Driving Traffic Using ANY Subject
2008-04-22 00:56:00 Any subject can be used to drive traffic. In the midwest, we recently had an earthquake.

2008-04-19 13:44:00 When you are planning on make a good idea into a great blog or web site, you need to make sure that you don't slack off and let the tension go out of the line. What I mean is you need to continue to work on the blog on a daily basis. At the beginning of each week, I create a to-do list for the week for the promotion and content efforts of my various sites. There are some things that need to be done on a regular basis and there are new things that I try each week.

Drive Ginormous Traffic: Redirect Microsoft.com To Your Domain
2008-04-18 21:00:00 Before I get to the meat of this post, let me tell you now that you will NOT be able to actually grab microsoft.com's traffic for yourself. I used that title as an example of what this post is about, which is using expired domains to drive traffic to your site. Besides, Billy G. would never let microsoft.com expire. There are a ton of articles out there that profess the benefits of purchasing expired domain in order to utilize the traffic remaining on those domains. In How To Snatch An Expiring Domain , Mike Davidson tells all about his first experience with an expired domain. He indicated that he purchased the domain for $18.95 and in two and a half months, made $369. Another article, posted by Mike Santiago on MakeMoneyOnTheInternet.com, talks a lot about not only the existing traffic, but about building the domain up so it can eventually be sold for a higher price. Although a lot of the articles out there talk about making money on the si... More About: Microsoft , Traffic , Drive , Redirect

301 Redirect for SEO
2008-04-18 15:00:00 A 301 redirect is a method of redirecting a request for one particular page to an alternate URL. This method indicates to the search engines that the redirection is permanent. This is as opposed to a 302 redirect (temporary redirect). 301 redirect is of benefit to the site owner because the search engines will not look upon the redirection as a trick or duplicate content. It will see it as a valid redirection and it will go to the new site to pick up content. Some uses for 301 redirect are: You purchase a new domain and you want to move all of your blog's content there. In order to not lose your search engine ranking, you should 301 redirect all existing URLs to the respective location on the new site. You want to split the content up on one site into multiple sites. The specific content going to new sites should be 301 redirected. 301 redirects are easy to set up.

Site Age Calculation Change
2008-04-18 06:40:00 OFFICIAL RELEASE The ICANNIWILL agency has decided to modify the method used to calculate the age of web sites. Currently, the calculation is made from the first day the URL was registered and is counted in years. As of 4/1/2008, the way that calculation is made has changed. The start date of the site will remain the same, however, the age of the site will now be calculated in Dog Years. This change is being made because of the inflation. Here is an example using the new calculation: www.justanothersitewithads.com was purchased on 6/1/2005. If the calculation was made on 6/1/2007, it would produce a value of 14 years old. If you have any questions about the new calculation, please send all correspondence to justanotheremailaddress@justanotherwebsit e.com. More About: Change , Site

Using Twitter To Promote Your Blog
2008-04-18 02:30:00 You can even use the social networking site called Twitter to promote your site. Here are some of the ways you can do that: If your blog software is Wordpress, you can install a plugin that will automatically post an entry to your Twitter account when you submit a new post to your blog. Add your web address to your Twitter profile and a link to the web address will show up next to your account name on every tweet. If your friends have a Twitter account (and even if they don't---they can get one), have them tweet about your site and include a link. I'm always on Twitter and I have clicked on links from there many times. More About: Promote , Blog
10 Unconventional Site Promotion Ideas
2008-04-18 02:30:00 Here are some unconventional site promotion ideas I came up with yesterday: Bathroom stall wall Tape a note to your own back Have the phone company change the name on your callerID to your web address Create an email account like www.spendingless101.com_@gmail.com and use that to send out all of your emails. Use your web address as your account on Windows Live Messenger, then log on and off periodically throughout the day. Your buddies will see your web address pop up in the lower right hand corner of their screen, which will entice them to visit your site. Print up flyers with only your web address on it, then pay some kids .02 per flyer to put them on cars at your local mall. (I actually like this one) Give your kids some chalk, take them to a grocery store, and have them write the web address on the ground in front of the exit door. Pay a skywriter to write the web address in the sky above a croweded baseball stadium...preferably NOT on a windy day (visitors... More About: Ideas , Promotion , Site

10 tips to drive massive traffic to a new blog
2008-04-11 21:23:00 I have a process that I go through when setting up a new blog. I tried to get it all down on paper, but there are so many things. Here are 10 of the things I do... Write your blog posts as if they were articles, then post them to article directories: This can drive a lot of traffic and can also get your work out to the public because your articles will be used as content on multiple blogs...all linking back to you. Social bookmark your posts. SocialPoster.com is the best tool for doing this that I've come across. List your blog in blog and site directories. Add your blog to DMOZ.org, which is syndicated on quite a lot of sites. Comment on other people's blogs. Join social networks, like Facebook, Friendster, MySpace, etc... #2 will drive this one because, most of the time, you have to be a member in order to post links on these sites. Set up your RSS feed in FeedBurner. Answer questions on Yahoo and Li... More About: Traffic , Tips , Drive , Blog

Calgon!!! Take me AWAY!!!!
2008-04-09 00:56:00 In order to completely get this blog caught up, at least by my definition of caught up, I would have to: All posts must be submitted to all of the social bookmarking sites at socialposter.com. Currently, 41 have been submitted, which leaves 117 left to go. Remove all unnecessary category tags Take all posts that can also qualify as articles and post them to article submission sites (20) Write enough posts to have two show up each day for the next two weeks (get two weeks ahead on posting) Drop 300 EntreCards per day / advertise site with all available ec’s (daily) Submit RSS feed to feed directory sites (20) Create links from each post to at least one other post on the site (internal linking) This stuff will never be done because more keeps getting pilled onto me every day.

5 Reasons To Stop Stumbling and Start Living
2008-04-08 09:37:00 I have to admit that StumbleUpon is very addicting. I've stumbled for hours at a time; wasting the time I was going to use to promote my blogs or post entries. Actually, it's been kind of like EntreCard dropping. I've been addicted to that one also. Here are 5 reasons you should stop Stumbling and start living: 1. The pile of granola bar wrappers and Mountain Dew cans are starting to impair your view of the monitor. 2. You have Stumbled EVERY site in StumbleUpon and are starting over where you originally started Stumbling 3 days ago. 3. StumbleUpon has warned you many times about staying logged onto their site and using up all of their bandwidth. 4. You've just stumbled upon your ex-wife's Match.com profile and you think she's HOT. 5. The StumbleUpon icon has worn off the stumble button. More About: Living , Start , Stop , Reasons
