How to boost traffic to your blog

Building Traffic to Your Blog

As a new blogger the question always come up - where do you get traffic? The one thing you have to do all the time is promote your blog. This can take up a lot of time researching and find the great places to promote your blog.

 

Here are some tips to let the world know of your blog.

 

1. Content is King

You will read this everywhere that useful content is the most important. You want to come up with content new and unique to your readers will come back for more.

 

2. Find and Participate in Niche Forums

It pays to visit forums in the same niche you have and post on the forums by answering and getting involved in the forum. You don't have to post any "Hey all come visit my blog" but you can add your blog in your signature. Your blog will appear in every post and you will receive traffic to your blog.

 

3. Visit Other Blogs

Search for other blogs with the same niche and pay them a visit. Also, be sure to comment so they'll visit your blog. They may even link to your blog and even discuss your blog.

 

4. Add Tags

Don't forget your Tags! This will help search engines find your blog plus help to direct those who are searching for your topic. Make sure you add all the necessary tags about your post.

 

5. Add Links

There are a couple ways you should add links. Important to add relevant blog links to your blogroll plus add links to other blogs in the text. The blogger on the other end of the link might just reciprocate with a link on the side of his blog.

 

6. Submit your Site

You should submit your site to all the blog search engines, you will need to ping all the engines every time you update. There are some free services such as Pingoat or Ping-O-matic to ping but they do not cover everyone. Also submit to Google Blog Search and Netscape. I found I get the most traffic from those two.

 

7. Install an RSS Button

Make it easy for others to subscribe to your blog by installing a RSS button.

 

8. Join Yahoo Groups

Another way is to join the yahoo groups. You can find your niche groups and there are a lot of groups that will let you post about anything. I have been able to get traffic that way; you just have to find out if the group leader is fine with your posting about your blog.

 

9. Analyze your Stats

You will need to implement a stat tracking service such as Site Meter to keep track of hits and traffic. Your stat tracker will let you know how people are stopping by daily, where they came from, what pages they viewed, how long they were there, and what page they entered and exited from. The Site Meter offers free service and is easy to install.

 

It takes time to build up traffic. It may take a few months to a year for your blog to get traffic. Keep posting.

 

Internet Marketers Are Cash Rich But Assets Poor- Creating Assets From Trading Financial Instruments

Why is it that most successful internet marketers are cash rich but assets poor?

As investing and trading the financial markets such as the forex, stocks and shares and commodity futures market is one of the cornerstones of personal wealth creation, how can the internet marketer address this dilemma to gain more assets?

Internet Marketers Are Cash Rich But Assets Poor

When the internet marketer makes his cash from his marketing efforts through his "thousand dollar" or "million-dollar" launches, or just his daily sales blitz that brings in the constant income, he becomes cash rich, but assets poor, other than his virtual assets like his rights to domains, websites and his info-products. So if you are an internet marketer, and you have a good cash flow from your internet marketing business, it is never too late to start right now to transit and also move into investing in the financial markets such as forex, stocks and shares or futures and commodities to start creating the assets flow - to own more liquid assets to your name.

Trading Instruments As Assets For The Internet Marketer

Among these financial instruments, stocks and shares are considered the original paper assets, giving you rights over part ownership in the companies you invest in. The other instruments confer short term ownership rights, because it is the nature of these instruments that they are subjected to price fluctuations over short periods of time, so that you may wish to trade in them rather than keep them for long term investment over years. That is why forex will rank the top choice for you if you are an internet marketer and wish to create a newer source of income- to create personal wealth within a short period of time. This is because the forex market is open everyday at any time, and the price of your currencies is subjected to fluctuations at any time, so that you can exploit these price fluctuations to your advantage by trading them.

Anecdotal Success Stories Of Internet Marketers - The Reason For Their Success

I have seen many internet marketers scrape through hand to mouth monthly from their marketing efforts, not making huge sums of money from their marketing activities, no matter how hard they have tried to set up blogs, post articles, send press releases, applied social bookmarking, even doing blackhat search engine optimisation on their sites, including cloaking.

But they have been some stunning success stories when these same internet marketers who have been struggling all the time, make a tiny adjustment to their marketing efforts. Sort of calling this a "butterfly effect" where the fluttering of the wings of a butterfly would cause the movement of tiny waves in the air which can cascade and multiply to be a part of a cyclonic effect elsewhere, a tiny re-adjustment to these internet marketers have spurn them on to fantastic success in their marketing.

Looking at these spectacular successes, there is a dominant factor which is discernible. What was the tiny adjustment that these internet marketers performed in these few internet marketers that I studied who became spectacular successes?

They re-apprised their role, so that as an internet marketer, their duty was to be responsible for idea generation and marketing project management - leaving everything else in between to outsourcing. They concentrated on the product generation -outsourcing the other marketing work to some cheap economic freelancers or sources. As a result of this outsourcing, their marketing promotion goes into overdrive, and they get massive targeted traffic that resulted in sales as they could concentrate on product generation. In other words, they get their role and their strategy correct!

The Crucial Key For Internet Marketers Moving Into TradingIt is crucial that you get this understanding at the very onset, if you are an internet marketer wishing to move into forex trading, shares or commodities trading.

Your main duty in forex trading is to get your trades correct. Your main duty is NOT to make money in forex trading, because no matter how hard you try to force the markets to give you money, the market is not going to grant what you desire. However, when you get your trades correct, when you have the correct trading strategy, and you are able to execute that trading plan with discipline, then success will follow and the markets will provide you the profits naturally. Profits will flow naturally as a result of you making the correct trades!

So your first step to move into forex trading, or shares trading and investment or futures and commodities trading is to get the correct training in terms of strategy, and learning to trade professionally as a business. Do not be penny wise and pound foolish in your education and training as a forex trader. Be very stringent on yourself, and pick the best mentor you can afford to learn how to trade and invest. Learn the successful trading techniques from a proven trader who has the trading experience. This is your first key to create personal wealth in forex trading or any other trading.
