Blog Promotion Through The Use
Of Tools And Resources That Do Not
Cost A Single Dime And Will Produce
Heavy Long-Term Blog traffic


This post is meant to compliment the strategy explained by Mike Paetzold
in his June 20, 2008 blog post, Using Free Resources To Increase Your Blogs Traffic, which appeared on the blog, WordPress Web 2.0 Spot-Er.

Mike lists 5 free resources complete with a fulll explanation of how to use them.

I would like to add 3 free resources that will have a huge benefit on your long-term .

  1. Google Blog Search

  2. Blog Directory Submission

  3. Article Directory Submission

(1)Google Blog Search is used in the following manner:

Every day type in one of the most important keywords for your main blog (your money blog). You will find current posts relevant to your keyword. Make three helpful posts per day that have a hyperlink to your money blog.

In the name slot of the comment box it is OK to enter your main keyword if it is relevant to the theme of your comment.

Naturally, in the url box goes the link to your money blog.

In addition, you can do additional comments that link to the other blogs, Squidoo lenses, or Hub pages you set up to link to your money blog.

(2)Blog Directory Submission should be conducted every day.

Your daily goal should be 3-5 daily submissions of your money blog.

Start off with the Priority Directories.

Over the long term you will develop a very strong backlink structure that should result in top search engine placement for the most important keywords for your blog.

As you develop added content for the Wordpress.com and Blogger blogs you set up to promote your money blog, you should include these blogs in your submission process.

(3)Article Directory Submission should be done on a daily basis if done manually.

Submit to 3-5 directories per day. You should be submitting articles that are closely related to the most important keywords for your money blog.

It’s OK to have some of the links in your research box point to your supplemental blogs as well as your money blog.

The combination of directory and article will produce an exceedingly strong backlink structure that will provide permanent long-term blog traffic benefits.

These directory submission tasks are perfect for outsourcing. Or, if your kids are old enough, add directory submissions as part of the tasks they have to do to earn their allowance.

Making part or all of your kids’ allowance a business expense is a method of making money you are alreading spending tax deductible.

Add these 3 steps to Mike Paetzold’s recommended course of action, and you will have a powerful and effective strategy.

Link Popularity Strategy - Promotes Heavy Blog Traffic

June 17th, 2008


This technique is very simple. Find two other related blogs or Web sites and seek to initiate a 3 way trade of (0ne-way links).

You link to A

A links to B

B links to you

You ==>> A ==>> B ==>> You

While this strategy has been around for quite some time not many places offer a list of resources for you to use to implement this strategy.


7 Resources For Strong Backlinks

  1. The SiteSell Value Exchange

  2. Link Referral

  3. TopTenSerp

  4. Google Blog Search

  5. Free Directory Software

  6. Web 2.0 Sites

  7. TrafficNymphomaniac.com


(1)The best source of quality Web sites and blogs where webmasters are serious about their Internet success.

The SiteSell Value Exchange

When you register your site, you will include your most important keywords.

You are indicating that you are willing to exchange value with other sites that have a similar theme/topic content.

The SiteSell Value Exchange will search for similar sites, ones with topical content that relates to yours.

The exchange puts the two of you together, at no charge. After that, it steps back and you communicate with each other, deciding if and where to place your links to each other.

My strategy is to take the value exchange process one step further and include a third site that wants to exchange links with you, and propose a .

Register and experience the whole process.

Highly recommended!

(2)Once you register you can review other sites/blogs and get your site reviewed in return.

LinkReferral

You can be selective and only review sites in related categories to yours.

When you get a favorable review, that reviewer is a candidate for a . Visit the reviewers site and decide if it is an appropriate site for a link exchange.

In addition, some site owners will respond favorably to your review of their site, and they may also be candidates for an exchange.

You will get email notice when your site is reviewed and someone has bookmarked your site.

Anyone who has bookmarked your site is a candidate for a 3 way link exchange.

They are prime prospects for the strategy discussed in #6 below.


(3)You can automate this whole 3 way link exchange process through this program.

TopTenSerp

The reason I did not lead off with this program is the essential fact that success on the Internet is based on relationships.

This automated process cuts out some of the benefits of interaction and building a relationship.

(4)You can easily find related blogs through a keyword search of important terms related to your blog.

Google Blog Search

Contact two bloggers at a time concerning a 3-way link exchange. Be sure to include the third party blog info when you initiate your offer to each blogger.

(5)Even though these are sophisticated directory scripts you want to set up a simple directory for your 3-way partners.

Site Sift Listings Free Directory Script

Omega 1.6 Free Directory Software

You do not want to accept third party submissions.

You want to establish a permanent “page” rather than a blog post.

Having a separate page makes the efforts to verify the link easier for your 3 way partners.

If you do not want to take the effort to install the directory software, you can just establish a page of “Valuable Links” and install relevant categories on the page to organize the links.


(6)Form a group (3-6 members) for mutual promotion. Use the Web2.0 resources below to create and traffic.

http://digg.com/

Ask members of the group to “Digg” your blog posts or Web pages.

One group member can submit the post and the other members can vote it up.

http://technorati.com/

Have other members make your post their “favorite” in Technorati.

http://onlywire.com/

Have other members submit your posts to OnlyWire.

You will get backlinks and traffic from this mutual effort.

As part of the group promotion effort you want to post comments on each others blogs.

One technique is to refer to (hyperlink) in your blog comment a third member’s blog post or Web site resource if it is particulary relevant to the topic discussed.

See the link immediately below for instructions of how to facilitate submission of blog and Web site material to OnlyWire.

http://onlywire.com/index?addinfo


(7)Use this blog post as a resource when you initiate your 3 way link exchange efforts.

TrafficNymphomaniac.com

I hope this post will be of value in explaining the full scope and benefits of the 3 way link exchange process and help in greatly increasing your .

Direct 3 way link exchange prospects to this post for a full understanding of what’s involved.

Finally, What techniques do you use to get backlinks (one way incoming links)??

Internet Marketing Strategy:Using Provacative Domain Names To Produce Heavy Blog Traffic

June 4th, 2008


Heavy Blog Traffic Through
Re-Direction Of Domain Names
That Provoke Laughter Or Curiosity


Could you benefit from heavy traffic to a money making page on your Web site or blog??

How about heavy traffic to a list building lead capture page??

Here’s an easy-to-use that shows how to provoke heavy traffic to either or both of the above in 3 simple steps.

  1. Choose a that’s humerous or provokes curiosity
  2. Re-direct that domain name traffic to any url you choose
  3. Use the new in forum posts, forum signatures, blog comments, and email signatures

(1)You want to buy a domain name for the express purpose of re-directing traffic to a specific blog or Web site page.

So you will come up with a domain name that is closely related to the theme of the page you are promoting.

Let’s say you have a professional wrestling blog. You have written a post, “Famous Wrestling Techniques That Result In A Win”.

Use humor or curiosity in your domain name.

IRefuseToDateAnyWomanWhoHasMasteredThisWrestlingTechnique.com

OR

TheSecretWrestlingTechniqueThatInducesUltimatePain.com

These are just examples of two choices that might induce a laugh or curiosity and provoke the reader to click the link (The above domains would be hyperlinked in actual practice).

You can:

  • Choose the domain name first and then write posts that have a strong thematic relationship to your chosen domain

    OR

  • Select a domain name to re-direct to an existing blog post or Web page. The domain name should be closely rellated to the page that receives the .

You will enjoy huge long-term benefits by mastering this concept and technique and adapting them to whatever is the theme of your blog/site.

Bounce your domain name possibilities off of friends who have the same interests. You probably can come up with some outrageous, relevant domain names.

(2)Use the free re-direct service of your domain registrar.

I use MyDomain.com for my domain names. They provide a free re-direction service for domain names (not just ones purchased there).

You will need DNS info from your hosting comapny to put the re-direction in place. You can change the re-direction at any time.

Most domain name companies will provide this re-direction service for free.

(3)Use your chosen domain name in forum posts, as a forum signature, in your email signature, and in blog comments.

When you make a forum post that adds meaningful content to the discussion, and it is appropriate to refer in the post to your blog/Web site, then that is the time to use your new domain name.

Be sure to capitalize each word in the domain name for maximum click-thrus (This has been split tested).

Or you can simply use the new domain name as your forum signature.

Some forums permit multiple links in the signature box.

Your email signature may be a good place to use your new domain name depending on its theme. You decide.

Finally, making blog comments on other blogs provides a super opportunity for promoting traffic to your chosen site.

You do not even have to refer to your site in the post.

Substitute your domain name where your personal name would be (no http://). Sign the comment itself with your full name.

Enter the full url of your domain name in the appropriate box.

The blog comment must be closely related to your domain name which receives the traffic. Don’t make a comment on a cooking blog and use your wrestling domain name.

Also, some blog owners may regard using the domain url in place of your name as spam, but most will not if the domain name is related in theme to the post being commented on.

If you make a meaningful and helpful blog comment, you should get a very high click-thru rate on your domain name and increase your substantially.

Finally, keep in mind that you can buy domain names to re-direct to your internal pages as well as your home page.

Can you suggest any other ways to use domain name re-direction??

If so, please leave a comment.

Best of success.

Robert

  3. Valuable plug-ins
  4. Sources of ping list

(1)This explanation of is strictly in non-technical terms.

There are ping services that scan blogs regularly for updates and publish the recently updated blogs.

When you “blog” (publish a post), you want to notify the blogging community and the search engines of your post. Blogging is unique in that this notification can be done on a wide scale instantaneously.

The “ping” from “blog and ping” is the message that you send out to all the ping services, , and search engines that you have posted fresh content.

There are many who will subscribe to the of the ping services, so that when they post your blog update, it can be read by a very widespread audience across the Internet.

(2)Below is one of the most comprehensive ping lists you can find anywhere on the Internet.

If you have a Wordpress blog, the ping notification is automated whenever you publish new content.

Be sure to see #3 below which explains a Wordpress liability.

Go to the Control Panel =>Options =>Writing.

(3)When you publish fresh content, Wordpress automatically will ping everyone on your . That part is great.

But, Wordpress will also do the same whenever you edit already published content.

This can cause you to spam the ping services with excess pings if your edit involves numerous steps.

To eliminate this problem you can use one of two plug-ins that modify Wordpress so that it does not ping when you edit published posts.

I have listed two excellent choices for this task, and it is up to you which one you prefer:

Ultimate Plugins Smart Update Pinger

MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer

(4)This comprehensive ping list was compiled from three different sources:

  1. The ping list in Jack Humphrey’s Authority Black Book (2008 version):

    http://AuthorityBlackBook.com

  2. The ping list from the blog, DailyBlogTips:

    http://www.dailyblogtips.com/ping-list/

  3. The ping list by Jeff Johnson posted on the blog Manuel Viloriea.com:

My thanks to these three sources.

Increase Blog Traffic Through The Top
101 Blog Directories & RSS Submission Sites

April 25th, 2008


Create A Strong Backlink Structure
Increase Your Blog Traffic Through
This Totally Up-To-Date List Of Blog
Directories & RSS Submission Sites

A couple of guidelines for making the best use of this resource:

First, all the links work!!

During the several weeks of work necessary to compile this list I must have encountered dozens of bad links.

There is nothing more annoying than waiting 30-60 seconds for a directory page to load only to find that the link is bad.

If you do find any bad links in this list, please leave a comment informing me so.

Please allow 24 hours for a re-check of bad links before you make your comment since many dead links are temporary.

Also, you may suggest additional worthwhile directory or to be included in this list through comments.

I will update the listing based on suggestions weekly.

Thanks.

Second, some fundamental info regarding the use of this list of the Top 101 Blog Directories And RSS Submission Sites.

I have excluded any blog directory that does not offer a free submission alternative.

Keep in mind that your directory submission should be coordinated with promotional efforts with all or most of these alternative techniques:

  • Automated Post And Ping
  • social bookmarking
  • Social networking
  • story submission sites
  • sustaind link building

Therefore, it is totally unnecesaary to pay a fee to get your blog listed in any directory. Wasted money.

You won’t be able to measure the benefit of paid submissions to your if you have all the alternatives listed above in place.

Although, I must admit I have a sneaking admiration for directory owners who are charging a fee and getting away with it!

Next, I do not place any restrictions on how you use this list. Joining these directories creates valuable .

When you add the directory urls to your own site, you are turning into .

In most Internet marketing circles backlinks are considered more valuable than . So, you may want to limit the number of directory urls that appear on your site.


If you find this list truly valuable, I would appreciate a backlink in one of these forms:

Blog Promotion With Blog Directory Backlinks

OK. Moving on. You will first see the overall, comprehensive list.

There are several sub-categories within the overall list. You can go directly to that sub-category by clicking the links below:

  1. Priority Directories (indicated by PPP)
  2. Reciprocal link required
  3. Added content requirements
  4. Add Rating HTML To Blog

(1)Since there are over 101 directories I created a sub-category of the most important or priority directory listings you should make certain that you have in place.

(2)Numerous directories require a reciprocal link, so you can take care of all these at once by having a Reciprocal Link Page or Category on your blog. Then, once your page is set up you can join the respective directories.

(3)Some directories require a minimum
number of posts or minimum age for your
blog. Other requirements may be in place
and all such blogs have been grouped in
this separate sub-category.

(4)Some directories have a rating or ranking function, and it is necessary for you to add the ranking HTML to your blog. See the end of this post for an example.
