I recently tried a new way (for me) to generate traffic and it worked really well but I must warn it’s a little time consuming. I’m not too sure about long term as I’m still in the the middle of practicing this technique.

If you’re going to do this you should probably have ‘some” spare time on your hands.

Medium: Blogs
Objective: Post quality comments on Blogs in which allow you to leave a url.
End Result: Increase in traffic generated from marketing activities

I’m very serious when I say this. Sure forums have their benefits and you can measure large numbers of traffic in a short periods of time. But when leaving Blog comments you get traffic over a longer period of time. (This is just what I noticed plus I’m far from a statistician) I’m still in the beginning of my experiment but to date it’s proven true.

At a specific website I own I received an average of 200 hits per day over the last 15 days. I can see that specific domain names are giving me a large % of all traffic generated. But if I look closely the sites in which I blogged and commented at are slowing gaining % but it’s taking longer for these blog domains to catch up. Even if forums will always generate more traffic, blog comments are always a good maintain your numbers. (YTD) or (Quarterly)

Even if this doesn’t work out, which it probably won’t considering I would have to post comments @ 50 ++ blogs to equal DP traffic, I’m still none the less generating more traffic for myself by doing both.

More traffic equals a better community and income if that’s your deal.

The life of affiliate marketing business depends on traffic. No traffic, no site to exist. It will help you increase your click ratio and sales commissions. Here are the 5 ways to drive visitors to your website:

Blogging

Like a web diary where you can write interesting articles for readers. The articles you made can be use to link your readers to your site also known as back links. Back links can help you to improve search engine ranking. Register one of your blogs on www.blogspot.com and Google will promote your blog in 2 days with RSS feeds to gain more traffic.

Forums

A fun way to promote your business where you can post questions and answers to learn a lot and help others. Advertisements are not allowed here but you can display your email signature every time you post.

Viral Marketing

One of the oldest and best forms of marketing. You can give away an e-book on your site and have a couple of links and a full-page ad in the back for your product or service. Grant permission to your readers to give away the book and see this promotion snowball.

Social Marketing

One good example is MySpace. Myspace is now being used as a popular way of marketing products and services.

Article Distribution

A powerful way to promote your business where you can write interesting and informative articles for your readers. It will bring many visitors to your site. If you want to save time, visit www.moreniche.com to get many resources including free weekly content that you can also use for your article distribution.

Avoiding Affiliate Scams

Affiliate marketing helps you in making your business profitable and fun at the same time. The key is choosing the right programs. You can benefit with the good programs either be involved with scams that will not pay you for your hardships and owe you the commission you deserve in the end.

How to avoid scams: The best way to avoid these scams, do your research well. Consider these points before joining:

1. Does the company have good support? Do they answer emails and have valid contact information?

2. Do they have a valid offline address?

3. What % of commission do they pay; 30%-50% is the best.

4. Tracking system – this should be in real time and accurate.

5. Products should be well targeted for your market and of good quality.

Where to research:

1. Forums related to your industry. There are many savvy people who use the forums for reference. You can ask advice from others base on the programs they use.

2. Discussion lists.

3. Look into the program carefully.

4. Put the company name, plus the word scam, into the search engines and see what comes up. Use your own judgment, as sometimes these reviews may not be 100% true.

GOLDEN RULE:

Look before you join to prevent being victimized with these scams. It is advisable if you ask other people’s opinions. Do not rush, choose good reliable programs wisely that will give you the profits you want for many years to come.

This is massive activity promoting all my blogs and websites! This list isn’t made in any specific order so don’t think the first added is the best because it all depends on what you’re marketing and promoting!

Today we will discuss the little things you can do in order to generate more search engine traffic! I’m not a professional in any way but I do have trick and techniques I use to develop traffic which I like to share with all my readers. One of the biggest question asked is how do I get myself listed in other search engine besides Google? Well it’s pretty simple and in this blog I’ll explain the steps you need to take. First let discuss msn search. I know for a fact if you don’t do this you’re highly likely to go your whole life and never see a hit from MSN so I suggest you go and do this when you’re done reading the blog.

Sign Up

First visit the following link, Webmaster Live

From here if you don’t have an account sign up for one and if you do have an account simply log in. After logging in you should have been sent to the “add a website url” screen. Simply add your url, and e-mail address for contact purposes. I don’t subscribe to the webmasters newsletter but if you’re interested just check the box! After adding your site you should be given an html tag you can add to the header page allowing verification that you in deed do own the website being submitted.

Mind you this technique or service isn’t a guaranteed way to improve msn search engine traffic but none the less it’s an effort on your part in order to start getting listed! I’ve personally always have issues getting traffic from msn and since I did this for Blog Engage I have already noticed “some” traffic coming from their search engine whereas before I literally got none!

After searching on the internet for some time with little to no luck I decided it would be a good idea to share some of the best places I’ve found to write guest blog posts. First I must say we always welcome Guest Blogging here on Blog Engage. With that said you’re still looking for new places to submit guest articles and I have some of the best to share with you. If you enjoy please share the article with your friends on your favorite networks.

If you would like to get this opportunity and you blog about Business, SEO, Marketing, Design, Social Networking, Making Money Online, or Blogging Tips, then you are more than welcome to guest post for Famous Bloggers.

I wanted to mention Ms. Ileane’s Basic Blog Tips first because she’s always been an amazing supporter of Blog Engage and because of that we have become very good friends. Basic Blog Tips has an amazing community behind it and you will always have people commenting and engaging with you on your guest post.

So if you’re looking for a place to guest blog header on over and tell Ileane Brian sent you. Ileane will accept articles in many niches some including, Social Media, Blogging Tips, Traffic Generation and much more. I suggest you take a moment and visit her About Basic Blog Tips Page it’s very inspiring.

The second site I wanted to share with you is another favorite of mine. First I want to say the owner Brian. Now Brian is a really amazing guy, down to earth and always looking to help other people.

The Guest blog site named, Hot Blog Tips has a great thriving and growing community behind it and always has a large audience to share your content with. Brain has worked hard on building up his community and now it’s ready for your guest blog articles. If your looking for a way to increase your online authority this is the one step every blogger needs to take.

If you’re more of an aggressive and intense blogger, then I strongly recommend my good friend Wong’s Site The Bad Blogger. Wong allows for guest blogging where Sex and Money come into play.

Wong also accepts Blogging Tips, Social Media related topics. If you think you have what it takes and your brave enough to dive in I strongly recommend writing a few articles with Won and The Bad Blogger company. Wong has been building his blog for sometimes now and has a great following. This is your perfect opportunity to impress his readers.

Talking about Money, AZ Blog Tips is a great upcoming potential for guest bloggers. The website is clean and fresh of good quality content. The community is starting to really grow allowing their guest blogger to benefit from submitting killer content about Affiliate marketing and making Money Online. If you head over and visit Tinh Tran’s guest blog site make sure to tell him Brian sent you from Blog Engage.

Blogger 24 is really new in my arsenal and I haven’t had the chance to Guest Blog there yet. I have had good intentions on signing up and seeing about submitting my first post. The blogs primary focus is all about blogging, internet marketing, search engine optimization and make money online.

I’ve been watching this site over the past week and it’s really impressive. The community seems to be growing and engaging with the content on the blog. The quality is very good and audience participation is high. I strongly recommended trying to write a few article here and growing your online name. I would suggest writing here if you can I bet the results will be positive.

It was late last night when I was doing this article but I wanted to update this morning and wanted to add a new blog to the group. Justin aka Dragon Blogger is an amazing place to submit your guests posts to if you like to blog about technology. Justin has a really great following and community that will engage with your guest post and make you feel at home.

DragonBlogger is a Technology and Entertainment portal that in addition to featuring technology articles and product reviews, also has a section designed to provide tips to help bloggers earn more and improve in their online ventures.

Another great site to guest blog at is named I Blog Zone. DiTesco is a long time friend of mine and of the Blog Engage community. He’s always looking out for top quality content so his readers can engage and conversations. If you feel your ready to write at this level I strongly recommend visiting and writing for him.

iBlogZone’s primary objective is to help internet users to establish a profitable online business by providing information and resources about, Making Money Online, Blogging Tips, Social Web, Internet Marketing, SEO – Search Engine Optimization, Domain Investing & Web Hosting and Technology. Best of luck and remember quality content is important so don’t be slacking!

I know the list keeps growing but it’s a good sign right? I wanted to add Famous Blogger I cannot imagine this list without them. In fact I just saw a tweet from Hishaman and felt really bad that I forgot to add him. In fact ti’s very foolish of me to forget famous bloggers as they are one of the first real popular blogs here on Blog Engage to allow guest posts.

When creating a website or business you have to remember no matter how hard you try you can’t satisfy all the needs of your potential customers. So what you have to do here is focus and concentrate on a specific target market, a specific segment of the whole available market that will offer the most profit from your potential consumers. In short a target market is a group of individuals in which a company and or a website targets its services or products too. The majority of the time this group will have similar interests or characteristics such as age, gender, education, occupation, and or live in the same geographical area.

Target Market

In theory the similarity of the target market should mean that all the people in this group should respond accordingly to a similar marketing campaign. Remember this is in theory and in reality marketing is extremely competitive and many competitors battle it out for the same set of customers. So when all is said and done the competitor with the best marketing strategy and has the most impact on the target market will win the battle.

Marketing Strategy

When creating your marketing strategy ensure that you’re offering the better price, place, and or promotion then your competitors. If you don’t you’re liable to lose market share and overall sales depending on your product and or service you’re offering to the end consumer.

I hope this helps you understand your target market a little better and also gives you a better understanding of where to focus your energy. Ensure you have selected the proper target market and you’re off to a good start.
