Targeting and Marketing to Specific and Unique Keywords will Increase your Organic Google Traffic

Filed Under (SEO Basics) by admin on 26-09-2008

When writing articles on your blog be sure to create back links using targeted keywords. This will help Increase your Organic Traffic from Google and target specific keywords much easier. So today when I write this article I’m going to select specific Keywords to hyperlink to relevant topics regarding these discussions. This is all in test and theory for me and is a new experiment I’m working on. The general idea to get targeted traffic is to develop an understanding of how Google reads our blogs posts and what they look for while doing so.

As most my readers know I started an experiment a few days ago to see if I could potentially increase my Google Traffic by targeting Keyword while using unique content and descriptions for my article when submitting to other social networking media. First to let you know I’m using a social networking site I developed and launched that was specifically design for bloggers named blog engage. I would submit my written content to that website using unique content title and description so Google indexed the information twice without classifying it as duplicate content.

It’s been 48 hours now let’s see where I sit in Google’s index using the title and keywords. First let’s make a Google search for the following terms.

Increase organic traffic flow

Organic traffic from social networking

does unique content increase Google traffic

From doing the searches above I was able to link back to my website on many occasions. There’s one that specifically got my attention and it was the last search asking “does unique content increase my Google traffic” The results in that search query was outstanding! 5 of the 10 available links will eventually be sending readers to my seomkt blog. First I have my own blog article landing in the first 2 spots and blog engage isn’t far behind. The forth is digg.com and again I used unique topic titles and content when submitting.

With this post I’m trying to move toward adding Google in the topic and seeing if I can get indexed using that keyword. This will be very hard seeing thousands of people might be trying to do the same especially webmasters.

You can follow the steps I have been taking by reading the following articles.

Increase Website Traffic by using Top Webmaster Forums

Filed Under (Marketing, Promotion) by admin on 24-09-2008

Some people think creating solid traffic from webmaster communities is easy but in all reality this task can be very difficult. The first thing we need to do is ensure the webmaster forum is on target to our purpose and has the correct forum categories for us to take advantage of! What we want to look for on these webmaster forums are categories that will allow us to use the service available inside the forums while also advertising the website url without being  a spammer. The line that separates a spammer from an online marketer is extremely fine so let’s make sure you don’t create a bad name for yourself by following the example I share very closely.

The named forums below will offer many online marketing opportunities for your company or website! The best part about these options is the concept is allowed and not considered as spam. Let’s take a moment and break down these specific forums to explain and give an example of how we can market our website inside these forums.

Website Review Forums – Website reviews are perfect ways to jump start the traffic flow to your website. At this point you should be creating a basic template for a Website review request which can be used with little change at all the webmaster forums your sign up at. Don’t forget in this process you should include a website url to the website under review. If you want to be very specific you can ask for reviews on multiple pages which have minor differences in design and or reasoning.

Domain Name Appraisal Forums – Another great reason to post a website url. Simply ask the members to appraise the domain name and when adding a live link 99% of the time they will also visit your website! Trust me add the link these guys giving free review are deadly bored think about the service there offering for free! Use a similar script as mentioned in the above paragraph and make minor changes for each forum.

Buy, Sell or Trade Forums – The mother of all examples is this amazing forum. It’s like a free ticket to extremely exploit your website url with so many different way to do so. The best thing about the Buy, Sell or Trade Forums is they normally have about 10 other forums inside them. The sub forums you should be looking for include the following and sometimes you might have reasoning for the rest but normally these are great forums to start with,

Freebies - If you are offering any sort of free services or products (or seeking them), this is the only place those offers should be posted. Remember to always add your url when offering these services especially if it involves your website.
Content - Users buying and selling content (including databases) can conduct business here. This is another forum you should be adding your url too and again especially if it’s pertaining to your website!

Templates - Post your url when asking for custom or free template! Make sure the members know what website you are looking to replace the current template on.

Services – Offering free services on your website? This is the forum you should be posting inside. Always add the url where the free services are located allowing you to gain another back link and increased traffic.

Link Exchange – This is another great way to get a back link. Post your url and offer a link exchange with other webmaster forum members. This will generate a nice wave of website traffic as all people willing to link exchange will want to see the website there dealing with.

Link Sales -  Selling links from your website? Have an empty sidebar you don’t know what to do with? Again this is another forum for yet another back link. Post your website url and sell your link spots!

Contests
– Everyone loves contests but we can’t join if we don’t know what website is offering the contest so yup, another back link opportunity! Post your website url and tell all webmaster about this awesome contest!

I know sometimes marketing your website and or blog can become overwhelming but don’t give up! Some webmasters will make it difficult by posting silly replies to your forum topics but work with it and over come these situations. If you need examples of some Top Webmaster Forums visit that link and you will have a great start and maybe even a successful website to boot!

Cheers,

Marketing and Promotion using Social Networking Websites

Filed Under (Marketing, Promotion) by admin on 01-08-2008

There’s many ways to market and promote our selves in this ever growing social networking society. The methods for marketing and promoting our blogs has grown vastly and continues to grow daily at an even bigger rate. I think the main concern is telling the difference between good and the bad. As an example how good is 10,000 hits if you get zero comments on your blog? I would much rather prefer that one hit which turned out to be an awesome comment. Also that one hit wont waste my bandwidth and decrease my cost per click on ads.

I don’t really use digg, stumble upon or any of the major networking websites personally but I will digg or stumble upon a friend’s article when asked to. I try to focus on other marketing and promotion activities such as Search Engine Optimization and Link Exchanges. I’m also a very big fan of forum marketing as you probably know from reading al my posts. It wasn’t too long ago when I wrote an awesome article regarding the Top Webmaster forums on the net and if you have a sec and are a blogger please have a read.

Even if I wanted to keep up with all the available marketing and promotional websites these days I couldn’t and if I did I wouldn’t have time to even blog. Without blogging we have nothing to promote correct? So at the end of the day you must sit back and observe the result from your marketing efforts and determine what communities you’re going to continue using. Sure I use blogengage but I’m bias seeing I’m the owner of the site but blogengage might not be the right median for your marketing and promotional needs.

Maybe your blog is about money and you need tons of hits for a little bit id clicks. If this was the case I would suggest larger websites like the ones mentioned earlier. Sites like dig and stumble upon will most likely get your ads clicked and maybe even make you a few bucks.

Overall I use many methods of promotion and so should you! Don’t stop looking for that new idea or new way to get the word out about your blog! Continue marketing and promoting and create the brand name you deserve.

Let’s face it the first thing you want to do is ensure your website looks nice. Design and presentation etc.. When in all reality it should be the last thing on your mind.

Five Brilliant Ideas for Traffic Generation

Filed Under (Affiliate Program) by admin on 10-06-2008

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.

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

Simple way to generate simple traffic (mkt)

Filed Under (Marketing, Promotion) by admin on 09-12-2007

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.

Cheers
