Improve your blogs performance - Increase Traffic

For those of us who are dependant on the traffic we are able to generate for our blogs, we have “3 Ways to Immediately Increase Search Engine Traffic”. And to add further, Nick Wilson of Performancing Blog, gives us The Art of Linkbaiting.

Nick cuts to the chase on Linkbaiting and gives us the answer to what we have all wondered in the past . . . how do you get someone to link to you if you’re a new blog. He writes; Ever found it hard to get other bloggers to link to a new blog? Sure you have, it's not easy sometimes. Even established blogs need to expand their traffic and influence on a regular basis, and linkbaiting is one way to do it. It's not without potential perils, but the time honored tradition of being contrary, in order to get attention is well proved, and done right, it's a killer way to break into a new area. There are also safer ways of linkbaiting, they're just less fun :)
In order to bait a link, you need a hook. Hooks come in variety of flavors, some of the more popular would include:

• News Hook
• Contrary Hook
• Attack Hook
• Resource Hook
• Humour Hook

And then he proceeds to show examples of each which are very enlightening. If you’re planning on earning on your own blog, you don’t want to miss this one. Performancing Blog is dedicated to helping bloggers succeed; great site.

Traffic – Give me Traffic . . .

The bane of every online marketer is the need for traffic. You can have the perfect site and sell the perfect product at an unbelievably low price and it won’t matter unless you have traffic. And unfortunately organic traffic is one of the hardest things to get.

In fact to stay in business, at least in the beginning, you almost have to resort to some form of advertising. And paid advertising can cut into profits pretty darn quick if you’re not extremely careful.

Kim Roach of 'UnleashTheTrafic.com’ wrote this week about Untapped Advertising Hot Spots. With an expected 20 Billion in online advertising next year (yes that’s a ‘B’ – Billion) every affiliate marketer should be able to find advertising venues that fall within their budget. She explores 4 of the most lucrative online advertising spots that are currently available to you. They include CPA programs, blog ads, comparison shopping engines, and the ISEDN.

Hopefully this will give you some advertising ideas that extend past the Pay-Per-Click we all seem to rely on. Check out the Traffic page on www.EarnOnYourComputer.com for more ways to increase your traffic.

Until next time . . .
