o Let Your Weblogs Show You The Money


Some of my best online earnings have come from
reading my site's traffic logs. I usually spend
an hour or two each day reading my logs - these
are the direct site logs recording where my traffic
is coming from, how long they stay on my site and
which keyword phrases they used to find my site.

This is not exactly the same as going in once or
twice a month and checking your web stats. I do
that too and I use Google Analytics which is also
very helpful but reading your logs each day gives
you a perfect snapshot of your site's traffic.

I am talking about real-time study and analysis
of your site's visitors. It's an old habit that
has paid of nicely.

Here's why:

By reading your logs you get a real detailed
picture of your site very quickly. Where your
visitors are coming from and how they reach
your site. You can also see how they react
to your site by seeing where they go to on your
site.

If you're into affiliate marketing or sell
products from your site - you can quickly
see which keyword phrases are converting into
sales. I usually match up the times of my sales
to my site's logs if I don't already have
tracking in place.

This gives me a quick indication of what keywords
are converting into sales. It also gives me
the source of that traffic.

Let me give you an example, I sell a lot of
high ticket items (in the 1000-5000 range) on
my sites thru affiliate programs. If I get
4 or 5 sales in one day which I can't account
for thru my tracking - all I have to do is look
at my traffic logs and see where those sales are
coming from.

It's not 100% certain but if you match up the
traffic log times and the times of the sales
- chances are you have found your source.

For an online marketer finding where your
sales are coming from and what keyword phrases
they're using really does show you the money.

Once I have these keyword phrases I can further
optimize my site or even build new pages to
bring in more sales. I can even use PPC (Pay Per
Click) advertising to target these keywords.

Recently, I noticed a lot of traffic/sales coming
from social media sites like Yahoo! Answers and
StumbleUpon... people were book-marketing and
recommending my urls or pages on my sites and
this was resulting in a lot of subscribers and
sales.

It is a source of traffic which is new, I mainly
depend on the search engines for organic traffic
with a lot of #1 rankings for my targeted keywords.
This was something new and I would never have
considered marketing to these groups had I not
been religiously reading my site's traffic logs.

Please don't get me wrong, I use other tracking
software as well as Google Analytics. But reading
your traffic logs each day will show you profitable
streams that can pay off big time. If you're not
reading your traffic logs - give it a try and see
for yourself.

See my article below on many of these top media
sites for getting more traffic to your site.

One of the most effective ways to increase your
web site traffic is to tap into the major sources
of massive traffic on the web. Read this article
to discover how you can use these special traffic
hubs to harvest massive amounts of traffic for your
own site. It's easier than you think...


Top 10 Sources For Massive Web Site Traffic
Copyright © 2007 Titus Hoskins



Experienced webmasters know there are special sources
or places on the web which will send massive amounts
of traffic to your site. They also know, if harnessed
properly, these mega traffic sites will supply any
web site with a steady stream of visitors.

Perhaps the best source of web site traffic is Google.
That's not exactly a Newsflash, but the key to getting
massive amounts of traffic from Google is to go wide and
long. With this strategy, instead of targeting highly
popular keywords which may be too competitive for your
site to win, you create a whole multitude of lesser known
long tail keyword phrases to bring in the traffic.

This traffic takes longer to build but because very few
webmasters bother with these longer phrases, your keywords
will be more stable and secure. Develop a whole list of
these traffic generating keyword phrases and Google will
reward you with a whole flood of targeted visitors stemming
from these thousands of small dribbles of long tail keyword
traffic.

Turning these dribbles of traffic into massive amounts is
not a difficult task, one very effective way to tap into the
entire search engine source of traffic is to tag everything.
Tags are just another name for keywords. As Web 2.0 or
Social Bookmarking sites become more and more popular,
tagging will become extremely important.

You must be especially careful of how you tag the content
on your site or sites. If you're using a blogging system
like WordPress, all your categories will be considered
tags automatically. If you're creating URLs, be careful
to place your keyword phrase in your links.

Another effective way to tap into the whole keyword traffic
system is to include your keyword phrase or variations of
it in your articles while promoting your site. Place your
anchor text in your links in the resource box at the end
of each article.

Over time, as these articles become distributed all over
the web, they will create a steady stream of targeted
visitors to your site. Simple, effective and very powerful.

You are probably tired of hearing about Web 2.0 and the
new Social Bookmarking sites but they are some of the best
places for massive traffic on the web. Any webmaster who
has been Slashdotted already knows this fact all too well;
if you get a listing on the homepage of Slashdot.com you
will immediately start receiving thousands of visitors to
your site. It can be somewhat scary.

A similar experience is getting one of your articles
published in ezines run by Addme.com, SiteProNews.com,
WebProNews.com, as well as others. These ezines go out
to hundreds of thousands of readers and can produce
massive traffic back to your site.

However, much of this sudden traffic is only temporary
and most savvy webmasters know it would be wise to try and
capture the contact information of these temporary visitors
for follow-up targeting. Turn that temporary visitor into
a patron of your site by offering a free ecourse or an email
newsletter.

The same marketing technique should be applied to traffic
coming from all these social media sites. Don't think of your
traffic as just numbers in your website's stats, but rather
as potential customers who will return to your site again
and again.

Keep this strategy in mind as you target some of these
Top Sources of massive traffic on the web:

1. Digg.com
2. Netscape.com
3. Ezinearticles.com
4. Del.icio.us
5. StumbleUpon.com
6. Reddit.com
7. Slashdot.org
8. BlinkList.com
9. Furl.net
10. Squidoo.com

You should be actively promoting these social bookmarking
sites by allowing your visitors to easily bookmark your
content. You should be creating your own content on sites
like Squidoo and placing links back to your site.

Of course, there are countless other sources of massive
traffic on the web. Press releases is another effective
way of quickly drawing in massive traffic to your site.
Sites like PRWeb can deliver targeted traffic very quickly
and efficiently.

Another very effective and high converting venue you should
try is Yahoo! Answers, a simple process where users post
a question and other members/experts offer answers. Used
correctly this can be a good source of targeted traffic.

Don't forget other important search engines such as MSN Live,
traffic from MSN has earned a solid reputation for converting
very well. So optimize your web pages for MSN Live Search and
you will probably see an increase in your sales as well as your
traffic.

Always keep in mind, the underlying key factor running
through all these sources of massive traffic is unique
quality content. You must create good original content
on your sites as well as in your articles and posts. Your
content must be informative, useful or entertaining. For
in the end, it is this quality content that will create the
interest, the links and the massive traffic to your site.

Don't ignore this factor or your quest for massive web site
traffic will be extremely difficult, if not impossible to
achieve.

o Why I Like Ken Evoy's SBI
------------------------------


As you probably know, for my 8th site on the web,
I used Ken Evoy's SBI. This Site building system
keeps impressing me the more I use it.

The main reason, Ken and his whole Sitesell company
really stays on top of things. Let me explain, or
rather give you just one example.

Recently, Google got together with search engines
and made Sitemaps a standard way of submitting and
updating your site's content in the different engines.

Needless to say, I don't have to explain how vital
this is for any site. You should have a sitemaps
file or page on your site so all the search enginess
will find and index your content.

Sitemaps is an XML file that you keep on your site
and which you submit to the search engines. As you
place new content/pages on your site, this file notifies
the search engines and your new pages get indexed
quickly.

Your SBI has this Sitemaps included in your hosting
package. Even more on top of things, on April 11th
there is no need to submit your sitemap to the search
engines - you can now just add a simple line in your
robots.txt file and the search engines can use this file
to find your sitemap on your site.

Now SBI has made this adjustment to the robots.txt file
to make sure the search engines find your site. It also
has an Auto-Pinging system in place to ping the engines.

I have four other web hosts, none of them does anything
like this!

This shows why I like SBI - you can concentrate on
adding content to your site and let SBI deal with all
the tech stuff. For the non-tech webmasters out there
- this is a Godsend. It really simplifies the whole
running of a web site or a web business.

You don't need to know the tech stuff in order to run
a site. It really puts the running and building of a
professsional web site into the hands of everyone.

You also get the feeling that no matter what changes
comes along, SBI will have the resources to tackle them.
This peace of mind is an unexpected bonus with owning a
SBI site.

Quite frankly, for a somewhat experienced webmaster
like myself, I thought having a SBI site would be
overkill - I know all this stuff, I am not starting
from scratch. Why would I need all this extra training
and marketing help?

Just the opposite has happened, I have quickly realized
SBI is not just for newbies or those just starting
out. Well seasoned professional marketers can also
benefit from having a SBI site. This sitemaps issue
is just one example.

If you haven't checked out SBI, here's a short
video tour that explains why everyone should be
impressed with SBI.

Much Success,
