o How To Get Massive Traffic From Google




As you probably know by now, there are places on the web
that will send you massive amounts of traffic. Sometimes
this traffic comes in a period of a day or two and is very
temporary. Any webmaster who has been Slashdotted knows
exactly what this means: you get a listing on the homepage
of Slashdot.com and you immediately start receiving
thousands of visitors to your site. It can be a bit
scary.

I have never been Slashdotted but I have had massive amounts
of traffic hitting my sites in a day or two. I first experienced
this years ago when Addme.com featured one of my article
in their ezine and I received thousands of visitors instead
of the normal hundreds... of course, everything is relative,
if you have a very popular site thousands of visitors in one
day is not massive traffic.

I have received many more days when I get massive amounts
of traffic. Mainly from my articles being featured in sites
like SiteProNews, AllTheWeb...

Articles have been my main source of massive traffic in the
short term and over the long term. They can be your best
source of massive traffic on the web.

Articles has also been a source of massive traffic for me
over the long haul... a steady source of traffic that adds
up very quickly. Ezinearticles.com has been my #1 source
of traffic. My articles on that site alone is now over a
150,000 pageviews.

When you get temporary traffic - make sure you try and capture
your visitor's contact information for further follow-up. Turn
that temporary visitor into a patron of your site by offering
a free ecourse or an email series. This has been very effective
for me.

Right now, some of best places for massive traffic are the
social Bookmarking Sites which are all the rage. Get featured
in any of these sites and you will see massive traffic.

Here's a list of some of the best sites for massive traffic:

o Massive Traffic: Where To Get It?

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


Make sure you have bookmark buttons on your site
so visitors can bookmark your site in many of these
Social Bookmarking sites. Simple but it works.

....

One of the sites listed above is Squidoo. I have
been somewhat obsessed with it lately. Bare with me!

But from a marketing viewpoint there's nothing that
compares to it on the web. It is a great chance for
someone with very little resources to learn how online
marketing is really done.

Invest your time here and you won't regret it.

Most free sites are a waste of your time. Squidoo
is different. Read my article to find out why many
marketers are taking advantage of Squidoo not only
for creating another income stream but solely for
SEO reasons...

How I Made 78 Cents On Squidoo!
Copyright © 2007 Titus Hoskins


Don't laugh, this is not as insignificant as you might
think at first glance. Not by a long shot.

Actually, it is quite significant.

Here's why: making any amount of money on the web from
a free site is quite rare.

At least this has been my experience. Others will no doubt
disagree and argue otherwise, but I have found very few free
sites worth pursuing. Google's Blogspot using Adsense is the
only other exception that readily comes to mind.

Not that I haven't tried looking for these free sites in
the past. When I first started exploring the web around 10
years ago I tried out a lot of foolish 'make-money' sites
like getting paid to read emails, paid-to-surf... etc.

Everybody Loves A Freebie!

They tell me people actually make money at these kinds of
programs but I could never get them to work for me. Probably
lack of patience on my part or not enough will-power to keep
working these sites. Most are a waste of time because you're
simply building someone else's VRE and content. They own this
domain and content - not you.

I never really started earning any significant online income
until I created my own domain and web site. I now have 8 sites,
not counting the blogs that I run. You must create your own
virtual real estate. Your own content. Your own domains. Your
own sites. It is the correct way to proceed unless...

Unless... you just don't have the funds or resources to
create and build your own sites. The next best thing
is using a Web 2.0 program like Squidoo.

What Is Squidoo?

Squidoo is a free easy-to-use service or site which lets
anyone post or write a lens (web page) on any subject
that they have expertise in.

Squidoo lets you create your own lenses and pick highly
valuable keyword phrases in your Squidoo URL. They are
still some very worthwhile URLS to be claimed and more
being born as new products come online.

Seasoned marketers will know to place popular (well searched
for) keywords or keyword phrases in their Squidoo URL - then
have these keywords in the title of your lens and sprinkled
throughout the page. Don't overdo it, but optimize your lens
for your chosen keywords. Savvy marketers also know using a
long tail keyword phrase often results in more targeted
traffic which converts better.


How Is Squidoo Different?

Squidoo is a quality site. It offers highly focused content
or pages which often rise to the top of the search engine
rankings. The Squidoo site has a PR7 (Page Rank) in Google.
According to Alexa, Squidoo is ranked in the top 1000 sites
on the whole web.

Why Is Squidoo Effective?

The main reason Squidoo is effective stems from its vibrant
online community constantly creating diverse quality content
and links. In the process, this community has made Squidoo
a search engine haven. As with Wikipedia, Squidoo can be seen
as the ultimate authority site. Besides, it is fun and easy
to use because you have all your valuable content and links
on one convenient page. It is also community rated so all the
cream rises to the top!


How You Can Earn By Using Squidoo?

Every page on Squidoo carries Google AdSense ads which
generate funds for the site and you. Also you can display
affiliate links from Amazon, eBay and CafePress... Squidoo
is more like a co-op where you share in the revenues generated
from your lenses. There is also a charity element where you
can donate your earnings to a whole host of charity groups.

Keep in mind, Squidoo is completely scalable. As with any
marketing venture, once you know how to create that first
one dollar profit, all you have to do is scale it up. If you
make one dollar with one page, create a hundred pages
and you will make...


Why You Should Use Squidoo?

From a purely SEO angle, Squidoo is worth your time,
even if you're a professional marketer making 2 or 300
dollars a day from your sites. Squidoo lets you quickly
tap into the whole Web 2.0 social media tagging system.
It will help you improve your rankings for your other
sites if you closely tie-in your links and content.

This is not keyword spamming. You must create unique
original content on Squidoo in order to generate the
interest in your lenses. In a community monitored site
like Squidoo, quality content does rise to the top.
Done properly, Squidoo will easily let you tap into
the whole Web 2.0 everyone is talking about.

In addition, Squidoo is an excellent hands-on training
field for anyone wishing to learn more about Internet
Marketing. It is the perfect place to study affiliate
marketing and you can discover how SEO really works
without even spending a dime.

More importantly, Squidoo is just plain easy and a whole
lot of fun. Besides, if you give it a try, chances are
almost 100% certain that you will make more than 78 cents!

o How To Get Massive Traffic From Google
..........................................

My most effective marketing tip on how to get
traffic from Google:

Perhaps the best source of traffic on the web is
Google. No news there but the key to getting massive
amounts of traffic from Google is to go wide and long.
Instead of targeting high in demand popular keywords
where the competition may be too stiff for your site
to compete, rather you create a whole multitude of
lesser known long tail keyword phrases to bring in the
traffic.

Long Tail keyword phrases usually have less searches
each month but they are often more targeted and coverts
better - you get more sales. Choosing the exact brand name
in your keyword is one example of long tail marketing.
i.e. someone typing in "Alienware Aurora m7700"
probably knows exactly what they're looking for.

This traffic takes longer to build but because very
few webmasters bother with these long tail 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 1000's of small long tail
keyword dribbles.

...





Much Success,


Titus Hoskins

P.S. I have found one of the best ways to succeed
on the web is by providing helpful information
to others. No reason why you can't do the same!

--------------------------------------




When it's all said and done, the key to being a success on
the web is traffic.

Traffic, it is all about getting visitors to your site or
sites.

Getting traffic and lots of it, is one of first major hurdles
for most webmasters. Today's letter is all about getting more
traffic.

Keep in mind, you just don't want traffic, you want targeted
traffic to your site or sites. These visitors are searching
for your information or products. The best sources for targeted
traffic are the search engines.

And the major search engine is Google. Conquering Google is
the key to getting most of the search engine traffic on the
web. MSN and Yahoo! are important but they won't deliver the
goods. At least not in the numbers that Google can.

I read my log stats on my sites religiously and Google accounts
for over half of my search engine traffic. And I have gotten
first place listings in ALL THREE engines for some long-tail
keywords. Google just delivers the goods - plain and simple.

You have to Optimize your site for Google. You have to
understand how Google works.

You have to understand how Google ranks the billions of
webpages it has in its index. You have to understand Google's
Ranking Factors. What it uses to rank all those webpages.
These ranking factors are very important and you should
know them.

This article points out the major ranking factors and
how you can use them to get traffic from Google.

How To Get Traffic From Google
(By Using Google's Algorithm!)


Recently Rand Fishkin of Seomoz.org brought together
37 of the world's Top SEO experts to tackle Google's
Algorithm, the complex formula and methods Google uses
to rank web pages. This ranking formula is extremely
important to webmasters because finding which factors
Google uses to rank their index is often considered
the Holy Grail of site optimization.

Google's ranking factors affect how and where you are
listed in their search engine results or SERPs. Since
obtaining top positions for your targeted keywords often
spells success for your site, knowing Google's ranking
factors can be very beneficial.

Every experienced webmaster will know Google is the
main supplier of search engine traffic on the web, getting
listed on the first page or anywhere in the top 10 positions
for popular keywords will result in plenty of free quality
targeted traffic.

Briefly listed below are some of the main ranking factors
you should be optimizing your web pages for in your
marketing. The majority of these ranking factors will
be very familiar to most webmasters who take full
advantage of any and every SEO tactic which will
give their site an edge over their competition.

Here are some of the main ranking factors to consider:


1. Keywords In Your Title And On Your Page

Place your keyword or keyword phrase in the title of your
page and also in your copy. Many webmasters use variations
of their keywords on this page and also include it in the
H1 headline.

2. Keywords In Your URL

Keep your page on topic and place your keyword in the URL.
Use your keyword in the H2, H3... headlines. Place it in the
description and meta tags, place it in bold/strong tags, but
keep your content readable and useful. Be aware of the text
surrounding your keywords, search engines will become more
semantic in the coming years so context is important.

3. Create High Quality Relevant Content

Have high quality relevant content on your pages. Your
content should be related to the topic of your site and
updated regularly depending on the nature of your site.

4. Internal Onsite Linking

Internal linking is important to your overall ranking. Make
sure your linking structure is easy for the spiders to crawl.
Most suggest a simple hierarchy with links no more than three
clicks away from your home/index page.

Creating traffic modes or clusters of related links within
a section on your site has proven very effective for many
webmasters, including this one. For example, creating a
simple online guide on a subject related to your site's topic
can prove very beneficial. Keep all the links connected and
closely related in subject matter and don't forget to have
occasional external 'anchor keyworded' links coming to these
internal links on your site instead of to your homepage.
Deep build your links.

5. Only Linking To High Quality Related Sites

Don't forget to link to high quality PR related sites. Linking
to high quality sites shows the search engines your site is very
useful to your visitors. Build relationships within communities
on the topic of your site. Be extremely careful not to link to
bad neighborhoods, link farms and spam sites... when in doubt,
don't link out!

Unless your site has been around for years and is well
established and trusted by Google, this factor will have an
adverse effect on your site's overall ranking. Linking only
to high quality content sites will give your site an edge
over your competition.

6. Global Linking Popularity

One of the major ranking factors is the Global Linking
Popularity of your site. You should try to build plenty
of inbound links from quality sites. One simple and
effective way to do this is through writing articles
and submitting them to the online article directories.
Only related sites will pick up and display your articles
with your anchor text links back to your site. These are
often ONE-WAY-LINKS.

But don't just write articles to get links, write quality
content that will help the reader first and the links will
come naturally. Also remember an article is an extremely
good way of pre-selling your products and gaining trust
with your potential customers.

7. Anchor Text Is Very Important

Anchor text is an important factor your must not forget
to use. Perhaps more importantly these inbound links should
be related or relevant to your site's topic, which will
play an important role in your rankings. Don't ignore the
text surrounding your links and use different anchor text
links to avoid keyword spamming.

Keep in mind, as search engines become more semantic, the
whole text of your article will probably be considered your
anchor text, thus making articles even more important to your
rankings.

8. Number And Quality Of Your Inbound Links

Your inbound links should also come from related high Global
Link Popular sites. The more links your have from these popular
related sites the higher rankings you will get. Many SEO experts
suggest you should have a steady stream of new sites (inbound
links) added each month to keep your rankings growing. These
links will age and increase your rankings after 4 or 5 months.
Both quality and quantity is important.

9. Reliable Server And Service

Like any business, Google is only serving up a product (SERPs)
to its customers, this service must be continuous and available
at all times. Made sure you have a good reliable server because
any extended downtime when your site is inaccessible to the Bots
may be detrimental to your rankings. If it is down for over 48
hours, you could be dropped from the index. Ouch!

10. Duplicate Content Is A NO NO!

Make certain you don't place duplicate content on your site.
This may affect your rankings and get your pages thrown into
the supplemental index. Be careful not to use duplicate title
or mega tags on your pages as this will lower and disburse your
internal page rankings, resulting in poor optimization.

Your overall SEO strategy should be to provide valuable relevant
content and links for your visitors and for the search engines.
Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, be extremely careful who
you link out to from your site. Avoid spam sites, link farms
or selling links. Although it is a bit outdated, using the
Google Toolbar will still give you a general overview of a
site's PR or Page Rank.

These are some of the most common and important ranking
factors Google uses to rank and display their search engine
results. Optimizing your site or keywords for these factors
can prove very beneficial and rewarding.

There are many more factors so you should use the Seomoz.org
link in the resource box below to get all the useful details. For
any novice or experienced webmaster it makes for a fascinating
read and is extremely helpful in tackling Google's complex ranking
system or algorithm. Conquer it and an endless supply of free
organic traffic is yours for the taking.

Have You Ever Squidooed?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx


The Internet is constantly changing. You must change with it.

You have probably been hearing a lot about Web 2.0 or the social
media sites like Squidoo or MySpace... these are community
based sites where the visitors create the content.

Tapping into the whole Web 2.0 doesn't have to be complicated
- setting up lenses (your own pages) on Squidoo.com is simple
and painless. It doesn't cost anything and if you do it right,
you will get a lot of traffic.

One of best courses I found on Squidoo is by Bob Jenkins.
It's called Squidoo Secrets and you can get all the information
you need to start taking advantage of this excellent source
of Web 2.0 traffic.

Learning all the 'ins and outs' of Squidoo is worth your
while... you must take advantage of these social traffic
hubs or lose out.

------------------------------------
Another Web 2.0 Traffic Source
------------------------------------


Of course one of the best ways to tap into the whole
new social/community/media system is by using blogs.

I would recommend WordPress because its simple and
powerful. It is also a free system. I have it on all
my websites.

Actually, I created one of my sites (www.marketingtoolguide.com)
entirely within the WordPress structure - although it is
a complete resource site and not necessary just a blog!

The main reason for this is Tags: in the new Web 2.0 Internet
everything - and I do mean everything - will be tagged and
keyworded like there's no tomorrow. WordPress has this whole
tagging system built-in its programming. Targeting your main
keywords couldn't be easier.

Put blogs and RSS feeds on your site or sites if you don't
already have them in place - you should!

Recently, I came across another interesting resource
dealing with WordPress that you should also know about.

It is called Rating Dominator - and it is a Free Plug-in
for WordPress.

Basically, this Plug-in sets up your blog or site to
allow visitors to rate products or services on your
webpages. All the major retail sites like Amazon have
these in place, where customers can give their reviews
and ratings of different products.

Visitor created content is the wave of future, let your
visitors create your content and your traffic. Those sites
that can accomplish this feat will really prosper and grow.
The more interaction you get, the more the traffic will
flow.

Here's the link to put a rating system on your site
using a WordPress Plug-in. You do have know or be
familiar with WordPress to be able to set this up.
But it comes with a video that walk you thru the
set-up procedure. If you're a non-tech person
like myself you will find this video very helpful
and convenient to have.

Here's the link:

Rating Dominator



Be aware this comes with an OTO (one time offer) but
just ignore this if you're not interested and
click thru to the download.

If you found this newsletter helpful, maybe others
will also find it helpful. Just point them to this
blog. I have found one of the best ways to succeed
on the web is by providing helpful information
to others. No reason why you can't do the same!
