For those of you that lost your blogs……. Where did you learn to write?

No I am not one of those people that will allow total crap and spam on my blog network just because it is content or traffic. I have been lax in the splog removal the last few months and was actually hoping the spam protection would hold most spammers off. They gradually work their way back in and I have to delete their blogs and block their domains. ……

Do they really hurt a site like ours? YES!!!

I have mentioned before about the time I have to devote to spam cleaning and our traffic taking dips as the spamming increases. Well this time I was really excited about our traffic rank climbing towards the top 200,000 on the web and was watching the traffic stats closely. Our traffic did take a dip in early September but then held fairly steady through October. Our Alexa Rank has dropped almost 100,000 in the last 3 weeks with actual traffic picking up. Why? I am not totally sure but blame the crapy content posted by the splogs…. I removed most of it last week and traffic rank immediatly started back up! I had a few minutes tonight to check and delete the rest of the spam blogs or splogs.. I will be watching the traffic stats and our rank closely to be sure if this was actually the cause or not.

I always stress the importance of origanal content! This will also help brand you as your web presence grows!

I hope that I am really seeing search engines picking up on the spammers and cheaters allowing the real articles to be seen????

At any rate…. this blog network will stay as splog free as my time allows with top quallity content from all members pushing everyone of your posts to the top of searches all over the web!

Many people think Wordpress blogs are to complecated in the back office or Admin area.

Compared to most …. they are more complicated. But there is a reason!

Wordpress blogs have made getting seen on the internet easy for a lot of people the last few years.  The reason? The many ways to personalize your blog to your needs. A Wordpress blog can be use for just about anything now, including a membership site and never leaves the arena of easily posting lots of great content very easily that already has basic seo built in. The area of seo is ever changing  so there are always tweeks to be made by the pros to get the "edge" but a basic WordPress blog will do you well without doing any more than posting interesting content on a regular basis!

So…… too complicated?

I don't think so! If you can log in and click the add new post button you will do ok! Starting out by just posting is easy, going to Appearance to select a theme that fitts your style is as easy as clicking a few buttons! The hard part is deciding which one you like the best! Just go to one area at a time and browse around, see what each section is for. Don't push yourself and get lost! Learn at your own pace and you will be doing things you never would have thought you could in no time!
 WordPress has tons of instruction and even videos to help you do anything you want with your blog. All one has to do is ask! Traffic  Blog Net Owner Scott Reynolds is happy to work with anyone having a hard time with their WordPress Blog. On TBN, Support can change or repair anything you may think you messed up without any hassle! Some sites will take 3 to 4 emails to get things right. TBN uses Live Help and Skype to keep support fast and more personal.

Sure … you can use the other blog platforms that seem easier….. But will anyone see your posts but you?

I want to help you! But to do that I need you to see my posts. That is why I use WordPress and why I started my own blog network….. I can be seen by you…. then help you be seen with a TBN blog.

Branding yourself or company name has been the subject of lots of internet chatter for a long time now. Most everyone talked about it…. not many had any idea how to do it.

Every page you are on is part of your web presence and should be branded.
Your profile in every community or other site you are a member of. Your blog and website about pages….. anywhere you have some of your information or leave a comment!

It is simple really. Just like a nationally recognized logo, as you spread your information around the web, be sure it tells anyone seeing it who you (or your company) are and why they should pay attention to you. Most people use different info on every page, article, or post, and do not link everything to their main page or profile.
Don't take me wrong here….. you do not want to copy and paste the same thing on every page you have access to either! But like the LOGO, just a small image or statement should be on every page linked back to your main page with like information on it.
To put it a different way…. you are putting the YOU into everything you do, plus linking everything you do together! As you link all your online work together, it builds your WEB PRESENCE! The bigger web presence you have, the easier it is for anyone to find you!

Why are my profiles so important?

If you have been online a while, you have seen the internet marketing GURU's attack the search engines with keywords, SEO, and what next! They Joint Ventured everyone to death! No marketer had a responsive list because everyone had been bombarded the others lists till no one on them listened! They Attacked social networks and spammed them till no one opens their network email or reads others blogs or forum posts……. They Killed blogging with add blogs and spam comments……
The list goes on…..

Despite all of the above…..

If you have read any of my posts anywhere…. I always said: "Write good copy and link correctly".
Not rocket science! Write good informative and interesting copy and simple link it to more of your good informative interesting copy……. even use others information to back up your own…

OK…. you have a good base of information….
Now link your profiles to your information…..
Your "brand" statement linked back to your main blog or website having relevant info on it will do 2 tings for you.
1. Give your blog or site a high ranking back link that in a sense tells the search engines your site is "smart" because one of the big boys is linking to it.
2. I have found that my profiles have been placing high in searches for my name or business name. This gives you top search engine rank for those names!

I have had a page 1 Google placing with 3 different profiles using Scott Reynolds as a search term. (most did not use Scott Reynolds as my user ID!) I think my top one now is Twitter somewhere on page 2. This took no extra work from me…. just plain ol telling the truth on my profile, a few links to more of my info, and staying active in the communities.

Caution!!!!!!

You by no means have to run out and join every community you find! Do your research….. join ones you are interested in….. each one has its own "niche". The ones you like will be easier for you to stay active on. Besides, your brand should be in that same category.

The "hot" communities should always be considered for their shear traffic and member numbers. The rank of the hotties will usually be higher also (makes for better links). The rest…… pick them because you like what they are about….. not because that same person invited you to join yet another one!

Your social network and site profiles are just part of your web presence but not a part that should be taken lightly!

Can new customers find their way to your online business?

It is time to Gang UP!

It has been an exciting few weeks! The blog network seemed like it could not be stopped! Our Alexa rank kept steadily climbing ……. until last week! Down we started! Now back down to 278,235 and I see no reason why. Actual traffic and signups are still climbing…..

Must be the Holiday push from every website out there is pushing us back even though we are still getting about the same traffic. The war heats up from hear on in!

Lets keep posting bloggers! Please not something so bad that I have to delete your blog! We can win the traffic battle! That will mean your posts on top of searches! Keep up the great work! You WILL see the results!

Watch a short slide show of the pics I took an a short trip through Central Vermont this weekend

Find more photos like this on MegaTraffic.tk

It is  worth a trip up I 89 through Central Vermont this week! Make sure to have extra time to go off track a little to! I will hopefully be heading for the hills this week for some even more spectacular pics. These pics only seem half as good as being there.

Most people do not post in a blog because they are undecided on what they should write.

Most people do not make the decision that  may have changed their life for the better, they are not sure if it is the right one…..

I usually hang on to what I am doing way to long even when it is not working, instead of making the decision to move on.

Would I have made a difference if I had voiced my ideas instead of choosing to listen?

How can other people make me angry when I know I made the decision that put me there?

When there is sickness or death, do I cry or stay strong for well and living?

Why is everyone so eager to pass the blame?

If everyone was not looking for the easy way, would there be greed?

Is it my parents fault?

What do I have to give to be in love?

Is wealth counted in money or life? Can it be counted?

Is it right to know hundreds all over the world but not my neighbor?

Are life’s questions ever really answered?

I found someone else that says what I have been trying to get across to marketers for a long time! Here is how Internet marketing center newsletter puts it…..

"Content is your trump card

So, if you and your competitors are all playing the SEO game with your cards face up on the table, how can you ever possibly get the edge on them?

I asked Geoff, and here’s what he said: "Content! You need more content, better content, and fresher content — that’s how you win with the search engines."

All of the optimization tricks we teach you — such as putting your keywords in your title tags, in your content, in your image alt tags — these are common SEO ploys that Google can easily identify. And even though these are all "white hat" strategies that won’t get you penalized, Google doesn’t really want to award website owners with a great ranking just because they know how to rig their sites to rank well with the search engines.

What Google does want is to reward website owners who offer lots of valuable content to their visitors — and the tech wizards at the world’s most powerful search engine are constantly fine-tuning the algorithms to focus more on the depth and quality of a site’s content.

So the way to make sure you give the search engines — and your visitors! — what they’re looking for is to offers lots of free valuable information.

… And the easiest way to do this is to add a blog to your site and update it at least three times a week with information that will benefit your visitors. (And if you can include your top keywords in your blog content, even better!)"

See! All the tricks in the book will get you no where without the content to back them up!

When I first started playing online, I got suckered by some MLM’s and other products. I worked my butt off and basically made a fool of myself by following the instructions the "programs" gave me. They must know what they were doing! They were making money…. Right?

They sure were! Off every sucker just like me!

I was smart though, I am not in the poor house with a backroom full of "wonderful products". Sure I have some inventory, but I still use it, even sell some once in a while and am not still paying monthly for more. 

I now understand a lot more about how things work on the internet.  I have also grown from a shy in the background working person to a leader and CEO of my own online business. Working with other marketers and webmasters, building a network to improve information so you know the correct ways of marketing and do not make a fool of yourself like I did, plus web traffic systems and working on ways to help members benefit from the great MLM products without the MLM stress.

Still a man of few words, but do manage to run online meetings and training sessions with interactive online conferencing software.

Starting like everyone…. with "0" website visitors or traffic. I now own this seo blog network with an Alexa Traffic Rank in the top 255,000 of all websites in the world.That adds up to tens of thousands of hits a day. I am also connected to websites bringing in over a half a million hits daily.

My business, Here Is Yours LLC is earning enough to support itself while constantly growing.

I have tens of thousands of contacts on several targeted and non-targeted lists.

The Internet has brought me a long way baby!

Thank you, friends old and new!

I have built up a steady income with my online work. Not a huge Income by any means, but growing faster as my web presence grows.

If you spend all of your time in chat rooms just chatting, you probably aren’t making lots of money. You could be building your network and lists which will work for you in the long run though.

Spending day in and day out surfing the TE’s may get your web site seen but how much are you getting for your time?

Blogging on the free networks takes a lot of work to get seen, but will benefit your wallet in the long run if you are blogging with a plan.

I have owned a domain for a few years now, trying to build traffic and income from it. Over the years since then, I have purchased several other domain names to set up tools to help my members and readers actually make some cash online. With these domains and  a lot of work I have squeezed a regular income out of affiliate products, membership fees, and advertising. Nothing to write home to mother about……

Well, I came across a website the other day that made me feel better. It is called Value My Site. It gathers all the traffic and link info from a few sources and figures what your domain is worth.  You can click the (blue) link above to see for yourself, but as of today, this website is worth $11,022.00!  My other 2 main domains are worth another $15,000.00, so I feel better about all the work I have been putting in!

Can I get that much if I was to sell? Maybe! I have created some pretty steady traffic streams! I have this week off from my mechanics job so I have been cramming a little. We shall see how that works in the next few weeks!

So don’t let the internet get you down! If you have been posting and getting links back to your pages you just might surprise yourself someday soon!
