Free Web Traffic

We have only one blog on our network with Google Page Rank!

Is Page Rank worth it? Only in the long run. Page Rank only shows the importance of your page by the number of quality pages linking back to your page TO THE SAME KEYWORDS! 

This will eventually show you as an authority on the page subject.

Traffic wise? Not much help….. I see Page Rank 0 pages at the top of searches more often than not.

Page Rank is only for one page. A dynamic page showing your posts may get page rank one day then not after a few more posts. This happened to to TrafficBlogNet.com’s   Front page when it was dynamic and showing each new post as it was posted. I was getting  questions why our networks front page did not have page rank. It has briefly but as the keywords changed I lost page rank. I could have kept it by changing keywords on pages linked in that I had control of or kept the same keyword set for all posts.

As I have said before, your keywords/tags are very important and come int play in many different areas. Keeping your tags laser targeted to your posts (describe exactly what is in your post), keeping your posts relevent to one another and linking from sites like Squidoo and Hub Pages to keywords on your page will bring you page rank.

That Is no biggie! I am sure millions do each day!

Mike was saying we all have been lied to about list building. It caught my interest so I read on…..

Well it turns out anyone with any common sense already knew what he was talking about. You all know the saying the money is in the list? Well I kind of figured that this money list would include members willing to buy your products.

Didn’t you?

His point was, most every list builder out there tells you to build your list how? By offering a free gift or product like a report or ebook. True this can build a large list of people that want free stuff. Not much money in that list I am afraid! ………

After still seeing problems with the blogs on the network I did some more house cleaning today, then upgraded our network from the wordpress mu 1.5.2 to the new 2.6. You will find some widgets and theme customization and probably some themes that will not work with the new platform. Life is fun!   

Please send any problem reports to support@trafficblognet.com

I left out FireStats of course. Most all of the other plugins that have been working are still available but probably turned off on your blog. Simply go to "Pugins" on your admin menu (left side in the blue bar on top) and turn on the plugins you want to use.

I have noticed that some of the plugins like Headspace seem to work better

I made the executive decision to completely remove FireStats. I have cleaned my hosting account of all unused or trial scripts trying to stop the intermittent error messages. It seems to only pop up when a script runs but I haven’t been able to single it out.

It can possibly be a total different site because we are on a shared server (sorry folks, I can’t afford $150 + a month so you can have free blogs!) but the bottom line is I can’t and won’t keep chasing my tail.

Don’t worry, Trafficblognet’s Free Web Traffic is here to stay! This network will make the members that pay attention more money than they would ever dream! The networks Alexa traffic rank is climbing  like a rocket! About 300,000 improvement since Aug 1! That should put us in the top 100,000 sites by the end of the month!

Thats a lot of traffic!

And you can grab your share for FREE!

Fire Stats has been back on for 1/2 an hour with no problems!

It may go back down but I have the script author helping so I will make it work.  (If everyone is quiet maybe it will keep working!)

NOT!

This is a blog network! Keep posting! Work the scrips and server!

By the way? I have just documented a few little problems anyone can have when operating their website or blog on their own hosting. I have not had to contact my host yet but if the problem arises again, that is the next step!

Hey Bloggers! We topped 20,000 hits yesterday!

Traffic Blog Net is coming up on its 2 month birthday and we are adding on more than 10,000 hits a day every month so far!

It looks like most everybody is doing their share! Traffic just keeps rising! Members keep posting! I am having trouble staying #1 in the network traffic! I am loving it! The members are surprising me!

We have been testing a couple of things each of you can do to boost your traffic even more and it seems to be working very well for the members that are testing them.  One is Link Referrial . An easy way to get targeted traffic by reviewing other sites, others in turn review yours by searching in a category that they are interested in (the same as you do when reviewing others). These people are also likely to comment on your blog. Comments will help your search engine ranking because the search engines see the comments and believe you must have great site content  to interest people enough to leave comments.

It is also pretty easy (depending on your chosen category) to rank high on Link Referrial  which will put you on the first page of your sites category which will get it seen when others are viewing and reviewing sites to earn themselves credits and rank in their category.

Others we have found to work well are My Blog Log, Blogrush and Entre Card with Entre Card just joining with Sez Who which is a blog comment  manager which they say will make it easy for members viewing your site to leave a comment plus ads credits for each comment! I hope it doesn’t entice spam comments! We will See! Any TBN member can give it a try by signing up through the links on this post. 

Let me know what you think of the programs. Your imput only makes it better for everyone else!

We Are over the 10,000  hits a day mark! Only one day in this first week of July did the stats fall below the 10,000 mark and the highest was almost 15,000 hits!

I am going to be honest and tell you all that I do not like some of the blogs content. Plain ads……. Not what will build the network. You know who you are and what you are doing. I have followed some of the links you put on your blog here to find that blog had been deleted or blocked. I keep adding blocked domains just to see new ones pop up. I have no idea how you can come up with so many IP addy’s. Don’t worry….. they will be deleted as I get time… Before they hurt the traffic flow for the real bloggers .

Enough bitchen and back to traffic…..

If you think you are getting shorted on traffic to your blog… do a little search term research… I guarantee your traffic will increase with only a few of the right search terms. i did a post on search term research the other day. it should get you started in the right direction. Read it here

Happy Blogging!

If you are committed to your online success you will have to learn the basics of what they call SEO (search engine optimization). Google has an easy to understand page on their algorithm

Na! You don’t have to be a pro but knowing the basics of how a person finds your web page from their computer in the quad zillions  of links to sites on the internet will help point a few mill your way.

Most marketers and newbie webmasters have no idea what key words or search terms to use or even want to find out! They put their page up with words and terms they think will work. Well sorry guys ….. you have to do a little research! Its not hard and once you find the tools that work the best for you it won’t take long. Researching search terms should be the first part of researching your new article, and should be done for every article or post. One well researched search term can mean the difference between a few hits and millions of hits.

Now the next most common mistake is…… picking the search terms that bring back the most results. That is like jumping into the middle of the ocean……. it will be prrrreeeeety hard to find you! Try to find terms that bring less than 1 million results back. Next you need to find a webmaster tool to find the amount of searches are done on your selected terms Google and Wordtracker both have ones you can use for free. You will find most Highly searched terms usually have quite a bit of competition,  yes other people know about this! Things change on a daily basis though, so you never know! Search Engine Watch lists here the hottest ways to find out what is being searched. I suggest finding search terms with a few hundred hits a week up (less is ok to if they are very targeted to your article). You don’t need thousands or millions of searches a day. Most terms that get that many are not targeted enough anyway.  Just 3 targeted search Terms can bring in  hundreds or thousands of hits a week! And these hits will be from people looking for your information or products if you chose your terms well. This means more buyers!  Posting Daily on your blog will also make the search engines take notice so if you ad 3 well researched terms on every post……. Traffic will climb in a hurry!

With that said there is one more suggestion I will make. Use a small, new, and growing blog network for your blog. Why? Because getting your site seen by the search engines will take quite  a while even using well researched search terms and posting daily. With a blog network you get the rank of the network domain and traffic rank from all other members. A new network can get your search terms on top of searches within minutes sometimes.

Big established blog networks  like Wordpress and Blogger can work the same way but you have the competition of the bloggers in that network to beat out before your terms get noticed on searches. Still can be done but takes even more work.

Something wrong? Are you are following the path every online income seeker gets lead down.

Don’t blog about internet marketing or making money at home! Blog about something cool! I guarantee I can make you more money faster while you are having fun than you ever will working your butt off promoting your "Great Programs"!

This is a copy of the article I posted in the Web Traffic 101 Google Group. I am hopping this group will work well as a support group for the Traffic Blog Net Community

Your most important and one of the first decisions you must make when
starting a blog is your "niche" or what your blog will be about.

Once this is done, everything else will fall into place.

There are many ways taught on this subject, but I believe people will
do it their own way so here is just a few guidelines that should help
you get great results.

First write down what you like to talk about (what interests you the
most? can be more than one thing)
Yes write it down…..
Next, write down what you know how to do (put down everything and
don’t sell yourself short)
Write these in separate columns.
Now see if any are the same  or close in subject.
Whittle them down till you have a niche or subject selected.
Don’t throw this paper away!

Make a list of key words or search phrases that will most closely
describe your niche or subject.
Now you need a Google account or access to some webmaster or keyword
tools.
Search your selected key phrases to see if people are actually
searching for that phrase. Only a few hundred searches a week will ad
up with 10 or more phrases so don’t rule them out! Try to match the
subject you will be talking about on your blog or article, people
won’t read it if its not what they searched for. Now with your key
word tool, search to see how much competition each search term has.
The lower the better here.

Write down all results and Don’t throw out!
If there seems to be way to much competition, try different search
terms, ask a friend what they would use to search for what you are
doing. Still to much? Start over again. This is where the saved
research comes in, you don’t have to duplicate that.

Here is a more detailed version on SEOmoz Blog

I know ….. this sounds like a lot of work but let me tell you, it
will save you much more in the end plus start you out on a track
toward your success.
I can guarantee you traffic fast if you start out in this manner.  It
will make everything easier for you from this point on.
