Free Web Traffic

The FireStats seems to be working fine so far (1 day). Traffic jumped back up. Its funny how a small script problem will drop traffic stats.  Of course we had a drop when I shut down a couple hundred spam blogs or splogs. It has been climbing slowly since. Slower now because I have put the splogs IP’s in the banned list. Firestats works great for finding the spam IP’s I noticed tonight, it looks like some of the banned IP’s are still trying to signup. Bots aren’t very smart I guess 

I will have to get tougher on the spammers as we grow, but right now they are bringing in some pretty targeted traffic. I’m sorry to say they are better at selecting tags than most.    !!! Everyone must remember the tags or search terms are how people find your copy through search engines so they are very important! They also have to be in the copy! I will work on some more posts on tag research and try to set up a live workshop if I get enough interest.

(Check out the Polls in the sidebar to the right and vote YES in the new Tags Training one if you want a live tags training.)

I have noticed blogs getting their traffic solely from their tags may not have jumped to the top as quick as others using social marketing sites and TE’s but are gradually rising to the top! The tags once researched and added with good copy (some cases not good copy is working) backing them up, your traffic will grow without any more work (for those tags) and you can move on to adding more copy and tags which will bring more traffic!

With social sites and TE’s you work for every hit and when you stop……….. the traffic runs out!

Is learning about and researching tags still sound like to much work?

Would you rather do the work once and have it keep working for you?

Or work every day for a certain number of hits and have to work harder or spend more time to get more not as targeted hits?

WordPress is one of the best ways to get your words seen right now and this free blog network is already doing it for a few.  Why not use it while it is working? Yes it will change and something else will be the only way to go. Thats the way it works! And I will be there hopefully offering it to you free….. But right now, This is it! Jump in and make your mark!
