Is your blog alive but not receiving traffic?
Would like to learn a quick and easy way for getting free traffic and search engine rankings?
Look no further, “Blog Traffic Formula for Dummies” will show you everything you wanted to know about traffic generating, but didn’t have the guts to ask.
But for now let’s talk about getting traffic and why the majority of bloggers get it wrong.
Believe it or not, up to 89% of all the bloggers out there think traffic is nothing but hits; they’re looking at traffic as statistics, and forget the basics – there’s a breathing human being in front of the computer, with probably the same problems, wants and needs as you.
If these bloggers would give real thought on who they really want to attract, and who are they really talking with on their blog, traffic generating won’t seem hard at all.
Hard but truth – for most bloggers traffic generation is rocket-science.
When you master the basics, blog traffic generating turns into a breeze. Do your research, spy the pro bloggers in your niche. Do you think they’re hunting for traffic? Not at all, they make traffic come to them. Stay cool, it’s not a Voodoo thing!
Here is an illustration to make my point across:
Imagine blogger A [the newbie] on the other side of the road… trying to attract the attention of the audience [the cars on the street and folks around] holding a BIG red sign “Visit my blog ->”
Now picture blogger B [the professional] who has an entire army of people and cars advertising on his behalf, all across the road.
89% of bloggers are trying too hard for their traffic; they’re publishing articles and writing blog posts; dabbling with SEO, Twittering, forum marketing, and so on.
You, just like the small percentage of the bloggers out there, should recognize the true power of leveraging – taking advantage of other people’s traffic, rankings and authority.
If you want to get on the boat of pro bloggers, then you have to model them just like a baby would model his parents:
Step #1 – think BIG – keep your focus [answer these questions: who's your ideal client? who are you really talking to?]
Step #2 – run interviews, ad swaps and blog roll exchanges with like-minded bloggers in your niche industry
Step #3 – avoid paying for advertising unless you have your metrics tested and proven [for e.g. you know the exact click and lead value of your visitor]
If you have stats proving you that for each blog visitor, you’re making $1 a month on average, then you probably could afford to pay 50 cents a visitor; you’d reap half a dollar as profit. Wow!

Up to 89% of blog owners think about traffic as hits, and put people all together. They’re looking at traffic as statistics, and forget the basics – at the end of the other line there’s a breathing human being; with probably the same problems, wants and needs as you.
If these bloggers would not look at traffic as hits, and will give thought on who they really want to attract, and who are they really talking to on their blog, traffic generating won’t seem hard anymore.
Yes, for most bloggers traffic generation is rocket-science.
When you master the basics, blogging for traffic will seem a total breeze. Just look around, and notice the pro bloggers out there. Do you think they’re hunting for traffic? Not at all; they’re probably not actively generating traffic. They make traffic work for them.

If you want to get on the boat of pro bloggers, then you have to act like they act and do what they do:
Step #1 – think BIG and keep your focus [know who are you really talking with; who's your ideal client?]
Step #2 – run interviews, ad swaps and blog roll exchanges with like-minded bloggers in your field and industry
Step #3 – never pay for advertising unless you have your metrics tested and proven [for e.g. you know exactly your visitor value - click and lead revenue]
If you know that for each visitor to your blog, you’re making $1 a month on average, then you probably could afford to pay 50 cents per unique visitor; you’d reap half a dollar as profit, right?

Ok folks…It’s that time of year again for one of my favorite events.
The Atlanta German Bier Festival
This Saturday August 28th at Woodruff Park 2pm-7pm
It would be very unfortunate to let this once-a-year event pass you by! Come out with your friends, family, and colleagues to enjoy some German culture! Over 30 different German beers will be poured!
This is an event for the whole family: children and designated drivers are welcome and don’t have to pay an entrance fee. However no one under 21 will be allowed to drink and no pets will be admitted, no exceptions.
Check out this video from last years event:
See you there on Saturday,
Prost!
Just recently I had the opportunity to put my hands on “$365k Blog Traffic Formula”
I will tell you in a minute what this is all about, but first of all…
This is not one of those ebooks which you can find free on the Warrior Forum or on other sites.
If you always wondered what the blogosphere heavy hitters do to attract mountains of cash and generate massive traffic on a daily basis, then look no further.
The best feature in this 70-page printer-friendly PDF book is the actual content – 7 pro bloggers revealed the secret to their success, how they attract free traffic and where do they get it from.
And how this helps you?
Well, if you could just talk to one of these guys for a few minutes then you could learn one or two methods to better monetize your blogs by attracting more quality traffic.
What that means is this – you won’t have to pay these pro bloggers consulting fees, you don’t have to attend their seminars and you don’t even have to live the comfort of your own home.
You can actually download the book immediately and implement these traffic-getting strategies to your own blogs; that’s almost like stealing as the whole package costs only $37, one-time. That’s less than $6 per interview.
I think you will NEVER have the chance to talk with a pro blogger for $6, not even if you only had one question to ask!
What I also like about “$365k Blog Traffic Formula” is the two additional interviews included as complimentary gifts. I think these interviews alone are worth far more than the asking price, and I’m not the only one saying that.
What I don’t like about this product is that it doesn’t include an interview with my other favorite blogger [@CopyBlogger.com], but I guess you can’t please everyone, and hopefully there’ll be an add-on or version two update soon.
See you soon,
P.S. It’s in your best interest to put your hands on “$365k Blog Traffic Formula” today if you want to learn from the best in the field: Chris Garrett, Daniel Scocco, Darren Rowse, Jack Humphrey, Jason Katzenback, Matt Garrett, Yaro Starek
Besides being a good communication tool, blogging is also a great way to make money. If you’re new to blogging and yet want to start quickly, there are several business models you can try for maximum results in a short time. This article discussed the three most popular methods. The first method is get paid to blog. Using this method, you create your blog and add a few good articles to it. Then you signup with paid blogging networks like Pay Per Post or Review Me and see what “opportunities” are available. These networks are filled with advertisers looking for blogger who can help them spread the word, and they are willing to pay. Accept the opportunity, write about it on your blog, and you get paid.
The second method is AdSense WordPress blogs and it requires a little more technical know-how. You need to build a WordPress blog on a specific niche topic, and start writing some good content on it. At the same time, try to get links from other blogs by leaving comment on the blogs or by doing a link exchange with the blogger. The objective is to get more traffic who will click on your AdSense ads and make you money.
The third and most sophisticated method is affiliate marketing with WordPress blogs. Again, you set-up a good WordPress blog but with this model the amount of content you publish is not as important as the “selling quality” of the content. Each post you write must pre-sell the web visitor and convince him to click on your affiliate links. When the visitor makes a purchase online after that, you get credited for the sale and earn commissions.
Ultimately, which model you choose depends on how much time and resources you can dedicate to creating and managing your blogs. Your best bet is to choose a low-investment option at first. When you get the hang of it, you can venture into other blogging models as well.
If you’re serious about making money from your blog, I strongly recommend that you signup for my video tutorials:

I’m taking a lead from one of the best bloggers on the blogosphere,
This a really great post and I wanted to make sure that I shared it with my readers who may not know about Copyblogger.
Here are the first 2 to Secrets of his blogging success:
1. Have a conversation
People don’t like to be lectured or talked down to. They just like to talk. And a blog is really a form of conversation between you and your readers. Even if people don’t always directly communicate with you or leave comments, the tone of your posts should be more or less conversational.
Don’t write like you’re delivering a sermon. Write like you’re chatting with a friend. Keep it easy and informal.
2. Lighten up
You don’t have to tell jokes, but it’s smart to keep things light-hearted. Consider the Men with Pens blog. James always has a lot of fun when writing a post, and her sense of humor makes the information more readable and entertaining.
Your readers are probably having a tough day. Their desk is groaning under the weight of all their projects. The economy is crappy and their life is full of responsibility.
If they read your blog and come away feeling just a little happier, they’ll keep coming back.

This article is for bloggers who want to automatically turn all their keywords into affiliate links, but don’t know how.
Before we dive in, let me address an important question:
Did you ever wanted to edit your old posts and include links to a new affiliate product you’ve subscribed with just to find it takes too much time, effort and energy?
There’s no secret! It happened to me yesterday night while I tried to update 10 posts I published in the past. It took me 27 minutes to edit the first four posts; I couldn’t wait for another half hour to finish everything. Imagine what happens when you have 20, 50 and even 100 posts that needed updating, you’d have probably spent a full day doing just that.
Time is a big concern for me, so I was actively looking for a solution to save me not only time, but also cut the effort, energy and frustration.

This is my unbiased critique of Pawan’s recent release of ‘RSS E-mail 2.0′
RSS E-mail 2.0 is a 1-2-3 tutorial kit including 10 “watch-over-my-shoulder” VIDEO presentations on the hottest blogging topic at the moment:
- RSS e-mail subscription management and feed content monetization.
The best thing I like about is the video tutorial format; instead of reading a book, you can download the files on your computer and watch them at your leisure.
You could actually see how these “techie” stuff is done, right in front of you, so you can quickly try the strategy revealed inside yourself [it's quite easy, just follow the walk-throughs].
You’ll be grasping what you need to do in order to manage, monetize and profit from your RSS feed content within minutes, if not seconds…
And once your blog is setup with the right RSS feed settings, you’ll be making money almost on ‘auto-pilot’.
If you always dreamed to get paid without too much effort, then RSS E-mail 2.0 provides you with the ideal solution, although getting rich overnight will definitely not going to happen.
What I like about this “insider” video kit is the “secrets” exposed. For example… did you know you could get a new autoresponder account with AWEBER for just $1.00 [30-day trial]?
Also, do you really know how to setup your first e-mail autoresponder list in 10 minutes or less?
Or, how to create a new blog broadcast so that your subscribers receive free blog updates in their inbox?
RSS E-mail 2.0 explains this and more, walking you bit-by-bit throughout the entire procedure.
I don’t know about you but my Analytics once showed that 85% of my blog readers exit and never return…
But guess what? By adding a simple “form”, I was able to “capture” them, and now I can proudly say more than half of my readers are “returing” visitors.
Would you like to have 50% of your visitors read your post?
Would you like to direct your readers to any part of your blog on complete “auto-pilot” days, weeks and even months in advance?
Just use the power of ‘RSS Email 2.0′, and experience the lifestyle of an A-list blogger
What I don’t like about this product is the low price offer. A more expensive deal would exclude tire kickers; the right information in the wrong hands might do more damage than good! But I guess that’s just me…
It’s in your best interest to put your hands on RSS E-mail 2.0 today if your want to fight poor blog income.
Check out the full product here[ Learn More!] and download the videos today if the price fits you!
