Traffic Tactics

April 12, 2007 By Leave a Comment

Listened to a call tonight about Traffic Tactics with Jim Morris and Scot Standke of Keyword Avalanche and their guest Howie Schwartz, who they say is a “walking traffic generating machine.”

It was well worth the time spent listening. First it was pretty cool that I understood almost everything they were talking about. Second I learned that I am pretty much on track, at least in what I intend to do. Howie confirmed that it takes a good amount of time to build to a high and consistent visitor level. Being consistent with your article marketing and link building is vital. If you are consistent, it still may not come for 3 months. Very interesting.

Sounds like using ppc is the best way to get fast traffic and to test sites for conversions, etc., but not a good idea for adsense sites. That makes sense to me.

What this all means for me is more consistent article submissions and more link building. I have the knowledge and the tools. Taking the consistent action is the key. It always comes down to this. There is no magic answer. I have a lot of work to do. Realistically, there is no way to do it all myself. Outsourcing is the way to go.

Finally, I’m having problems with copyscape.com today. The program couldn’t find my webpage online, and it definitely was online. I wonder what that’s about? Is anyone else aware of any problems?

I’ll call it a night. Thanks for visiting.

Article Marketing Leads to The Secret

April 11, 2007 By Leave a Comment

Today’s focus is keyword research and article writing. It’s time to start cranking out some articles to promote my websites, and to ensure I have a free pass this month with InfoGoRound. I’ve learned some techniques to make the writing process easier and I’m trying those out. I really enjoy the research part.

Also, the videos are up on the Blogini 2.0 sales page today. It’s time to make my decision about which level of membership I opt for. Do I want the Blogini folks to create niche blogs for me and grow them overtime? Or, do I want to create my own sites and just take advantage of all the extra benefits? We’ll see.

“The Secret” made it’s way onto the Boston Legal TV episode last night. I just roared when we saw the culmination of Denny Crane’s efforts to attract Raquel Welch into his life. Very, very funny.

Just prior to watching the show, I had listened to an interview with Rhonda Byrne, the creator of “The Secret.” If you’re not familiar with this phenomenon, it is based on the law of attraction and is the latest rage in the news. The DVD came first and then the book, which has become a best seller. Rhonda absolutely exudes joy. She is such a delight to listen to.

That’s all for now. Have a good one.

Knowledge, Belief and Action

April 9, 2007 By Leave a Comment

Feels like months since I’ve written anything here. Not good! Several days at the end of last week were pretty tied up completing my tax return. I’ll tell you that was an eye opener. It is so easy to spend money on Internet marketing products! And I spent a lot of it!

What I can clearly see is I have a fabulous foundation of tools to use in building and promoting websites. I feel more committed now than ever to focus my attention on niche websites, article marketing, and affiliate promotions. I have everything I need and it feels so clear now.

I checked my adsense earnings tonight. I don’t do that very often. But I was pleased to see the progress. The sites that are bringing in the most money are the adsense sites I built as part of the coaching program I am in. This is really encouraging. There is so much more I could be doing to promote those sites, like submitting more articles and building more backlinks.

What strikes me about these sites in contrast to the sites I previously constructed, is that these ones are very keyword specific and I have submitted articles to promote them. I guess I really like the results I’m seeing. The potential is pretty exciting.

It has occurred to me a number of times in the past few days, that my success is all in my hands. I have nothing to stand in my way. I can make this happen if I really want to. I do have everything I need. I have a system to follow. I have access to 2 really excellent forums with very experienced marketers, where I can ask questions and trust I’ll get honest direction.

I get to make this happen. It’s not about luck at all. It’s about knowledge, and belief, and action. I feel very empowered and very ready.

Have a good one and thanks for visiting.

Blogini 2.0 Launch Emerging

April 4, 2007 By 1 Comment

Well, the new Blogini 2.0 sales page is up. Sort of anyway. I have to say I’m amazed at what a calamity this launch has turned into. If I didn’t know better, I would question how the Blogini folks could be competent in building a linking network when they can’t seem to get a sales page up. I admit the pace has driven me crazy. I am anxious to see the videos that will show me what all the changes look like. Patience, patience…

I took some feedback to heart the other day. A fellow marketer said it seemed like I was on a rollercoaster. Hm.

I do recognize how true this is. Focus still eludes me. Every opportunity is enticing. I’ve seen references all over the place lately that to be successful we need to get good at one thing. Once that one thing is really well established then we can try something else.

So, while I’d love to move into marketing with eBay and adwords and amazon.com, I feel the most comfortable with building niche websites and monetizing with adsense. What I really need to focus on is exactly that, defined as building adsense sites and promoting these with articles. I’ll also plan to promote with other link building activities also. I’ll include some affiliate promotions on the sites too. That’s it. That’s what I do.

I’ve been re-reading Tim Gorman’s stuff on the Keyword Avalanche forum again. Tim is a member of the KA staff. He’s the army officer that has designed the article blitz process. He’s extremely successful. His is the prototype system for article marketing. I’ve been checking out a bunch of his websites and pretty much know exactly how to proceed. I’ll just do a little more keyword research ahead of time than he does. Cool.

As far as I know, the $1 trial is still available at the KA forum. It’s not too late, but may be soon. Here’s the access info if you want it: KA $1 Trial Membership — user: kashe — pw: vault.

That’s all for now. Have a good one!

Blogini 2.0 is Really Coming!

April 3, 2007 By Leave a Comment

A developer’s camtasia troubles delayed the Blogini 2.0 prelaunch for just a bit longer. Everything is in place and ready to go except the videos that were in this person’s care.

So, the very official prelaunch is now tomorrow, Wednesday, April 4 at 4:00pm Eastern time. It is really worth your while to be there to check it out.

With Blogini 2.0, there are 3 potential blogging platforms depending on your membership level. Your job is to decide on your niche(s), pick your keywords, customize your blog(s), add content, and then leave the rest to Ken Fox and his team. Behind the scenes they will build an organic network of backlinks based on your keywords. You can let go of this. Pretty cool since the link building part is often the hardest when creating a site. Blogini 2.0 does it for you!

You’ll have the opportunity to learn about video marketing, article marketing, and affiliate marketing, through an article exchange, affiliate helpzone website and a video site. The program is just loaded and I can’t do it justice here. So do check it out tomorrow afternoon.

Membership levels start as low as $27 a month, and even better, there’s a lifetime buy out that will be attractive to many people. I want to emphasize too, that Ken Fox is a great guy. He’s very responsive to his members and goes out of his way to make sure everyone gets a ton of value.

I’ll be at www.Blogini.com tomorrow at 4:00pm EST. I hope to see you there!
