Want more free traffic?

One thing that every website, every online business, each and every internet marketer could use is more traffic, right? Without traffic to you site – targeted visitors who come full of eager anticipation about what you have to say – your online business quickly ceases to exist, it’s as simple as that

Traffic is the key to your success now and it will be the key to your success even more so in the future.
More visitors equals more sales, more ad clicks, more recognition, more list subscribers and ultimately more money. The product you are selling or promoting could be complete crap and yet with enough traffic, you’ll make money but the best product in the world won’t make you a dime without visitors.

Not to put to put too much emphasis on it, but you need traffic and the more of it there is, the better
So, how about if I told you that there is a great source of traffic that has sent me thousands of targeted visitors that I guarantee you’ve never heard of?

One that is totally unique as far as I know and yet it’s maybe the best ‘under the radar’ traffic source there is?
You wouldn’t believe me, right?

Okay, judge for yourself.

Check out:

This is a site (and that’s not an affiliate link BTW) where over 100,000 registered journalists from all over the world post in excess of 200 jobs every day for which they need sources!

That’s right, they need people like me you and me that they can quote, and when they do, you’ll get a mass of new visitors.

Take a look because all cost free targeted traffic is good traffic, right?

Build one way links from .edu sites, courtesy of Google

Further to the last post where I explained how Yahoo! can help you find both .edu and .gov sites that will link to you, try this one with Google. Run a standard search using variations of this string as your search parameters (make sure the spacing is correct):-

site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment” -”you must be logged in” -”comment posting closed” -”comment closed” “<your keyword term>”

Do this and Google returns all of the .edu university and college blogs to which you can submit your comments to generate a link. It is probably a good idea to ping his/her blog after your comment is added to the post to make certain it gets picked up too.

Of course, you must ensure that the links are followable before posting a helpful and thoughtful comment. Install either the Google toolbar or the excellent (and free) Search Status Firefox add-on to simplify this latter task.

Build one way links with .edu and .gov sites the easy way…

Almost every site that you see nowadays is talking about links and especially about how to generate them.  But, did you know that some links seem to have more value attached to them than others?

More specifically, were you aware that links from .edu and .gov site seem to have more importance attached to them than links from ‘ordinary’ .com, .net and .org sites.

As with most things to do with Google, then only people who really know how true this notion s are the Google folks themselves, but there is certainly a logic to the idea.

After all, it is possible to manipulate links from ordinary domain names, but far harder to do so with links from educational and government establishments, and you would naturally assume that those links should carry more weight too.

But, how do you find sites like these, .edu and .gov domain sites that are willing to link to sites in your niche?  Here’s how…
Run a standard Yahoo! search using your main niche keyword.

This will produce the top ten sites in your niche, so you then take the first domain name and type it into Yahoo! in exactly this format:

‘linkdomain:competingsite.com inurl:.edu’

And, hey presto, you’ll have a list of .edu sites that are carrying links to your competitor.

Now all you need to do is follow up and request a link for your own site from the same .edu establishment. Alternatively, check the site to see whether you are able to ‘register’, in which case you can probably create the link yourself from within your profile.

And of course, exactly the same works with .gov sites as well, so give it a shot and let me know how you get on by leaving a comment.

Debt Relief with PLR…!

I’ve just written a brand new debt relief related e-book plus a 3000 word special report which I’m giving away for almost nothing, especially when you consider that there will only ever be 20 copies sold in total.  With almost half of them gone already, you need to get your skates on if debt relief is your market and you want a very special deal that comes with full Private Label Rights…

That’s right, you can do whatever you want with this baby. Put your own name on it and claim it as your own work, break up up inro articles or specila reports, basically, whatever you like.

But you’ll need to be quick…click this link now
