How Blogging Regularly Can Increase Your Traffic

Both Maki and James Brausch have blogged about the value of posting regularly. This is a powerful technique for generating (and keeping) blog visitors, and one which I have been planning to put into practice for some time, with less-than-spectacular execution (just compare the date on this post with the previous one.)

If you’d like to see how effective regular [...] Continue Reading…

3 Article Marketing Services I Use

Article marketing is one of the simplest ways to get free backlinks to your website. However, there is a bit more to it than just writing an article and submitting it to hundreds of article directories.

James Brausch says that the only reason the article directories exist is to provide spam content to other spam websites. According to James, the [...] Continue Reading…

James Brausch Special

James Brausch has a 24-hour special on at the moment. This one is really something special. You can get his “core” products, worth over $1000 (not an inflated price – I show his actual selling prices below) and his $1000-a-month website ranking software, for a mere $100.

Blogrush goes live

As you can see in the sidebar, I’ve signed up for John Reese’s BlogRush Blog Syndication Network. Like all the best ideas, it seems really simple and obvious in retrospect.

It’s easy enough to get an RSS feed from, say, Google Blog Search, and have it appear in your sidebar – if you scroll down to the “Online Business [...] Continue Reading…

Do not download this report

…unless you intend to use it.

Michelle Macphearson has released her “Social Media Daily” blueprint, and you can download it for free.

This is one of those free reports that makes you question the value of all the $47, $67 and $97 products you’ve already bought (well, if you haven’t bought them, it must have been me.)

Michelle lists the specific social [...] Continue Reading…

Stupid Is As Stupid Does – How Stupid Do Marketers Think You Are?

“Stupidity” is a movie. It’s a documentary about the “dumbing down” of America – American culture, American society and the evolutionary adaptation which seems to make stupidity a vital factor for survival.

I found the DVD of “Stupidity” in my local DVD store, just after bumping into another movie called ‘Idiocracy”. This one is a feature movie directed by Mike [...] Continue Reading…

Little Green Bars

As any fule kno, PageRank is merely a huge scam perpetrated by the not-evil geniuses at Google. Certainly, Google uses PR to rate the “worthiness” (sponge-worthiness?) of websites – but their internal PR algorithm is a far cry from the little green bar we see on our desktop (if we’re desperate enough to install the Google Bar, thus admitting [...] Continue Reading…

Writing As If You Mean It

Brian Clark posted some of the best tips about writing I’ve read. I enjoy writing, once I get into it, but it’s the “getting into it” that seems to be a problem for me. I’m going to take Brian’s advice and write even when I don’t feel like it – hopefully not everything will be meaningless drivel.

Frustrating Your Customers

Terry Dean has a great 48-hour special on his blog. I would have bought it, but his shopping cart system wouldn’t accept any of the 3 credit cards I tried. He’s using NetOfficeTools, which I think is a private label version of OneShoppingCart – a system that has often given me the same problem in the past.

Basically, the [...] Continue Reading…

Get traffic by joining the Bloglines Train

I love Bloglines. I’ve been using it for a few months now, and I find it quicker and easier than the feed aggregators I’ve experimented with in the past. I’ve also been seeing that other marketers are getting traffic from Bloglines. When Maki at Dosh Dosh mentioned that a Bloglines Train had been started, I leapt aboard.

I love the [...] Continue Reading…
