  1. More Website Traffic Through Diversification

As you know, there are any number of ways to get more website traffic. While it can be helpful to talk about some of the specific ways to do this, it can be difficult to decide where to spend your time. There are only so many hours in the day, so you want to make your website promotion efforts count.

Where do I spend my time (and money)? If you read all the emails and sales letters from the gurus and wanna be gurus, everyone is trying to sell you the answer to exactly that question. If you fall into the hype trap, you’ll buy everything they sell. I mean, many of the ideas they have sound like good ones, right? What to do?

Want to get more website traffic? Easy! Build more links. A common question I see asked over and over, however, is specifically how to get more links to a site. There are tons of answers to this and hundreds of ways to link build.

Some link building methods take lots of time, some create mediocre links, and others have just the right combination of quality link building for the time invested.

In this post, we’ll cover just a few of the leveraged link building techniques that I’ve used. When I say leveraged link building, these are not necessarily the best links to acquire, but they’re either fairly easy to get, or they maximize time you’re spending anyway. Add them to your arsenal as you see fit.

I’d like to talk a bit about posting comments on dofollow blogs as a backlink strategy, as well as how to find them versus nofollow blogs. Typically, I don’t do much of the "commenting on blogs for fun and backlinks" type of thing, as I usually prefer to repurpose my content for article marketing and Web 2.0 properties. But, I know that a lot of people have questions about it, and it does offer a way to get some good backlinks fairly quickly.

In case you’re not aware, nofollow links have ‘rel="nofollow"’ in the link code and do not pass Google PageRank. They are therefore seen to have less value than dofollow links for SEO purposes. The term dofollow was coined to indicate a non-nofollow link (in other words, the absence of the nofollow in the link code).

If you’ve been using a Swicki from Eurekster, you may have noticed that they’ve been down recently. Are they dead? Speculation by some is that they may not come back up. I know that a number of webmasters were using them and some had claimed that it was working well for them and reported big traffic stats.

To be honest, I never really figured out the Swicki thing. I had been using one on one of my sites, and I noticed that I only saw traffic from it in my referrer stats when I had it on my site. Was it my site that was generating the traffic and then sending it to Eurekster, which was then sending it back to me? If so, then there was actually no additional traffic boost from it since my site was generating the traffic in the first place.

I’ve been increasing image traffic to one of my sites in a dramatic way, largely by using an LOL builder and then simply linking to those images, adding the right alt tags and related keywords and links, and bingo, lots of traffic. The LOL builder I’ve been using, primarily, is icanhascheezburger.

1.  Bad Habit #1 - Failure to Launch

You know, this is the guy who says he’s an article marketer, but really isn’t. He’s going to write articles but never quite gets around to it. He comes up fragments of ideas with little snippets of one or two sentences, but never gets enough together to publish a full article. Is this you?

Here’s a simple Internet business model (and a formula for success) that I urge you to seriously consider. This post came about because I noticed that Alok Jain had written in his blog that he had recently re-read Robert Kiyosaki’s "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and was going to change his business model to accommodate some of the concepts.

The main purpose of article marketing is SEO, plain and simple. No matter what anybody tries to tell you, the objective of submitting articles is to get backlinks to your site. OK, so it has more value than that, but its primary purpose is SEO.
