Website linking, must do's

If you google the search terms you will get pages of services that offer link exchanges. So finding help is not hard. When you find a service and sign up it is easy to get websites to link to yours. So what is the must do?

Simple easy and will not take long to explain.

The must do is linking with a website that is relevant to yours. If you have a website that is about making money online, and you link to a website about fitness that is not relevant. You will have your link on a website and you may get traffic from that link, but it is not relevant. So this is a no go with search engines. In order for a Traffic Ranking website to rank you higher you will need to have your link on a relevant website, one that is about making money online.

A real good way of getting qaulty one way links on another relevant website is article writing. You write an article about making money online and you write an about the author footer and put in your websites link. When using other peoples articles the person using the article has to use the about the article footer with the article. So now they have an article about making money online, with your info and website url on their website or blog.

The key to getting qaulity ranking website linking is getting relevant websites to put your link on their website. That simple..

Do You Want Quality Traffic?

Yes Quality not Quantity.

What good is it if you get "100,000 visitors" if not one of them buys from you? What good is 1,000,000 visitors if not one reads your articles or clicks your adsense?

So you want to buy 100,000 visitors for $69. The sales pitch promised real visitors, real clicks, and targeted traffic. If you want quantity instead of quality go ahead and pay for the "targeted real visitors."

The problem with such companies selling you 100,000 visitors for $69 is you do not know where the traffic is coming from. Also the companies are not specific about the traffic as well.

Here is a question asked to a service that provides such claims and the answer:

Q. Where do these visitors come from, and why will they view my web page?

A. We use over 20 different sources to provide this traffic to your website. This traffic is sent to you using re-directed traffic from dormant domains, pop unders, pop overs, exit traffic, manual surf traffic, mainstream traffic etc. By using many sources and ways to send visitors to our customers websites, we are able to drive this traffic at lightening speeds, unlike the majority of other traffic suppliers who take between 30 and 120 days.

The problem with that is they say 20 different sources. Can you be more precise? First redirected traffic from dormant domains is not a qaulity traffic, and not always targeted. Manual surf traffic, people waiting for a timer so they can click to the next site. You can read more about traffic exchanges. Pop unders, pop overs, and exit traffic, (also known as pop ups) click and your website is gone. Oh not to mention annoying and usually blocked by internet browsers.

The visitors or traffic you are getting is not traffic. Yes sure you may get 100,000 people to your site, but are they really targeted. The next question are they really reading your articles, are even interested in your website. "Out on a Limb" not by a long shot.

Then there is the theory of many internet gurus about this, whom I trust. There are companies that load your url in software that fakes the clicks. Then this software adds a fake isp or harvested isp to that click. Thus leading you to believe you had a real visitor.

The problem with the internet and all the software and technology is who can you trust. If there was a real company out there that offered what they really said, there would be more rich internet users walking around.

If you want real quality traffic beat the seo game and get your site listed in the search engines. You can also pay per click with well known search engines and get real targeted visitors, people who asked for your product or service. Many of the search engines offer this service at a cheap price, such as Google, yahoo, Msn, bidvertise, etc etc.

So work for your traffic if you take the easy way out you are only going to go broke.

The truth about Traffic Exchanges: My study...

I can not say the truth about traffic exchange scams. Traffic exchanges are not scams you do get traffic to your website or affiliate url. Wait before you go googling traffic exchanges please read on. What I can say is The Truth about Traffic Exchanges, my study and my results.

First what is a Traffic Exchange?

A traffic exchange is a type of website which provides a service for webmasters in exchange for traffic. It is similar to the autosurf concept with the exception that traffic exchanges usually use a manual rotation. (wikipedia)

What is the concept of traffic exchanges?

A traffic exchange website receives website submissions from webmasters that join traffic exchange networks. The person who submitted the website then has to browse other member sites on the exchange program to earn credits, which enable their sites to be viewed by other members through the surf system. This increases the number of visitors to all the sites involved.

My Study and My results:

I joined a few traffic exchange networks. Ok I joined about 20 or more. Each one I signed up for and entered all my information and what websites or urls I wanted people to see. Then I recieved a surf link...

Surfing (in traffic exchanges) when surfing, a website appears on your browser, in the top or bottom of the browser there is a timer. You have to stay on the website until the timer counts backwards to zero. When it reaches zero you click on a verification, usually pictures or numbers, then you get a credit for viewing that page. Once you click a new website appears, then when the timer counts down to zero you click a verification symbol and you get a credit. The process goes on as long as you allow it.

Most traffic exchages have a hit or surf ratio, meaning how many sites you look at equals how many times your site is shown. Most of traffic exchanges have a 2:1 ration, some have a 3:1 ratio. Meaning- you look at 2 sites you earn 1 site view, or if you look at 3 sites you earn 1 site view. If you pay a monthly fee or a one time fee you can get a lower ratio, 1:1 I have even seen 1:2. If you look at 1 site you get 2 site views.

Now that you know the basis of how surf sites or traffic exchanges work let me tell you the truth. As I stated my study and results.

First off I never made one sale with my products and I tested many. I never got one signup to my affiliate programs and I tested many. I did a traffic test and I did get the amount of traffic that I was suppose to get. This was done by a professional hit tracker. How many of those hits to my website were click through hits? zero. That means once someone landed on my website they just stayed on it. They never clicked links with in my website.

So what the fellow traffic exchanger did was watch the timer for the traffic exchange program. When the timer went to zero he or she clicked to verify and went to the next website. So yes I got traffic but all I got was qauntity not qaulity.

There are programs that suggest you download Mozilla. This allows you to have many tabs open in your web browser. This allows the proffessional traffic exchanger or traffic surfer to surf many programs at a time. I was able to load all my traffic exchange program at one time. Then as I clicked each program going through the tabs, I was able to start over again by the time I was at the end of each tab. This allowed me to surf over 30 programs, get my credits, and not once look at the website on my browser. If there was audio on a website, thank goodness I had a speaker volume control, I selected mute.

So the only person or people benefitting with traffic exchange or traffic surfing programs are the ones who own it. They benefit by getting upgrades, people paying for better surf ratios. They get the lazy surfers who pay 5 bucks for 500 surf credits or 10 bucks for a thousand, or what ever they are charging. Then they also have your name and email address (the list) and by law unless you opt out, they can send you emails adveritsing there other affiliate programs. This making them money when some one buys a product.

So my results with traffic exchanges or traffic surfing programs:

-No sign ups for affiliate programs
-No sales of affiliate products
-Surfing for hours and not looking at one website (watching a timer)
-getting emails from owners advertising their affilitae products
-carpal tunnel from all the clicking
-an over used mouse button
-and now every time I am talking to someone or looking at something I am looking for the timer so I can click next... :)

The power of Blog Marketing - why Advertisers should use Snapbomb

"Blogging" has been around way before the internet was thought about. It was however in the form of personal diaries, cork boards, and monthly mailings. Then when the internet came along, away with the cork boards. Companies sent out news letters through email to each of their employees. Then organizations cut back on their monthly mailings by collecting email addresses and sending out group emails. Then something happened, spam. So now is gone the days of email marketing, because of spam many companies have lost thousands and thousands of potential income. This is because of peoples abuse and sending unsolicited emails. Thus leading to spam blocking software, and the new spam laws.

The diary has evolved electronically, people with something to say now blog it. Blogs were first invented so people can get stuff off there chest but allow other people to read it. They rant and rave about anything they want and put it in a blog.

Now blogs have taken on another use. The companies that sent out emails or newsletters now blog it. This allowing the company to post once and get out there message. Organizations do the same, they post once about a special event, charity, or anything they feel there community should know.

Blogging has now become a source for personal diaries, company messages, special organizations events, and product reveiws. Now blogs get the attention that they deserve. Search engines basically fight over blogs. If you blog the chances are you got indexed by search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, Msn, and the list can go on.

What if you could get some of those bloggers to write a blog or "review" about you or your product. Your chances of being indexed are even more, more readers, more people seeing your product. What does that mean to you, more possible sales. More blogs equals more people seeing your product equals more sales. You get the math. The problem is getting all these bloggers to write about your product. You would have to email each blogger and ask them if they would even think about it. This would take forever to reach thousands of bloggers. Then that would not be a guarantee you would get a review and a post.
