A strategy of Blog traffic: quality vs quantity

When it comes to blogs, there are different attitudes about the amount of traffic and the quality of traffic. At different stages of development of a Web site, we tend to focus on one or the other, but when we start a new blog, we want above all to get traffic to it. Even if you are a celebrity famous, will not have your new Web site to get anywhere without some effort.

If you write quality content, then the traffic comes. Discover the great position of John Burnside to get a better understanding of the traffic of the site in General.

I am a day trader who has forayed in travel blogs, and I was able to by generating $ 1000 revenue off the coast of my travel blog in six months. My approach was to attempt to become an authority in line before you start focusing on something else. Without a legitimate blog, it is unnecessary to try to do something else in your niche. Thus to be a legitimate source of online information should be your first priority. This will help you attract organic Google faster - searches with or without focusing on the referencing.

You want to give your site a springboard. When you have a group of friends, you don't let your car or come immediately to your home. You want to see a few times and have a conversation. Finally, the wire of time, the new people earn your trust and you become friends.

The Internet is very similar to a new friend to join a group. Google will not start automatically send people your way if you just started to write on a topic. Who are you to Google? Similarly, the President Obama not to run for President before he ran for the Senate. You don't get a job paid unless you have extensive experience in the field or at school.

With emphasis on the first amount, you can build an audience and spread the word that you are an authority in your niche. Google will start having an overview of your business, once you have an audience of a certain size. Once Google you and is able to prove that you have an audience at the side of quality content, your site will be able to grow traffic organically. Without any traffic, Google and other large entities online will not take you seriously. How do you want that out the word if anyone comes to your site?

There are several ways to build traffic to your site. The best way to immediately get new visitors is focusing on StumbleUpon and Reddit. What do these two sites is provide a wave of new visitors to your site to provide exposure and begin to legitimize your site in the eyes of Google and Alexa.

However, the quality of the visitors coming from StumbleUpon and Reddit is absolutely atrocious. Bounce rates are more than 80% and page views are normally an or less. This means that of all the people who come to your blog from StumbleUpon and Reddit, over 80% of traffic immediately leaves once that they see your site and watch a page. These figures are from the stats of seven travel bloggers that I personally have more than 15 000 unique visitors on their sites.

Why would that anyone visiting your site if they will only see an average of a page and leave? The answer is because the traffic really overall account. I personally tested levels of traffic are in direct correlation with the waves in traffic two sites. Once I get a surge of visitors, hits of my keywords immediately increased my score Alexa has dropped and I instantly won hits on Google for the specific position.

The reason why you want to start that this technique is by getting a surge in traffic, the main sites, and your visitors, you will see as a legitimate blog much faster. In addition, any advertiser does not like you more traffic? Not only these sites provide you benefits in the short and long term, it is also easy start on both sites and does not take a lot of your time. StumbleUpon will generally continue to send traffic to all your messages, while Reddit generally give you a wave which stops after a few days.

Once you have a consistent flow of traffic, you can start by focusing quality. With all these visitors on your site, thanks to your attention to the amount of traffic you could attract the eyes of someone important. You can get direct traffic the next day and perhaps another thrust of another person.

Once you have a consistent flow of traffic, you can then start to focus on the quality of traffic. If you have good content, time, quality of traffic will build on itself as you become an authority in your niche.

Acceleration of the process is time-consuming, especially when you have to go out and find this quality traffic. He thinks this way: If you are looking for quality while you will have to provide the quality. Engage with others in your niche by thinking out of the box. If you focus on travel, for example, and that you live in Buenos Aires, then consider searching for expat communities in Buenos Aires. My post of the tourist attractions of the Argentina didn't get any traffic to what I posted it in a forum. Now he is sitting on the second page of Google for this term. I get random visitors on my blog all the time for people who have included links in forums related to travel and trade of the day.

In summary, once you have established your authority on the Internet with the two companies such as Google and Alexa and visitors to your site, you can focus exclusively on the quality of traffic. It is a love and hate relationship for me because I hate receiving low traffic quality on my blog, but in the end, it is useful because it helps with Google ranking. Once you combine other factors such as link-building, you can create a powerful combination of three-punch of tactics to reach new heights with your blog.

All what you Need to Know About educating and sale

In the February 2011 issue Inc. Magazine, Gary Vaynerchuck was interviewed about how he runs his many companies under the auspices of VaynerMedia.

Talk about his show, wine library TV, he was quoted as saying:

"Some people think I'm a bonimenteur, but with the show, my intention is not to sell our wine." It is to educate people about wine. "There is a big difference."

Are educate you or you sell? Because if all you're doing is selling…

"Transform you your site into QVC."

and - in the spirit of the Vaynerchuk - lose you.

"Engagement is the key to real connections with people who, with which you do business."

The sale is unilateral. Educate is maintenance. It builds confidence so that people recognize you as an authority and know that they can assist you for more information of quality.

It is more an interaction. You give content free away useful information which makes them back for more information.

You now have a course of dialogue. The drive, drive, fan etc., begins to recognize your "brand". They trust what you say.

"People want to be heard and feel like their opinions matter.".

Maybe they show up to "buy" your unique personality. But, even if they are not necessarily you love, they enjoy the benefits of all the this info, free, juicy and useful advice, an action that they can carry. In other words, you fill a need.

"Too many people believe this individual thing is not to scale, but giving a shit has a huge return performance.

Your share is a win/win, and in the long term, you will have to their attention in the long term, not just for dubious last fad. With time and hard work, naturally people will be sent to your door - and your business.

"Once everyone understands the value of the commitment, everyone will be doing.".

So, don't be a one - hit wonder. Educate, build trust, develop a dialog box and make a brand built to last.

Blogging 10 lessons of Dalai Lama

Recently, the Dalai Lama came to visit me on the Sunshine Coast, in Australia. Well, not me specifically but thousands of people who drove miles, stacked in the bus and waited under bright skies to hear.

This is not what I expected. I joined Toastmasters to learn the art of public speaking, but I do not think that the Dalai Lama must. His speech was not polished, but his message came clear, and it is obvious why he is built like a massif, even without the help of social media.

Here is a man who did not need to use blogs to build his business, earn more money or establish itself as an expert in his field. It already is the spiritual leader of the world.

It is not yet write a blog, but the Dalai Lama still has much to learn bloggers.

The flags of prayers on hanging scene a little low and the Dalai Lama peeped behind them, instantly the laughter of the audience. Then he was concerned that Aboriginal dancers, dressed in only a small red cloth, might feel cold.

There is already enough information around dry style, tutorial. People learn and wish to return to a blog that is pleasant to read and bloggers should make the best use of this.

There were a sitting comfortable sofa of scene for the Dalai Lama to recline on when he spoke. It is an old man, but he said that we wouldn't see him it is, so he chose to come to the front of the stage under the hot sun where we could see better.

Blogging is all about relationships, interact with your readers and be present for them on your blog and their favorite social media outposts

The Dalai Lama was not sure of the Protocol. He did not know if he wanted to speak first, or if someone was going to appear. It is just a normal human being as we try his best.

We have all errors - mistakes slip into blog posts or links are forgotten. Just recognize them, fix what you can and do your best.

Be happy and show this happiness. More people will want to hang out with you. Finally, he worked for the Dalai Lama, which is spreading happiness everywhere he goes.

You like to hang around with and work with happy people? Can assure you that your blog and gravatar pictures makes you look friendly and open.

Don't use photos where you look cool or sexy... you can come as bored or grumpy instead. Unless you are really cool and sexy, of course.

You can shave their head as the Dalai Lama, wearing thick glasses and deep on your face wrinkles and sport weapons. It is not really important. As long as you are you, people will notice only good things - your smile, your twinkling eyes and your pits.

There is much talk of authenticity in blogs and social media and you make your blog stand out better than anything else.

The Dalai Lama did not need to read his speech notes. His message is in his heart and soul. We know that he really believes.

Bloggers must really believe their message and be passionate about it. You must practically blog what you love because you will be blogging about it in the long term. Passion shines through your blog and in your writing, videos or podcasts.

The Dalai Lama has not felt the need to rush his words. He was sometimes reflect and think a little of what he meant.

Do not rush your blog or attempting to follow other bloggers. I post only once per week own blogs (I have two) because I wrote the other and I love to spend time making sure that all my messages are as good as possible.

Blogging is a long-term investment, so we must be patient to see the results.

The Dalai Lama had a friend at hand who whispered in his ear when the right words come to mind.

Bloggers need help with the bits that they is difficult. For some it could be blog design, others need help with the creation of content, others with Facebook.

Accept that you cannot do everything, to do the bits that you love and pleasure better bits you can and ask for help for other things.

Thousands of people come to hear the Dalai Lama to speak because his message of peace and love is clear.

Bloggers will have to work that is their message before they can fully share with their readers.

The Dalai Lama used the relevant texts mentioning the Queenslanders who have demonstrated confidence, friendship and cooperation mutually voluntarily helping flood.

Bloggers must seize the imagination of their readers and give people that they can relate to specific examples. Story is the best way to get your readers to read and keep the hanging until the end.

Popularity of the Dalai Lama is resonate with you as a blogger? What else can learn to bloggers and other leaders of inspiration?

It is only a matter of time before I started to do a lot of traffic on my blog, but deeply in me, I knew that something was wrong with my blog.

I tried everything I could find out what was wrong, but I just could not understand. Since I couldn't figure what was wrong with my blog on my own, I hired an expert to the criticism of my blog.

Having read the critique of the expert from my blog, I saw exactly what I was doing wrong and even if I implemented only a few tips provided by this expert I've seen my blog begin to grow significantly.

How many times have you heard this word?

I'm sure you've heard once more that you can remember, and that is exactly why so many of us do not see how it is important.

In my case, I loved the internet marketing and make nests money online even if I have more expertise when it comes to writing and guest blogging and even if I knew that I would well in these niches that I was still trying to teach people internet marketing and making money online. The result is that my blog looked like thousands of other blogs in the niche to make money online and the effect of my message has been neutralized.

I don't want to say that it is wrong to blog in the internet marketing or niche make money online, and I'm not trying to convey a message through that any niche is bad in all. What I'm trying to say, is that you need to know what makes you different from others. What differentiates you from thousands of other blogs in your niche? What makes you different and unique? What makes readers to read your blog on the other?

It might be a simple thing that makes stand out you, it may be more than one, but regardless of how minute it is, you must have a point of difference for your blog.

I know that you can expect more, or a particular secret that has not yet revealed, but there is no secret, and is the only way to triple the rate of growth of your blog stand out.

Dedication; The third key to success

His dedication, the key to success, third means

"to be fully committed to something, as in ideal, political cause, or for a personal purpose."

You must be dedicated to the business you are trying to build or the goals you're trying to accomplish. Without their dedication, few others will be importance.

Many of us have many interests and we would like to do something with all these things, but to become a dedicated interest and operate as a business model, you will not see the success that you want.

I've struggled with this often enough. Spread too thin and too dispersed leads to little success. You can have some success in several areas, but are only enough? You want to create a big success?

When you build a presence online, you want to go with a dedicated hosting company. You want your site on a dedicated server. These are very important for the proper functioning of your Web site. Your success and your customers deserve the same dedication from you.

Dedication is when you're tired, but do the work in any event, because other people are more important than yourself; your business is important to you.

In the original article, I said that

being dedicated is merely a habit that you create to stay focused on your goal. You cannot be devoted to something that you feel only carried out.

You can be dedicated to one or more aspects of your business. You can be dedicated to just make money and that can provide you with some success, but unless you're dedicated to a deeper level, it is likely that you will not be successful.

His dedication to helping others, to put your customers first, is an important success factor. Without customers, you will have to be dedicated to business.

Dedicating yourself to help others should be a large part of your "why" for wanting to have a business.

I said also that if you are working on a project which seems you not appropri­ate to focus on and put off working on it, it is likely that you are not dedicated to it. But this is really only a partial truth. If you are dedicated to the people and give them the best possible information, which will help you focus on your goals and your projects. However, if the project does not have significant value to your customers and then it will be much more difficult to see through completion.

Help of dedication that stay focused you on your goal, your "why" and your clients on a priority basis. Without this, you are only working by yourself. You work for something bigger, something of value up to. You need this key to success.

Have you had trouble being dedicated to your business? Share your story with us.

Online shoppers are attracted and repulsed manual compatibility

The Watchdog Consumer Federation of America and Internet SiteJabber.com are both saying in these times where consumers are researching online purchases too quickly, daily deal sites are luring in before they have a chance to think about buying what they want to do.

SiteJabber.com co-founder Jeremy Gin will even say that among the involved online marketing specialists are more misleading. These tactical misleading do not work in the long term. Traditional values such as loyalty and customer satisfaction of mark fall to second place behind the buck quickly and some of these merchants will suffer accordingly. Merchants offering deals to buy the group need to be sure that the workings of the offer are easily understood and displayed in a conspicuous place.

An overwhelming majority (95%) of the 237 high-level marketers who responded to a recent survey has understood that the public perception of their brands in social media was important. It was therefore not surprising that 74% of these merchants have a way of social media marketing in place.

The people who made the BlackBerry manual shocked industry by saying the new Tablet from RIM would work with Android apps at the time when summer rolled around. Now, it appears as if this type of compatibility will be postponed until the autumn.  While smartphone sales leads Android, it seems that the iPhone is the device that you want in the air.
