Inbound links can do amazing things for your website. Most people just think of links in terms of traffic, but other considerations may be even more valuable. That is of inbound links distinguishing you as an expert, helping your search engine results, putting your product in front of visitor to create sales and generating sales.

When it comes to traffic, not all websites can be blessed with top search engine results. That means traffic needs to be driven from links on other sites. The higher the amount of inbound links your site has, the more doorways to your products there are. So get all the links you can from directories (such as the AuthorityDirectory.com), link partners, forums and resource boxes in articles. These resources can drive traffic to your door.

I just finished creating a tutorial teaching FrontPage users how to insert a picture. Not all that difficult. Right? Well, yeah. You can click on the little picture icon and insert your picture. FrontPage let’s you size the picture. But here’s the rub: If you simply resize the picture using FrontPage - or any other editor, for that matter - you are still saving the picture that you originally inserted. “What’s wrong with that?” You say. “That’s what I want to do.” You say.

Before you start doing things to rank well in the search engines, you need to determine what your “money words” are. In other words, what keywords do people who buy from you type into the search engines. If you are selling auto insurance, are people typing auto insurance or car insurance? You can determine what your money keywords are by creating and using a Google Adwords account to quickly test keywords for profitability.

So many new affiliates start out thinking they just have a selection of affiliate promotional tools and a free affiliate web page and that’s the end of the promoting by adding a few banners here and there and hey presto lets cash in the money…

The difference between a successful blog and one that fades into nothing is in the number of readers visiting each day. If your goal is to create a large source of income from your site then attracting more visitors is key. This means that you need to increase both your new or unique traffic as well as regular readers.


Create a Loyal Readership


RSS Feed

This is one of the most basic pieces of the blog puzzle which creates a stable group of visitors reading each of your daily postings. An RSS feed notifies your readers that you have created another article and made a new posting on your blog. The RSS feed will also help create a stream of income as more visitors mean a higher page ranking and better search placement.


Social Networks and Engines

There are a number of social bookmarks and other networks available for blogs to utilize. Using a small piece of code on your website, each of your posts can be bookmarked, shared and voted on by readers around the world. Some blogger favorites are Digg, Technorati and Del.icio.us.


Friends and Family

When starting any new business you should first have the support of your family and friends! Let them know that you’ve started a blog and get them to visit on a regular basis. While this will increase your readership immediately, they can also support you by book marking your postings, referring their friends and talking about it with colleagues.


Increase New and Unique Traffic


Search Engine Optimization

The old saying, “it’s easier to keep a customer than find a new one” truly fits on the web. Attracting new visitors will be through a combination of regular postings, great content and search engine optimization techniques. When creating a new article, think about who will be visiting the site and what they will be searching for. Decide upon your main keywords and use them throughout the body of the post.


Niche Marketing

This technique requires a little additional work but it will pay off with a huge amount of traffic. By looking for optimized search terms with low competition you can direct a huge amount of free traffic to your site. The best part about niche marketing is that everything you do costs nothing and the traffic you receive will be hungry for what you’re offering!


Final Thoughts

Each of these tactics takes some time to implement on your site. The important thing to remember is that any source of residual income can only run on auto-pilot after the preparation work is done. By using these techniques within your blog strategy, you will find that your traffic will increase significantly and your increased income will follow!

Search engine optimization is a method to evaluate and assess your website and it assists the search engines to read, and comprehend it. It is not all about rephrasing or altering the look of the website. It is a procedure where slight changes are made so that the content is more noticeable and the search engines can view and interpret the website easily. SEO cannot be termed as spamming as it is a method under which the search engines are assisted so that in return they can provide you assistance in the coming time.

It´s true that Danny Sullivan is indirectly responsible for the formation of SEMpdx (Portland´s SEM Organization). At the 2006 SES Seattle Conference, in a conversation with Anvil Media´s Kent Lewis, Danny inadvertently (for he´s too nice a guy to do something like this deliberately) slighted our Rose City. When Kent relayed Danny´s comments to Scott Orth, the desire to form a local SEM organization that would be the envy of much bigger marketplaces was born. One year later, I can state unequivocally that being one of the founding board members has been an extremely valuable, enriching experience.

I’ve been to quite a few seminars and workshops and i can see that a lot of people are attending it. Ever wondering out of so many people attending, who will actually make use of the knowledge gained to good use and create a good income for themselves?

Your answer is as good as mine, few of them will do anything about it. Well, we got to admit it, this is human nature as human like to procrastinate and think of problem rather than solutions. A lot of them i met always gave me this excuse, that is they don’t have any products to sell or don’t know where to find them.
