Blogging For Traffic Tip #13 - Be An Online Bastardo And Stir Up Trouble

Another great way to get traffic is to be controversial. Go around telling people you are the smartest man in the world, or the best at something.

Bag other people out and start fights with other blogs and their owners. You have to do something different to stand out.

Go to someone elses blog and comment in their comment section and rip into their post and tell them they are all wrong and point them to a post on your blog that shows their readers a better way of doing something.

Don’t say anything slanderish, but make outrageous claims and back them up as best you can like the guy above did in his contest site.

Every Internet Marketer is focused like a hungry shark on increasing their page rank and improving their Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and, if you are a serious marketer, you might be, too. Your attention will be sharply focused on "backlinks," their individual quality and how those backlinks appear to Google's army of robot spiders when compared in their current algorithm.

Let's start with "backlinks." They are links on other websites directed back to your website. Both the popularity and the importance of your website is gauged by how many other website owners consider a link to your site worthwhile. All of this is done in the name of Search Engine Optimization...or getting Google and other search engines to love your website.

But, don't run off gathering up as many links as you can from other marketers. Google is more interested in "quality" backlinks to your website than any others.

Those quality backlinks would be backlinks from websites with similar content to yours. It's all a game of relevancy, from Google's point of view, and has a lot to do with the success of your website and marketing efforts.

A search engine calculates the keyword relevancy for a site and that calculation is strictly based on the percentage of related content found at either end of the link.

For example, if your content is all about writing and selling ebooks, and the links from other sites have nothing to do with writing and selling ebooks, they will not be considered important to your relevancy and you will lose page rank or be totally ignored by the spiders.

There's several ways to accomplish this balancing act with the search engines and to stay out of SEO trouble while you're doing it. More than one seedy webmaster has been banished to Google Hell for trying to manipulate links to get a higher ranking, which is why Google tightened the criteria in the first place.

The most important part of the ad is the headline. It's going to be where people make the decision on whether or not they're going to open the ad to read more...

Google 3-minute headline creator to get a free tool that creates headlines for you. I didn't put the link here because all you have to do, really, is think of what grabs your attention and use it as a headline. Always be as original as you can...remember that!! Being original and good will make you stand out from the rest of the crowd, and that's good in the IM filed where 80% of people fail)

Squeeze pages- this part is a little technical and most people will skip it. If you're going to use the free tool to make squeeze pages, just scroll down to the Autoresponder section.

Easy to do also...You can find free squeeze page generators online or do your own with minimal computer skills. You can copy most squeeze pages in about 40 seconds by clicking on View----Source, and copying the HTML code into a text file. Save the text file as ALL FILE TYPES, and name the file whatever you want, and add .HTML after the name. Now you have just created a webpage, click on it to view it, and also post it on your website to see how it looks.

The next thing you should do is write your introduction. Click on the “edit” button on the right, and make your introduction title the same as your lens title above.

The introduction is the most important part of your lens.

Why is that? A lot of people are not going to read a long list of articles on your product. Although some are looking for more information, which you can provide below your introduction.

When they are looking at a lens, they have searched for a keyword like “weight loss diet pills” on Google and are looking for information that is precise, helpful, and independent. The shorter you can keep the length, in general the better.

Many successful lenses in terms of traffic are only 2 paragraphs long, with a few other modules and interesting information. If you disagree with me, take a look at the top lenses in traffic and you'll see what I'm talking about.

There are also a number of lenses with more information. It is more often that these lenses have proven successful, and the owners are trying to make the lens more of a resource for repeat viewers.

The idea is that you need to save time, and the best way to save time is to start off with just enough content to make the lens unique. Remember, not all of your lenses are going to be getting large amounts of traffic.
