Written by David Husnian Search engine optimization,commonly called SEO,is an immensely powerful way to get traffic to your Web properties. Wikipedia defines SEO as: “Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the “natural”or un-paid (“organic”or “algorithmic”) search results.” In short,SEO is how you get your Web site high up in the search engine results;getting onto page one and,more importantly,the top 2-3 positions which will get you a lot more traffic. One aspect of SEO is the actual pages of a Web site;this is called on-page SEO. There are certainly rules that Google and the other search engines follow when they look at your pages. Essentially they have a scoring system somewhat like the Olympic figure skating or gymnastics scoring in that they look for certain things on your pages and give you “points”for having certain things on your page and the better job you do on those things the higher your score will be. On-page SEO is an important aspect of SEO although it isn’t the most important factor. It’s more like “style points”that will give you extra credit to put you above your competition. It’s also the easiest part of SEO,something that is in your control and doesn’t take much time and effort. Let’s look at the different aspects of SEO one by one and see what to do and what not to do… Click here to read more on Optimizing Your On Page SEO Popularity:1% [?]  Written by David Husnian  Get More Traffic Using Great Content In the last 2 installments — How to Use Content to Get More Traffic,Part 1 and How to Use Content to Get More Traffic,Part 2 —we looked at ways to use content to get more traffic to your Web properties.

Popularity:1% [?] Written by David Husnian  Celebrity is a Powerful Way to Get People Coming to You In my last blog post,“How to Use Content to Get More Traffic,Part 1”,we looked at the first way to get traffic by using content. In this post, we’ll look at some additional ways you can use content to attract traffic to your Web properties. You know the power of celebrity and being viewed as an expert or authority. In fact, there is no better way to get traffic,protect yourself from Google,and make easy sales than to be viewed as an authority or celebrity. To do that you need to be providing amazing and helpful content in a variety of places where it will get seen. This,in turn,will build your reputation,provide you with opportunities and,most important of all,get you traffic; The more you build your authority status the more traffic you’ll get to your site. We can use that fact to be able to generate targeted content that will attract and get traffic;and not only will you get traffic but you’ll get higher quality traffic. Here’s how to do that… Click here to read more on How to Use Content to Get More Traffic,Part 2 Popularity:1% [?] Written by David Husnian  Using Content to Get More Traffic Everyone has heard that “content is king”and that’s very true. It’s what attracts site visitors,it’s what attracts search engines,it’s what attracts advertisers,and it’s what attracts potential partners. And,it drives traffic in an amazing number of ways. When you think of creating content to get more traffic you need to think past your blog,for example: - How about being a guest blogger on someone else’s blog
- How about creating resell rights or giveaway digital books
- How about creating reprintable articles (for directories at eZineArticles and content sharing sites like Squidoo and HubPages)
- How about creating Kindle books
- How about creating PDF files and presentations for places like Scribd
- How about writing articles for other people’s newsletters
- I’ll let you keep going with the list
And the truth is… There’s no way around the fact that you must create content and there are 3 (very obvious) ways to do that:(1) create the content yourself;(2) get someone else to create it;and (3) borrow the content. And, don’t think your situation is different,content is necessary no matter what you’re selling,no matter what your market niche is. I won’t get into the creation of content here as it’s a huge topic in itself and will just focus on how the content can get you traffic. And the content has to be good and provide value,it can’t be just spending 5-10 minutes with Google and Notepad or an article writing tool and create a 250-350 (essentially worthless) piece of content. It may provide you with some small benefit,if you’re lucky,but your time is better spent taking that 20-30 minutes and creating a good 500-750 word article. In today’s online world,one of these quality articles is worth 10 or 20 or even 100 times more than one of the small,junk articles. So you could spend 100 or 1,000 minutes creating a bunch of junk content that won’t help much and certainly will turn off anyone who actually reads it… Or,you could spend 30 minutes and get something you can be proud of and will actually provide you with real lasting value. There are a lot of ways to use content to get more traffic to your Web site so this will be the first in a series. Let’s get started and look at the first idea for creating “link bait”content.

Congratulations,you’re WAY ahead of the game because the vast majority of people don’t do video at all. It’s “scary” and there is time and expense involved. Anyway,your video is a probably a great video that will certainly catch the attention of lots of people to checkout your product. Obviously,though,the video can only do this if those people actually get to view your video. How do you do that? Well,there are many ways but here is one of the best and most important ones. Click here to read more on Getting a Grip on Video Search Engines Popularity:42% [?] Written by David Husnian One of the best ways of getting quick traffic is Pay-Per-Click (PPC) traffic;frequently called “paid traffic”. You’ve probably seen all the e-mail flying around lately from “everyone”about advertising with Google’s GMail (this is done with Google AdWords). You may have wondered what it was all about. You may have even watched the teaser video from Ryan Deiss and have some ideas of what it’s about. Well,last Monday,January 11,2010,I watched the full video from Ryan,not the publicly available one,and I must say I was super excited;in fact,I immediately contacted my main business partner and took her away from the stuff she was doing to babble on like a baby on how great this was —fortunately,after listening to my …shall we say enthused …explanation of it,she agreed it sounded awesome. I hadn’t seen anything as new and interesting in quite a while —I’m actually not sure how long —this was accidental innovation at its best! What to know more about it,well then read on…
