Another FREE Advertising Source for More Website Traffic!

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Announcing a brand new way that you can get FREE & a HUGE amount of traffic visiting your website for years to come.

As you should already know, some of the absolute best ways to get traffic to your website is through search engines. You also should know that search engines just love blogs.

If you know how to use blogs to your advantage, you can easily get a lot more traffic to your site just by posting your keywords in the title & having your blogs indexed by the search engines.

Other methods to get traffic going to your site is to use one of the popular free Traffic exchanges. Many of these aren’t real effective, but some of them actually do work.  Plus, when you know what you are doing, you can destroy your competition by doing so.

With this, you can kill two birds with one stone. Right now you can advertise for free (really) on a new BLOG that actually allows you to place your ads on their website (with direct links to your own website).  Although most blog owners don’t like people to advertise on their blogs, this website was made exclusively for that purpose.

It’s free to join & 1000’s of people are rushing to use this service to drive huge amounts of traffic to their websites in just days by simply posting one little ad on the home page.  As I’ve said before, free is almost always a good thing!

Anyone looking to increase their bottom line should look into using this service.  It definitely can’t hurt!

Get paid for simply just showing people your website! No clicking involved!

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

Trying to make money with adsense or similar?  Having much success trying to get people to click your ads?  How’d you like to get paid when people JUST visit your websites?  That’s all, just get visitors to stop by your website like you would normally do anyways.  There’s NO clicking involved to get paid!  In fact, your visitors don’t have to do anything… and you still get paid!  HUH???  Check this out…

Everytime your website is seen, you get paid.  How is this possible?  Well, thanks to this new revolutionary breakthrough technology, advertisers are now willing to put a fast 5 second radio spot on your website and pay you when someone goes to your site, whether or not your visitor actually hears the message!  Sounds crazy, I agree, but the company that’s running this has the cost calculations figured into adrates for those who have their speakers on or not. 

As for the 5 second spots, only one message (one ad sponsor) is played, so there’s no worries of annoying your guests.  It’s fully customizable too, whether you want it to be played on every single page of your site, or just one page, or anywhere in between.

Advertisers get inexpensive advertising (because of those factors) but us publishers who own the websites get paid without having to do any additional work!  All we have to do is just insert the code into the pages.  Simple.

Plus, for a limited time, the company is looking for people to refer others for being both publishers and advertisers.  This is a 100% free opportunity to earn a massive residual income!  You get paid weekly, you earn off of your own websites, and you can earn by referring others (but you don’t have to).

If you wish you had been in on the ground floor when an opportunity like adsense first started (and publishers were making thousands weekly), then DON’T MISS OUT on this one!  I’ve seen a lot of opportunities come and go, (and I wish I’d been a part of them!) but this one looks very, very interesting.

Check it out for yourself, I’m sure you’ll agree this one has superior potential.

Free Website Trade magazine for owners & webmasters

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008


Here’s a quickee post…  Found this link for getting a free subscription to website magazine, a print publication devoted to making, maintaining, and all things relevant to websites.  If you do any of those, you’ll be satisfied with this magazine.  And it’s free!

I’ve already received my first issue, and it’s pretty impressive, I must say!  Lots of useful articles in this magazine with strategies, techniques & tools that you can implement into your own web sites.  Sure, there’s probably lots of info like this on the internet somewhere, but I’m old school, I like reading a good ole paper publication, something that I can actually hold onto & sink my teeth in.  Besides, there’s too many other things to be doing while on the web (like making money), and I don’t want to spend that time “reading.”

So anyways, here’s the link for your free website magazine subscription:

Take a Break during your Work Day

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

When you work from home, and spend all your time on the internet, whether it’s checking emails, maintaining your websites, tracking down new opportunities, etc., you really should take a break during your work day just to refresh yourself.

Who knows, you may end up coming up with some new ideas to earn yourself some extra income, or benefit in some other ways.  If nothing else, just remember that all work and no play makes johnny a dull boy. 

Occasionally, I like to take a break by going and playing poker.  Not only does it break up my day and give me some fun during the day, but it also serves to generate extra exposure to some of my websites! 

How, you say?  Well, you see the site that I play at, pokerstars, allows you to have a picture that represents your “player” at the game.  I use an appropriate symbol that coincides with one of my interests, but at the same time anyone who recognizes it always asks me about it… so I use the chat feature on the poker website to talk to them about this interest & then send those people to my websites!  Sure, it’s not a huge amount of traffic that I get this way, but hey, it is free + it’s targetted traffic that is actually interested in this type of site. 

It won’t be considered as spam either, or get you into trouble with the poker sites for illegal promotion or broadcasting, since the other players are really the ones asking about it.  No different than casually mentioning it to a friend in a normal conversation.  Just be sure the other players are the ones who ask first!  You can’t be pushing visiting your sites down other peoples throats, as then you will probably be in violation of the poker website’s terms of service.  You can’t just blatantly type in your websites in the chat box & tell others to go visit, but when somebody else starts up a conversation about this picture I have, who am I to deny them the right to go “take a look” at my website.    See how that works?  They wanted to know about it, I didn’t force anything upon them.  Of course, I don’t usually mention the fact that I own these websites, I just respond to what they ask about & then tell them about this cool website…  www mywebsite com that I like.  :)   Which isn’t a lie, because I DO like the website… even if I do happen to own it!  Don’t you like the websites you own???

Take a break during your work day doesn’t always mean just goofing off instead of working, especially when you can promote your websites at the same time.  But it IS good to be able to accomplish both when you can.   Nice, huh?

Directory Listings - Get Listed!

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

Directory Listings are a necessity to provide your websites with backlinks, whether they be one way or reciprocal.  Think about a directory like a phone book.  People can look up the entries (websites) that are listed in the directory.  As with a phone book, if no one is actually looking through it, your listing will not be seen.  This doesn’t mean that it isn’t a worthwhile thing to do however, as every one of these directory listings that you get acts as a link to your website, which in turn will help you get ranked better by the other search engines (which is what doing all this is really meant for).  This is a slow process however, so realize results are not going to be seen overnight.  There are a lot of people submitting their own websites to the many directories available.  What this means is you should start including your websites into them as soon as possible.  Some directories take months to get listed in with the backlog of entries waiting for submission.

To make the process of doing this a bit easier, Brad Callen has a software program called Directory Submitter.  This is a very easy tool to use, and sure beats having to retype the same info in the forms numerous times!  Submit Your Website To Thousands Of Website Directories Instantly   Did you know there are literally thousands of these directories on the web?  Using a program that has a lot of them listed already makes it very convenient!  You don’t have to search for all of them.  Of course, it’s still time consuming to go through the process of submittal, but you can get listed in more directories faster by using a program like this than not using one.  The above mentioned program (free, by the way) has over 350 directories included, which is a great start.  There’s an upgrade available that has over 1700 when you’re ready for it (very inexpensive for what you get).  This program is in my own personal arsenal of tools to use to promote my websites.  It’s also the preferred directory submitter to use as its one of the easier ones to use.

When submitting your directory listings, be sure to pace yourself.  You want the links that you get to “look” natural to the search engines.  By that I mean you don’t want to get 300 links overnight!  Perhaps try to get just 25 a day.  This looks very natural to the search engines, like the owner of the website is building links for his site via an uncontrolled method (such as NOT using a tool like this!).  The nature of any website is to have links coming & going to/from it, so the search engines “know” you are going to have some, just try to keep them looking like they were all done manually.  Because of the backlog of submitted websites, the reality of getting the links will not really be acquiring 25 a day, more likely, you may get a dozen or more every day since some directories are quicker in the approval process than others.  That’s why you need to submit to 25, so you can hopefully get a dozen or more every day.

This should be a daily chore if you want to keep the exposure and traffic coming.  Alternatively, if you can’t do this daily, schedule it into your week somehow, perhaps twice or three times a week.  Just keep it consistent all the time, for the natural look & to make sure you get visitors dropping by your site.

Directory Listings - Get Listed!  Go ahead, start today, and tomorrow, and the next, and so on.  Your title that you use for the directory is sometimes your text link (keyword), so you may just get into that #1 Google spot yet if you try hard enough!

You Surf, They Surf, We all Surf

Friday, December 7th, 2007

You should always get in the habit of trying to use methods that will gain traffic to your websites.  You Surf, They Surf, We all Surf, as this is what the internet is actually for, surfing for information.  While you are surfing though, wouldn’t it be nice to get some credit for doing that?  Instead of just doing it?  What a bonus, while you are browsing for various things, at the same time, you are accumulating credits that can be used to advertise your own websites!  This is actually a pretty clever idea.

There are many free traffic generation sources like this that are available for you to use.  You can utilize more than one, but some of them have it set up where they are in your web browser & it’s actually your start-up page when you first open your browser window (which is a great method).  You should be doing a little surfing each day to keep a constant flow of traffic going to your own sites.  With the traffic program in place, just set aside maybe 10 minutes (more if you’re able) every day and start surfing first thing when you log on.  No hassle, easy and quick, another simple method for free traffic going to your sites!  You Surf, They Surf, We all Surf!  But now WE benefit from it!

Here’s a fully automated traffic-generation system that can send 1000’s of targeted prospects to your website, every single day, for FREE!  It’s also my favorite one to use, and believe me, I’ve used a lot of the different plans available.  This one takes just 5 minutes to set it up, and it’s totally “viral.”  Check it out and create a free account today!  Get More Traffic.

Since we all tend to just not only spend our time developing, marketing & promoting our own web sites, but browse the internet for information on our other interests, why not self-serve yourself and gain a bit of a bonus via this free exposure method?  Surfing is part of why the web is out their, because people want info.  And if we are going to go looking around anyways, wouldn’t you rather get something for it, since you’re going to do it anyways?  I know I would!

You Surf, They Surf, We all Surf.  And now we can get thanked for doing so!  That’s just another tip for getting more exposure to your sites, and you know that every little bit helps.

Free Traffic

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

When you have your own websites, the one thing you must also have, is Free Traffic going to your websites.  Without it, no one will know that your websites are even there. 

There’s lots of ways to get Free Traffic, but one easy method that I have found is to sign up at one of those sites where they give you a small amount to initially get you into the door, hoping you will sign up, or purchase, their “bigger” offer.  Of course, you don’t have to actually buy the upsell, unless you feel it’s worth it.  But by joining the program they are offering, simply to get the initial Free Traffic, will get some exposure to your websites.  And if you continually sign up for these free programs, you get (even if minimally) the exposure to your websites that costs you nothing but a bit of your time.  Granted, this isn’t the only method that you should be employing to get traffic to your sites, and perhaps not the absolute best way either, but all of the things you do combined, is what makes the difference between people seeing what you have on the internet, or not.

Get 100 FREE Visitors to Your Website! is one such program that gives you a guaranteed 100 people seeing your website.  They also have a program set up (no cost to join, by the way), that if you advertise their service, they will give you 25 more free hits everytime you refer someone.  Not a bad arrangement for very little work.

For more programs such as the above, you can go to the search engines and find, I’m sure, thousands more.  Some cost to join, some don’t.  With so many different companies offering similar systems, I prefer to not have to pay for them.  Why should you?  Spend that same money you would have to pay to join, on something that will give you a better return on your investment!

Free Traffic really isn’t free, as you have to spend your time doing the work to get it, but at least it doesn’t actually cost you any money.  Plus, once you do the initial setting up of joining into the program, your work for that (one program) is done, and you could possibly continually get visitors to your websites for a long time after that.  At no additional cost, or time spent, to do so.   Now go sign up for more of these!  If you spend a day (or half a day) doing this, just once a week, week after week, you should have people coming to see what you have in no time!

Take The Internet Back

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

Take The Internet Back is suppose to be an opportunity to own a piece of the next big internet company.

When you sign up, you get a $10.00 sign up bonus deposited into your account, free downloads of internet related items, and a contract assuring you of ownership.

To get paid out, you need a minimum of $20 in your account, and have to personally refer 2 people.  That’s not that hard to do, it’s just 2 people!

You earn money, well, actually they call it “points,” but points = money on their system, by reading emails.  You can specify how many emails you want to receive per day, 1 to 10.  The more emails you read, the more points you earn.

Eventually, in theory, you will get a percentage of what this company makes.  They have a “warchest” wherein they buy other companies, make certain investments, etc., and they share the revenue they get from these instruments with the members.

I’ve been a member with them for 6 months.  It’s going… I’m not getting rich off of this, yet…  but perhaps in the future, who knows?

This is just another program that you can join in on and perhaps strike it big sometime in the future… hopefully the near future!  It doesn’t require a lot of effort, and doesn’t cost anything to join.

The free downloads they offer, which is a lot, and they have a variety of subjects that have to do with internet marketing and the like, in my opinion, make joining worth it.

Check it out and make the decision based on what you think.  I thought the Take The Internet Back program was worthwhile to add to my arsenal of money making plans, although I haven’t really made that much from it yet.  Of course, it could be due to the fact that I don’t spend a lot of time with it either.

Get Paid to read emails

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

One of the things I’ve been testing for the past 6 months, is one of those get paid to read emails programs that you can join to make some extra money.  So did I make any money?  Well, yes, but, you have to read A LOT of emails to really make a decent amount.

If you have a lot of time on your hands, or are a parent working from home, this could generate some additional money for you.  Granted, it’s not a lot, usually averaging 3-5 cents per email, but if you stick with the program for a long time, it will pay off.  Just remember that you can’t fully rely on only a program like this, you should have other methods to make money as well.

My recommendations are if you join a Get Paid to read emails program, there is a section for you to state your interests.  I would check off ALL of the categories (your interests), so that you get the maximum amount of emails sent to you.  (the more emails you get, the more $ you make).

There are a variety of these types of programs out there, all you have to do is google “Get Paid to read emails” and you should have hundreds to choose from.  Good luck with this one & happy reading!

No time for blogging

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

Well, I see it’s been like 6 months since I made my last post!  No time for blogging!  I guess other people have gone through this as well.  You get busy working on things with the other projects you have going on, and sometimes you forget to do some of the other things you were suppose to do (like make posts on a blog!).  Oops!

Oh well, I’m sure I’m not the only person with this dilemna.  But I have been busy with other internet related projects, and now that I am (mostly) finished with them, I can get back to this one.  Sure hope its not another 6 months before I make the next post!  No time for blogging isn’t really an excuse, but it is a valid explanation for a long lapse in posting new material.
