Getting Visitors to Your Blog
How are your numbers? Are you happy with the number of visitors coming to your site each day?
There are many ways to get visitors, such as article marketing, leaving comments (not spam) at various niche-related blogs, submitting to social bookmarking and social news sites, putting up Squidoo lenses, and so on. Some people who read your articles, see your comments, or visit your Squidoo lens will follow the link to your site.
But the rules are constantly changing. Now there is Twitter, Mashable, Pownce and more that you can use to drive visitors to your site. How do you keep up with it all? Where do you hear about the latest Web 2.0 techniques?
You can join social sites such as Social Marketing Central (click the link in the sidebar). That’s a social site, similar in purpose to Facebook and MySpace, but for marketers interested in Web 2.0. At Social Marketing Central people discuss the best Web 2.0 tools.
You can also join memberships such as Social Power Linking. For less than $1 a day you get excellent training for getting links to your site. If you sign up for 3 months, 6 months, or a year, you get significant discounts.
They have one training in particular that walks you through 60 days to getting more traffic to your site. I’m going through it now, and it is top-notch.
If you don’t have a blog yet and do not know how to set one up, then Authority Site Center is the place to start. There you get a blog set up for you, in whatever niche you choose. You get the training for selecting a niche, including researching keywords and more, all for about $3 a day. That is a great bargain considering all you get for that price.
Authority Site Center has gone through some major upgrades in the last year. They have a well-organized training center that walks you through every step, from researching possible niches to optimizing your blog for search engine optimization, and everything in between.
I’ve been with them for over 2 years. Before I signed up with ASC I was wandering. I had no idea how to decide on a niche, how to choose keywords, how to set up a blog, or how to monetize it. I can’t say enough good things about ASC.
So here are three possible memberships to keep current on the latest Web 2.0 techniques:
- Social Marketing Central, which is a no-cost membership
- Social Power Linking, which is a very-low-cost membership
- Authority Site Center, which is a low-cost membership
There are memberships out there that cost hundreds of dollars a month. I don’t think it is necessary to break the bank when there are great alternatives that cost so little.
If you need complete training, including niche research, keyword research, and so on, I highly recommend Authority Site Center. If you have a blog and you know how to monetize it, then perhaps all you need is Social Power Linking for discovering the latest ways to attract more visitors. If you don’t have $1 a day to spend on learning traffic strategies, then at least sign up for Social Marketing Central by clicking on the link in the sidebar where it says “I’m a member of Social Marketing Central.” Then join some of the groups there and start learning how to use Web 2.0 techniques to get visitors.
