‘What goes around, comes around’

October 23, 2008 · Leave a Comment

You ever heard that phrase before?

I am sure that you have, and I am also almost certain that you would probably agree that it is true as well.

There really is nothing (or at least very, very little) that is genuinely new in life, that you haven’t seen before, and the older you get, the more it happens!

It’s like when I see yet another email land in my inbox, promoting yet another latest ‘secret’ product, or a ‘never-seen-before’ solve all the problems of the world master plan from the latest ‘guru’ (who nobody had ever heard of yesterday).

Sound familiar?

Seen it all before?

Of course you have – you and me both, and, whilst I am not going to insult your intelligence by telling you how ‘sick to death’ I am of it (that tactic has also been played out to the n’th degree); I am going to be totally straight up with you.

Most of the products that I have seen hit the market over the last year or so have been revamped or worked-over copies of stuff that I had seen before, sometimes many more times than once.

Thus, when I get the chance to look at a new product, I do not expect to be impressed.

In fact, I rarely if ever manage to get past the first few pages…if I ever start to suffer from insomnia, I know I have a hard drive packed with stuff sure to help cure the problem!

So, when I got a first chance to look at ‘Traffic 2.0’, it was definitely a question of, ‘okay, here we go, who’s this one copied from?’

And now?

Well, I’ve already told you an awful lot about it in my previous mails, and that in itself should tell you that I rate it pretty highly.

More importantly, I want to tell you exactly why I rate it so highly, and why I have no hesitation in recommending it to you.

First off, it is not a stale rehash of some other junky product.

Note that I did not claim that it is ‘unique’ or ‘brand new’ because I have not seen every other internet marketing product that has ever come out, so how do I know that?

Second, it is not a ‘one idea’ product like 99% seem to be.

‘Traffic 2.0’ pulls together a whole host of traffic generation ideas, tips and systems that, taken together (and that is the key word, together) form a very sensibly balanced approach to traffic creation.

And the third thing (and this is a big bugbear of mine) is that it does not insist on throwing out the baby with the bathwater, like so many products seem so keen to do.

What I mean by this is that, whilst everyone is running around like a headless chicken, spouting about this Web 2.0 tactic or that Web 2.0 idea, they seem to have forgotten that a lot of Web 1.0 ideas and traffic generation tactics worked pretty well too!

And, guess what?
They still work just as well now as they did when computers were still steam driven!

This ‘Traffic 2.0’ system manual doesn’t forget this either, and even includes a section that shows that, whilst, sure almost everything you read is about Web 2.0 nowadays, you shouldn’t discard something that still works just because it’s old!

So, my view of ‘Traffic 2.0’?

It’s a very well thought out and sensibly balanced system for driving large numbers (notice that it is not always necessary to use words like ‘massive’ or ‘huge’?) of new visitors to your site or blog at minimal cost or for no cost at all.

I like it, and am starting to use it.

I am sure that you would do too, and for that reason it gets a big ‘no hype’ thumbs up!

Looking For Free Traffic

September 18, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Looking for free traffic, we suggest article marketing. Writing articles and submitting them to article directories is a simple, but effetive way to create interest and generate traffic to your website. Best Of all, it’s free.

For many years, most succesful online marketers as well as offline marketers have used article submission as a way to draw attention their products and send interested traffic their way.

Basically the way it works isthat you write (hopefully) interesting articles. Then you submit the articles to article directories for other people to use freely on their sites, blogs and in their written work. The condition is that they have to use the article as it is. They are not allowed to change it in any way.

You will also have included a link on the bottom that will link back to your website, sales page, product or your blog. When people read the article, and if they like it, they may possibly click on the link and you will get free traffic to your website or where ever you would like them to visit.

Here are some steps to follow if you decide to give article marketing a try. I personally believe this is a must, unless of course you allready have all the traffic you will ever want.

Before you do anything else, consider your topics for your articles.

Do not make your articles one long, fancy sales ad for your products or services. These will not get published. Keep the article between 400 to 750 words for best results. Keep in mind that every article directory has submission guidelines that must be followed to the letter.

Provide fresh thoughts to old ideas. Offer new solutions to old problems we all share. Visit other blogs and see what they are doing.

Here are a few popular article directories where you can submit your articles as well as getting some ideas for your own articles:

Ezine Articles – http://www.ezinearticles.com

ArticleDashboard – http://www.articledashboard.com/
