Here's a strategy I use to get TONS of backlinks to my sites. I call it Backlink Building Wheels.

Step by step:

1. Write an article for an article directory like ezinearticles.com or GoArticles.com (here's a good starter list of article directories). I like goarticles.com because it's quick, easy, and the search engines love it. Place one link in the body that points to a page or post on your site. At the end of this, you'll edit this article to complete the wheel. But for now, just place one.
2. Write another article that is similar to the first one and publish it in a blogger.com blog (free easy setup). In it, place two links – one to the page your want to promote (the SAME page as in #1) and one to the actual article that gets published in #1.
3. Write another article, this time on Live Journal. Two links – one to the same page on your site, the other to the article in #2.
4. Repeat 5-8 times. I use GoArticles.com, blogger, Live Journal, Squidoo, hubpages, and wordpress.com.
5. Go back to #1 and put in another link – this time to the LAST article you posted, thus completing the "Backlink Building Wheel."
6. Using social bookmarking services like ping.fm, promote all of the articles above.

This is a very productive strategy for getting relevant backlinks to your site. It may sound cumbersome, but once you get the hang of it, you can create one of these wheels in less than 15 minutes. Time well-spent for getting quality backlinks, if you ask me.

This strategy works well with other backlink building services such as Angela's Backlinks. Simply use #6 to promote the relevancy of each backlink you get.

MyBlogLog (an unusual name, for sure) is different. Essentially, you can see 3 things that are very important. It's a tool I use every day.

The 3 things are:

1. How visitors got to your site
2. What they looked at when they got to your site
3. Whether or not they clicked something on your site

To me, it's critically important to find out where a user came from. Most of my traffic comes from search engines, most specifically Google. The cool thing about MBL is that it shows you the exact URL a visitor came from, which means you get to see the search term(s) that a visitor used to get to your site.

This is extremely valuable information.

You can do a lot with just this simple information. For example, you can build a page incorporating that exact search phrase. Then, you can link that new page to the page the viewer visited (link both ways). You can also tweak the original page to target that key phrase. Now, you have 2 potential pages that are reachable by that search phrase.

You now also know what potential customers are looking for. Why not write a short report (that's an affiliate link to an awesome report on how to write short reports that sell) that addresses this most obvious need?

MBL also has a neat social networking aspect to it. Your visitors can join your "community" and you can send public and private messages. You can use this small subset of your readers (face it, not everyone will sign up to join your community) as a test bed for offers, as a way to find out what your readers really want, or a host of other things. The potential is limitless.

You can also connect with your readers by adding them to your contacts. You can quickly amass hundreds of contacts, and you know what? Because all of your sites are posted on your profile page, your contacts see them all and — more importantly — they visit!

MyBlogLog is a fantastic way to accomplish multiple things with one tool: It's a social networking tool, it's a stats package (albeit not fully-fleshed out in the free version, which is the version I use because a) I'm cheap and b) it's all I need for now), and it's a great way to find like-minded individuals who write some incredible blogs.

I encourage you to check it out.

By the way, I get nothing out of recommending MyBlogLog, other than you might happen across my profile and connect with me. There is no financial incentive.

1. Drive traffic
2. Get visitors to return to your site
3. Get them to buy what you’re selling

There is one way to drive traffic that I want to share with you today and that is using an advertising network to get the word out about your site. More specifically, I want to talk about a free network called Entrecard.

The idea behind Entrecard is really very simple. It’s an ad exchange of sorts that uses credits rather than currency for its transactions (you can buy and sell credits for money, though, but that’s not the main way to conduct the exchange). Sign up for your free account, customize your ad widget, and start “dropping” your Entrecards.

Here’s how it works in a nutshell. Once signed in, go to Entrecard’s site and click on the “Campaign” button at the top of the page. Then, click on a category and you’ll see a list of sites. Hover your cursor over each of the icons and select “site.” This will take you to the site. Find the site’s Entrecard widget and click on the “Drop” link. You’ve just dropped your Entrecard on that site and have earned one credit. You can drop up to 300 cards each day.

Now, this is where it gets interesting. There is a whole cult following of “reciprocal droppers.” That is, if you drop your card on a site, that site’s owner will drop his card back on your site. This amounts to an instant visitor.

Admittedly, these visitors may not be highly targeted, nor may they stay on your site any length of time, other than to find your widget and drop their card on it.

However, if your site is getting very little traffic, you can give yourself a boost by using Entrecard.

Plus, if you ever want to sell ad spots for your site, you can legitimately claim these as viable visitors.

Now, you can advertise on other sites within the network. There are two ways to do this. You can use your credits that you earned by dropping and getting dropped on, or you can buy credits. I have never bought credits, but it is another option for getting the word out on member sites.

Watch your Stats! You want to continue using those sites where you’re getting results, and drop those ads that don’t work. Try a variety of niches, too. Since the credits are free (if you drop and get drops), it’s easy and cheap to experiment.

Entrecard is a super-simple way of generating traffic to your blog. It may not be the most targeted traffic, but it is traffic. And when you’re just starting out, any traffic is better than none at all. By the way, there are some pretty substantial websites on the network.

I highly recommend Entrecard. It is one of the first things I install and put to work when I start a new blog.

It’s a 4-step process:

1. Go to google and type in the keyword you want to check
2. Open the link above, type in the URL of the top sites from Step #1 that you want to check backlinks for
3. Study the list
4. Go get some backlinks!

I suggest you go to the links found in the results from #2 and use only the “do follow” links (“do follow” is a misnomer — choose any of the links that don’t say “do not follow”).

If you get some of the backlinks that your competition already has, in addition to using the strategies found at Traffic-Building 101: Backlinks, you will build up some quality backlinks in no time.

Let me define “successful” for a moment. Success is your objective. It’s whatever you want it to be. It might be quitting your day job and running your own online business. It may be supplementing your income. Or it may be becoming famous.

Or it might just be getting 100 RSS subscribers. Or a 1000.

Whatever.

“Success” means whatever you want it to mean.

However, none of that will occur without getting people to your site. Of course, you could buy a bunch of traffic with Pay-Per-Click ads, but that traffic may not be well-targeted and it will most likely be short-lived.

One of the tried-and-true traffic-building tactics is to build your “backlinks.” A backlink is a link back to your site from another site. It’s a referral, so to speak. If somebody puts a link to one of your posts on her site, then she’s, in effect, endorsing it.

The search engines give a lot of weight to backlinks. Not only the number but the relevance. However, the number means a lot. In short, comparing two similar blogs side-by-side, we’ll see the blog with the higher number of backlinks rank higher in the search engines for a given search term.

So, you want to build your backlinks. But how? There are a few ways:

• Ask. Generally, if you propose to a webmaster a “link exchange,” most will comply. It’s tit-for-tat: You put up my link and I’ll put up yours. This tactic used to be very successful, but nowadays it seems to have a little less effect than a true one-way endorsement. By the way, this link exchange is also known as a reciprocal link.
• Comment. If you make a comment on a blog and you get the opportunity to fill in a “web site information” field in the comments form, do so! Comments are generally moderated by the web owner or administrator so the search engines view a posted comment as a (weak, but effective) endorsement by the site. Commenting on blogs is highly effective.
• Write articles for Article Directories like ezinearticles, goarticles, or SearchWarp. In these articles, you write compelling “useful but incomplete” (thanks, Jimmy Brown) information with a link to your web site or a specific web page (your subscribe page is ideal — you can build your email list this way). This serves as a valid backlink. Plus, since your article is syndicated, web publishers can re-publish your article in dozens, even hundreds or thousands, of places. This can directly drive a lot of traffic to your site, especially if your article is picked up by a big site.
• You can comment in forums, too. Just be careful. Forums became big SPAM sites, so many forum moderators will not only delete your posts if they consider them “too SPAMMY,” but they might also ban you from the forum! However, do some “lurking” in the forum you wish to post to beforehand to see what is acceptable. Read the Terms, too! Finally, ask questions and get involved before you make your “pitch.”
• Finally, there are “backlink building” tools and resources available that either automate some or all of the above (and more) or they give you sites where dropping a link back to your site is relatively easy.

Angela’s Easy Backlink Builder is a good example of the latter. Each month, her service provides you with 30 high Page Rank (a Google term) sites on which you can post your link back to your site (remember, link back to your subscribe page or to a page you want to get out there WITH a subscribe form on the page itself — you want to build your email list, too).

It can be difficult to process all 30 sites in one month.

Here’s a trick: Automate it (as much as possible) using a “form filler” like RoboForm or LastPass. Both of these utilities are known as password keepers, but they have excellent form-filling capabilities.

For example, typing in all the information to register at a site and then filling in your backlink information MANUALLY can take anywhere from 5-10 minutes. With RoboForm (the tool I use), it takes about 30 seconds. Angela sends each month’s backlinks in 4-6 packets. I do one packet at a time. In a few days, I can get the whole thing done.

Now, it’s a $5 a month service. First packet is free. The big question is, how many backlinks do you need?

I’d say 30 from a month’s worth of packets is a great start. Using the other methods listed above in conjunction with “backlink building,” you can get a ton of quality links back to your site in a couple of months. Your rankings in the search engines should rise pretty rapidly.

Build in quality, original content, and you’ve got a winning recipe for getting readers to your site. Next step, of course, is building relationships with your readers. How do you do that? That’s a topic for another story!

ARTICLE MARKETING

Adding articles to article directories is one of the best ways to build traffic and get your website spidered by the search engines. These two critical things will raise your site up the search engine rankings. Plus, by creatively using your resource box, you get a backlink back to your website.

1. Do your keyword research. You can get your site indexed for “long-tail” keywords very quickly by writing articles with juicy keywords that you want to get ranked for in search engines. I’ve seen results for ranking for keywords I’m targeting by submitting articles to directories in as little as under 1 hour at Google. There is really no faster way of getting ranked for target keywords than article marketing. But do your research! In order to get ranked quickly, you’ll have to choose keywords that people would use in a search query but that do not suffer from high competition.
2. Balance your articles for your readers, but keep the search engines in mind. What this means is that you write for people but you also write for search engines, which are definitely not people. Sprinkle in keywords that the search engines (SEs from now on) like but in a readable and natural way. Remember this, though: ALWAYS write solid content for your visitors’ sake. Content is, has always been, and will always be — KING!
3. Don’t waste time submitting your same article to dozens of obscure article directories. There is a temptation to write one article and submit it to every “Tom, Dick, and Harry” article directories. Don’t do it! Make your article submissions exclusive with sites like eZineArticles, GoArticles, ArticleDashboard, and SearchWarp. These are quality article directories with thousands of visitors every day.
4. Make the best Resource Box possible. This is your one chance to get your reader to act; and by “act” I mean to go to your website, fill out a form, buy something. In other words, to take an action that you want them to take.
5. It’s a numbers game, so submit MANY articles. Getting your site indexed by the SEs for highly desirable long-tail keywords is an arduous process that requires dozens of article submissions. Like I said before, make your articles exclusive to a particular directory. So, you’ll have to write a bunch of articles and submit them to article directories. See what happens. Watch your stats!
6. Re-purpose your content. Does this contradict what I’ve just said? No, not really. I am suggesting here that you not only put your article up on an article directory, but that you also put that article up on your own website. Don’t worry about the SEs counting those two nearly-identical articles as duplicate content. It’s only “duplicate content” if it’s on YOUR site more than once. This way, you will be leveraging work you’ve already done to building a long-tail keyword page on your site at the same time as you wrote an article for a directory that the SEs love!
7. Don’t give it all away. What do I mean by this? In your article, give enough information to entice your reader to visit whatever link you reference in your Resource Box. Get them to take your “Most Wanted Action.” In other words, give your readers “interesting but incomplete” information that forces them to take the next step of signing up for your email marketing list.
8. Become an expert. By writing dozens of articles that thousands of people daily have access to makes you an expert in your field. Capitalize on that fact!
9. Research your competition. Look at the most popular articles in a particular directory in your niche and find out what their keywords are, how they write about the topics, how they construct their Resource Box, etc. You want to find out how successful people are submitting articles so that you can mimic their process and make it your own.
10. Set up your article marketing profile. Put up a picture and some interesting facts about yourself. If somebody finds one of your articles, he may try to find you on the article directory website. No picture = very little credibility.

That’s 1-10 of our traffic building tips. We’ll bring items 11-20 next week.

Basically, you get traffic 3 ways:

1. You pay for traffic with money
2. You pay for traffic with time
3. You pay for traffic with a combination of #1 and #2

If you want need traffic right away (bills are piling up, your mortgage is due and you just had to spend it on your car that just broke down, etc.), PPC is the ONLY way to go. You set up small advertisements (a lot like newspaper classifieds) and they run on other websites. You pay by the search term and any time somebody clicks on your ad, you pay a “click charge.”

It’s simple in concept.

But it’s hard in practice. And it can be COSTLY.

I’m getting ready to produce a small report that will give you the ins and outs of PPC marketing. It’s tentatively entitled, “7 Steps to Getting Massive Traffic Using AdWords.”

Subscribe to my list to get updated on when the report goes LIVE. Otherwise, just come back here and I’ll make an announcement after I let my subscribers know.

• Build backlinks by setting up accounts at different websites that allow you to put up links to your website
• Comment on other people’s blogs
• Submit your website to Directories
• Write articles pointing back to your website and submit them to article directories (called article marketing)
• Join a link exchange
• Set up a PPC campaign and pay for your traffic
• Submit useful posts and replies on forums
• Put your signature with a link back to your website on all your email correspondence
• Run classified ads
• Sell physical products on Amazon and eBay for a nominal fee. On that physical product, put your links back to your site
• Submit your posts to “social media” sites like digg, stumble, reddit, twitter (or better yet, get your friends and business partners to do it)
• Blog about your site. Make sure an RSS feed is available and prominently displayed on your blog.
• Squidoo
• Guest blog
• Hold a contest
• Give something away. Within the freebie, place links back to your site
• Advertise in physical media like newspapers, magazines, flyers, business cards
• Put video and images on your blogs and website. Search engines like Google love this!
• Do interviews on radio and television
• Attend fund raisers and hand out business materials
• Advertise in ezines
• Create “viral” reports
• Write and distribute press releases
• Make sure your website is optimized for search engines (SEO)
• Add “tell a friend” scripts to your blogs
• Answer questions at Yahoo Answers
• Write a useful post at Google Knol

That’s it for now. Let’s just say that you have to focus on a few of these and let the others rest for a bit. In order of importance, I’d say the SEO is near the top of the list. Then build backlinks by following the first 5 bullets. Set up a free blog or two and refer visitors of that blog to your website.
