Who said forums are only good for getting help and advice?

There is often so much activity on certain forums that a normal forum-less website can only dream of.

While you can help other members and ask for help on the discussion forums, you can also tap into the abundant traffic of forums and drive it back to your blog.

Following are a few ways to get other forum members to notice you and visit your site at least once.

Start an argument with another member
And by this, it doesn’t mean you start a nasty kind of argument. Just a normal debate between you and another member where you quote each other and try to disprove your opponents’ claim or point of view.

When a debate starts in a particular thread between two members, other members usually don’t interfere. But this doesn’t mean they are not reading. They silently read the debate and derive their own conclusions.

If you wisely pick a weaker opponent to debate with, or you simply have more knowledge than your opponent to easily win the argument, you’ll get a lot of people clicking on your signature link, eager to read more of your thoughts on the subject.

Become an active member in a sub-forum
Pick a certain sub-forum (a forum category) that relates to your blog, and actively participate in all its discussions. Be the first one to solve a problem in a new thread. Always be eager to offer help and advice to fellow members. And Be welcoming to the new members.

This will definitely get other members to appreciate your help and altruism and have them wanting to know more about you on your blog.

Become a moderator
All right, you can’t really become a moderator at will, but if you try hard enough, why not?
Although becoming a moderator requires a lot more commitment and active participation in all the forums on your part, if you manage to pull it off on a fairly busy forum, the effort is worth it.

When you become a moderator, you are instantly promoted from being just another member with worthless opinion to a position of authority, where you are seen to have an authentic and well-researched opinion on all matters.

So, when a forum member clicks on your blog link, he already sees you as authority on a particular subject, which is the hardest part of converting a casual visitor to your site into a regular reader.

Therefore, by becoming a moderator, you not only draw more attention to yourself (and your signature) but you also get visitors who are already inclined to become your readers.

Optimize your signature
Do you have a signature link that says “My blog”? Or is it simply “yourblog.com” or some such anchor text?

Having a well-written link anchor text in your signature is essential if you want others to notice the link. If you did everything else right but have a poorly described link anchor text, you simply wasted your time.

The best way to describe a link is to put it in the form of title and a sub-title.

Example: Life with me: Do you know you can drastically improve your life with the help of me?

Above is much better and appealing than a simple “Life with me” or “lifewithme.com” (only for example.).

Drop your links in the posts
Not in a spammy way. Because if you drop links without establishing yourself as an active and helpful member first, you’ll be ignored, suspended, or banned. So don’t even think about spamming.

But if you want to help a member out and have already a post on your blog related to the member’s query, feel free to refer him to your blog.

If you are already seen as an authority member on the forum, no one would object to your occasional link dropping.

Join My Community at MyBloglog!
MyBlogLog is an extremely important tool for getting a blog off the ground and for building exposure to your site. Many people don’t realize how powerful it really is! This post will help you get a jump start in building traffic to your blog / website, and will also help you find new, interesting sites you never knew about before.

How to Set Up MyBlogLog on Your Blog or Website

1. Create an account with MyBlogLog. This hould take less than a minute. All you’ll need is to pick out your username, email, password, and the URL of your blog. Once you’ve created an account, be sure to upload an image of yourself as your avatar. Photos are just more personal and make things a bit more inviting.

2. To bring more interest to your profile, or simply to help users get to know a bit about you, be sure to fill out some personal information in your profile. Again, it really just helps people to connect with you.

3. You will then want to claim your blog or website. To do this, you’ll need to place a snippet of code that MBL provides you within your blog’s template. Now, when you look at your profile page, you’ll see your website. Both you and your website now have “communities.” Personally, you have the ability to add friends and chat with them. People must join your website’s community, but they can also chat with you through the site’s community.

4. The last major technical step in getting going is installing the MyBlogLog Widget on your blog or website. If you look in your personal profile, you’ll see a link underneath your website’s community “Get Widgets.” The one you are concerned with is the “Recent Readers” widget. This allows you and your other readers to see who has been on your site recently. Layout the widget to your liking and add it to your blog’s sidebar.

8 Steps To Successfully Building Blog Traffic Using MyBlogLog

1. Make sure you are logged into MyBlogLog. This seems obvious, but if you’re not signed in, then people on the site can’t see you when you’re surfing around.

2. Surf your favorite blogs! Start visiting the sites you’d normally visit and see if they have MyBlogLog widget installed. If they do, click on the View Reader Community link at the bottom. This will bring you to their website’s community.

3. Join the community and also add the user as a friend/contact. This shows the user in both their personal profile and their website’s community profile that you are interested. It also gives you more exposure so others can find you more easily.

4. This is one of the most important steps: Leave a comment on either their personal profile or their website’s community profile. Make sure it is not simply “Nice site” or “Great Blog.” Be sure to leave a relevant comment so the user can tell that you’ve actually visited their site.
As a result of your comment, the odds are that the user will go and visit your profile (by clicking on your avatar). They will then see your blog / websites and if they have any curiousity in the topic, will check them out. You’ve just exposed your site to another new person!

5. Wash, Rinse, Repeat! After a while, you’ll have targeted all the sites that you are a fan of. Don’t fret, you have much more work ahead!

6. Now that you’ve gone and let your favorite sites know about your interest, it is time to start finding new sites. There are a many ways to do this:

How to find New Websites of Interest

a) Visit your favorite site’s community pages and look at who else is commenting. Visit their site / blog and return to step 2.
b) Visit your favorite site’s community pages and look at who else is a member. Visit their site / blog and return to step 2.
c) Return to your personal profile page and see who “Viewed this Page Recently.” Visit their site / blog and return to step 2.
d) Go to the “My Admirers” section of your profile. Visit their site / blog and return to step 2.
e) See who is leaving you comments on your personal community profile or your site’s community. Visit their site / blog and return to step 2.
f) Visit the profiles of other users you’ve found and see what communities they are a part of. Odds are they will likely be related to their interests. You now have a slew of other communities and sites to visit.

7. Watch the traffic begin! You’ll start to notice traffic slowly start to come from MyBlogLog. Keep people interested by continung to write quality posts.

8. Set aside some time every day to expand your MyBlogLog contacts, visit new sites, comment, and get yourself out there. Remember, every time you visit another site with the MBL Recent Readers widget, you have another opportunity for exposure for yourself. The more you’re seen around, the more likely people will want to connect with you.

Don’t forget that in addition to using MyBlogLog for traffic that there are other important methods. Commenting on other, related blogs with thoughtful messages is hugely important. This should also become a part of your daily routine.

The idea of being mere passengers on a ship meant to sail to the farthest points does not appeal to people who like to put their destiny into their own hands. They have the desire of maneuvering the ships themselves, of being able to be the ones to take it anywhere they want to. Being aboard a ship on its way to a particularly great destination is something each and every one of them dreams of, and the knowledge that they have the capacity to steer it themselves is what makes them actually want to.


Perhaps this is the reason why more and more people are succumbing to one of the most popular businesses around – affiliate marketing. It is because in this business, there are no bosses to order the employees around. There are no deadlines to meet and no clutter of work do to. One only needs to be equipped with the tools needed to succeed in a business such as this, and he is bound to get what his heart ultimately desires.


Just what are the things needed to be able to succeed in affiliate marketing? What must one have within himself to be able to do well in this industry? There is a lot of competition involved in affiliate marketing, and to be able to rise above the norm, one must be equipped with just the right stuff necessary to propel him forward. There are five things one must ultimately possess if he wants to achieve the glory he is yearning for in this business, and these five things are a must for him to possess to be able to stand out among the rest.


The very first quality one must possess if he wants to try his hand in affiliate marketing is the willingness to learn and be trained. Treading through unfamiliar territory is scary stuff if one is not properly equipped, and he might get lost amidst a jungle of the unknown. Learning the tricks of the trade is also an important aspect of the game, and one’s willingness to know it all will give him far better advantages in the business than he could ever imagine.


The second quality one must possess is the willingness to invest time and effort even if direct results do not seem at all apparent. Although several months may pass without good news, it is important for one who has his foot in the industry to hold on and wait. It is this quality which would save him from giving up after investing a lot of himself in the business.


The third quality one must possess is self-determination. If one wants to conquer the affiliate marketing world, he must have the ability to push himself ahead. Never having to say die is a quality each and every affiliate marketer should possess, and the ability to motivate oneself into scaling greater heights is an ability which would actually take an affiliate marketer there.


The fourth quality one must possess is discipline. If one knows how to teach himself to work everyday with all the energy he can muster, then he is close to achieving what he has set his heart to having in the first place.


The fifth and last quality one must possess is optimism. Negative attitudes and hearsays should not discourage an affiliate marketer from pursuing what he has to in order to make life better for himself and for everyone concerned. Neither should anyone influence his attitude toward the business, because once in it, it is a must for him to be the captain of his ship and the master of his soul.


The ingredients to success in a business such as affiliate marketing are diverse and manifold, but the most important thing one needs to be able to make it big lies in himself alone. It is he who has the capacity to do everything to be able to realize his prospects, and the desire which fuels his heart in doing so is the gasoline which should keep the engine going.
Affiliate marketing is all about putting one’s fate into his own hands. The right attitude is the key to being able to steer one’s ship into that part of the ocean where a certain kind of serenity can be found, one that permeates the atmosphere as the ship sails calmly on.

Though RSS feeds are becoming popular, lot of people still prefer email newsletters when subscribing to blogs. As an example, around 22% of our subscribers have chosen the email option over RSS.
The two most popular blog to email publishing services are FeedBurner and FeedBlitz - both are extremely reliable, offer easy exit options and can co-exist peacefully.
While it’s definitely tough to decide between FeedBlitz and FeedBurner email, I would prefer to go with FeedBlitz due to some recent changes at their end:

1. Look-n-Feel: With FeedBlitz, bloggers have complete control over the design of their email newsletter.
You also get a WYSIWYG environment to edit your email newsletter template. Geeks can directly edit the HTML source.
So with some effort, you can actually make the email newsletter resemble the theme of your blog.

2. Breaking News: Both FeedBlitz and FeedBurner allow you to define the time when your email update is sent to subscribers but FeedBlitz also supports News Flashes - very useful when you want to send an important (or time-critical) update to your email subscribers.
FeedBlitz also provides a couple of unique feature. For instance, you can add the OutBrain ratings widget inside your FeedBlitz email newsletters so subscribers can quickly rate your blog stories. And people can also read your blog inside Twitter or Skype through FeedBlitz.

To have a successful website that is popular and makes money you have to diversify your traffic sources and diversify your income streams. Relying on any one thing can kill a site. In the next few days I will go into more detail. I will add some more as well. I’m sure I have forgotten some. Here is a list of sources.

Incoming Traffic:

  • Free search engine results
  • Pay per click
  • Word of mouth
  • Social networks
  • Links from other sites
  • Search engine image results
  • Links from blogs and forums
    Links in chat rooms
  • Type in

Income streams:

  • Contextual advertising like Adsense
  • Banner advertising
  • Paid reviews
  • Sell leads
  • Sell exit traffic
  • Affiliate advertising
  • Solicit donations
  • Subscriptions
  • Sell items

There are different types of type in traffic. The first kind is having a good domain name. If you own a domain that is the keyword of your subject a lot of people will just type it in. If you own a one or two word domain people will try that domain to see if it has what they need. The other type is brand recognition. If you have spent time advertising your site through online and offline means people will type in your domain name. This can be business cards, mails outs, tv & radio commercials, newspaper ads, brochures, or through word of mouth.

There are many types of electronic communication. The most popular is email. People love to send links to websites to their friends. I spend a lot of time in chat rooms about SEO and post links and see links posted all the time. IM is very big these days as well. I have so many friends on different IM programs I have to use a program called Trillian to keep track of them. I send and received links to websites from friends all the time.

PPC – Adwords Ad Groups

Posted by bonoriau | 12/30/2007

When creating a campaign it is important to create many ad groups and many campaigns. Your ads should match your landing page as much as possible. Once I have a very specific category picked out and creative written for the ad I set up my negative keywords at the campaign level. I then create an ad group that contains the basic root keyword phrases. This will be mostly 2 to 3 word phrases. I set them.all to broad match. I then create an exact negative keyword for each phase. This is my catchall group. My next group is set up the same accept I set them to phrase match. The third group is exact match. I set the same phrases from the first 2 groups in here and set them to exact matches. Try to repeat this process as many times as you can to make sure your ads reflect your landing pages and keywords. Don’t assume that you can catch all searches with your root keywords in broad match. It is very important to come up with good add-on keywords for your broad and phrase matches. Try to come up with as many as you can. Google does not show your ad every time your broad match terms are typed in.

Turn Visitors Into Repeat Visitors

Posted by bonoriau | 12/27/2007

Here are some methods to turn new visitors into repeat visitors:

1. Provide quality content.

By far the most important thing you can do to build a loyal following is to consistently produce high quality blog posts. You can have all of the marketing knowledge and experience possible and you will still struggle to get repeat visits without good, solid content. Content creation should always be a priority and plenty of time should be devoted to it.

2. Display your subscription link prominently.

RSS and email subscribers to your blog are far more likely to return on a regular basis than non-subscribers. This is one of the main reasons that subscribers are so important. Make it as easy as possible for visitors to subscribe by putting the links in a place where visitors will notice right away.

3. Encourage bookmarks.

Bookmark managers like Del.icio.us are great for helping people keep track of pages that they might want to return to at a later time. And if the pages they want to return to are on your blog, that means repeat traffic for you. You can encourage bookmarks by adding icons, or the official Tagometer Badge, to your pages.

4. Offer a subscribe to comments option.

Visitors who leave comments have shown a real interest in the blog post by taking the time to leave feedback. Many of them would like to know when you, or another reader, respond to the comment. If you allow commenters to subscribe to comments they’ll get an email notification when a new comment is posted and maybe they’ll return to the post at that time. For WordPress users the Subscribe to Comments Plugin is an easy install that can encourage repeat traffic and stronger communication.

5. Respond to comments.

As was mentioned in the previous point, many of your commenters will be interested in your response to their comments and questions. Simply responding and showing them that you recognize their contribution can go a long way.

6. Show top commenters.

Here at PureBlogging, David uses another popular plugin called Show Top Commentators Plugin in the sidebar to recognize the readers that have contributed the most comments for the month. The top commenters get a link back to their website or blog. Readers who are interested in the link and the recognition will often come back day-after-day to leave a comment.

7. Send a personal email to first-time commenters.

There are plugins out there that will send an automated email to readers when they leave their first comment. I’ve received plenty of these emails and only 2 or 3 have ever sounded genuine or encouraged me to click on the link back to the blog. I have had really good success with sending a short, personal email to new readers to say thanks (although I have struggled recently to keep this up). A personal note of appreciation can be very beneficial. It’s also a good idea to click-through to their website or blog and mention something about it in your email. It shows them that your message is not automated and that you care enough to visit their site.

8. Write a series of blog posts.

Many bloggers effectively use series of posts to build anticipation and interest. If you have a topic that contains a lot of information, consider breaking it up and presenting it as a series.

9. Post frequently.

Quantity, in addition to quality, is important for repeat traffic. Most readers don’t want to return to your blog only to find that nothing new has been published. Keeping fresh content on the front page will encourage visitors to come back frequently.

10. Use a domain name that can be easily remembered.

If you are starting a new blog keep in mind that your domain name should not be difficult to remember. Try to avoid multiple hyphens, long names, and extensions other than .com (unless you have a good reason to choose a .net, .org, etc.). Most of your visitors will come through search engines or links from other places, but some may want to find your site and not be able to remember your domain name.

11. Link out to those who comment.

Every Friday David publishes a post that includes links to those who have commented frequently throughout the week. I think this is a great way to say “thank you” to readers and encourage repeat visits and comments throughout the week.

12. Use an editorial calendar.

Using an editorial calendar for publication of new posts is a great way to build anticipation from readers. An editorial calendar involves publishing posts on some sort of regular basis. For example, you could post a new article on a specific topic each Monday, a different topic each Wednesday, etc. As your readers see the posts week-after-week they will start to look forward to them.

Promote Your Blog

Posted by bonoriau | 12/19/2007

Building an audience for your blog takes consistency and hard work. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to help speed up the process of gaining new readers and ranking well in the search engines.

1. Comment at popular blogs
The best way to gain an audience is to become part of a community. Find popular blogs that cover a similar topic and participate in the comment section. If you've got good things to say, expect people to come looking for more...at your blog.
2. Submit to respected directories
First things first. Don't submit your blog to just any directory. First identify about five strong general directories, and then five niche directories. You may have to pay for these services, but doing so gets you extra exposure at many levels. You'll have to figure out the niche directories on your own. However, we've listed what we view as the top 5 general directories:

3. Buy Text Links
The fastest and easiest way to do get results is to buy text links. The most reputable and effective text link company is Text Link Ads. They have tens of thousands of sites from which to pick from. Just find similarly themed sites with good prices and you're all set.
4. Google AdWords
Purchasing AdWords for strategic keywords related to your blog can bring in a substantial number of highly targeted new visitors. Before you use AdWords, consider doing research to make sure you are picking highly targeted keywords and not wasting your money.
