How do you get visitors to your website? What do you do to get increased traffic? Here’s a list of 10 more items you may consider.
Here are 10Â more ways that are in addition to my previous posts here - 10 Ways to Promote Your Website - and here - 12 More Ways to Promote Your Website
E-Mail Strategies
The Money IS in the List! Don’t neglect e-mail as an critical way to bring people to your website. Please don’t spam, that is, don’t send bulk unsolicited e-mails without permission to people with whom you have no relationship. Many countries have anti-spam laws.
1. Install a “Signature” in your E-Mail Program.
Most e-mail programs allow you to create a “signature” to appear at the end of each message you send. Limit it to 5 to 7 lines: Company name, address, phone number, URL, e-mail address, and a one-phrase description of your unique business offering. Look for examples on e-mail messages sent to you.
2. Publish an E-Mail Newsletter.
While it requires a commitment of time, creating a monthly e-mail publication is one of the most important promotion techniques. It could be a newsletter (”ezine”), industry updates, new product information or lists of tips. Basically, whatever you believe your customers will appreciate. This is a great way to keep in touch with your prospects, generate trust, develop brand awareness, and build future business. It also helps you collect e-mail addresses from those who visit your site, but aren’t yet ready to make a purchase. You distribute your newsletter inexpensively using e-mail marketing services such as eResponder .  Blogs are very popular, but don’t really replace e-mail newsletters. You have to go to a blog to read it, while an e-mail newsletter appears in your inbox asking to be read.
3. Aggressively Ask for E-Mail Sign-ups. Read more »

How do you get visitors to your website? What do you do to get increased traffic? Here’s a list of 12 more items you need to consider. You may be doing many of these already. Others you meant to do and forgot about. Still others you’ve never heard of.
Here are 12Â more ways that are in addition to my previous post here - 10 Ways to Promote Your Website
Linking Strategies
Links to your site from other sites drive additional traffic. But since Google and other major search engines consider the number of incoming links to your website (”link popularity”) as an important indicator of relevance, more links will help you rank higher in the search engines. Google has a measure called PageRank ( PR ) that reflects the quantity and quality of incoming links. All links aren’t equal. Links from trusted, popular sites help your site rank higher than links from lower traffic sites.
11. Submit Your Site to Key Directories, since a link from a directory will help your ranking — and get you traffic. A directory is not a search engine. It is a listing of sites sorted according to category and subcategory. Be sure to list your site in the free Open Directory Project (www.dmoz.com), overseen by overworked volunteer editors. But if you don’t get listed right away, don’t be impatient and resubmit, or you’ll go to the end of the queue. A link in this directory will help you a lot.
Yahoo! Directory (dir.yahoo.com) is another important directory. Real humans read submission, so be careful to follow the instruction given. Hint: Use somewhat less than the maximum number of characters allowable, so you don’t have wordy text that will tempt the Yahoo! editor to begin chopping.
12. Submit Your Site to Trade Organization Sites and Specialized Directories. Some directories focused on particular industries, such as education or finance. You probably belong to various trade associations that feature member directories. Ask for a link. Even if you have to pay something for a link from the organization, it may help boost your PageRank.
Some directories, however, come and go very quickly, making it hard to keep up, so don’t try to be exhaustive here. Beware of directories that solicit you for “upgraded listings.” Unless a directory is widely used in your field, a premium ad is a waste of money — but the (free) link itself will help boost your PageRank and hence your search engine ranking.
13. Request Reciprocal Links. Find websites in your general niche and request a reciprocal link to your site. Develop an out-of-the way page where you put links to other sites so you don’t send people out the back door as fast as you bring them in the front door. Your best results will be from sites that generate a similar amount of traffic as your own site. High-traffic site webmasters are too busy to answer your requests for a link and don’t have anything to gain. Look for smaller sites that may have linking pages.
When you locate sites, send a personal e-mail using the contact e-mail on the site or to the administrative contact listed in a Whois Directory . If e-mail doesn’t get a response, try a phone call.
Warning: Only link to complementary sites, no matter how often you are bombarded with requests to exchange links with a mortgage site that has nothing to do with your teddy bear store. One way Google determines what your site is about is who you link to and who links to you. It’s not just links, but quality links you seek. Reciprocal linking as hard, tedious work, but it doesn’t cost you a dime out of pocket! Keep working at this continuously, a little bit at a time. Patience and persistence will get you some good links, so keep at it.
14. Write Articles for Others to Use in Websites and Newsletters. You can dramatically increase your visibility when you write articles in your area of expertise and distribute them to editors as free content for their e-mail newsletters or their websites. Just ask that a link to your website and a one-line description of what you offer be included with the article. This is an effective “viral” approach that can produce hundreds of links to your site over time. You’ll find lots of information on how to do this from the most popular article marketing site, EzineArticles.com. When you create a free membership account, they begin sending you instructions and ideas each week. Read more »

The average U.S. Internet user spends more time on Facebook than on Google, Yahoo, YouTube, Microsoft, Wikipedia, and Amazon combined. Think about that for a moment.
The latest numbers released by Nielsen today confirm that Facebook is the number one destination on the web based on time.
Is this a good or bad thing?
This is good info to have if you market online. Facebook is a great target for marketing worldwide.
What are your thoughts on those numbers?

Has Google changed social networking with today’s introduction of Google Buzz?
Buzz is touted as a new way to start conversations about the things you find interesting, share updates, photos, videos and more. It’s built into Gmail, so there’s nothing to sign up for, install or configure.
Buzz makes use of your current contact list within Gmail, so you already have a built-in set of friends, as well.
You can choose to share publicly with the world or privately to a small group of friends each time you post. Connect other sites you use, such as Picasa, Flickr, Google Reader, and Twitter.
This lets your friends keep up with what you’re doing around the web in one tidy little place.
If you don’t feel you have enough connections in Gmail, Google Buzz will suggest new contacts for you. Buzz will recommend posts from people you’re not directly following, usually from places your current friends are having conversations. If you’re not interested in a particular recommendation, just click the “Not interested” link.
Some are saying that Google Buzz can replace FriendFeed. I still think that both services are quite different, offering different things to their users. I don’t see Buzz as replacing or killing FriendFeed.
Google Buzz will be rolled out everywhere within the coming days. If you don’t already have it showing up in your Gmail, you will soon. Keep an eye out for a Buzz link under your Inbox.
Check it out… try it on for size.
Let us know what you think of the newest offering from Google. Is it a bunch of hype? Or… is the buzz about Buzz on target?
Do you think that having it tied to your email address is a good thing?
I can keep my email private at facebook, twitter and FriendFeed. Not so much with GMail.

“OrganicAcres launched 1 month ago - Payment Proof”
Organic Acres launched 1 month ago.
I figured that this was a good time to update how January went.
Below is my compensation report for January 2009.
My total commission for January was $154.99
$21.99 was bonuses and $133 was from downline upgrades and purchases.
That $133 is monthly income, so next month should be at least $133 earnings.
Even as a free member you can earn from direct referrals purchasing a membership or garden and hold your position. You just do not earn from the 2nd to 5th level until you at least purchase a Basic membership which is $15 a month.
If you have any questions, check the Knowledge Database in Support, attend the Live Presentation listed in the Event Calendar or contact me.
If you have not yet checked out Organic Acres, you can join for free and check out the whole marketing system and products risk free.

If you’re looking to discover how to make money online in 2010 check out the Shoemoney System.
Jeremy Schoemaker has a real rags to riches story and he’s managed to build himself an amazing business since turning his life around 5 years ago.
Here i what I like about the videos I’ve seen so far in Jeremy’s system:
- They are designed for real people who are at the beginning of their journey.
He actually talks through many of the basics in simple language to a real person who is also at the beginning of their journey.
Check out this example of the type of teaching included.
- They are well rounded.
Jeremy doesn’t just teach one way of making money online.
While he has his own approach, he is one of those people who has tried many methods and gives a great introduction to them all.
- They are based upon his experience.
Jeremy has tried a lot of stuff and his teaching shows the real experience of someone who has actually made a lot of money online.
He and his team have tried and tested the strategies he teaches.
You’re not getting just theory here but an honest and experienced teaching based on what he’s done.
- It’s largely video teaching.
I let this kind of stuff play while I’m working in the background most days.
If you are too busy to watch them, just listening to them gets you 90 percent of the info.
The other thing I like about Jeremy, is that he has compiled some really useful tools to simplify a lot of what he does.
If you are interested in another proven online entrepreneur’s approach to making money online, then Checkout ShoeMoneySystem to see some Free videos.
It’s worth your time.
P.S. Don’t forget to come back here and let us know what you think.

Email from PyraBang Owner:
Gold Members now own a piece of PyraBang!
As of this moment - By my word only (we need to hammer out legalities and such) - but this is my commitment to everyone here that sticks in until we get the job done.
Every Gold Member in good standing hereby owns a piece of PyraBang INC. I am setting aside 10% of this company to be distributed by sliding scale on a given date (date to be set) I am estimating out 4 years into the future. I want all of my members to understand that I truly am committed to their future. I also want to show the world what the power of a force that is truly united in a common goal can do.
Investor share is sliding scale - from your “Gold Since” date - currently we do not have this date available on your group page but we will shortly. If you downgrade for ANY reason your Gold Date is moved up to the current date. The percentage of the company you will receive will be dependent on that date. Now - I invested a house into this… I don’t want to hear ANYONE crying about not being able to handle their 6 bucks so this is NON - Negotiable! In case of failed payments or anything like that keeping an extra $5.95 in your account (on PyraBang) to back up your investment is the safest thing to do!
If you log into your Welcome Page and see money in those accounts and we didn’t for some reason collect it for your membership that would obviously be a different story! This is the reason for our first month 34 day policy so that folks memberships are not due until roughly 3 days after their payment is collected.
Potential gain - Strictly from an investment point of view:
If the only thing you ever did was paid your $6.00 per month… never came back… never posted anything and never got involved, you STILL now have a pretty good shot at making money! Gold Members who do use our services are bound to get pretty excited about this as consistent cashflow means consistent upgrades and more value to the people they’re trying to sign up!
Using other un-named companies in comparable situations on the net - PyraBang has a legitimate shot at being worth in excess of one billion dollars in 4 years. (I’m a little more optimistic - but also biased!) 10% of one billion will be 100 million dollars of which you can either sell or hang onto and give to your grandchildren. Remember when Yahoo had it’s bubble? Well the bubble has already burst, the economy is in shambles, there’s not to may other places to go but UP from here!
In a downright depression, PyraBang INC has in 14 short months managed to go from one line of code to a company that is well worth in excess of $100,000. Why? Because our system of doing things just might be the cause of the next UPSWING that’s why!
The niche that we have begun to explore is untapped - but vast. There are many people out there who would like to be “hearing it through the grape vine”, they just don’t know it yet! I’m not talking about twitter or myspace or a social community. I’m talking about giving sovereign individuals the WHEREWITHALL to be able to follow their passion instead of fight with their hard drives!
Downside risk - If “they” shut off the internet, well then maybe we might have a bigger problem than your PyraBang investment!
This has not been implemented yet, so there should still be time to join and go Gold ($5.95 a month) and get your piece of PyraBang.
Check it our for free, here: http://www.theincometeam.com/lnk/pyrabang/

2009 was a great year for affiliates of the
ACME People Search business.
GOAL! Making 2010 Your Best Year Yet.
In 2009, I earned over $3900 from APS ( ACME People Search ).
This is just 1 of the 8 current income streams. As you can see below, I earn about $450 a month from APS.
All of the other income streams are related to your core People Search Website.
They are also all optional. Most are free and some have a cost.
One of these is GVO ( Global Virtual Opportunities ), which is also listed in the payment proof below.
I am currently earning around $185 a month from GVO.
