How To Get Free Traffic To Your Website
Without traffic going to your website or blog you are never going to make any money nor generate any leads. There are a number of different companies offering to send massive traffic to your site but the majority of them are not worth the money and to top it off you may be penalized from Google for using them. Through the time I have spent online over the last few years I have come upon a number of different tools and ways to bring your blog or website out of the dark and into the light.
1. Stumbleupon - Stumbleupon is a great free service that allows users to share their favorite sites, photos and videos with like minded people. Basically anything you can think of Stumbleupon has a large group of people sharing the same realm of information.
2. Twitter - If you do not know what Twitter is chances are this is the first time you have ever been online. Most people make the mistake of following everybody and anybody but with the right tools you can make your search and build your following from specific targets which increases the chances of your fellow Tweeters rushing back to your site. The right article on Twitter can generate a steady stream of traffic to your site and again free of charge.
3. Commenting - Find other people's sites and blogs and leave a good comment. Readers of the blog will see your comment and follow you back to your own site. Make sure the comment is real and fits the article that you are commenting on to get the best traffic results. More than one top blogger has suggested thirty comments on thirty (different) blogs for thirty days which is a great idea which will dramatically increase the back links of your own blog/website and this tends to make the big search engines happy which in turn means more traffic to your site.
Getting traffic is essential to the success of a website/blog but the right kind of traffic is much more important. Does not make a lot of sense going after anyone and everyone when you can concentrate on generating specific traffic which will bring your site/blog to the next level.

Get Google To Index Your Site Fast And Free
Get Google To Index Your Site Fast And Free
After spending a number of hours creating your picture perfect website it is time for the next step which is to get it listed online so potential readers can find you. There are a number of people who offer to get your website submitted to Google and other major search engines for a fee but to be honest it is a waste of money. The problem is if you wait for Google to find you it may take several weeks before you are added to the index but thankfully you have me to help speed up the process.
1. Google Webmaster Tools - Every Google account comes a series of useful website tools that Google is kind enough to pass along. Something as simple as submitting a site map can speed up the process of getting your site indexed. There are a ton of free site map generators available on the web that will help you along with the process.
2. Submit An Article To Digg Or Buzz - By simply submitting one of your recent articles can quickly move your site to the front of the line. What I have found that works really well is after you submit your article to than ping the location to Google and one of the many other websites. For example www.digg.com/get-google-to-index-your-site and this tends to work very well. A great ping tool is http://pingoat.com/
3. Leave Comments On Popular Sites - This is really easy to do and not only will it help Google find your pages faster it is also a great way to build up traffic. If Google sees a ton of back links going into a site it will move that particular blog to the front of the line and into their index.
4. Submit Your Website Directly To Google - Sounds kind of funny but it amazes me how many people do not head over to Google and submit their website. It takes about four seconds to complete the form and the chances of a faster index greatly improves. The address to submit your website to Google is http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl . Do yourself a favor and head over to Bing as well: http://www.bing.com/docs/submit.aspx
5. Participate On A Forum - If you already participate on one of the bazillion forums that are on the web just change your signature link to your new site and you are on your way. If you feel that your site is strong in design and is full of compelling content a majority of internet marketing blogs offer a site review where fellow peers on the forum take a look at your site and tell you what they think. Pinging the forum address of your post also helps.
On an average my sites or blogs tend to be indexed by Google within 72 hours and sometimes as fast as six hours. Once your in the index your latest articles can appear within minutes. For example I run a news blog and new items will show up in Google Trends in a matter of minutes and in a dozen or so minutes will appear in Google Search.

A Beginners Twitter Strategy
A Beginners Twitter Strategy
Twitter has exploded in terms of number of users and the wave of traffic that comes from this particular social network with no signs of slowing down. With 140 characters you are able to tell your followers basically anything that you want from what you had to lunch to what you are working on at the moment. Twitter is an amazing tool but like any tool it needs to be used carefully.
1. Twitter Followers - Depending on the reason why you are active in Twitter should dictate the type of followers you have. If you are just interested in conversing with a large number of people than it is fine if you follow everyone and anyone. However if your Twitter is for business than you need to be a lot more selective. There are a number of tools that will enable you to put forward a Twitter search as specific as a user who lives in a Waco Texas who is interested in making money online. If you are looking for potential customers you need to make sure that is who you are following and that who is following you.
2. Spamming Fellow Tweeters - Spam is not cool on any level and at any social network so you have to remember to space out your "ads" or else your followers are going to be running to the hills. I personally try to use a one in ten or even a two in ten where the majority of my links are interesting news and the others are specific to the product I am trying to promote. The last thing that you want is all of your Twitter posts to sound the same.
3. Cold Selling Does Not Work - If you are thinking I am going to get 10,000 followers and than bombard them with sales messages which will lead to a massive increase in my bank account I hate to break it to you but this will not work. A bazillion different reasons but the main two being the economy is still struggling and people have become much more blind to ads. From personal experience I sent out a tweet to over 11,000 people and it brought absolutely nothing back other that a handful of clicks. Twitter is like anything else you need to back up what you say and when your competing against so many other people your Tweets need to stand out to get attention.
4. Time - It takes a lot of time to build up a loyal list of followers and many website owners for whatever the reason count on Twitter as their only promotional tool which is a mistake. Twitter can pay off huge but it is dangerous to put all of your eggs in one basket. I have used TweetAdder for a while now and nothing comes close to it. Tweet Adder finds the exact person I am looking for, keeps my ratios in check which keeps Twitter happy and every now and again I can send out a ton of direct messages using this tool. What Tweet Adder does is save a ton of time so I am able to focus on other aspects of my business.
In closing Twitter is an explosive tool that shows know sign of slowing down but it is essential that you realize from the site what your main objective is to using this powerful tool.

Top Twitter Management Program Tweet Adder
Tweet Adder comes with a number of features that will both save you time and money. Through this article I will go through a number of the features and break them down so you may see how it applies to the Twitter community and more importantly your place in it.
Searching For Twitter Users
Tweet Adder search capabilities makes it possible to find certain users in a variety of niche markets. Put it this way you could find a user in Los Angeles who is interested in music and has more than a thousand followers. Twitter followers are great but targeted Tweeter followers are the ones that you truly want.
Follow/Unfollow
By using the before mentioned search application in Tweet Adder you can follow those users that turned up on your search results. By being able to follow an entire segment of a certain category makes sense on every level but also being able to unfollow those users that do not follow you back is increasingly important. Twitter does not have much qualms about the number of followers that you have until you pass the 2000 follower mark than all of a sudden the ratio rate becomes important. So by unfollowing the users who do not follow you back and searching for followers that are in your niche and will follow you back is normally time consuming but Tweet Adder takes care of this with a couple presses of the button.
Sending Direct Messages To All Of Your Followers
So you have 2000 followers for your niche so the next logical step is to send out a direct message promoting your site or product. Tweet Adder allows you to send out as many messages as you want and keeps track of who you sent the message to so no follower will receive the same message twice.
Scheduling Your Tweets
Say that you are going out of town or even going to bed but you want to send out a tweet every couple of hours. Simply use the program on Tweet Adder and it will posts these tweets as often as you like.
As you can see the variety of features available through Tweet Adder will make your Twitter experience so much more easier and the programs low fee pays for itself very quickly. If you are running a business or trying to promote your site and not using Tweet Adder you might as well hand over your customers to the guy who is as he will have so much more time to refine his promotion.

Twitter Followers Versus Twitter Following
For a long time people on Twitter would just add a ton of people with the hopes that at least a few of them would follow them back but Twitter realized the spam potential so they put in place a Twitter Follower Limit which numerically is 2000 but there is a catch here. It is possible to go over the two thousand limit as long as you have your ratio in check. The ratio is 1 follower to 1.1 following and unless you have the proper program it takes forever to monitor and keep in check. It is important to know who you are following and more importantly who is following you back but the basic programs will not tell you this in terms of time. For example I send out a hundred follower requests and 70 immediately accept the follow and follow me back but there is still the other thirty. On a program like Tweet Adder it will give the potential follower a specified time limit for them to respond than the program automatically deletes them freeing up room for a user who will follow you back which saves a ton of time and effort. I just start the program and it will go automatically making sure that every action it takes is legal in terms of Twitter guidelines and gets the most possible benefits at the same time.
There are other programs who offer a similar set up but they want a monthly free or will charge you for any software upgrades but not Tweet Adder with a one time price that basically pays for itself in a matter of days. If you are serious about promoting your business or blog than Twitter can have an unbelievable impact but you need to be able to use the service to its full capacity.

Building Your Twitter Following
Twitter is an unbelievably popular program that continues to find more and more followers and if you are trying to promote your site, blog or business you need to be part of the Twitter change
It use to be that you followed as many people that you can and hope that some of them would follow you back but this is basically a waste of effort for what you want your following to be are people who share the same interests as you do.
Tweet Adder makes this specialized search very easy, I can search for a person who lives in nowhereville who is interested in mental health and has at least a thousand followers. To have this type of follower is a 100x more valuable than the guy you followed randomly.
Tweet Adder will also (automatically if you want) get rid of the people who are not following you back after a certain time period if you choose. The thing with Twitter now than when it first came out is that there is a limit to how many people you can follow before the ratio kicks into effect. The number is 2000 and after that your ratio needs to be 1 to 1.1 or else Twitter will not allow you to follow anyone else. My main Twitter account is around 2400 followers and I am following around 2550 people, just for an idea of the speed of Tweet Adder a week ago I had under two hundred followers.
Anyway if you want to get your blog, site or business to the next way Twitter makes the next giant step feel like a walk in the part and if you are using Tweet Adder than your basically in a horse drawn carriage surrounded by the right type of people.
