Build Free and High Quality Targeted Traffic

So you need high quality free targeted traffic to your website and you’re not sure how to get it? The first and most important way is no secret. Don’t click away once I tell you the first thing you need to do is to generate traffic because I’m going to tell you why.

You MUST post articles. Each article that I have previously posted that directed back to my first free niche site generated 300 high quality free targeted traffic each month. Now let me show you how to use this information. You have one topic and article. You choose a long tale keyword title and submit this original content to Ezine for approval. Remember that you must submit high quality, original and unique content. This isn’t that hard and it cost you no money. Next you take the same topic, choose a new long tale keyword title, spin the content of the original article so that it stays unique and original. Now you submit this one to another top rated ezine. Repeat the process and submit to yet another top rated ezine. You have basically taken one topic and turned it into 3 articles and 3 keyword searches. For 30 mins of work you have generated ~900 high quality free targeted visitors to your site each and every month until you take the articles down. This will continue each and every month. Repeat the process until you are getting the amount of traffic you want.

Just to give you and idea of the impact. If you spend 5 hours a week on this just for one month, you will generate 1000 high quality free targeted visitors to your site per day. Not just for the month that you did the work, but each and every month even if you do nothing else.

**Remember that each submission must be unique and original content. You should not cut and paste the same article to all three ezines**

Keyword Research

The best way to achieve search engine dominance is by focusing on keyword research. As a search engine optimization consultant, I’ve worked with hundreds of companies that miss this very important step. Achieving top search engine rankings is largely based on the competitiveness of the keyword phrase you are trying to optimize for. If your competitor is in the top spot with a well entrenched web site, then your chances of out ranking him may be limited.

In addition to focusing on a keyword phrase that doesn’t have strong competition, you need to find terms that are frequently searched on. I recently finished a consulting assignment for a foundation trying to optimize their website. They had top rankings for a keyword term that seemed to be somewhat desirable. However, keyword research proved that the term received less than 100 searches per month. As a result, top rankings for this keyword phrase were nearly meaningless.

Once you have found a keyword phrase that isn’t too competitive and receives an adequate number of monthly searches, the next step is to thoroughly check out your competition. Google the keyword phrases you want to optimize for a run a back link check on the top three ranked web sites. This indicates the strength of those web sites relative to their search engine ranking. The more links, the more difficult it will be to rank higher than they do without some type of sustained link building campaign.

After doing your keyword research and confirming your choice of keywords and keyword phrases, it’s time to focus on improving your web pages around the keywords you’ve selected. Enhance your meta tags, titles, and web copy to include your keyword phrases. This helps to tell the search engines what your web site is about so it can rank your site appropriately. In addition to the on page factors, Google weighs off page factors to determine web site ranking.

Off page optimization requires a sustained effort that uses new content and additional links from third party websites. The most effective strategies are the most basic. Begin with a link building plan. Focus on article directories, web site directories, blogs, social bookmarking sites, and other resources where you can establish in bound links.

Your plan should include daily, weekly and monthly tasks that can attract links from authority websites consistently over time. Your goal should not be to generate thousands of inbound links quickly because Google will penalize your website. Rather, focus on steady link building.

If you want to improve your organic search engine ranking, begin with keyword research. By selecting the right keywords, you’ll be able to optimize your website more quickly than your competitors. After choosing the right keywords, focus on integrating your chosen keywords into your web site. Then you’re ready for link building and other off page optimization tactics that significantly improve rankings.

Link Building With Blog Commenting

Do you know that you can achieve higher search rankings with blog commenting? Blog comments can be an effective link building method if you do it right.

Among all the link building methods, blog commenting is perhaps the most frowned upon. That is because this method has been blatantly abused by many so-called SEO experts. They use automated software  to spam nonsensical comments on blogs.

Now the reason why blogs allow comments is to encourage healthy discussions. So comments should be intelligent and relevant to the blog post. Otherwise, it’s considered spam. Using software to post to one thousand innocent blogs with the comments “nice post” is definitely not an acceptable practice. So what then, is an acceptable practice?

Blog commenting is acceptable when the comments are posted by human beings. If you are interested in the post, and genuinely have something to share, then it’s okay to post some comments on the blog. In other words, you are indirectly adding value to the websites with your comments. That is acceptable practice. Once your comments are approved, your links will appear on the blog posts.

Many webmasters
are insistent that the links have the “NoFollow” attribute assigned to them, so they are useless for SEO. Bear in mind that comments are not meant for SEO, advertising, and link building. They are meant for discussions. Due to the amount of spam on these blogs, search engines have no choice but to put in some kind of algorithm to help detect spammy links. But if you are commenting as a human writer, you have nothing to worry about. The search engines always reward content that are written by humans for other human readers. Here are 3 simple steps to get higher approval rates for your blog comments.

Step 1: Select only relevant blogs.

Step 2: Post intelligent comments.

Step 3: Write in a personal style.

Step 1: Select only relevant blogs.

Don’t post to hundreds of blogs that are irrelevant to your own website. Select only relevant blogs. You can easily get a list of blog URLs from the search engines.

Step 2: Post intelligent comments.

Please do read the post content before writing any comments. Also, spend some time to see what others have written on the blog post. Whenever possible, try to join in the discussion. Don’t post some kind of off-topic comment. That will just tick people off.

Step 3: Write in a personal style.

Many blogs are personal websites. So writing in a personal style would be ideal. Your goal here is to make new friends and if possible, build a relationship with the bloggers. On the Internet, you need partners to be successful. So write with the intention of building and growing relationships. You wouldn’t spam a friend’s blog would you?

When you follow the tips aboveFree Web Content, your links will grow naturally in the blogosphere. You will notice your rankings improving gradually in the search engines.

Menurut saya, salah satu layanan penting yang harus ada pada setiap website adalah online help, dimana pelanggan atau calon pembeli dapat langsung berintersaksi dengan penjual.

Upgrade (Update) WordPress secara Manual

WordPress dan Plugins-nya secara berkala merilis versi terbaru untuk perbaikan atau menambah fungsi masing-masing.

WordPress menyediakan 2 cara untuk melakukan upgrade. Automatic Upgrade dan Manual Upgrade.

Upgrade secara otomatis bisa dilakukan langsung pada halaman wp-admin. Namun dari pengalaman; upgrade otomatis ini sering kali gagal, bahkan saya belum pernah sekalipun berhasil. Berbeda jika saya melakukan upgrade otomatis pada plugins, selalu sukses. Jika teman-teman tahu kenapa saya selalu gagal upgrade wordpress secara otomatis let me know yach!! : )

Karena selalu gagal dengan automatic upgrade, pilihan saya tinggal manual upgrade. Berikut yang saya lakukan untuk manual upgrade:

1. Backup. Harus!! Untuk mencegah hal-hal yang tidak kita inginkan.
2. Download WordPress versi terbaru, kemudian extract.
3. Delete wp-admin dan wp-includes wordpress versi terdahulu. Bisa menggunakan File Manager atau FTP.
4. Upload semua file dari WordPress yang baru, kecuali folder wp-content dan file wp-config-sample.php
5. Ketik pada address bar http://situskamu.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php. Jika sudah enter, ikuti saja instruksi yang ada sampai selesai. Dengan demikian proses upgrade telah berhasil.

Saya sudah berhasil upgrade manual, dan mudah-mudahan kamu juga berhasil. Selamat mencoba : D
