Getting Internet Traffic 5 : Another Blog Explosion

There is another program, named BlogSoldiers. It has similar concept as BlogExplosion mentioned in the previous post - Getting Traffic 4 : Blog Explosion. The only difference is that in BlogSoldiers, you need to click on the random symbols instead of numbers.

In addition, the ratio of websites visited to traffic directed to your site is 2:1, which means for every 2 website you visit, BlogSoldiers will direct 1 surfer to your site. If this ratio is too low, you can choose to pay a small fee to change the ratio to 1:1 - for every website you visit, a surfer will be directed to your website.

Getting Internet Traffic 3 : Things To Avoid Doing

By this time if you have read through my archive, you should be getting a respectable income regularly by now. As your income is growing, I understand that some of you have the tendency try out certain ways or tactics which you think can increase your web-site's internet traffic. However, do note that there are certain things which you definitely want to avoid doing, as it can potentially result you in being banned from Google (being banned from Google will mean your website address, or URL, will not appear in the search result - your website being deleted from Google database). Thus, I will list down some of the common mistakes people do online to increase their traffic.

1. The Invisible Words
   
• If you have read my previous post, Getting Internet Traffic 2 : Increase Your Google's PageRank, you should know that by having more relevant keywords on your site, the higher your Google's PageRank will be when someone Google for the relevant keywords at the search engine. Now, how about making a chunk of relevant keywords somewhere at the site and make them invisible by setting their color the same as the background? For example, this sentence is made invisible by making them the same color as the background ( <- highlight this sentence to make it visible). Won't it be great ?
• But hold on, Google's bot is smart enough to detect this kind of trick and the end result is not a higher Google PageRank, but a site banned. So, don't every try this.
  
  
2. Keyword Stuffing
• Another tick you might thought of could be making a nonsense paragraph fulfilled with repetitive keywords and place it somewhere on your site where visitors will not be bothered by it. For example, if your site specialized in selling photo, you might have the tendency to construct this kind of sentence - this photo is a good photo as this photo is a photo showing a photo of photo.
• Now, again, Google's bot will detect this kind of keywords stuffing sentence and penalize your website for it.
  
  
3. Doorway Pages
   
   • Creating another alternative site to direct the audience to your main site is against the rule set by the various search engines' bot as well. Doorway pages are defined as pages designed for a specific keywords or phrase; pages that don't have anyone pointing to them but only points to your main site's homepage.
   • For example, if your website is selling shoes, you created another website that focused on selling shoe lace. Thus, you make it highly relevant to anyone searching for shoelace in Google. But in there, it is just links that take the visitors to your main site. This is a form of doorway pages - just another door to your main site.
   • If you really need to create another website that is complement to your main website, but not serve as doorway pages, try adding other links on the website other than your main website link.
     


4. Having Too Many Offsite Links
• Having too many links on your site that link to other sites outside of your domain will trigger a alarm in the various search engines' bot. The search engines' bot will think of your site as a link farm (a link farm website is a useless website designed to include as many link on it as possible that links to other website.)
  
• So, try limiting your website links that point to offsite (website outside of your domain. For example, for this blog, anything that starts with http://deltaswat.blogspot.com is considered in the same domain.)

5. Duplicated Contents Somewhere Else

• Applying the term 'divide and conquer' into website making? Better don't. Search engine will penalize any sites that has almost over 90% similar content. Well, it is a good trick to put up as many sites as possible that serve the same purpose, be it selling a shoe or sharing of information. However, a better alternative is to change the layout, content and pictures of the other site, so that it won't trigger the alarm in the search engine bots.

Alright folks, I hope these tips have helped you become more aware of how the various search engines' bot penalize or delete websites from their database. Stick to these to avoid facing the same fate!

Getting Internet Traffic 2 : Increasing Your Google PageRank

If you have read follow the steps mentioned in my previous post 'Getting Internet Traffic 1 : Submitting Your URL', your site should be up in the search engine database by now; if not, you have to give it a couple of days more.

Now, after submitting your web-site's address, you might be wondering "How can I let my web-site's address appear in the first few results of the search?" Well, it is definitely something you want to think about; think about it, how often will you look at the results beyond the second pages of the Google search result?

Thus, you definitely want to get your web-site to appear in the first page, or even in the first few search results. You will need to increase your GooglePage Rank (Read Getting Internet Traffic 2: How Google Works?) and here is how you do it:

1. Submitting Your Site to Search Engines & Directories
• Check my previous post 'Getting Internet Traffic 1 : Submitting Your URL'
2. Increase Backlinks
   
• To achieve a higher Google PageRank, you need to have more links linking to you (know as backlink). For example, A and B are both website talking about "How to kick a ball". However, there are 50 other websites which has link that links to website A (known as backlink) while website B has 25 backlinks to it, a user searching for "How to kick a ball" in the Google search engine will have website A appearing at the top and website B will be appear at the bottom of the search result.
  
• The reason is simple, Google assume that when your website receive more backlink from other websites, it is significantly more important, since more websites are referring, quoting or mentioning your website.
• What are the ways to increase backlinks? Continue reading.
  
3. Active Online Participation
• Participate actively in forum, Yahoo! Answer and other form of activities which has a lot of people visiting. For example, you can try visiting forum which has similar topics to your blog. If your blog is about kicking soccer ball, then you can hunt for forum with similar topic and start to post opinions, answer questions or even ask questions in the forum.
• The trick here is, put your website URL below your signature when you are signing off your message. For example:

Best Regards,
Deltaswat
Earn Money Online : http://deltaswat.blogspot.com/

• In this way, people reading your post will know about your website and they might click on the link provided if you make good post in the forum. Furthermore, you are actually creating backlinks for your website, as now it has backlinks coming from the forum you participate at. Amazing isn't it? You are killing two birds with one stone.
• Start now by participating in forums which has similar topics to your website!

4. More Revelant Keywords

• Website which has more relevant keywords will appear higher in the search result. Back to the example on website A and B - if both website A and B as the same number of backlinks, but website A has more frequent of keywords such as "How to Kick A Ball", then website A will have a higher Goggle PageRank.
• Again, Google assume that a more relevant website will have more keywords repeated in the website.
• However, do not repeat the keywords too frequently, as Goggle will delete your site from it's database your site appear suspicious (by having too many keywords repeated).

Getting Internet Traffic 1 : Submitting Your URL

Have you tried searching for your own site/blog using the various search engine such as Google, MSN Live, Yahoo etc. and found that some of the search engine didn't even have your site URL (Uniform Resource Locator,a text-based address used to identify specific resources on the Internet, such as web pages. - or in short, your website address) in the search result? Well, this is because your site's URL is not even in their database!

For any website to survive, it must have internet traffic. Internet traffic is a term used to describe how much visitors a site received daily. There are a lot of advantageous of having a high internet traffic. With more visitors, the chances of them clicking on the Adsense advertisements will be higher, which means you will get more money! In addition, Pay Per Post will be paying you more for each post you make about the advertisers, as you command high internet traffic. In addition, you can get more referrals for the various Paid-To-Click (PTC) or Paid-To-Do (PTD)

But before all these, you will have to make sure that the various major search engines out there has your website address in their database. If someone search for your site at search engine and no result appear, your site doesn't exits. Basically, each search engine will have it's own bot and it will crawl through the internet to update the website it's database and at the same time identify new websites so as to include them into it. However, it might take a long time before they even crawl through your site. To facilitate the process, you can take the first step by submitting your site's URL to them for them to crawl.
