21 Untapped Traffic Sources
Please feel free to add to the list!
1. Submit your Blog to Content Aggregators like AllTop.com and 9Rules.com.
2. High-Profile Content Syndication - As you probably know, simply
submitting you articles to sites like EzineArticles.com is becoming less and less effective. You can get exponentially more results by zoning on in high-profile content syndication - submitting your articles to the top blogs and websites in your niche. For example, here are just a few top-tier websites that accept article contributions:
http://bleacherreport.com
http://mashable.com/writers/
http://www.momsnetwork.com/submit-articles.shtml
http://www.site-reference.com
http://www.betternetworker.com
http://www.current.com
http://www.favorideas.com/submit-wedding-articles/
http://www.associateprograms.com/authors/register
http://seekingalpha.com/page/submit-an-article
http://www.wisebread.com/guest-post
http://www.dumblittleman.com/2006/08/submit-article-to-dlm.html
http://www.lifehack.org/about/contribute
http://articles.mercola.com/submit/
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
No matter what market you’re in, there are very popular websites that you
could be submitting articles to for massive traffic.
3. Guest Blogging - Yes, I realize that most of you have probably already
heard about the power of guest blogging. But how many of you are actually doing it?
4. Trackbacks
5. Blog Commenting - Blog commenting is an extremely powerful strategy
for building traffic and developing relationships with other people in your niche. Click here to find out how one blog comment can bring 230+ unique visitors.
6. Write Tutorials! - Tutorials are a HUGE untapped traffic source online. If you have a website related to graphic design, wordpress, web development, SEO, marketing, or programming, then you can use tutorials
to send thousands of visitors to your website.
This includes sites like:
Instructables.com
Tutorialized.com
Noupe.com
Good-Tutorials.com
Pixel2Life.com
PsLover.com
TutorialKit.com
Tutorial-Index.com
7. Video Responses - This is one of the easiest ways to get hundreds of
extra views on your YouTube videos.
8. Tag Your Videos - If you use the same tags as another related video on YouTube, then you will have a very good chance of appearing in the
related videos in the sidebar of that video, which can send you tons of
extra traffic, especially if it's a popular video.
9. Embed Your Video for Hundreds of Extra Views - You can also embed your video on other sites for hundreds of extra views. This includes sites like WonderHowTo.com, Flixya.com, Uvouch.com, Tagged.com, Vewgle.com, etc...
10. Get More Views on Your EzineArticles by getting in the "Most Viewed" or the "Most Published" section at the end of each article. You can do this by submitting your article to all of the different social bookmarking sites until you are the "most viewed" in your category.
Once your article is placed in the "Most Viewed" section or the "Most
Published" section, it will be placed on every single article within that particular category.
That means extra exposure for your article and more LINK JUICE. The internal linking structure within EzineArticles.com is EXTREMELY powerful
for ranking in Google, giving you a much better chance of ranking for your chosen keyword phrase.
If you want to guarantee your spot in the “Most Viewed” section you can
use StumbleUpon advertising, which is just 5 cents per view. This is one
of the simplest ways to get your article in the “Most Viewed” section.
Plus, by using StumbleUpon, you’re also driving lots of targeted traffic to your article and increasing your exposure.
11. Cool Site of The Day - Do you have a cool website? If so, you can
submit it to Cool Site of the Day. If chosen, you will receive thousands
of visitors to your website.
12. Coupons - If your site offers coupons of any kind, you can submit
your site to hundreds of different coupon directories online for
additional exposure and traffic.
For a complete list of coupon sites, go to…

13. Twitter Traffic
14. Free WSO's for building your list
15. JV Giveways
16. Host your Own JV Giveaways
17. Ad Swaps
18. Use a Contest to Double Your List Size - I'm always surprised at how
few people use this technique.
Clayton Makepeace, one of the smartest marketers online, has used this
technique quite effectively.
This technique allows you to leverage your exisiting list in order to add
thousands of additional subscribers.
19. Amazon Mechanical Turk - Many people do not realize it’s potential
marketing power. You can use MTurk to get people to submit your articles
to social bookmarking sites, Stumbles, Diggs, YouTube votes, YouTube
comments, etc…
20. SocialElves - If you've ever wanted to get on the front page of Digg,
SocialElves.com can help you do it. They are one of the first to offer
truly organic marketing campaigns on Digg.com. If you’d like to get more
exposure on your content WITHOUT having to spend months developing power profiles on all the different social media sites, then I would highly
suggest you check out SocialElves.com
21. Buy Existing Websites - I’m always surprised how few people are
buying existing websites online. You can easily buy an untapped website
and quickly turn it into an automatic lead machine for pennies on the
dollar.

Top Five Facebook SEO tips
Countless internet marketers are turning to social networking sites to achieve search engine optimization. While this was a foreign notion only a few years ago, major sites such as Facebook are playing a vital role in google rankings. Here are five key areas all Facebook users should consider.
1. Search results continue to include people’s profiles as well as pertinent pages, groups and applications. Pages have fans whereas groups have members, however, both work in a similar fashion. A page for a business or small organization can be made in a matter of minutes as yet so many marketers overlook this facet.
2. Facebook gives us some clues regarding its algorithmic ranking factors. Be sure to read it and understand its meaning. Also stay up to speed on changes in the Facebook blogs they will certainly occur. Hopefully as Facebook grows they’ll make a search quality team ambassador available like Google’s Matt Cutts and Bing’s Sasi Parthasarathy. As people learn to spam these results, Facebook will react and SEOs will want more information.
3. In addition to wall posts, think SEO in tendering status updates, links and notes. You never know who will find it, searching for whatever. These are probably the simplest and fastest means of including relevant links and keywords.
4. Wall posts and external content like blog posts and news should be optimized for important keywords, especially the content’s title tag. If possible post content where the call to action and/or contact information is actually in the title tag. This gets your pitch to the search results as opposed to requiring a second click through to a profile page.
5. If you want your promotional data indexed in the wider Facebook, outside of your friends, make sure you select “everyone” in the privacy settings. Though it is possible users might not be happy if they were aware, existing accounts default to “everyone,” understanding this is a cool inside tip for early success.
By really digging deep into how Facebook is searching internal content, you’ll be tapping into the next level of the web’s development, uncovering a gold mine of data about what people are talking about, what they like and dislike, and how they are influencing the opinions of others. This is clearly an important search frontier.

Free Internet Advertising and Marketing Tips For Work From Home Business Success
Have you been pursuing online business opportunity success but not really getting anywhere? Many people don't understand that success with an online home-based business is about marketing online...successfully that is. While there are a plethora of sources out there that will tell you what free online advertising resources to use, not many really show you a definitive strategy for using free online advertising to truly achieve work from home success. I'm going to share the exact free online advertising plan I've used for generating consistent quality traffic to my websites, quality leads for my home-based business, and to make money consistently online...all for free.
To succeed with free online advertising in your work from home business you need to establish a definite marketing game plan. You can't just 'wing' it daily or weekly in your marketing and expect effective results. Here's a definitive marketing game plan using the three top free online advertising sources:
· Forum Posting (with signature link): 3-6 post daily
· Articles: 2-3 weekly
· Videos: 1 bi-weekly
Using that marketing game plan, with only those three online advertising methods, you can create an internet presence that will consistently drive traffic to your websites and grow your home-based business successfully. Now, don't fret if you can't follow it exactly. The idea is that you want to layout something similar that fits your schedule. Someone that works from home full-time will have more time than someone that is working from home part-time, however either way you need a definitive marketing plan that you can follow without fail in order to succeed with working from home in an online business.
Before delving into a technique to make free online advertising work extremely well, first let me share with you a couple of free online advertising strategies I don't put at the top of my list. Safelist and traffic exchanges; Most people starting out in a home-based business run to those free online advertising resources in hope of growing their business but I have not found them to be overall effective, especially long term, compared to the first three I mentioned. I'm not saying don't use them never, but if you stay away from them you won't miss out on much either.
The thing about safelists and traffic exchanges is they fail to bring you organic quality traffic long term that can consistently grow your work from home business. Nearly everyone on the safelists and traffic exchanges are tied up and focused on promoting some other opportunity and just clicking on your site for credits to get free advertising. I find putting that same "clicking time" into the first three free online advertising sources listed above will serve one much better and will bring one much better results, especially long term. There are of course many other free online advertising that one can use to drive traffic to their website, but I personally know those key three ones stated work wonders.
With forum posting, articles, and videos you are not just spending you wheels with a "one-shot" ad hoping of getting traffic to your website. When you effectively advertise using those top three methods you are essentially creating an ad for your home business website that last indefinitely. I regularly get leads for my business and traffic to my websites from forum post, articles and videos that I did a long time ago. Thus, even if one takes a break or a vacation those top three free online advertising sources can still bring you website traffic while on break, compared to other "one-shot" free online advertising places. The forum posting, articles and videos generally remain ever present on the internet waiting to be accessed in accords with what someone is searching for online therefore continuing to bring you website traffic for free.
Here's a technique to empower your marketing game plan using free online advertising to succeed with your home-based business. Start a blog. Yes, it's that simple. Many people will use the top three free online advertising sources stated above and only drive traffic to their business opportunity website. While that is fine sometimes, I've found that if you link to a blog you can then provide other viable information and links on the blog that may be of interest to people that may or may not be interested in your online home-based business from a first glance at your business opportunity website. Additionally, having a blog will help drive traffic to any videos you may have better than just listing them on top video sites that subsequently leads people back to your business opportunity website.
So start a work from home blog of some sort, for example, and use that to link to your home-based business website and other web content about your online home-based business. This will help you create an online presence that will continue to help you business grow, and make you money, all from free online advertising and marketing.

How To Generate Ideas For Your Internet Marketing Articles
Writing a "how to" or an informative article can be a great way to establish yourself as an internet marketing authority, while at the same time generating free leads for your business. For this reason, if you're a newbie internet marketer I recommend writing one new article a day. It can be quite difficult however to constantly come up with new article topics. Listed below are some methods I use to come up with article topics.
1) Write About a Marketing Method You Use
If you're new to the internet marketing industry, whichever company you've joined will ideally have provided you with full training on marketing strategies. Do you market with Facebook? Twitter? Listjoe? Articles? Press Relseases? Google AdWords? Marketing strategies alone should give you 10 or 15 solid article topics. Simply write a "how to" article describing how to use each method for marketing purposes. You really don't need a lot of experience to do this. There are so many people out there right now who have no clue on how to do any of this that you're already ahead of the game if you have any background in it at all.
2) Read a Marketing-Related Book
The book doesn't have to be purely an internet marketing-based book... it could be a book on how to run a business, business and mindset (one VERY important variable in succeeding in this industry is mindset, and there are plenty of books on the topic), or anything else somehow related to succeeding as an internet marketer. I was recently speaking to a friend who mentioned a chapter in a book he was reading called "The 10 000 Hour Rule". The 10 000 rule (based on fact) states that to become world-class at anything you will need to have spent about 10 000 doing whatever "anything" is. This apparently applies to literally almost anything... becoming a world class guitar player, hockey player, chef... internet marketer. Anyway, that's not the point here. The point here is that an article on this topic could easily be written and related to succeeding in the internet marketing industry. So open the nearest marketing-related book, go to a random chapter, and chances are you can likely write an article on the chapter topic. I am not advocating plagiarism... give credit where credit is due of course.
3) Expand on Previous Topics
It's likely whichever articles you've written contain subtopics. A great way to generate new article topics is to expand on a subtopic of a previous article. Have you written about social media? Then maybe you want to write an article about each individual social media site. Then perhaps there's a specific topic about each site you'd like to expand upon. This method can be incredibly useful in producing a large number of new topics when you're stuck for ideas.
4) Read Other Internet Marketing Articles
Again this is not to say that you should plagiarize. Simply seeing what other people have written about can have you generating ideas you wouldn't have thought of otherwise. Researching articles of specific people can also be great for coming up with ideas. If you know of any top producers in the industry, or people who do particularly well with article marketing, see what they've been writing about.
5) Speak to Other People in the Industry
Attend your company's live training or simply speak to other members of your company. I've come up with a few good ideas simply by chance through talking to my peers, i.e. the 10 000 hour rule (above). Additionally, your company's live training should expand on training methods you're currently using, which should give you other ideas on what you can write about.
6) Read the News
It's no secret that the economy isn't in such great shape right now, but reading the news can give you specific ideas about what is currently happening. Is a specific sector or company doing particularly poorly at the moment? What's one solution for people working in that company or sector? Starting a home based business in the internet marketing industry. Tagging your articles with keywords related to current events (keywords that people are searching for a lot) can help to generate a lot of views for such articles.
You should be able to come up with many solid article topics using the methods listed above. If you're truly stuck, brainstorming should never be underestimated as well. Once you come up with a fresh new idea you may be able to expand upon it and create several more new articles.

How To Increase Your Home Based Mlm Business Opportunity Leads Using Articles - 6 Hot Tips
If you want to create some highly targeted leads for your home based MLM business opportunity, I recommend writing Articles. This strategy allows you to make a connection with your reader by providing valuable content to help their business.
In return your reader is offered an option to visit your website where you can then convert the article reader to an MLM network marketing lead. This article will give you 5 tips on how you can achieve this:
1) An interesting Article Title: The first thing your reader will see is the article title, so you need to make this eye catching. I suggest creating long article titles to make your title stick out from the rest. Also include numbers like - 5 Tips to, within 90 days, 10 ways to, etc. This will generate interest in your article.
2) Useful content: The content of your articles is very important. If you are lazy you may think you can simply write any old article and submit it to an article directory and wait for the traffic. Unfortunately it is not that easy. Two problems with that approach, the article directory probably will not publish the article and secondly if it is published you will probably not get many readers.
The tip here is to create useful articles for people specific to your business. For example I have a home based MLM business opportunity and passionate about the industry. Therefore I focus all of my articles around this topic.
I know the struggles of Network marketers because I have shared their struggles. So I know what content can help them succeed. So my first tip to you is write useful, specific content to your businesses target audience. 3) Consistency: My next tip is to be consistent with your articles. If you want to generate some regular leads to your business you need to have a regular flow of articles. I would suggest writing at least 5 articles a weeks. So you could work Monday to Friday and write one article a day.
4) Short and to the point: When you are writing your articles my advice is to keep your article short and to the point. The concentration span of most article readers is short. If you attempt to write a very long article and waffle on, your reader will not bother to read the whole article. You want your readers to read the whole article, love it and then look for more information about you.
5) Resource Box: This is the link back to your website. I would suggest having an MLM network marketing lead capture page that will give your reader an option to leave their details so you can contact them with more helpful content or offers.
6) Sales funnel: Once you have converted your article reader to a home based MLM business opportunity lead it is important to have an effective sales funnel to maximize the value of the MLM network marketing lead. The right sales funnel will allow you to incorporate a number of income streams as well as your primary business.
If you follow these tips on Article marketing you will be able to understand how you can generate more leads into your business using articles. I wish you success with your marketing.
If you want to create some highly targeted leads for your home based MLM business opportunity, I recommend writing Articles. This strategy allows you to make a connection with your reader by providing valuable content to help their business.

Stop Wasting Money On Google. Use Articles And Blogs To Boost Your Website Ranking.
With the website tracking you have implemented, you have been able to fine-tune your campaign so that you now have a fairly good idea about who you're marketing to, what they're searching for and the highest converting and traffic keywords. You have also been able to slowly reduce your CPC (cost per click) down to a more reasonable level.
But like all good businesses, you are constantly looking for ways to improve on your ROI which in the world of internet marketing means higher click rates. You should also be fully aware that you need to know how to monetize the traffic you are generating from your website. Traffic means nothing if you're not doing anything with it.
There are a multitude of free ways to improve your search engine ranking so that you're on the first page (and hopefully first position) on your relevant keyword search results.
In this article I'm going to go through the main ways in which you can do this. The most common term used for this is Search Engine Optimisation or SEO.
A search engine's primary purpose is to serve the user the closest match and most relevant information for any given keyword search. Search engines reward websites that have good quality, relevant information with high search rankings.
One of the ways that a search engine ranks a website is by the number of unique links the website has from other websites. From the search engine point of view, this is an indication that the website must have something of value to other websites.
There are some important key things you must always understand to have an effective SE marketing strategy.
1. Provide valuable, relevant content. Don't just fill your site with non-relevant garbage. All articles on your website should be relevant and consistent to what your website is about. It is very easy to download hundreds of articles for free and pad out your website with them, but people will soon find out that the information you're providing is non-relevant and won't bother visiting.
People need to be interested in the articles or else they won't link to your website and you won't build your rankings. This takes time...as I seem to keep mentioning in my articles..."Rome wasn't built in day." Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with using free articles, but the least you can do is filter out any non-relevant stuff.
2. Add content to your website regularly. Don't expect to be able to add 1000 articles to your website in one go and expect a 1st position ranking in Google overnight. To get a high ranking using these free techniques takes time. Try to think of your internet business as an organic thing like an oak seed. It might take a while before you see any results, but given a bit of time and attention, it will grow into something massive and long lasting.
Weblogging (or blogging) is probably the easiest way to add content regularly.
Specifically designed websites called weblogs or blogs allow for easy and regular posting of articles. One of the most popular platforms used today can be found at www.wordpress.com. In fact, this blog is being hosted by them.
When writing your articles, make sure the content is relevant to your website and make sure it will interest whoever is reading it. Make sure that the article has links back to your other websites, be they your personal website or your lead capture pages, so that you are encouraging people to click them and so build up your authority status and keep the search engines happy.
Remember, search engines sole purpose is to provide people with the best quality and most relevant information possible. If you are doing that, they will reward you with a higher search engine ranking.
3. Get your articles published by as many other websites as possible. It is important to throw your net wide and get a large variety of different websites linking back to your websites. Use syndication sites, reprint rights, press releases and article distribution sites to get your articles published by other websites, so that you can steadily build up your search ranking.
How do you do this? In actual fact, this blog is a form of syndication. A popular method is to use RSS, which allows subscribers to be instantly notified of any new updates. You can also publish articles using article submission sites like www.ezinearticles.com or submityourarticle.com.
So how often should I publish an article or blog?
Well it's really up to you, what your website is and what sort of ranking you want. Approximately 1-8 articles a month is optimal, but never more than this. Publishers soon get tired of numerous articles from the same author. The key is consistency. Submit an article a few times a month, every month, and you should see results in just a few months.
Because blogs and articles are a simple and effective way to get content out onto the internet, they can be misused and abused by people flooding blog sites with complete rubbish using automated scripts in an attempt to boost their search engine rankings. People want content that is interesting and relevant and will soon get bored and annoyed with sites that have obviously gone for the quick and dirty approach to providing relevant content.
