We Coach Success
If you have a blog and would like to learn a quick and easy way for getting free traffic and search engine rankings, this article shows you everything you wanted to know, step-by-step.
Before we move forward I want to talk about getting traffic and why most bloggers get it wrong.
Up to 89% of blog owners think about traffic as hits, and put people alltogether. They’re looking at traffic as statistics, and forget the basics – at the end of the other line there’s a breathing human being; with probably the same problems, wants and needs as you.
If these bloggers would not look at traffic as hits, and will give thought on who they really want to attract, and who are they really talking to on their blog, traffic generating won’t seem hard anymore.
Yes, for most bloggers traffic generation is rocket-science.
When you master the basics, blogging for traffic will seem a total breeze. Just look around, and notice the pro bloggers out there. Do you think they’re hunting for traffic? Not at all; they’re probably not actively generating traffic. They make traffic work for them.
Here is an illustration to make my point across:
Imagine blogger A [the newbie] on the other side of the road… trying to attract the attention of the audience [the cars on the street and folks around] holding a BIG red sign “Visit my blog ->”
Now picture blogger B [the professional] who has an entire army of people and cars advertising on his behalf, all across the road.
89% of bloggers are trying too hard to get their traffic; they’re publishing articles and writing blog posts; dabbling with SEO, Twittering, forum marketing, and so on.
A small percentage of the bloggers out there recognize the power of leveraging so they’re taking advantage of other people’s traffic, rankings and authority.
If you want to get on the boat of pro bloggers, then you have to act like they act and do what they do:
Step #1 – think BIG and keep your focus [know who are you really talking with; who's your ideal client?]
Step #2 – run interviews, ad swaps and blog roll exchanges with like-minded bloggers in your field and industry
Step #3 – never pay for advertising unless you have your metrics tested and proven [for e.g. you know exactly your visitor value - click and lead revenue]
If you know that for each visitor to your blog, you’re making $1 a month on average, then you probably could afford to pay 50 cents per unique visitor; you’d reap half a dollar as profit, right?

What Everybody Ought to Know About info Domains
A .info domain is a generic TLD , which stands for top level domain. The .info extension stands for .information and they were developed to be used for information websites. The domain is used for many purposes since there is no restriction on its use like .edu and .gov TLD. The .info domain was part of the ICANN release of new domains in 2000. It was meant to be an alternative option to the traditional domains, like the .com, .org, and .net, which were becoming over crowded.
The .info TLD has a reputation of being used by black hat SEOs to generate spam sites. This does not mean all .info domain websites are spam, but many spammers use .info domains due to their low cost. They’re able to buy hundreds or thousands of domains at a fraction of the cost of .com domains. Since spammers work high volume for success, .info domains a strong option.
The domain has been highly successful. The .info TLD has millions of registrations. One great benefit of the .info domain is that it is usually cheaper than a .com domain. During the early summer of 2008, Godaddy provided a sale where .info domains were sold for 99 cents.
Recently the 99 cent .info domain sale at Godaddy changed the domain landscape. Spammers purchased thousands of domains during the sale and Google was flooded with .info spam sites. Although Google does not admit to treating various .tld differently, Internet marketers started to see an effect on Google’s treatment of .info domains. Google seemed to raise the bar a little for .info. Many .info domains were having a hard time with indexing and rankings. Google seemed to be treating these domains differently in an attempt to slow down spammers.
This change has be seen by those running .info BANS sites. BANS is a store script called Build A Niche Store and can be used to promote the eBay affiliate program. Many Internet marketers have had a difficult time getting their .info BANS to index and rank. The change seems to be in response to the hundreds of BANS sites flooding SERPS using .info domains. Those who ran their .info domains as thin affiliate sites were having the most problems.
The .info domain is a solid option for anyone wanting to create an informative site or who needs a cheap domain. The domain does have a spam reputation, so extra effort will need to be made to prove the site is legit. As long as your .info is not spam, it will see the same level of success as a website on any other top level domain.
