Do You Twitter? Why?
Do You Twitter?
I Twitter, though for the life of me I can’t understand why some people — even my friends — use Twitter the WAY they do.
A very good Internet Marketing guru (a good friend of mine, who shall remain nameless for the moment), twitters constantly. You can find out when he’s going to the store, taking a trip, having dinner with friends. One of the posts he wrote was something like “Mmmm. Barbecuing burgers in the backyard. YUM!”
(I expect another tweet from him just like that one this Labor Day weekend.)
What’s the point of that?
I have no idea.
Some people say it’s so that Read more

On-Page SEO Tips
You’re going to be learning a lot about getting traffic to you site over the next few weeks, but there’s something you need to do first — before you start trying to get that traffic — that will multiply the effect of everything you do.
Before I can tell you that, though, you should understand something…It’s a subtle difference in traffic that some people overlook, but is really very important.
So let me ask you this question…
As part of our traffic building work, we’re going to be getting links from other sites back to your site. So what’s the purpose of getting a link to your site on another site?
There are two. The first is Read more

Consistent Website Traffic vs Nothing vs Overwhelm
Something has stuck in my mind that I want to talk with you about. I’ve got a feeling it’s stuck in your mind, too.
You need traffic — we know that.
But you either don’t know how to get the traffic (Not *enough* information) or you’ve got so many different people/experts/programs, that you don’t know what to do first (Too *much* information).
In other words, you’re overwhelmed. <-- RIGHT?
As a result, you switch from a "free e-course magic potion" to "thousand dollar silver bullet marketing system", hoping and wishing something will stick -- and work -- and deliver the traffic to your site.
But it doesn't.
It doesn't because if you start in one direction, and then change direction, and again, you end up staying in the same place.
Whether you are trying to use SEO
…or try your hand at article marketing
…or Web2 strategies
…or Affiliate Marketing
…or Google Adwords
…or Blogging…
…All GREAT ways to get traffic to your site, by the way…BUT…you Read more

Affiliate Marketing, Articles and Traffic
I’ve got some (srongly) recommended reading for you today…and it’s linked to a way for you to drive NEW TRAFFIC to your site — and also learn about how affiliate marketing works.
Anik Singal is my go-to guy for Affiliate Marketing. He’s the founder of Affiliate Classroom (http://www.MarkPrefers.com/affiliateclassroom), THE place to go to learn how to run an affiliate business.
As you know, the way you earn with affiliate marketing is by getting traffic, and then sending it to a merchant’s site — using your special “affiliate link”. One great way you can get that traffic — and we’ve talked about this a bit over the last couple of weeks — is through article marketing.
With article marketing, you write an article, post it to an article directory, and dozens or hundreds of other website owners post your article onto THEIR site (because they need content for their site). When people visit THEIR site and follow YOUR link and then buy, YOU get paid for the sale.
Nice, eh?
And of course, you can Read more

Getting Closer to a Traffic Solution
Let’s keep talking about traffic, because I think we’re getting closer to a solution.
And I’ve got an important question for you at the end, so please read all the way through and leave your thoughts.
First, an update: I’ve been evaluating some software that might help organize things for you — so you can list your site so people in your industry, or serving the same people, can find you. Of course, the whole system will work better if you can send traffic to someone else, too.
(What comes around goes around, you know.)
But, as David mentioned on my blog, not everyone has enough traffic to give away.
“Nice thought Mark but the fact is that people who only get 1 or 2 or maybe 7 unique visitors a day are reluctant to send them away.”
I’ve got two responses to that. The first response is Read more
