This is where I will list my step-by-step traffic-getting strategies for getting more traffic to your websites and blogs.
I call it my Traffic-Getting Jumpstart™ Master Plan.
I’ll start by adding a general outline and then I’ll come back and keep updating it with links to new videos and tutorials as I produce them… the videos and tutorials will that walk you through my “traffic getting” strategies one-by-one .
Not all of them will be posted on my blog.
Some will only be sent out via email so make sure you keep checking your inbox for my new and exclusive Traffic-Getting Tutorials.
Once again: This is the general process that I personally go through to ramp up traffic on a new blog.
Some, but not all of the techniques will also apply to static sites, social networking profile pages, or non-blog websites of any kind.
Each of the steps will be listed but not all of them will have tutorials… at least not for now.
But if you guys see one particular step that you’d like me to jump-forward to and “just create the damn tutorial now”… just leave a comment telling me so and I’ll see what I can do.
Here are the basic “Traffic-Getting Jumpstart™ Master Plan” steps that you should follow.
Remember, it’s knowing how to scale this out and leverage both technology and people to scale this out but everything can be done by just one person if you choose to… just don’t expect an avalanche of traffic for two hours worth of work on a site with only 10 pages in a market that no one cares about!
Always learn how to scale things out by leveraging technology and people… and pick highly competitive markets that people are actively searching for.
DO NOT USE THESE TECHNIQUES FOR SPAMMING THE SEARCH ENGINES!
There’s a fine line between using this technology and techniques to increase your traffic… and using it to spam the hell out of the engines… don’t cross that line.
We are simply trying to increase awareness of, and increase traffic to, our sites leveraging the viral nature of blogs and web 2.0 sites and technologies.
That having been said:
Here’s my quick “2 hours or less”:
Traffic-Getting Jumpstart Master Plan
3. Install the Free SEO Blog Software
5. Install the banner ads, affiliate program ads, etc
6. Set up the email capture and first few follow up emails
7. Add content to blog
a. Run a social bookmarking campaign on blog with one group of bookmarking accounts logins and at different times and days.
b. Create supporting micro-sites mini-network (social profile pages at squidoo, hubpages, bumpzee, and small static hand built sites).
c. Run a social bookmarking campaign on your micro-sites mini-network with a different set of bookmarking logins and at different times and days.
8. Submit site to SEO friendly directories sites using directory submission services.
9. Create video
a. Distribute video with video sharing software
b. Run a social bookmarking campaign on the videos sharing pages.
Steps 1 – 9 are enough to jumpstart the traffic to your new blog, static website, ecommerce website… and it only takes an hour or two.
If this is a site or market that you know is worth spending additional time on then you can follow these additional steps.
The following steps don’t take that much additional time but should, and can easily be, outsourced.
10. Every month (or sooner) go back and run the social bookmarking campaign again using new social bookmarking logins at different times and days.
11. Every month (or sooner) go back and create a new micro-site or social profile page to support your micro-sites mini-network.
12. Add posts to the blog that link/pingback to other authority blogs in the market.
13. Pick specific posts on your blog that you’d like to rank higher.
a. Social bookmark those posts with random bookmarking login accounts
b. Create a videos specific to those posts and load to youtube
c. Blast that video out to video sharing sites
d. Social bookmark the videos on the video sharing sites with random bookmarking logins and at different times and days.
e. Find other authority blogs in the market and post content-rich comments on their blog with links heading back to the post you are trying to rank higher.
You can do the following steps yourself but I would strongly recommend you simply outsource them.
14. Outsource someone to spin articles for you and submit them to directories
15. Outsource someone to create new social bookmarking login accounts
16. Outsource someone to subscribe to your RSS feed and have them social bookmark your new posts (the RSS feed notifies them when there is a new post so they simply head over.
17. Outsource someone to post high-quality, relevant comments on other people’s blogs and forums (DO NOT COMMENT SPAM). Concentrate on ones that do not use the “no follow” attribute.
18. Rinse and Repeat steps 7 – 18+ for sites that are worth the effort.
How do you know if the site is worth the effort?
I can’t answer that for you… only you can answer that question since it is your time and money involved… what is “worth it” to you may not be worth it to the next person and vice-versa.
Ask yourself this question… “does this site (sites) add money and/or value to my business versus the time and effort it takes to rinse and repeat Jeff Johnson’s Traffic-Getting Jumpstart Master Plan?”
If the answer is “yes” then continue to “rinse and repeat” steps 7 through 18 and beyond.
And do yourself a favor and reinvest your earnings into your business by outsourcing the work that takes up the most time so you can concentrate on finding new markets and making money from the traffic you have.
I’ll keep emailing you new tutorials down the road so be sure to check your inbox for updates,
