Wow Xarex that was an amazing post! Have you considered publishing a few ebooks regarding this subject? You wrote that very well and it was very easy to follow. Hey writing an ebook or two and including a link to your web site could be yet another form of advertising for you.

I've been using Google Adsense for my affiliate program. There are so many out there. But I've been with Google ever since it came out and I trust their products. I've never had a problem with Google [yet].

My site is only in it's first few weeks and I'm already receiving about 160 visitors a day and the numbers are increasing. My website has become my full time job. I am always working on ensuring that there are no bugs, ensuring that new cool features are added, and making sure that content is constantly being added. My next step is actually getting more people to interact with each other on the site! As I said, always work to be done!

Xarex, Man that was one of the best posts and reply's to the issue of boosting web traffic and advertising i've seen in a long while. the suggestion on writing a ebook on the topic is something I think you should do. Awesome work.

I'll keep you in mind next time i need a project launched....

Thanks again for the input it really was top shelf

cheers

although it was a very well written post, the most of the information is very outdated. but the structure does dictate that he can indeed write a successful e-book and even sell it on the warrior forum or clickbank or another place that would get it out there.

site submissions and directories, although usefull in the past, i don't even waste my time with those anymore. search engines are soo good at finding sites naturally(and there are ways to get them to crawl your site within hours now) that site submissions are a waste of time when their que for a site submission can take months before they even get to your site. directory submissions? to me, they are about as usefull as forum profile links. they ARE usefull in their own way still, but there are a lot better ways to get your site noticed or for seo purposes.

web rings are not only outdated, google will penalize a site utilizing a web ring now just like google is starting to penalize sites that utilize a link wheel. the web ring was probably the worst and outdated part of the guide.

link exchanges was the second worst part of the guide because google is penalizing sites that exchange links now. sure, you get advertising on another persons site, it may be worth it if your lucky enough to put a link on the main page of another site, but you will be trading that for a higher serp placement in google. most people are more concerned about how they can get the #1 spot for a keyword. link exchanges will prevent that from happening for sure! there is a way to do link exchanges where you wont be penalized, but the strategy involved is for another post all together....

word of mouth is an EXCELLENT way of getting your website noticed....especially in the examples he gave for social networks. this technique is somewhat old but still works great. this was the best part of his guide for sure! there are many ways you can stratigize the word of mouth technique to where it causes a viral effect. this technique has been used since the www was established and still works today and it's even easier than before with all the social network sites out there. it doesn't concentrate on seo, but it WILL drive traffic faster while waiting for your site to hit the first page for your main keyword.

all his other suggesting are pretty good too and should be read and reread to understand the suggestions better.

anyway, although it was very well written, there was some stuff in there that was very outdated and can actually hurt your site. i personally will NEVER ever in a million years do anything that would ever hinder my site in the search engine rankings where i will receive the most targeted traffic. although some of the suggesting he had was really good suggestions, i would also recomend anyone creating a site, to concentrate on seo first(both on page and off page) and THEN concentrate on driving faster traffic to your site while you move up in the search engine rankings over time. for a personal blog, seo wouldn't matter as much. but if you want to make money from your site, seo will always be #1 and should always be focused on first and foremost.

Media today is fragmented and is becoming even more fragmented each day. As a result, consumers rarely spend the enough time around one medium to receive the same repetition from your message that they would have just a few years ago. If you want to consistently reach them and convert them into revenue producing consumers, you'll need to target them across multiple mediums. Keep in mind that there is a delicate balance in doing this. It is just as ineffective to spread your message across too many mediums as it is to focus on just one medium.
