Home Business Success – not easy, is it?

When I decided to enter the Internet Marketing niche, I knew that the competition was fierce, and that it would be difficult to get noticed.  But it was a niche that I have learned so much about, have a great passion for, and I am not an expert in much else!

How hard could it be!

So you decide on your niche, do your research, listen to your mentor, get your site up and running, do everything you are supposed to do – now what? Read the rest of this entry »

Here are my top 20 recommendations for which web directories you should submit your site to.

Here is the latest post in my traffic generation strategy series of posts.

In addition to the numerous web directories out there, you also need to consider submitting your site to the following:-

• RSS Directories
• Blog Directories
• Niche Blog Directories

As you probably know more and more people are utilizing RSS readers and aggregators to keep themselves informed. RSS is becoming a key distribution channel, so it is definitely worth making the effort of submitting your site.  As with other submissions there are automated software tools available.

As an add on to my previous post ‘My Traffic Generation Strategy – Part 2′ I just wanted to mention Directory Submission Software.

There are basically 3 ways you can submit your site to web directories:-

• Outsource the task
• Submit manually
• Use web submission software

The first one is a relatively cheap way to achieve your submissions

The second way is tedious, frustrating and time consuming.

The third way is a good alternative and I discovered a free directory submission tool which is quite easy to use.  You can use the software for free to submit to 350 sites, and you can upgrade to submit to thousands.

If you have or plan to have more than one blog then it could be cost effective to purchase the software.

Search Engine Submissions vs Web Directory Submissions

Your home business success is based on so many factors, and traffic generation strategies are very important. Web Directory submissions can increase your traffic.

We all submit our blogs to Google via a sitemap, or by directly submitting our URL’s, but not all of us submit to web directories.  When we have submitted our sitemaps,  the Google spiders look for new web pages, and index them according to the relevance it attaches to them, based on various factors such as:-

• Relevance of content
• Organisation of the content
• Navigation and links on your web pages
• Outgoing links and anchor texts
• Incoming links from websites and the page rank of those websites Read the rest of this entry »

I have just begun my traffic generation strategy for this relatively new blog.

I have begun to get a steady flow of visitors, and have got my Google analytics set up.

But what I want to share with you today is one of my traffic strategies, which I will repeat daily.

I joined the MyBlogLog community, and entered my profile and blog details, and began to join some communities, in my niche.

What I will continue to do on a daily basis is join 15 MyBlogLog Communities (15 is the daily limit).

If all the blogs I follow, follow me back then that is a potential 105 new visitors just from ten minutes per day, which is all it takes to join 15 communities. Read the rest of this entry »
