Archive for March, 2008
Setting up a new subscriber optin list in AWeber is prett easy, but there are a few things you need to know, so this video shows you exactly how to do it:
it is a bit longer than usual though, as just over 10 mins, sorry!
wow, yet another busy week, here’s what’s happening/coming/on offer etc…
1. I’ve got 3 new tutorial videos coming, all on how to setup and use aweber, including adding an optin form to a squeeze page or webpage, the first will be posted later today..
2. There’s just one List Building Squeeze page and Branded report left available if you want to get a head start on building your own email subscriber list, you can check it out here:

3. I’ve also just posted one of the biggest “bribe” offers I’ve ever offered over on my Internet Marketing Blog, which I thought I’d better mention here too, as a couple of the “bribes” on offer include getting a pre-built blog, or having me set up a blog for you…
There’s a good reason why I’m making the offer, but you’ll have to go read the post if you want to find out what:
4. I’ve also just posted a simple 7 Day No Website Cash Plan that you might find interesting on my personal “marketing meets life” blog.
You may have noticed that some blogs don’t begin with the usual “www” at the start, this one being an example.
If you try typing in http://www.blogtactics.com in to your browser you will end up back at the http://blogtactics.com version
Why have I done this?
Well Google considers the “www” version and no “www” version of your site as two seperate domains.
Over time, as you get more backlinks to your site, some of those links will point to the non “www” version, and some will point to the “www” version, so in Google’s eyes that pagerank “link juice” is split across two seperate domains, meaning you’re losing out…
Fortunately it’s pretty quick and easy to fix.
There’s two ways of doing it, first you can try simply adding the “no-www” plugin for wordpress. This attempts to update the relevant file (.htaccess) for you with the correct code, but it doesn’t always work, as sometimes your hosting won’t let the plugin have access to the .htaccess file, in which case you need to do it manually, which I’ve covered in the video below..
The default permalink structure that yo get when you install WordPress is NOT very SEO (search engine) friendly and will not help your blog posts to rank well for your chosen keywords in the search engine results.
The “permalink” structure is basically the file structure that wordpress uses to record where you blog posts and pages are stored on your site.
the default option is usually like this:
although you also have two other options:
http://homewebpage.net/2008/03/11/sample-post/
and
http://homewebpage.net/archives/123
Non of these are particularly search engine friendly, I won’t go in to all the reasons why, as this is not a post about SEO, but rather about how to optimise your blog for the best results.
The last option available on the “Options” -> “Permalinks” settings page in the Admin area of your blog is for a custom permalink structure that you can specify yourself.
The best format to use to make your posts search engine friendly is (imho) this:
/%postname%/
At first glance this may not seem to be a very Blog related subject, but as you get better at monetizing your blog you’ll discover that one of the best ways to do so is to get hold of good quality private label products and offer these to your visitors.
Why?
Well instead of just getting a “commission” as you do with affiliate marketing, or a cut of the ad cost as you do with contextual adverts like AdSense, with your own PLR products you get to keep 100% of the profit, so you make more money..
The best PLR products come with a ready made sales page so you can quickly add them to your blog, or a dedicated site if you prefer, and the only difficult bit is adding a payment option so that you can charge your new customers and collect the payments.
The simplest way of doing this is with PayPal, so if you haven’t already signed up for a PayPal account go and do so now, then come back and watch this video to discover just how quick and easy it is to get the html code you need to add the “BuyNow” button to your site and start earning more money by selling your own products…
I’ve been testing out 3 different traffic exchange widgets for blogs for the last few weeks, you can read my findings on my internet marketing product testing blog here:
Blog Traffic Exchange Widget Results
To cut to the chase, my favorite is the RealTraffic Exchange ads widget, so this video will show you how to add the relevant code to your blog and start benefitting from more free targeted visitors.
You can also read why this works so well in the latest post here:

I use quite a few different techniques for driving traffic to my different sites and blogs, although I tend to try different tactics for different sites, the main method that I use for all of my sites is getting one way backlinks from other sites, and automating or outsourcing the process as much as possible to make it a “hands free” process.
I don’t do reciprocal linking at all, I gave up on it over two years ago now, as I simply found it far too time consuming for the value of the links I would get.
For this blog I have concentrated on just a couple of tactics to see how well they work, and I’m obviously fairly pleased with the results, as the site currently gets between 350 to 500 unique visitors each day, on average.
I’ve previously posted about using BlogCarnivals to get traffic, so I thought it was time I posted something about the main method I use to drive new targeted visitors to this site, video submissions.
