Creating PDF Files with Open Office for Free Traffic
I’m going to be making a couple of posts over the next week to share some useful free resources, one of which is the excellent Office suite OpenOffice, which is free!
OpenOffice includes a really quick and easy function for creating pdf files, so I thought I’d make a quick video to not only show how easy it is to create pdf’s with OpenOffice, but also why it can be a really cool thing to do for your blog, because if you do it the right way you can end up with extra results in Google and get more free traffic, which is always cool!
Have a go with your next blog post, or just grab and old one to try it with!
Update: as mentioned in one of the comments below (thanks Dean) there’s a newer version of Free Office Sutie called LibreOffice
I’m a VERY big fan of using video submissions to get traffic, I’ve used it a lot and I’ve always had great results, and the traffic in my experience is long term, so it’s one of those great things where you do the work once and get significant long term benefits.
However, there’s another reason I like doing videos so much, they can also be the content for your blog posts, and they can even make up a good quality “lead magnet”, i.e. a gift that you give away for free to help build your list.
So you can not only get long term benefits from the traffic, you can use the actual videos in more than one way, as content for your posts, as submissions to get backlinks and traffic, and as a lead magnet to grow your subscriber list.
How good is that!?!
And the search engines tend to like videos a lot, so you can end up ranking for keywords with your videos more easily than for your own blog posts…
Using Blog Comments For Backlinks and Traffic
This one’s pretty easy, but does take a bit of time, although it is free and can pull in some pretty good traffic and backlinks, as well as having the potential to build some “authority” in your niche if you get it right…
Leaving comments on other people’s blogs, preferably in the same market as you, can get you a bunch of backlinks and traffic for free.
The standard way to approach Blog Commenting for traffic is to target high “PageRank” and high traffic (low Alexa rank) blogs for your targeted keywords and just leave good comments (that will get accepted if the comments are moderated, which they will be on the better blogs) on as many blogs as possible.
There are software tools to help you search by keywords and find high PR blogs (that don’t have the “nofollow” tag on comments, so you get more “link love”) and I’ll link to a free one towards the bottom of this post, look for “Blog Comment Magic“.
Top 30 RSS Directories To Submit Your Blog To</h1>
This post is about submitting your RSS feed to RSS Directories to get traffic to your blog or website.
[The post is also part 4 of the Simple Blog Traffic Action Plan, links to the previous 3 parts are listed at the bottom of this post.]
I’m not going to get bogged down in trying to explain exactly what RSS (Real Simple Syndication) is and how it works…
What you need to know is that it is another way in which your blog (or website) content can be delivered to people interested in reading it, either directly to their desktop “RSS reader” or online, without them having to visit your blog itself, although they will often end up doing so providing they are interested in your content.
Simply put, the more ways you give people of finding and reading your content, the more people you are going to be able to reach, and RSS is one more easy & effective way of doing exactly this.
This is another “old school” and “un-sexy” method that gets overlooked by most people now for getting traffic to new websites.
One of the most important things to remember when getting new backlinks to a fresh new website to help get it to rank well in the search engine results is to use a VARIETY of backlink building tactics so that the links are not all coming from one source or type of source. Mixing in some blog directory links is an easy way of ensuring this, but you will also discover you actually get visitors from some of these blog directories, as well as the valuable backlinks.
The directories below are specifically fro Blogs, if your site is not a blog then the best way to approach directory submissions is to pick up a simple [and cheap] piece of software that will automate the whole process for you, I’ve recommend taking a look at the one here: -
Using Article submission to get fresh traffic to a web site is often ignored by new website owners, either because it’s just not “sexy” and takes some actual “work”, or because it seems so “old school” it’s positively old fashioned and therefore can’t possibly still work, right..?
Wrong!
Don’t pay attention to the “doomsayers” saying article marketing doesn’t work anymore, you’ll usually find that they’re trying to sell you on something else….
It not only still works, but if you do it right and be consistent, it works VERY well!
In fact there are plenty of marketers who use Article Marketing as the mainstay of their online business!
Submitting articles actually gives you multiple benefits: -
1. you get the backlinks from the articles to your website or blog which will increase it’s rankings in the search engines and bring more free organic search traffic
