Authority Blog Site Traffic




MikesPodcast show

Summary: In today's session, we're gonna be revealing one of the secrets of getting massive traffic from blogs as well as a Christmas special offer. This is Mike Cowles, thanks so much for joining me at the Internet Marketing podcast. Today's topic is in response to one of my readers, Erik Smith, with the following question 'Hey Mike, this is Erik. Just checkin' out your site for the first time. Looks really cool. Being a beginner, I made a few sales online but my major problem is where to generate some kind of a free traffic to my websites. I have some good setup websites but really right now I'm not giving any traffic to them. So if you could respond and let me know the best traffic methods that you've experienced. That are free traffic methods that would be great. Thanks.' So Erik, in response to your question, my favorite source of free traffic comes from giving away great content through my blog at www.bloggingfreak.com . Thank you Big Mouth from www.Fiverr.com for that awesome voice over work. So here's the deal, this is why authority blog sites do so great for driving traffic. The first reason is because there's great content on the site. By great content, I'm not saying specifically like 'Hey, I am great!' What I'm saying is that I've done the homework in order to make sure that the content I put on there is targeted to a specific audience, in my case, the Internet Marketing niche, the people that wanna work from home and make money online. It's also targeted in the sense that it's very specific for one problem, one solution. It's also crystal clear to Google exactly what each post is about. What I mean by that is having a specific title, that's always my keyword phrase as well as naming the pictures or the videos exactly what the keywords are as well. So to be clear about that, let's say for instance, I have a post on www.bloggingfreak.com that's called Warrior Forum Events Speaker. Now, if you go to Google and you type in specifically 'warrior forum events speaker'. You'll see that my site www.bloggingfreak.com is number #3 out of over one million results. It's actually one million eighty thousand results. The reason why this is, is first is it's a long tail keyword. In other words, it's not like I'm saying 'speakers' it's specific to that event but it also got content specific in there about that topic. So you'll notice that there's a picture inside of there that's called the same thing so warrior forum event speaker .jpeg or .png whatever it is. If there's a video in there I would call the same thing .mp4. Now, the reason why this is important is because Google has way too many sites to actually send a human being to go and look at those all to see if they're really about what the title or post is saying is about. So what it does is it looks for the names of the pictures or names the videos to see if its relevant to what you're saying at the site or the blog post is about. So very important to have your title be the actual name of the keyword and if you put a picture or a video in there which I strongly suggest one or the other, name it exactly what the name of the keyword is. The next thing is it has two very strong backlinks that are done right away. The first one is from Twitter. In other words, once you make a blog posts simply tweet about it and say 'Hey, I just wrote a blog post about...' and say your keyword in this case 'warrior forum events speaker at' and then you put in your link. Now, that gonna, first of all, hopefully, drives traffic from Twitter if you have some followers but it also give out a backlink right away from a huge authority site. The next one is from Facebook so you wanna login your Facebook account and do the same thing as far as mention that you just wrote a blog post about whatever your keyword is but then you also wanna ask a question really important with Facebook as well as with your blog to initiate interaction. With Facebook,
