Blog Traffic Burns a Hole in My Time
10 Ways I want to save time on getting targeted visitors to my blogs
1. Time is Precious Don’t Hover Around Worthless Sites
We have to carefully consider what we spend our time on. We can earn any amount of money but we cannot earn more hours to add to the day. This should prove to us that time is more precious than money.
So I am for those traffic generation tactics that get us targeted traffic by spending as little time as possible.
Someone creates a list of social sites I can go to and bookmark and anther one comes up with a bigger list to show that he has more and this goes on.
I use a free tool Social Marker. But I will not be able to interact and socialize on 40 odd sites.
I will just choose a handful of sites and focus my energy on them. If my site is about internet marketing it is better to bookmark in networking sites such as Sphinn and PlugIM. Jack Humphrey’s Web2.0 Submitter supports PlugIM and makes it easy to bookmark. Web20 submitter is free for ASC Members.
For other niche sites it is better to focus on one or two good sites where the people are genuinely interested in the niche topic. This you can find out by most voted items and most popular sites, etc.
2. Select and Submit to One Time Submission Networks
I have joined Blog Rush. It is a one time sign up. I submit my blog and add their widget to my blog. if they approve it and add it to the network I earn credits and my blog is syndicated in the network. For the last 30 days I have earned 60,187 credits.
After adding it to the network and putting up the widget on my blog, I need not do anything more. I get others to sign up under me and earn more credits.
Once it is part of the network I can find ways of improving my blog posts, tweaking the title etc. so that more people click on it and visit my blog. I focus my energy on my blog and the traffic part is taken care of through that one time submission.
3. Automate As Much As Possible
I have a good ping list and my posts are pinged automatically by WordPress to a large number of sites. Feedburner optimization takes care of part of the work.
Andrew Hansen’s FirePow, Alvin Phang’s Automic Blogging, etc. take care of pinging social sites too.
I just do the post and the services are pinged so I don’t have to do anything manually to announce my post.
4. Save Time On Essential Submissions
Submit Express submits your sites to a whole range of directories. you just submit once and you receive information from all the other directories where your site has been submitted. Tools such as Brad Callen’s article submitter and directory submitter also save time by storing your data and automatically filling in the details for each directory.
5. Create a Loyal List of Subscribers
Most of the time we hear complaints that the traffic from social bookmarking sites are not the type that click on your ads or buy your affiliate products. They come and go. I feel it is better to have a valuable report or product and develop a list of loyal subscribers who are ready to listen to me. This way I am working on my blog rather than outside it roaming around 1000s of bookmarking sites. I use my precious time to create more valuable products for the subscribers and convert them into buyers.
6. Create a Separate Viral Report for the Subscribers to Share and Earn
I should create two reports. One to give away to subscribers for signing up with me and another for the subscribers to brand and give away and earn some money. This way I am focusing my time and energy on my topic and I still get visitors to my blog.
7. Create a Podcast and Syndicate It
Feedburner has a special feed for podcasts. Jack Humphrey’s Authority Black Book has a list of places where you can submit podcasts. Create once and get repeated visitors over time.
8. Create a Video and Syndicate It Through Video Sharing Sites
Videos again are a one time investment of time and energy. I create them and submit them once and they get me repeated visitors. Jack Humphrey’s Authority Black Book has a list of places where videos can be submitted.
9. Search Engine Optimization
Learn basic search engine optimization tips and improve on page and off page optimization. If my site is on first page of Google for my specific keywords, I get targeted visitors searching for the information I have on my site. These optimization tips can be executed once and benefited from repeatedly.
10. Thoroughly Research Your Niche
Everything depends on the niche we choose. If it is a niche that is searched by 100,000 people everyday, it should not be difficult for me to get 1000s of visitors to my site on a regular basis.
Authority Site Center teaches a thorough market research. The niche is squeezed out thoroughly to ensure that it is a profitable market with lots of buyers.
I have created lots of sites but I missed out on this most important step or I did not do it thoroughly. Then I go and hover around social sites and spend hours in promoting the site to get a trickle of visitors.
Now I plan to save my time and energy by planning my every move in such a way that not a drop of these precious resources are wasted.

Build a Site You Will be Proud Of – Free Webinar Training
I am attending a free webinar training by Jack Humphrey and Sam Clark. I am learning how to create an Authority Site that I will be proud of and through which I can make money online.
It is real hard work but I am enjoying it thoroughly.
You can download a free report that is worth $197, Authority Black Book. Read it, start promoting your blog and get 100s of visitors to your site. You will get a comprehensive list of places where you should submit your blogs and detailed steps you need to take to promote your blog.
When you complete the book you would start taking your blog seriously. You would think:
“If I am going to promote my blog so much and I get thousands of visitors to my blog, I must have such content on the blog that I am extremely proud of. I must have content that is useful to my visitors. I must have unique content that is not available anywhere else for my visitors”.
Do you think it is impossible to create such a site? I thought so. I thought I will never be able to do it. But after I attended the first session of ‘16 Steps to Success’ free webinar training by Jack Humphrey and Sam Clark I thought it is possible. It requires planned work, systematic persistent work, but the goal of creating an authority site is achievable.
More importantly, I will find immense satisfaction once I complete it. And I will be able to monetize it.
I have attended four sessions so far. I have learned a lot more than what I learned through trial and error in four years of online experience. It is a eight-week program and I will be learning a lot 
It is ok if you are not part of the free webinar training. Get the free Authority Black Book and start promoting your blogs. Join Authority Site Center when you are ready to really build your business. Yes, it is not building a site but building a business.

uVme Scam – A Participants' Review
I have been getting emails from uVme team to promote them. I have not joined them. But I am receiving comments and feedback from people who have joined them. I will be sharing it with you here. You can post your comments in response if your experience or understanding of how uVme works is different.
This was submitted to http://www.askrangoo.com
Here is the crack on uVme.
1. Pay 200 for membership
2. Pay 65 for business licence fee. Monthly.
3. Pay 20 to get your account active. Monthly.
Register a dummy account and add £10 per month in your own account add £10. Play yourself to the equivalent of £10 per person this gets you active and to Q1 position.
With your winnings and commissions that you receive it is just short of £70 monthly fee.
As for weather this is gambling or not, its a very grey area. Speaking from a gamblers perspective if you play for money thats gambling in my book whether there is skill involved or not.
My win rate is just over 75% and if all games were played for money I would be breaking even.
There is also a ranking system in place which, when you play another person in the challenges, the system will randomly pick someone of the same ability; this kind of eliminates the hustle factor.

Download Link Finder
Here is a cool free software for you to get blog traffic.
Download Real Link Finder when it is freely available.
You can search for blogs that suit your blog topic, you can choose blogs that already have comments on them and post your comments. The whole interface is very simple and effective.
You have video instruction on how to use the software.
What I like most about the software is the way it turns up good blogs, very relevant to the keywords I put in that already have comments posted on them. At the bottom of the screen I see the whole blog with the keywords highlighted on the page. I can read the blog, the comments posted by others and then post my comment without leaving that screen.
I love the facility of doing all this from that one screen. And I am not spamming the blogs but posting a real comment after reading the post and the other comments on the blog.
The best feature of the software is the ability to find blogs that do not have “no follow” tags attached to blog comments. This is very important as otherwise even if you spend hours on commenting on others blogs it would be of no use to you to get valid back links.
Neil Shearing who has created this software teaches you how to use this software through video instruction. When I watched it I felt what a thorough job for a free product. How sincere this person is in delivering value.
Then I contacted him and the help I got proved to me that he really cares for people. If he can do this for a free product, how much more you can expect from him for a paid product…
