Createing Your Best Life By Driving More Traffic

This post isn't about being stuck in rush hour traffic, you're late for your daughter's lesson for the tenth time, and you need to move all the cars, buses, and trucks out of the way, ahead of you.

An answer to that scenario... I'd say you are, "Sh**, out of luck!"

However, I received a question yesterday about "having difficulty driving traffic to my site...any suggestions?"

Well, I have been learning to do the very same thing so I'll share with you what I have found out so far...

1- Update your blog as much as possible with as much content as possible.
2- If you can't post every day, it is recommended to have a rss feed with wp-automatic (for full content to be posted not just a title)
3- Design your blog for SEO:
a) put adsense on it or other ads
b) make your title match the name of your blog (remember search engines
love consistency) like title of blog "Kids' Keys To Success" so a title of a post would be
something like "Interviews with Kids' Keys To Success". And then you should
mention your title of your blog at least twice in the body of the post.
c) Make as many links to your site as possible with other sites and blogs i.e. (blog
roll)
d) us your tag clouds or keywords for your posts (this will make your key words jump
out for the search engines)
e) Have others comment to your posts. This makes more links to your blog for the
search engine to pick up.
f) As it is now, search engines don't love flash graphics.
g) use photos, videos and audios on your blogs and sites because it captures your visitors
for a longer period of time (they tend to stay on your site
longer).
4- Write a press release and submit with links back your sites.
5- Write articles and submit so that other people will post on their sites linking it back to
your blog or sites
6- Adhere to the "golden rule"
7- Do jv (joint venture) with others who have a bigger "targeted list" already built
8- Go to http://www.pingoat.com/ and submit your blog to a bunch of services for free.
9- Add to all your correspondence your signature line including a link to your web site and a little description to intice people to click on it.
10- Oh, how could I forget?... go to http://www.kidskeystosuccess.com/forum and register! :)
