While article submission isn’t anything shockingly new to
the world of SEO, many people STILL don’t do it… and for good reason. It
takes so incredibly long to do manually.
I’ll admit, I had tried article submission at one point, but
after I finally found a few article dircetories to submit my articles to,
and then after manually copying and pasting my information into the required
textboxes on each submission site, I quickly realized that my time could be
better spent doing something else.
Then I came across a free program created by Brad Callen and
Bryxen Software, Inc. that allows you to automatically submit your articles
to hundreds of article directories with a few mouse clicks. Basically all
I had to do was input my article criteria into the software, ONCE! Then, the
program would automatically fill in all of the required data at each of the
submission websites. Pretty incredible if you ask me.
The only part I didn’t understand was why the program is free…
but I can’t argue with that I suppose.
The software currently contains around 700 article directories,
all free to submit your articles to. It is the most straightforward program
that we’ve come across, in that all you need to do is:
1. Input your article details (i.e. title, article body, bio,
etc.) into the software
2.
Click on the directory you want to submit
to
And then the program will automatically fill in your article
details. Then, you simply click the submit button and your article is instantly
submitted to the directory. Then, you can move to the next directory, go through
the list, and by the time you’re finished you’ll have roughly 700 one way
links pointing to your website.
I can’t think of an easier way to get links. Of course, if
you’re going to get links this quickly, it’s important to submit different
variations of your articles, to make things look more natural to the search
engines.
You can do this very easily via Article
Submitter when you create your project in the beginning.
The
software is constantly being updated and
their is an incredible community of users
established that all work together to
make the software better and better, so
you know you’re getting great value for
the money.
There’s a war going on in the blogosphere, and it has nothing to do with bloggers dissing each other on their respective websites. The war is about control of the blogosphere by several great, many good, and tons of terrible blogging platforms. The average newbie now has “too many” options to choose from, and the battle for blogging supremacy is hotter than ever.
At my website and blogs, I’m always asked the question “Is Wordpress better than Blogger?”. The answer, of course, is “Yes”. But to really understand why, it’s important to look at both blogging platforms side-by-side and see which one you really need.
Here’s the comparison scale:
1) Ease of Set-up And Use
Yes, it’s much easier to set-up a blog with Blogspot.com and get your own Bloggger account. You can be done in 10 minutes flat. Once you’re set-up you can start posting immediately. If you want to add a designer’s touch to your blog, there are also tons of blogger templates available for free.
Installing Wordpress however can be a major headache if you don’t know what you’re doing. Since you’re going to host it on your own account, you’ll need to download the installation files, upload them to your server, set-up a database, and run the configuration script.
However, if you know which hosting account to get, you can choose one with Cpanel included. With Cpanel, you can do a one-click installation, upgrade and removal of your Wordpress platform.
2) Customization & Advanced Use
Blogger doesn’t allow categories. You can’t sort your articles into different focuses, unless you know how to hack the platform. With Wordpress, not only can you add categories, you can also display each category differently on your main page. In fact with the correct plugins you can even turn your Wordpress into a magazine-like portal.
Publishing with Blogger can be a pain in the ass. It can take forever to post articles, especially if you’re making changes to the entire website. With Wordpress, publishing is much faster, although if you load your system with all kinds of bells and whistles it can be just as frustrating. With a Blogger account, you can get additional features like “Shout Boxes” that improve interaction on your site. You can also get pretty themes and nifty little tools that you can add to the core template files. However, that’s as far as you can go with Blogger.
With Wordpress however, the sky is the limit. As cliche as that may sound, not only can you get themes, additional “plugins” and advanced tools, you can also extend Wordpress to far beyond just a blogging platform.
The talk today is about using Wordpress as a complete, user-friendly Content Management System or CMS.
4) Copyrights and Ownership of Content
I started with Blogger and I won’t say that it’s bad. But after a while I started to get frustrated with Blogger, and here’s why: Google Owns Your Content
Google has the authority to shut down your account without warning if they don’t like what you’re blogging about. You don’t have absolute control over your own blog. With Wordpress, you own the domain name and the blog is hosted on your own account. You have full control over your content.
With the self-hosted version of Wordpress (not Wordpress.com), you’re free to write about anything you want, and use the software in any way you want. Yes, Blogger allows you to publish to your own domain, but they still own the database that holds your content! Don’t forget that!
5) Search Engine Optimization and Traffic
There’s this propaganda that since Google owns Blogger, they tend to favor Blogger accounts. I won’t say that this is illogical, but from my experience, there’s no such favoritism.
I’ve heard as many stories of getting indexed fast and ranking high in search engines from both Wordpress and Blogger users. As long as the content is good, the spiders will come.
When you post in Blogger, you can only “ping” a limited amount of sites, whereas with Wordpress on your own domain you can ping as many blog directories as you want, and start getting more traffic.
As a conclusion, I would say that Wordpress is only slightly ahead in terms of optimization for search engines, and building large amounts of traffic.
6) Money-Making Potential
There’s no doubt that it’s easier to get started with Google Adsense if you have a Blogger account. In fact you can now apply for Adsense from within a Blogger account. Not entirely surprising considering the fact that both are owned by the same company.
With Wordpress, it can get tricky. The default installation is not enough. You’ll need a couple of plugins and even a better theme to really maximize the Adsense potential. However, this seems to be getting easier and there’s even “Adsense revenue sharing” plugins around that allow you to share ad revenue with other contributors and writers for your blog.
When you start using Wordpress to build your Adsense websites, you’ll soon discover what I mean. It’s something you need to experience for yourself. I can tell you one thing though – when you go Wordpress, you don’t go back.

Have you ever had a dream that was so real you could touch it?
This is not a sleeping dream, it’s a everyday, awake dream. A dream about making a business or project a success.
For me, it’s my energy drink business. Never have I been so amped up about the potential of a business. I’ve been promoting it on Facebook, Craigslist & Kijjijji this week, and each time I place an ad I get excited! Because I know that as soon as someone responds to my ads and they see how great an opportunity this is, they’ll be just as enthused as I am.
This is my 2nd week of promoting Drink A.C.T. full steam ahead. I’ve been doing lots of reading about the company, and I know it’s going to be hard work. But, as we all know, hard work is always rewarded. In 6 months I will be looking financial freedom in the face.
On Saturday I was on a training call–and I love the A.C.T. training calls because they’re only 20 minutes, but they are so energized. Team members get on the line to help keep you motivated. They share their stories, how they got started, and how they felt when they got their first signups. It’s a thrill I can’t wait to experience, getting my first signup.
The training calls are good for people who are interested in the product, interested in the business, but want to know more before they make the final decision. That’s cool. I recommend sitting in on a call or a meeting just to determine how a company is run. Sometimes you can pick up a vibe when a scam is being presented.
My fears that A.C.T. was a scam was alleviated once I began to search for other dealers on the net. Eric Caprarese was one of the very successful ones I found. Eric is the 1 money maker in the company, not because he is a master salesperson; but because he isn’t a salesperson. Eric knows that in order to be successful yourself, you must first help others become a success.
That’s why Eric regards his downline as his “team” and he helps them by serving as their mentor and a coach. Even the Boston Celtics can tell you how important Doc Rivers’ leadership is to their team. He mentors his players in order to make them winners.
What you’ll love about A.C.T. Energy Drink is you can work from the comfort of your home for as many hours as you want. Trust me, once you start, you’ll enjoy doing it so much, your husband or wife may think you’ve deserted them! The income is another key point. Checks are mailed out every Monday, usually by Thursday or Friday of the same week you should receive it. You can use A.C.T. Energy Drink as immediate income or a long term residual income generator. It depends on what you want to do. Because I want you to understand this business opportunity, I’ve pasted Eric Caprareses’ testimony right here:
Here is Eric’s testimonial, (taken from his personal website):
“Hi, my name is Eric Caprarese and I started with ACT part-time from my one bedroom apartment, while I worked a full time J.O.B. (Just Over Broke) during the day. My motivation ultimately came from desperation of wanting a better life for myself and my kids, and I knew that for things to change, I first had to change.
Twenty four months later, there are days when I earn more money than what I used to earn in an entire month! It’s all because ACT drinks truly sell themselves. This is the first opportunity that I have ever seen where the average person can make an above-average income.
I have people from all around the world who love ACT, and I believe that anyone can achieve the same success that I have. Due to ACT’s fantastic Cash Rewards Program, I was able to move out of that one bedroom apartment and into a new four-story luxury condo.
I was also awarded a new Mercedes Benz for achieving Executive Director, three beautiful Rolex watches, two 32″ flatscreen TVs for my sons, and a brand-new Sony laptop I can take with me when traveling the world! I want to thank ACT for providing a way for me and my boys (along with hundreds of thousands of others) to finally be able to achieve our dreams.”

Eric uploaded last week. In it, he tells how he went from working a job (Just Over Broke) to within 6 months—

When it comes to success and profits in the field of affiliate marketing, directions must be applied in order for there to be any real results. An individual can have a visually appealing website complete with all the trimmings, bells and whistles and not turn a profit.
Outlined below are 5 simple steps that an affiliate marketer can take and see results despite the enormous amount of competition, provided the directions are followed.
Before you engage in these steps, understand that they are not magic pills and only your persistence in applying them with regularity will see you through to success. Affiliate marketing is a business like any other on or offline and a solid workable plan that is consistently carried out will win everytime.
The 5 steps that we’ll consider are as follows:
1. Search engine optimization
2. Link exchanges
3. Article Marketing
4. Blogging
5. Forum Posting
Search Engine Optimization is a term you will continue to hear for a very long time and a subject that you must get basic knowledge of in order to compete in today’s market. A simple way to please the search engines is to strategically place your keywords on your web pages. In the title, in your subheading, and sparingly throughout your page so as to not look to obvious and still make sense to your visitor.
Link exchanges are a productive form of driving targeted visitors to your site as well as building your sites credibility with the search engines. As you get other more established sites to link to yours, you are able to benefit from their sites optimization.
Article marketing continues to be the most effective way to drive pin point laser targeted traffic to your sites, especially if you write the articles yourself. A simple trick you can employ whether you don’t like to write or know what to write is to look at other articles that have been written about the subject and respond to them through your article.
Blogging has become the newest mainstay in the affiliate marketers tool chest. Search engines and prospects love blogs simply because they are constantly updated with fresh content 2-3 times a week and can be written in a bit more of an informal or casual atmosphere. There are some excellent products on the market that can assist with automating the process of adding content to your blog.
Forum posting can help steer highly targeted traffic to your site as the individuals you are advertising your link to, already have a very serious interest in the subject or topic your posting in. By contributing in a meaningful way you can build your credibility as an authority in your field and post an ad through your signature file.
Affiliate marketing directions are abundant from many sources on the internet, however in order to have success with any of them, you must commit to applying them even if you don’t see success right away. As I mentioned before these are not magic pills and riches won’t come overnite, but if you persist, they will come.

There is an unknown, mystical being that lurks in the blogosphere, it is called the Search Engine Phantom. The SE Phantom has been around for about 3 years now, and urban legend has it that he makes an appearance around Memorial Day. He visits blogs who are SE optimized and keyword friendly, and graces them with traffic.
All the traffic the blogs’ servers can handle. The blog owner doesn’t know when or where the SE Phantom appeared, only that upon checking their daily traffic, they noticed a spike, a strong upward lift in visitors that could not be explained.
The blog owner wanders, whether it was the extra social media networking that did it, was the front page story on Mixx or Digg? Or did lots of Entrecard owners visit and share the link love. The questions dog the blog owners’ mind, yet answers evade him. Maybe it was the SE Phantom.
Now this is about as far as I can go with this nonsense. I was looking for something to write about today, and I noticed on Ice Rocket that searchers were actually looking for the topic, “The Search Engine Phantom That Makes Money.” Weird, and totally out of the box. This is different I’m thinking, let’s try these puppies out.
There is no SE Phantom that visits like the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy. The SE Phantom is a component of the valuable content and information that is provided on your site.
However, many tools are available that can help you optimize your site or blog. Some of them are even free, like Wordtracker, which will help you come up with keywords, words you can use to create blog posts.
Then there is Web Ceo,which takes keyword analysis and website analysis one step further, providing clues to fine tuning your blog.
Blog Catalog will help you get traffic, as will Entrecard. Two other free tools that help generate visitors. These are just a couple of things off the top of my head I can think of, things that I use.
Don’t forget to always leave substantive comments on other blog posts, that is surely a traffic generator as well.

In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else’’s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that’’s about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.
Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers. These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling.
It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called "traction", which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.
Top 10 Tips
10. Write at least five major “pillar” articles. A pillar article is a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good “how-to” lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn’t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.
9. Write one new blog post per day minimum. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.
You don”t have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.
8. Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need a easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that’’s the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you’ve done a good job!).
7. Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people’s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.
Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.
6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger’’s article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it’’s sort of like your blog telling someone else’s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.
This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will likely come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.
5. Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.
4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival often enjoy a spike in new readers.
To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at blogcarnival.com.
3. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com. To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it’’s so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it’’s worth the effort. Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!
2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com. This is another tip that doesn’t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it’’s worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.
How you benefit is through what is called your “Resource Box”. You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.
1. Write more pillar articles. Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I’ve listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won’t stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.
I hope you enjoyed my list of traffic tips. Everything listed above are techniques I’ve put into place myself for my blogs and have worked for me, however it’s certainly not a comprehensive list. There are many more things you can do. Finding readers is all about testing to see what works best for you and your audience and I have no doubt if you put your mind to it you will find a balance that works for you.

At the Digg Town Hall meeting the other night, users expressed opinions on the direction of Digg. Many were concerned that the user experience is not as gratifying as it once was. Political stories involving Barack or Hillary hold down front page prime real estate. Much to the chagrin of many users. The stories that made Digg unique, tech stories seem to be ignored.
The live session was hosted online by Digg founder Kevin Rose and CEO Jay Adelson. Digg users were asked to post suggestions and questions on topics they wanted covered. The top 10 comments on the thread were addressed. Kevin and Jay allowed additional live questions that were sent to a special email address given at the start of the meeting.
The comments system, the decline of tech stories and the direction of Digg were discussed. One commenter, BigManOnCampus wondered,…”if Digg itself hasn’t been completely hijacked by activists…” Kevin responded that politics is “hot” right now, and “that there never really will be the ultimate homepage that satisfies everyone.” He added that Digg is seeking to add new features that allow additional user customization.
BigManOnCampus certainly has a point. There are a lot of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama stories on the front page of Digg. It seems that if one of the candidates sneezes, it makes the front page easily.
The decline of tech stories on Digg is also a hot topic these days. Jay disagreed with user Erfus, responding that “tech content on Digg is alive and well.” His recommendation was for users like Erfus to customize their settings and go into their profiles to change the landing page.
I haven’t submitted any Tech stories to Digg yet, but in looking through the categories, tech stories are not that prevalent on Digg. Basically, Digg’s culture has changed since 2005. And change is good right?
Which brings me to the question PyroRaver had about the direction Digg has taken. PyroRaver felt that Digg has been taken over by “rude agenda driven people who have made the Digg experience less enjoyable.”
Jay agreed noting that Digg is addressing the issue of spam comments getting in and that “future changes to the algorithm” will fix this problem.
For me the rudeness comes in the form of comments. I know of at least two of my blogging frineds who have dealt with rude commenters. Just today I Dugg a story on the new Tesla sports car, and one commenter wrote, “…who gives a f**k?” Totally uncalled for. If you don’t care about what’s being submitted, then why are you reading it? No one cares that you don’t care, the story had already been made popular, this commenter was trying to get enough people to give the story a thumbs down so that it could be buried. And sure enough there four others who followed this negative commenter, however, the story survived and made the front page.
That’s my biggest problem with Digg. The quality of stories can not continue to thrive if this type of behavior is allowed. I know Jay is talking about an algorithm to fix the spam comments, but will it fix the ignorant people who have no life, no friends but the ones on the internet.
As a traffic generator, getting to the front page is an awesome experience I’ve been told. It can generate 40,000+ visits in a 2-3 day period. The key is finding out how to master Digg and getting your article to the front page.

Wow, it’s been a busy week! Let’s see…I started seeing some commissions from Pepperjam Network last week. That’s great. That means I’m doing something right. The free offer for FRS Healthy Energy Drink is generating positive response. That’s great because the payout is good. The demographics on this product is Males and Females 30+. Hmm, tells me something about my readers. In the last 7 days I made $54 from this campaign.
Another affilliate program that began paying last week was Adfish. I had never heard of them until one day I was seeking election year surveys. Once I tracked down the company behind the surveys, I joined. Their customer service is professional and helpful. My rep Jessica Parola contacts me by phone and email with suggestions on improvement and assistance. Three of their campaigns, Smoking Survey,Global Surveys and Free Flys have been pretty successful on Craigslist. My conversions using this classified ad system are difficult to measure without knowing the size of my audience. However, the things I’ve tested brought in $39.50 last week. The threshold for payout with Adfish is $50.
Then after reading “Breaking The Digg Code,” I created a focus group to dismantle this report. Ty Hurd of Ty’s Blog, Katrina (Kat) of Promotional Magazine and myself have been focused on the directives of this ebook just to find out if its true we can make front page on Digg and generate 40,000 - 70,000 visits in a 2-3 day period. Some of the things we are learning have been applicable to other social networking groups. We’ll share our successes an failures with you at the end of the trial. Subscribe to this feed,Ty’s or Kat’s for updates.
Over at Dat Money’s I had some great dialogue with Matt and a couple of other fellas about making money from porn. You can imagine their surprise when they discovered I make the majority of my online income by writing erotic short stories. Adult webmasters purchase my stories on a freelance basis. The comments there are almost good as the post.
I finally got my domain name! Whoo Hoo!! Teasa’s Tips Techniques Dot Blogspot Dot Com is now teasastips.com. I struggled with it in the beginning, not knowing if I should make the name more keyword friendly, but I’m known as Teasa around the blogosphere, so I decided to keep it that way. I redirected the blogger account to the domain name. And as a result I noticed my Alexa Rank went away. That’s ok, because with the results of our Digg study my Alexa and my PR will be back soon.
This week is going to be just as busy. I’ve got a lot of reading to do on a couple of income making ideas I have. And I plan on spending more time commenting this week on substantive posts.
