It’s Thursday, and that means audio! Many of us use blogs as marketing tools to connect with people who need our goods and services. Obviously, a sale must result at some point. Learning internet marketing isn’t easy, nor is it cheap… or is it? You [...]

A cornerstone product is a term I use for the focal point of your blog’s monetization efforts. Your cornerstone product is the product for which you are known. For example, when I was consulting with Vicki Flaugher I told her that for a blog called SmartWomanGuides.com, having the SmartWoman Guide as an ebook or a [...]

If you can’t see the video, watch it on the blog.
If you don’t like to hear salty language, don’t watch this video, because Loren swears quite a bit.
Loren is one those “love him or hate him” guys. I love him. If you’ve never seen what he does or how he does it, you’re missing [...]

The research results are clear: people don’t read blogs. I was reminded of this the other night by a message from a friend on Twitter, a social media and microblogging site I use (a lot), who said this very thing. My response was that they are reading blogs, just don’t know it, and because of [...]

Chuck Westbrook has come up with an ingenious program to provide exposure for great blogs which don’t have a lot of traffic. Chuck wants to end “the tragedy of underappreciated blogs,” but he needs our help to do it. I won’t spoil it by trying to describe how it works, but I will say it’s [...]

In the movies, at the part where things are the toughest and the heroine is just about ready to give up, she does not have a meltdown and check out for an extended mental vacation. Nor does she sit down and stuff Doritos into her face until the Bad Things go away. No. She grits [...]

It had to happen. Yes, it’s the inevitable post about the recession and the economy and business and ZOMG what WILL we ever do?
I’ve seen a lot of marketers lately preying on your fears that you will lose what you’ve worked so hard to build if the economy worsens. To help you get some sense [...]

If you’re in internet marketing and you want half a chance to succeed on Twitter, pay attention. I don’t know who you’ve been listening to telling you how to make it on Twitter, but if they’re telling you to do these five things, then they don’t understand social media, and you shouldn’t listen to them.

In this video, I go over what’s involved in the growing blog traffic seminar and what you’ll get for your time and money. I also present an interesting challenge about the top ten Google search results and the information they contain for the term “blog traffic”. Check it out!

Web Analytics is software that measures your website’s visitor traffic. It is vital to understanding who visits your site, where they came from, and what they did while they were there. If you read yesterday’s post on blog traffic terms, understand that these are the measurements taken by web analytics.

There are two ways [...]

This Saturday I’m holding an online seminar how to increase traffic to your blog. You should be there, of course (I mean, who doesn’t want more traffic to their blog?). Ahead of the event, though, I want you to not only be prepared in advance, but to know as much about blog traffic as possible. [...]

Can’t see the video? Watch it on the blog.
So… do you have a plan for your blog? Is it a plan that you can carry out even in the face of uncertain economic times? Something to think about.
No matter what your plan is, I cannot imagine that less blog traffic is part of it. [...]

Note: The following is completely ridiculous. I know it is. I totally admit its purpose is to get you to buy something, make no mistake about that. Let’s say you have absolutely no intention of buying anything. That’s cool. In that case, treat it as a fun thought exercise to clarify your own ideas about [...]

As I write this, I’m listening to the audio of my WordPress SEO Teleseminar and coming down from the event. It’s about 1 in the morning. I wanted to go to sleep earlier, but I was so jazzed from the seminar that I couldn’t.
I usually have an audio post on Thursdays, but I’m just not [...]

I want to tell you about my next event, which is all about growing blog traffic.
Because if there’s one thing bloggers want more than anything in the world, it’s traffic. Traffic is like a drug. It doesn’t matter how much you get, it’s never enough and you always want more. The law of diminishing returns [...]
