Driving Traffic To New Blog Day Eight

May 8, 2008

May 8 (Day 8)

Ok, today it’s one of those days, not really in the mood to be honest, wasn’t feeling too well yesterday any hows and motivation is a bit shot.

* Started at 3:41pm
* Created more Articles
* Signed up to socialmarkers list of sites, pretty much wasted my time.
* Submitted again to Onlywire’s service, not so time consuming as the latter.
* Traffic received before starting, 71 visits.
* Finished for the day, traffic received 45 visits
* Finished for the day - time spent on project 2 hours 49 minutes

One thing I have noticed is the Alexa Rank jumped another 89,413 positions to 520,737, which is cool. :) So we’re almost there to reach our target of 350,000 within 4 weeks. And we hit our 100 visitor mark yesterday and today already. All within one week for a total of 516 visits.

Traffic received so far

No adsense clicks today, oh hum, not to worry.

ALL of the blogs articles are now FULLY indexed as of this morning. And approx 7% or so of the sites I got link backs from are showing up in google.
It’ll probably take a little while for all of these other 100+ backlinks received so far start to take affect. And prolly around 1-2 more weeks before I start seeing some search engine traffic.

Next week we’re gonna start doing the hard core stuff, not only are we going to receive more traffic, but we’re going to optimize EVERY single one of our pages through Offpage SEO. And I’ll show you what mistakes the people make in the hope that if there are any Novice - Intermediate SEO’ers here don’t make them. ;)

Ok, In-content Linking. I didn’t get many people replying back to the post the other day which leaves me to only assume that not many people know and what the logic is behind in-content linking.

In-content linking is the process in which a keyword is found on your page that is hyperlinked to another page that is related to that keyword.
In other words, it’s a anchor text link. The HTML code A is the Anchor, href is the hyper text reference. In-content Linking is the most powerful form of ONPAGE SEO there is.

ie.

<a href=”http://www.somedomain.com/”>Your Keyword Phrase</a>

The logic behind in-content linking is to create a semantically related theme structure, some professional search engine optimizers refer to them as “Theme Vectoring”.
Personally. I think “Semantically theme vector structures” is a better name, sounds a bit more flash too. :)

A semantically theme vector structure is the process where you hyper link a keyword to another page / document that is relevant giving it a point of reference to material that could further increase user experience. Take a look at wikipedia for a better example. ;)

The term user experience I think of it as helping the visitor expand on their current skill set so they walk away with more knowledge. In fact it’s been this way before search engines were being used. People were linking up keywords, or any ole word to another page that was deemed relevant by the webmaster.

As these links are made from website A, to Website A’s 2nd page, then to someone elses page, and so on and so on, creates a huge line of references and as each time a link like this is found, the original article builds more and more weight helping it rank even higher.

So starting next week, we’re going to do the same thing, we’re not going to do what 99% of the others do out there, we’re going to create articles, create the pages, hyperlink up keywords to our blog pages, and link up other pages to these 3rd party sites that we work on in the coming weeks. As we start working on helping these other pages rank higher and gain a page rank, the better it will be for our blog which will absorb the PR. PR is not going to help us rank, but it will help our pages get indexed quicker. It can be argued that PR does help you rank but I have proven many times over in my Video Guide To Profit videos that PR means diddly in the terms of search engine ranking since I’m outranking PR3-6 websites on a PR0 page.

Ok, so I’m gonna leave it there for now, but next week guys, gals, get ready to do some work, ok? And watch what happens. :)
results will vary from person to person based on how well the content is made and what type of keywords you are aiming for.

So, until then, have a great evening everyone.

I’m off to watch some DVD’s for a few hours and munch on some popcorn :)

I’m not going to bother to ask anyone Digg the posts, since not many of the readers do. I guess those who aren’t Digging don’t appreciate the posts. :( Oh hum. C’est La Vie.

All the best

Loz

    I find what you are doing, and how you are chronicling it, quite interesting. I wanted to experiment like this myself, but I don’t have enough time. And I feel it takes away from my content writing.

    Hi ya

    This isn’t an experiment, more of a “follow what I do” kinda free course to getting loads of traffic to your website, while taken them through how we approach ONpage and OFFpage SEO. :)

    I know what’s going to happen bud. I do all of this and what you are doing, content writing, but I just use Instant Article Wizard to to it, why waste time when tools like the latter do just as well and still get traffic any how. :)

    Productivity here is important. faster you can get things done, quicker you will make more money. :)

    So I am VERY sure that IF I can do it and spare a couple hours per day, I’m sure you can. ;)

    All the best

    Okay Loz,

    Nice work so far…. really enjoy reading your site.

    Can you tell me is there a plugin available to do the in-content linking on its own.

    That would be great.. isnt .

    Please let us know

    HI ya,

    Nah, not as far as I am aware, I do them all manually as mentioned in another post here.

    But SEO Website Builder Pro does it on the fly. :)

    All the best

    I never knew such a thing as Instant Article Wizard existed…wow! I’m a Wordpress.com blog user so I’m not self-hosted…thus, I don’t think I’ll be making any money off it if I can’t use Ad Sense. I HAVE spent several hours, in the very beginning (I’ve been on for only 2 wks though LOL) submitting and submitting…..It got boring after awhile and got me distracted from my real intent: THERAPEUTIC writing!! But I suppose there is no therapy like making money :)

  7. Loz on May 9th, 2008 8:43 pm

    Sure, you can use adsense on wordpress.com :)

    You know, if you go to 1and1.com buy a domain name for $6.12, and spend $3.00 a month on hosting, you’d be sorted. You got a spare $20-50 spare? Go for it. :)

    Yeah, gets boring at times…lol, but it’s worth it, more so when stuff like this is automated, wont be long before technology like that is released: SEO Website Builder Pro :)

    All the best

    Well, actually there Are plugins for the “incontent’ linking.
    Unfortunatelly I cannot remember the names of them, I only remember alinks from http://headzoo.com/alinks:
    [aLinks is a free WordPress plugin that takes a set of phrases you commonly use and turns them into links whenever you include them in a post, but really it’s much more than that! ]

    - since I intended to use them for automatic Clickbank/CJ/ebay linking modules.
    Geeps - haven’t gotten around yet - thanks for the reminder guys.

  9. Loz on May 10th, 2008 1:25 pm

    Well, you need to be careful, if it doesn’t let you choose which keywords to link up to another document, or adds too many links to the page without letting you have full control can seriously mess things up.

    It seriously doesn’t take long to copy a URL from your note pad of a previously published article that you know is published and add it to the new article that gets published in the future.

    Automation is great, but it needs to be done properly. SEO Website Builder Pro is specifically designed to act like a human being when it does stuff like this.

    All the best
