How Can RSS Benefit Your Blogging Activities?

NOTE: If not sure what rss is, then before reading this article have a quick look at http://www.whatisrss.com/

How can RSS benefit your blogging activites? RSS can benefit your blogging activites in two different ways: it can help you generate traffic and it can help you retain traffic. RSS can benefit your traffic-generation efforts by adding fresh, optimized content to your blog automatically; and it can benefit your traffic retention rate by providing better, updated content for your blog visitors.

Also, how can rss benefit your blogging activites in other ways? If you own a blog, you will have to constantly update it with fresh content, so you can ping more often and so you can get higher rankings for your targeted keyphrases. Aggregating and using RSS feeds can benefit your blogging activities significantly by allowing you to add fresh, targeted content to your blog without actually updating it yourself. Whenever a search engine visits your blog, it will record your RSS feed updates as fresh and possibly unique, targeted content.

If you own a blog, you can further enhance the amount of unique visitors you get by using RSS to syndicate your updates. In addition to netting you several backlinks on blogs and websites (which will increase your offpage search engine optimization score), it will also net you some unique visitors through direct links from other blogs and sites.

How can rss benefit your blogging activities by recycling traffic? If your site aggregates a number of important authority sites via RSS feed, you will become an authority site aggregator at the very least, which is useful for people looking to find authority sites on your given topic.

In summary, RSS can benefit your blog by generating traffic – by improving your actual search engine rankings and by increasing the amount of direct click-thrus you receive – and by helping you retain traffic – by positioning your site as an authority aggregator and by providing better, original content for blog visitors.

Understand that Your JV Partners Are Really Busy People

Posted by Mark Flavin
April 28, 2007 at 5:12 am

It happens all the time. A novice Internet marketer approached an established Internet marketer with a joint venture proposal only to be told, “Sorry, but I’m just too busy right now”. The novice marketer feels like he just got blown off and that the well established marketer didn’t even take the time to hear him out. That wasn’t, however, the most likely case. Successful and established Internet marketers are very VERY busy people. They probably work more hours in one day than others work in two days.

These successful men and women don’t have a starting time or a quitting time built into their days and nights. They probably dream about their projects when they do sleep. When one of them is approached with a joint venture proposal they are certainly interested….joint ventures are their bread and butter but they only have twenty four hours in a day just like everybody else and when they have eighteen of those hours spoken for they really can’t take on another project at that time. It doesn’t mean they can’t or won’t take it on at a later date.

As a new Internet marketer, it would be wise to approach an established and successful Internet marketer with a joint venture proposal that they can plainly see will make them money and not require hours and hours of their valuable time. You need to have done all of the research regarding your product or services’ marketability. You need to show that there is, in fact, a market for your product or service as it relates to their lists. Your proposal needs to be short and simple and your sales letter needs to be top drawer.

The main thing to remember is that successful Internet marketers really are busy people and ‘I don’t have time’ doesn’t mean ‘I will never have time’.

The most powerful way to get a joint venture partner is to do a successful promotion for your potential JV partners product. Imagine you made $2000 worth of sales for a potential JV partners product don’t you think he or she would find it hard even stupid to say no to you!

Important Traffic Tip (Do you recycle?)

Posted by Mark Flavin
March 31, 2007 at 8:38 am

Do you know the one secret to getting non stop traffic? If you don’t, you’re probably not getting it, are you? Interestingly enough, it’s really simple – and yet so complex that most people who want to make money on the Internet miss it entirely.

The secret to getting non stop traffic is giving your visitors a compelling reason to continue to come back to your site.

Put yourself in this situation. Pretend that you have a site that receives 10,000 visitors a month from natural search engine traffic. Let’s also say that this site has no mechanism for recycling traffic. Could you make money off of that traffic? Of course, you could.

Now, let’s say you have some recycling mechanism, such as a forum or an automatic “favorites” pop-up. And let’s say that you are able to effectively recycle 70% of your traffic. Assuming your natural search engine rankings don’t improve, you will receive 10,000 unique visitors the first month. The second month, you will receive 17,000. The third, you will receive 24,000. The fourth, you will receive 31,000 – and so on.

Do you see the power of this technique? All you have to do is give visitors a reason to keep coming back; and you can do that in a number of different ways.

One way is to offer some service that they can’t get in many other places. Perhaps you could offer free image hosting. Another way is to setup a community forum, which will keep traffic returning again and again. Additionally, you could offer a free URL cloaking service or dynamic content that is updated on a daily basis.

Whatever you do, provide excellent content and tools for your visitors and they will return again and again, increasing your traffic each month, rather than leaving it stagnant, as it was in the first model.

Please leave your comments & any traffic generation tips you’d like to share below.

Press Releases

Posted by Mark Flavin
March 21, 2007 at 1:03 pm

Among all of the ways to get free and instant publicity for your site, product, or project, press releases have to be one of the most effective methods. Press releases have been used for decades by anyone hoping to gain attention for whatever they have done, or are planning to do. This method of advertising, and it really is an advertisement, gets your message out to the entire subscribed readership of whatever publisher decides to print your press release. Let’s look at how you can submit a press release to reap the rewards of this great tool.

First, and foremost, you must write the press release. It should be well-written and include the who, what, when, where, why, and how of your sale, opening, or whatever else you’d be announcing. The writing should be clear and to the point, effectively using proper grammar. All words should be checked for spelling. The last thing you want is to put out shoddy work that won’t make it past the desk of it’s recipient. The publisher has total choice in whether or not to publish your press release, so you’re going to have to sell him or her on it. If you don’t feel that you have the ability to write an effective press release, consider having someone else write it for you. Sure, you may have to pay a fee for the service, but the rewards of a good press release make it well worth whatever you might have to pay.

Once you have the press release written, you will need to know where to send it. To do this you will have to compile the contact information of all the publishers you will want the release to go to. The most efficient way for you to do this is with an online search. Most everyone these days has a website for their business, and publishers of news and other writing are no exception. So get that list together, and send the release to each of them in the format they require. Bear in mind that you may have to alter the document several times to meet the requirements of individual publishers.

You may be contacted about the press release. If you are, answer their questions politely and thoroughly. They may be looking for a little more than what you put in the release, so it is to your advantage to be available for their questions. Once they have everything they need, they will publish your press release and potentially millions of readers all over the world will know about what your company is doing. What better, more instant way can you think of to do all that?

There are hundreds of places & agency’s to submit releases to. One of the most popular online distribution companies is PRweb
