| Hello!
Yes, at last I feel slightly better, hurrah!
As Alex says, we should go round other peoples sites and pick up traffic tips. So dutifully I go round some other peoples sites and I notice two things.
First thing – lots and lots of sites on the list from Garrys site don’t work! I don’t mean the left hand side list, I mean the list of other students. These are the ones that found everyone else a bit later, myself included in that list.
A lot of these blogs are not coming up in the browser. This is a sad thing it suggests that people are dropping out. One guy has dropped out because he noticed an increase in his email. Now I haven’t noticed that – I get about 50 emails a day and respond to about 3 of them. I delete loads and some get filed. I think that is not a great excuse to leave the programme. I guess if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!
But it is a shame about the people who’s blogs have just not come up. I hope they are working on their blogs and they will be back with us soon. That will make me feel much better. However, I do know that statistically speaking only about 5% will continue the course and go on to make money and be successful. So the fact that there is so many of us is an indicator of Alex success. Fantastic!
Ok, on a more positive note I found a blog with some good traffic tips – firstly adding a FeedJit box. I had never heard of them but Jim Gallagher said he had got traffic and converting traffic as well (two buyers I believe) from this. If you notice down below I have added a FeedJit box to my site. I have no idea what it will do to my traffic because I only installed it a few minutes ago. But lets hope I get some good conversions from it – goodness knows, I do need them!
The second is more contraversial. I have joined a traffic exchange. Jim Gallagher says he got traffic with it – I am happy to give it a try. There is a free version or you can go for gold or platinum which you have to pay for. The traffic exchange is called TS25, they did give me a link but I am not putting it up until I am sure it works personally. I don’t want to recommend a dud.
I will also tell you the traffic tips that I personally do.
I am a member of USfreeads, and I have put up lots of adverts on there and got a few sign-ups from there.
I have written a couple of articles one of which is published, two are waiting confirmation.
I have got one video on Myspace, plus I have videos on fourteen sites through Hey, Spread! and fifteen sites through Traffic Geyser (see post below).
I also belong to a variety of forums, and I post on them with my link in my signature, although less in the last few days with me being under the weather.
Apart from write on this blog, that’s all I have done. I am not going to tell you how many sign-ups I have.
So, thats all I can help anyone with today, although I will keep you informed of any great things that happen, of course.
Jim Gallaghers blog is www.kotobot.com.
Take care, and
Best wishes,
Ruth Stewart
