Today I want to talk about one of the tools that I have used to get my traffic so far. Over the last couple of weeks I have been driving lots of traffic to this blog, but I haven’t had the sign-ups that I have wanted.
So for the next few days until the next module of training (Thursday) I have been directing some of my paid traffic through to my squeeze page to see if it does any better. It’s not on advice from Alex, but it’s just something I wanted to try for myself.
So, tools. For everything anyone ever wanted to build, there are tools, and list building is no exception. I have told you about a few of the ones I have liked over the past couple of weeks, but there is one more that I have been testing that I want to tell you about also.
The first one is free, so off to a great start there! It consists of three pieces of software, the first is very useful to us because it let’s the user know if a blog has “no-follow” plug-ins. This means if you go to the trouble of writing on the blog, and it does have the no-follow plug-ins, then you won’t get the benefit of trackbacks to your blog. You can then concentrate on the blogs that do allow trackbacks and this will improve your general rank. Remember what Alex says about associating yourself with leaders? Well this part of the software helps with that.
The other piece of software that it contains checks other peoples sites Alexa rank and what back links it has, which can be useful because sometimes sites can have back links to undesirable sites, which Google spiders might not like.
There is another piece of software but to be honest I didn’t use, and don’t really know how to explain but it does apparently help with SEO. The link for all these free pieces of software is here.
There is another thing I want to show you and maybe you will think this is cheesy, but I was shown something similar recently and it motivated me.

There you go, I hope it works for you too. I try and remember this when gathering the list seems to be an up hill battle, and not one that I am winning.
Right, thats me off to bed, it’s 12.14am here!
Best wishes,
Ruth

Hi Ruth,
Thanks for sharing the resources, here is another free resource that I have been sharing with all of the students, it is a 30 page report with step by step videos from 2 pros on Twitter. They share some very powerful techniques on how to get a lot of followers without being annoying or spammy. It is also a great report you could send to your list to add value.
They will love you for it.I have a link on my blog for all of the students to download.I hope this helps. Keep up the good work.

Hi Naked Money,
If you mean my ladies, well they are easily obtainable from http://www.istockphotos.com. The cost depends on the size of them, but for my blog here I just pick the smallest size and even that is too big in some cases.
I have about ten of them and that costs around $14. Well worth it I think.
Thanks for your comments,
Ruth Stewart
