List Building ok, Blog….very sick!
Posted by Gale10 in Uncategorized on December 29th, 2008
Hello!
Well my list building is going ok. My list is growing steadily, and I am looking forward to giving everyone the extra information we have for them, plus other gifts that I have for anyone that signs up. I want my list to have all they need and more to build great businesses for themselves.
Sadly, my blog is a bit poorly. In that for some reason that I haven’t yet fathomed, there can be no comments. If you want to say anything to me, you can email me at gale_10@hotmail.co.uk. When I have sorted out the problem I will add your emails as messages, so you will still be heard.
I have started to do a few classified ads, which are free - and seem to be working! I would recommend both www.craigslist.org and www.adjingo.com , it doesn’t take much to just add a bit of text to a pic of List Building with Alex and you have an ad that could get you traffic for months to come.
You may be wondering why there is a picture of a woman on this post. This is because I have started to read some interesting stuff from this blog site www.copyblogger.com. It’s a high ranking site that helps people with their copywriting, among other things.
There was a blog post that said that people (both men and women) find pages where there are semi naked women to be attractive.
Since you can’t post any comments at the moment (although you can email me them Gale_10@hotmail.co.uk) you may as well have at least one perk!
I have got a few images which I bought from www.istockphotos.com - I am allowed to use them on this blog, in fact, use them pretty much as I like, because I am licensed to do so.
I hope everyone who is list building is having a productive time, and I look forward to getting my poor blog well again!
Best wishes,
Ruth

Article marketing and how to build a list
Posted by Gale10 in Uncategorized on December 27th, 2008
Hello there!
Do you sometimes feel you have lots of information swirling round your head in no particular order? I do. What I do when that happens is I do a brain dump - I write down everything I can think of thats buzzing around in there and I write it down. Great for clearing the mind. Our mentor Alex Jeffreys taught us that, among many other things.
I have written an article today and put it on to my favourite article site which is www.goarticles.com. It’s my favourite because it puts the articles up really quickly. Some article sites take weeks to put up articles which I personally find very annoying. If you have made a mistake with goarticles they tell you straight away - you cannot actually post an article with what they consider a mistake in it. Which is so much better than some of them.
The most popular one is ezine articles, which have a human check the articles and they are very strict. One thing that I learned recently is that, contary to popular opinion, you can have active links in ezine articles provided they are after the third paragraph. I am going to write one for ezines next and see if I can confirm this from personal experience. If I can, of course, I will let you know.
I have not got a great deal to tell you today about anything I have been doing about traffic. I have got myself into a little routine of doing six tasks on a daily basis. These aren’t always successful - for instance I don’t always find myself able to make ten comments on forums, but that is what I aim for. I guess with everyone being on holiday around this time, less people are online asking questions!
So, I will leave you in peace, and let you know any other ideas and thoughts I have when they happen!
Best wishes,
Ruth

Pinging - helps with traffic, SEO and list building
Posted by Gale10 in Uncategorized on December 26th, 2008

Hello there,
I have some news on pinging - I have to confess it is something that I don’t understand fully still. But from a layperson to another, pinging reminds sites that you have a new post. Now I had read that you don’t need to ping blogs because with wordpress, it pings for you. Which it does. One ping site.
How many ping sites are there? Well I don’t know but there are a lot more than one! Probably in fact there are thousands. But to get you started if you have a blog and you want to get the word out and get more traffic, more comments, more links and therefore move up higher in the SEO stakes, then you need to add these to your blog.
If you have a self hosted wordpress blog like this one, you need to go to your dashboard. You need to scroll down to Settings, click, then click on writing. If you scroll down again it will show you the box where there is one pinging site.
Copy this list and paste it in there:

Your site will get a lot more exposure now!
I would love to tell you that I had found this out on my own, but thanks need to go back to the Fortunate 500 forum (available only to Alex Jeffreys students, sorry) where I discovered this information. But sure enough, it will help bloggers everywhere and it’s great if we can all help one another!
So there you go, thats my tip of the day so far. If I find anything else of interest today, I will be sure to let you know!
Best wishes,
Ruth
P.S. Here is a video from the fantastic Matt to show you how to add pinglist to your blog.
How to update your pinglist on Wordpress blog!

Traffic - rich, Listing building - ?
Posted by Gale10 in Uncategorized on December 25th, 2008
Hello!
Well I am still getting traffic, which for the day is pretty good. But I wouldn’t know about list building because aweber are not in their offices until Saturday. I hope they are having a lovely time.
Yesterday I managed to sort out RSS on this blog, which I hope will have a positive effect. I have claimed my blog at technorati and I was recommended onlywire. Onlywire is a company that will send your blog posts to many different social bookmarking sites all at once. This has the effect of getting your writing out there for people to comment on, almost taking your word to them, rather than them coming ot you.

Onlywire had dual membership, one is free and one you pay for, but it is $25 per year, which to me is a reasonable charge for what it is. My mum used to say £1 is a lot of money if you haven’t got it; I am always reluctant to say “only”, because it does all depend on your perspective. But I think it is a way to get people to read your blog and maybe come back to it. And free is good!
Another traffic targeting tip I came across on Jim Gallaghers blog is RAD or Revolving Ads Depot. You need to go there and see the ads, they look good. There is free membership or paid membership, paid is $25 but that is for a lifetime. So I guess it depends on how long you live to see how much value it is! He he he!
Anyway, both those sites are worth a look.
I am off now to do some more bits and pieces, anything I find that looks good I will come back and tell you all about of course.
Many people are on holiday today I believe - I hope you are all having a good time in your tinsel worlds!
Best wishes,
Ruth

List Building and being the best you can be!
Posted by Gale10 in Uncategorized on December 23rd, 2008

Well, first things first. You know some days come along and you do everything you are supposed to, and your To Do list looks the same as your Did Today list (plus a bit more, because I am a girlie swat). I had one of those yesterday. So today I bounced out of bed, thinking I could do the same today, and that perhaps I am actually becoming one of those wonderwomen that can do everything all the time!
Ooooooooh NO! Sadly, today has not been one of those days. Today was a day that I failed to get a grip on. I have done some work - I have made some progress, but with none of the smugness of yesterday. There are still things that I could have done and perhaps should have done but didn’t. Anyway, that is enough introspection, now time for the useful stuff.
I have wandered round quite a few blogs, and I have discovered a few things I really don’t like. Firstly, I don’t like being lectured to so I want to say sorry, if anyone has felt that I have done that. Secondly, I really do like pictures, especially bright ones!
I was really pleased to find this blog because this man, he has done a list of tips for bloggers, and I thought it was really very good - tips for bloggers. His name is Chris Brogan, he has a lot of experience writing blogs, and I felt he could give some good advice.
Now traffic. The thing about traffic is that you need to be able to measure it. You need your google analytics to work. Mine doesn’t, I don’t think.
I have got a traffic tip for you though. There is a company called Hits2U.comand they give you seven days free traffic, if you recommend three people though, that changes to 365 days free traffic! Cool! As is usual with these things, you can pay and then you get more exposure, but you don’t have to. I have signed up with them, I will let you know how it goes (if I can get GoogleAnalyzer to work that is!)
Another way of getting the word out about yourself and your site or blog or whatever, is to go on forums. There are many about, and you can usually put your blog or site or both in the signature box. So then if you keep at it you will get known for giving good advice. Like a blog, your reply will be there for a long time, so it can be clicked on and you can get traffic from it for a long time.
Right I am off now, going to twitter and do a few other bits and pieces.
You can follow me on twitter here: http://twitter.com/Gale10
I look forward to hearing from you all,
Best wishes,
Ruth

List Building all over the world!
Posted by Gale10 in Uncategorized on December 22nd, 2008

Hello!
Well, good morning, and it is a good morning because I got traffic in the night! I am so happy! I would thoroughly recommend Feedjit. It’s free, and it shows you not just how many people have come through your blog but also where they come from. Lots of pretty flags to go on your site. I feel like the traffic is zooming past>>>>>.
I just want a few of my lovely readers to sign up to the newsletter and maybe even get the List Building System. They will get all the information we have got to help us build a list of people all interested in their products! What could be better?
Also, regarding traffic, I have a link to an interesting article I found on ProBlogger.com. It gives three good tips on getting more traffic. It is quite an old article but the information is still relevant. Here it is:
I also noticed that there were many people who were starting out in blogging and wanted to get more tips, which proves there are people out there looking for the kind of information on traffic that we are putting on our blogs.
I actually think that its interesting finding out all this stuff - even doing the research. It feels a bit like panning for gold, I feel great when I find a useful little nugget I can include.
If I find anything else interesting I will most certainly add it.
Until then, best wishes,
Ruth
