As of this writing, more than 40 million unique visitors searched out and found one or more of the pages at my blogs/web sites. Those visitors flipped through more than 63 million pages. That's like one page for every person in the United Kingdom, Italy, or South Korea. Canada (twice), Australia (three times), Greece (six times). And ALL of them came because they were looking for me, for something I had that they wanted. I have NEVER paid for traffic...EVER. It is ALL FREE, organic, quality search engine traffic. I'll say again, these visitors came looking for me. How often does that happen on Facebook, Google +, Twitter or LinkedIn?
Not long ago, I recruited a very well known Facebook guru‐type to do a webinar for me to a sizeable (4000+) group of business folk that have subscribed to hear from me. While we were waiting for the participants to come online, we had a short conversation.
Guru, "Bill, what do you do exactly?"
"I am a professional blogger. During the course of your 1‐hour webinar my network of sites will make enough money to take me, my wife and daughter to the movies."
"Wow!" was her response.
I turned down the volume on my headset a bit more and added, "And, out to eat."
"I need to learn how you do that!"
I should have turned down the volume more.
Not long ago I was in South San Francisco at an internet marketing conference with 300+ people many of whom had great ideas. A week or so after that I was in San Diego at another conference and a different group of 300+ people with even more very good to great ideas. Back again in San Francisco (I live in the Bay Area just a few minutes' drive from Google, Yahoo!, Facebook and Apple) I attended an
advertising conference. There were hundreds of booths and thousands of attendees who had paid a $1000+ to attend. The internet marketing folk, the advertising folk ALL had one thing in common; they ALL wanted more traffic to their sites so they could peddle their ideas, services or wares. Facebook, Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn users have the same thing in common. They want people to come to their sites. Everyone wants more traffic. And that is what I want to teach you here ‐ how to do get more traffic. Legitimate and relevant traffic. To your web site.
