Get Your RSS Feed Listed Within Hours at Yahoo in 5 Simple Steps Let s be honest. There s three types of people in the world. * Yahoos * Googlers * People who are neither, or both. I ve been lurking in forums, and I realized something - they seem to be a lot saner than me. But then, almost everyone is. I ve been a Google gal for a while. There. I said it. And why not? Google has been good to me. Yahoo finally has me convinced that they are at minimum, the top contender for the title of heavyweight search engine champion of the world. I now take them very seriously for many reasons. ( I won t bore you with all of them here - though if you d like to be bored, see the on-going updates-: http://freetrafficdirectory. com/yes2yahoo - or if you re new to RSS and don t get how it can help your marketing, join our discussion - http://www. freetrafficdirectory. com/ Forums . ) What really has the potential to turn me into a type 2 or 3 is the attention Yahoo pays to RSS.

So in going back over expenses for the last quarter, you can imagine my shock when I realized that my overall business costs were down about 19%. What saved me so much money? Surprisingly, blogging. How can you save money with your blog? It s pretty simple, so I ll be brief. Attract search engine traffic without paying the big bucks If you want Google, Yahoo and MSN to pay attention to you, blog. It doesn t have to be a whole new site, just add a directory to your existing site and start blogging. Most blog software solutions are either cheap or free. And you can find out most basic blog information online for free (really, sometimes just typing your question into Google will do it. ) by people who ve actually done it. For less than $100, you can build a small library of blog tips and secrets, written by successful business blogg

Blog Traffic - Does How or When You Blog Matter? What do I mean by how you blog? One of the most common mistakes made by the novice blogger is to fill their blog with 60 80% recycled content. Sure, it s fine to quote other sources and give your opinion. But just re-blogging other posts, or cutting and pasting reprint articles does not a great blogger make. And maybe you don t want to be a Great blogger. Perhaps you don t have the time. But you do want to be at least a good blogger, or you are killing your blog’s incredible potential to be a search engine magnet, as well as boost your traffic and sales from both first time and return visitors. Your content doesn t have to be picture perfect, and you don t have to make article-length posts to your blog. But what you do need: * Blog Posts that Engage Your Audience * Blog Material that is either Original in Topic, or Original in Approach * More Original Content than Re-Hashed * Unique Viewpoints, Sources or Perspectives to add to co

4 of the Top 5 Search Engine Benefits to Article Marketing You ve probably heard by now that article marketing can help you build links back to your site. But there s a lot more to it than that. Articles aren t only good for leveraging yourself stronger positions in Google, Yahoo, MSN and the other big search engines, though that s what we ll be focusing on today. Keep in mind that learning a more balanced view of promotion and marketing with articles can help you reap all the perks with essentially the same amount of work. For now, let s start with four of the top five search engine benefits. 1- The One-Way Link of a Resource Box backlink is More Powerful. A link from a site that you re not linked back to has more value than one where you may be required to link back to, simply because changes in the way search engines rank sites now include an adjustment for exchanged links. The logic is that this would make the voting power of a link that points in one direction weigh more he

The three concerns I hear the most are: “How do I deal with the bandwidth hit?” “Is there a way to include information that isn’t in the automated resource I use to populate my feed without touching any code?” and “Where can I find a cost-effective, simple way to display feeds on my site?” Say Goodbye to Bandwidth Overages with FeedBurner http://feedburner. com If you’re a publisher, chances are, you’re familiar with the bandwidth increase that occurs every time your audience reads the latest update to your feed that for some webmasters lead to the possibility of exceeding monthly bandwidth limitations.

5 Ways to Entice Your Parallel Market to Trade Links Lots of people get confounded when attempting to exchange links, you’re not alone. The people who have the spot you want are competitors. The people who don t aren t worth exchanging links with. What to do? It s not necessarily the method you re using, it may be the approach. If you know anything about SEO, you know you need relevant links to your site, preferably more in than you have out. And whether you actively pursue search engine listings or not, you’ll find that many surfers travel the web through the links they find, often without realizing it. So how do you achieve this without linking to the sites you are competing with? Think Parallel Markets. When most people think of this term, they are speaking from an investment standpoint. In this discussion, I m simply referring to groups of products and services which cater to people with similiar needs. If your market is delivery or carry-out pizza, your market is fast foo

Free Traffic – 3 More Zero-Cost Ways to get Visitors to a Site Almost Overnight You have to laugh when you hear about the elaborate schemes people cook up in order to get three or four clicks through to their site, when there are plenty of legitimate ways to get attention for your web site – from dozens to hundreds of interested prospects. It’s one thing to think creatively – it’s another to try and buck the system for a few hits from people who won’t subscribe, return or buy. Speaking of creative thinking, one of the ways you can get above-board, quick and free traffic is from using link services. Without even a hint of abuse, you can use these services to bring visitors to you – in minutes sometimes. The first two services that you and I can use without stepping on any toes are the two link services at http://Furl. net and http://del. icio. us . Also called “social bookmarks managers”, these sites allow you to start up a free account where you can start a link collection which c

Google will then come by and spider the pages, getting you indexed faster.

It won t create a feed for you from scratch as often believed - rather it wraps itself snugly around a feed you bring in and adds its services therein. It has a few premium options for the serious feed publisher, too. People ask me all the time if I suggest that they use FeedBurner’s plethora of free feed enhancement tools. I have always answered a resounding “Yes!” – But lately FeedBurner has moved itself to a whole new level. Did I mention most of these tools are free, and can help increase the traffic you get to your blog, by using your feed? Don’t believe me – go to http://www. feedburner. com and see for yourself.

Cash In Your Blog - 4 Ways to Profit From The Hidden Revenue In Your Blog Most webmasters and online business owners know that a blog can bring you additional revenue from advertising, and more traffic from search engines. Then there’s the additional benefit of having a great way to spark productive dialogue between you and your prospects. But did you know that your blog itself may be worth thousand of dollars to you in its present form? The day I learned that my blog held such hidden treasure was one of those happy accidents that can make life such a fun adventure. All I wanted to do was find out why some of my newsletter subscribers had not crossed over to my blog audience. In an informal poll, I found that many of the fans of my newsletter were overwhelmed with the amount of free information on my site, and felt that they’d never catch up to reading it all. This led to several discoveries about how I could find a way to make the information more accessible to them without disru

How to Increase Web Site Visitors For Relevant Terms Using Your Less Relevant Listings Completely by accident and through no effort of my own, besides the effort to get my site spidered by Yahoo s Slurp Search Engine Spider and Google s Googlebot Search Engine spider, I ve seen an accidental increase in the visitors to my web site. Suddenly, I was ranking first page for Google, Yahoo and AOL for the phrases like "picture of William Hung", and "william hung she bangs". The Good news is, this means that when the Yahoo Slurp spider came to the site and indexed my front page last Saturday, (and no, I didn t submit my site OR pay for inclusion), my results were in the search engine by Sunday apparently, which is when I started getting clicks from Yahoo for this unusual term. The Bad News is, William Hung, except for being an example of the power of Free Marketing, has NOTHING to do with my site! So how does one fix this situation?

Join Join Google Groups if you haven t already. Join discussions if you haven t in a while. It s going to be more difficult to apply theory to an experience you haven t had. The Google Groups experience is similar to participating in forums, but it s not exactly the same thing. And, as we say in Vegas, you can t win if you don t play. 2. Participate You re not going to make much happen by lurking. Say something smart. Get to know other people. Start a group of your own in an area that s needed and invite people you know. Not an expert? So what. Ask questions instead and expand your knowledge. If you don t want to become a guru, you can always find one to interview through Google Groups and then post it on your site as a traffic draw. And guru or not, the more your name is o

Can A Ping Really Help Your Blog Get Top Search Engine Rankings? It’s been all over the SEO-student rumor mill for weeks now, and has finally made it into my Inbox – in droves. The new get-traffic-quick scheme for search engine results has arrived – flooding ping notification sites with update announcements, even though your blog hasn’t been updated. The question is does this- or some variation of it work? If not, where did this idea come from? Okay, bad news first. Pinging sites like Yahoo and Syndic8 every half-hour for several days or weeks, to notify of updates when they haven’t been made, does nothing but clog up the system. It’s called spam-pinging and it has been around since 2002. If you haven’t updated your blog, or you’re pinging updates of a site that isn’t even a blog (or RSS feed, where applicable), in the long run it’s just going to make it harder to get listed at these sites. In the short run, you could get yourself banned from sites like Yahoo, though it isn’t off
