Stars Talk About Trafficera’s Top Team

The stars of the world recently came out and gave their comments about the number 1 team at Trafficera. Google Ranked Us continues to set the pace as the number 1 surfing team online. It’s not easy being a member of the top surfing team in the World, but new spots become available all the time for anyone that would like to be a part of the 25 greatest traffic exchange members ever to be compiled in one place. It’s been a truly historic ride for the men and women that make up the Google Ranked Us surfing team.

Hayden

Hayden Panettiere – “I saw the Google Ranked Us team one night when I was up late on the computer. Curious to see what it was about I clicked on the link at Google. I quickly seen these were some dedicated online marketers and they are certainly affecting what millions of people are seeing daily on the Internet. Not sure exactly what it is they’re doing, but it’s obviously working. Keep up the good work guys!”

 

Obama 2008

Barack Obama – “What a great world this is. A Canadian company hosting great surfers from all parts of the world. Trafficera is fortunate to have a great surfing team like Google Ranked Us associated with their program. I do hope Google Ranked Us has room for another team leader on their team; in case this leader gig I got now doesn’t work out too well. Wishing you guys all the best from D.C.”

 

 

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton – “Oh my gosh! I can’t believe 25 people spend so much time on the Internet surfing each day. 5 or more hours of surfing for 1 day is a lot of work. To do it 7 days a week is terrific! You guys need a Hollywood Reality Show, I think it would be great! Let me know if you need help. The Google Ranked Us Reality Show would be must see TV! Good luck guys!”

 

 

Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise – “You got me dishtv21! You proved me wrong and I did think there was 1 or 2 better teams at Trafficera than your team. Man, Google Ranked Us just keeps going. Do you guys ever sleep? Oh well, great work and please tell Stefan Berg to stop posting those videos over at You Tube with him in his underwear. There is already enough people trying to copy my dance moves from Risky Business. Now let’s go double or nothing, I don’t think Google Ranked Us can be the top team in 2010; you game?”

 

Barbara Walters

Barbara Walters – “Magnificent! It truly couldn’t happen to a group of nicer people. I will have to talk with my girls and see if we can get you guys on The View. It would be an honor to do a show with the members of Google Ranked Us and perhaps you could share some of your professional marketing skills with our viewers. Well done Google Surfing Team!”

 

 

Oprah_Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey – “Hold on there Barbara! If Google Ranked Us is going to be on any ABC TV Show then it’s going to be my show. Hey Google, you guys have my permission to appear on the Oprah Winfrey Show, anytime you decide to lay down those clickers and take a break from surfing. I do agree with Barbara and you guys are magnificent. Hope to see all of you in Chicago one day!”

 

 

The Pope

The Pope – “You men and women are truly blessed. May your team chat continue to be filled with team clocks. Someone very mighty is looking down on you and it’s great that you take full advantage of the blessings that’s being handed down to Google Ranked Us. My prayers are with you today and will be in the future too. On another note, do you have Paris Hilton’s email address?”

 

 

Bart SimpsonBart Simpson – “Hey is this thing on? No seriously? Ok, don’t have a cow! Hey Google Ranked Us, how’s it hanging? Man you dudes rock. Keep on rocking Trafficera and if anyone has a problem with it, just give them the ol Bart Moon Special. Homer said he would join when you start surfing for doughnuts; he just isn’t into the whole clock thing. Nerd Lisa would probably like it, but wouldn’t want you guys breaking up with the lame chat she would bring. Now go give them surfing teams your business and make them drool like ol Homer does at the bakery when he sees one of those doughnuts. Rock on Google!”

 

The Godfather

The Godfather – “I’m not impressed. What’s the big deal if you have the most clocks, most credits, and can promote your programs more than anyone else can online. You want impressive? How bout De Nero playing an Italian mobster in a dozen different movies. Now that’s impressive. This whole Google Ranked Us thing just doesn’t work for me. But I guess everybody has their kicks, right? Am I right?”

 

 

albert-einstein

Albert Einstein – “The formula is quite simple. Get the 25 most active surfers and online marketers in the world and link them with the largest online search engine in the world and you have the world’s most powerful source of energy known to the World Wide Web. Google Ranked Us is a surfing team that equals an E=MC2 x 25 and would be impossible for any other surfing team with 25 members or less to stop them. Google Ranked Us is an unstoppable force and my only regret is that I didn’t think of this sooner.”

Travelers Buying Diesel Cars?

All of the uncertainty in the world oil markets may leave some looking at cars and trucks that use diesel gases. I’m not sure what the price differences may be in diesel parts versus the normal car parts you have in your gas automobiles now. I think the people that like to take several trips a year, family vacations, or the retired folks that like to travel a lot, will want to look more at the diesel products for sale today. It seems diesel prices are more stable when we see those huge spikes in the oil prices at the pump. If you know you will be traveling on long trips in the future and don’t like to worry about gas prices; then your next car or truck could run off diesel. This would be a way of skirting around the unpredictable oil markets that consumers face in the 21st century.

Do you currently drive a diesel powered automobile? Perhaps you could give me your opinions on gas prices. Also, be sure to let me know how easy it is to find diesel parts and if you normally go online or to a local mechanic to buy your new diesel parts. I’m sure we could come up with a list of positives and negatives concerning diesel engines and each driver could decide which is most important for them.

The Daisy Duke of Advertising

Daisy Duke

It doesn’t always have to be the best thing or even the main thing, it’s all about creating that image in our mind or that lasting memory that we won’t forget soon. These are some tips marketers should apply when they use generated media sources to promote their products or services online. Do you remember Daisy Duke from the Dukes of Hazard? Of coarse you do and no one has forgotten who she was. We remember who Daisy Duke was, but she was never the main focus on the TV show. It was the cousins running around on dirt roads and usually trying to avoid the police was the main focus of the popular 80’s television show called The Dukes of Hazard.

Now if people using social networking sites or media sites that Internet users create the material on and can create your own Daisy Duke; then you too can have those lasting memories about an online interest of yours. I’m not sure what your Daisy Duke could be and it would depend on what types of things you’re promoting online. Give it some serious thought and create that “Daisy Duke” effect and you may find positive online results weeks or even months down the road, because you are really creating long term memories that computer users won’t forget anytime soon.

Online Leads for Building Downlines

Affiliate market is my main interest online. I love the different aspects of finding referrals and building up downlines in programs that I can earn real money from. Earning money can be hard to do online and it generally takes time to build up your contacts and a traffic empire. You can build your own traffic empire by using some of the biggest traffic exchanges online today. You join one TE and then sign up for a 2nd one; where you can cross-promote the two traffic exchanges on each site. As you begin to build up your downlines on these 2 traffic exchanges, you can then go sign up for 3rd TE to help promote the other two and then promote your new traffic exchange too. After time, you will build up downlines on various traffic exchanges and will get to earn extra credits from your referral efforts. This is the starting point of building your own traffic empire.

It takes time to find the right programs that work best for you online. Once you discover theses, you will want to start obtaining leads that will help you build massive downlines faster. You can use your own system to start generating leads or copy others that already have a pattern for building business leads online. You don’t need loan modification leads or other types of leads that business professionals use everyday for quick results. You just need business leads that will go directly to people that are wanting to make money online like you. These are the leads that will bring you fast results for new programs or other new things you join online. Building up these leads and creating your own traffic empire is the way you can start earning money; while you’re playing golf, sleeping, or anything else. Making money online when you’re not actually online is the the number 1 goal for most affiliate marketers.

The Free Business Card Scam

People that try to make money online or do business online have to be wary of all the scams that exist online today. I have personally loss money from a few programs that turned out to be scams. One of the newer scams online is the free business cards you think you will get, but it turns out to be a lie or just a misleading marketing angle. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is, right? Well if you’re on the computer and see something that looks too good to be true; then it’s about 200% more likely not to be true.

There are clever marketing geniuses online that suck us in without us knowing it. These aren’t really scams, but just very misleading advertising campaigns. Typically the ones that state “free” in the title, heading, or main focus really aren’t free. You may get something that appears to be free, but in some other way you’re paying for shipping or another cost that is actually helping to pay for the “free item” you’re suppose to be getting.

A good example of this is with all the free business cards you see online today. Lots of people online are trying to sell or promote something, so you cover a big area when you offer a marketing tool and at a price no one can beat and that is the free price. Most of these places never do actually give you free business cards, they will just supply you with them after you have made another purchase or paid for an increased shipping rate. A supply of 100 free business cards may only cost a buck to ship, but some will charge 5 dollars for shipping and the extra 4 dollars goes for the price of those “free” business cards. You may also find that there is a limited supply of designs available for the free cards or you may have a place on your card that advertises for them with your free business cards. Be very careful with these types of scams online and always be cautious of free items. If you want business cards as a marketing tool for your online interests, just look for companies that do quality work and offer a fair price for their cards like 123 Print does. Stay away from the ones that will give you free business cards, because they are not actually free!

Best 1 Loss College Football Teams

An interesting Saturday in college football with some top 10 teams getting tested and some going down in defeat. So what does this mean for college football? It’s hard to say right now with the BCS rankings from the computers coming out later today, but it should be easy to rank the 1 loss teams in the country. It really depends to what part of the country you travel to, on what the differences each college football division has and why their teams should be ranked ahead of other teams in the country. It really comes down to competition and the tougher your football schedule is, then the better results you should get in the two major polls for college football.

Georgia Tech

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are clearly the best 1 loss team in college football. Their number 19th ranking before Saturday’s match up against number 4 Virginia Tech was far too low for this team. After a convincing win at home against the number 4 team in the country, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets should move ahead of all the other 1 loss college football teams in the country. Let’s look at their wins and what team beat them this year to get a better understanding of the competition level they’re playing against. This gives us a better idea of how tough it was to be a 1 loss team in college football at this point in the season.

Win Over Jacksonville State

Win Over Clemson

Loss To Miami

Win Over North Carolina

Win Over Mississippi State

Win Over Florida State

Win Over Virginia Tech

Georgia Tech has wins over 2 ranked teams in the country and their only loss was to the Miami Hurricanes which was the 9th ranked team in the country going into Saturday’s play. Quality wins over Clemson, North Carolina, Mississippi State, Florida State, and now Virgina Tech can not be over looked. This is a pretty tough schedule and the Yellow Jackets only have 1 loss on the season.

Now speaking of Miami, the Miami Hurricanes defeated Georgia Tech, so shouldn’t they be ranked ahead of the Yellow Jackets?

Miami

Perhaps they do have a strong case against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and I can buy this argument. The Hurricanes did defeat Georgia Tech at home and their only loss was to the Virginia Tech Hokies. We can also look at the opponents Miami has faced and see the quality of wins they have on their college football schedule.

Win Over Florida State

Win Over Georgia Tech

Loss To Virginia Tech

Win Over Oklahoma

Win Over Florida A&M

Win Over Central Florida

So maybe Georgia Tech isn’t the clear number 1 choice for the best 1 loss team in the country. The strength of schedule to this point is about even and the Hurricanes actually defeated the team that is question with them, so the Miami Hurricanes are the best 1 loss team in the country right now. Georgia Tech has a chance to move up as they will face tougher opponents down the stretch, so if neither team loses for the rest of the year, both should be side by side in the BCS standings.

Other notable 1 loss teams in the country would be the USC Trojanswho play in a weak Pac10 and will never be able to keep up withan ACC school based on strength of schedule. Only 2 quality wins for the Trojans this year and just how quality Notre Dame and a Ohio State team that loss to Purdue and barely defeated Navy would question the definition of quality. It only gets worse for the Trojans of USC when you look at the team they loss to. BothMiami and Georgia Tech have losses against a ranked team; while the USC Trojans loss to a team that didn’t even win a football game last year in the Washington Huskies. Money sometimes speaks louder than talent in college football and it’s the only thing keeping the Trojans in the top 10 rankings right now. No way should they even be in the top 10 with that loss against the Huskies earlier this year. USC was holding on by a thread and needed Ohio State to keep that thread in tact, but now USC should clearly be out of the National Title picture and any BCS bowl games. It would be a travesty in college football to keep this southern California team in the top 10 rankings any longer.

A good example of just how bias and money propelled the college football rankings are toward USC, just look at the next 1 loss team on the list. The LSU Tigers who play in a tough SEC football conference only made 1 mistake and that was losing to the Florida Gators who is the number 1 ranked team in the country. No way should USC be ranked ahead of LSU and the Tigers do have quality wins over Mississippi State, Georgia, Vanderbilt, and they also beat the Washington Huskies on the road; which USC failed to do. The LSU Tigers are only behind Miami and Georgia Tech as the best 1 loss teams in the country, because their quality wins and strength of schedule doesn’t match up to these teams yet. LSU does match up or exceed the USC schedule and there are no doubts that the LSU Tigers are the 3rd best one loss team in the country.

Next team down is Oregon and they do play in the Pac10 with the USC Trojans. The Oregon Duckshave the same problems as USC does and the fact they don’t have any strong teams in the Pac 10. They must find better teams outside the Pac 10 to play in order for them to get a bid for a BCS bowl game. Their only loss was the first week of the season and was to a ranked Boise State team. Their 1 loss is much more impressive than the one USC sports and the Oregon Ducks belong higher in the top 25 standings than the USC Trojans, but they are just the 4thbest team in the country with 1 loss.

Penn Statehas only 1 loss this year, but with victories over Akron, Syracuse, Temple, Illinois, Eastern Illinois, and Minnesota they just haven’t played against anybody this year. Perhaps you could call Iowa a somebody, but the Nitty Lions couldn’t even beat them. Penn State is ranked too high in college football and adjustments need to be made here. Really from this point on it just gets too sloppy to talk about and there are a lot of 1 loss teams ranked too high in the top 25 college football polls.

You do have to give the nod to the ACC and the two teams they have with only 1 loss on the season. The Miami Hurricanes is the best 1 loss team in college football after Saturday’s games. The second team on the list is the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets based on their quality wins and then you would have to put the LSU Tigers 3rd on the list from the SEC. Here is the list of the top 3 teams in college football with 1 loss:

1. Miami Hurricanes

2. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

3. LSU Tigers

Based on the current top 10 teams in the country and some of those schools are still unbeaten like a Boise State team, you have to make room for these 3 one loss schools. All 3 of the best 1 loss teams should be in the top 10 rankings in college football and the USC Trojans is not one of them. Let’s get things in the proper order and hopefully the right information will get put into the BCS computers later today and we can see Miami, Georgia Tech, and LSU sporting top 10 positions in the country.

Mark Shurtleff for U.S. Senate

Have you seen the mark shurtleff campaign? Mark Shurtleff is a man running for a seat on the United States Senate. After I have just wrote a blog post on the homeless people in America (previous blog post); I wonder what his take would be on the homeless population that currently makes up a percentage of our country’s population? If there is anyone associated with his campaign or Mr. Shurtleff himself is reading this blog post; then I would like to know where your official stance is on the homeless people living in the USA today.

I have a feeling I could learn a wealth of knowledge from someone like Mark Shurtleff; based on the things he is focused on right now for his political campaigns. He does seem to have his hands on the pulse of America right now with some of the issues he is tackling with his political platform. According to his website online, he is focused on stopping the excessive spending the government is doing right now, suspending the earmarks that take place in Washington where politicians trade favor for favors, and ending our pattern of bailouts in this country.

Two very controversial subjects right now is the abortion issues and gay marriages. Some politicians won’t pick a side on these highly debated issues, but that’s not the case with Mark Shurtleff. He is against abortion; unless it pertains to an extreme case like rape, incest, or an health issue for the mother. He is also in favor of traditional marriages and wants to defend the rights of the churches. It doesn’t matter if you agree or disagree with Mark Shurtleff on these issues; the fact that he is willing to make a stand and say what he believes in, does earn some credit with me. I wish more politicians would make their stances clearer on which side of the fence they stand on these tough issues.

If you have concerns about our borders after 9/11; then you will be happy to know that Mark Shurtleff is for tightening up our borders. If you want things to be harder on illegal aliens or terrorists entering this country, you will want to vote for Mark Shurtleff for U.S. Senate.

1 Billion Hungry People in the World Right Now! WOW!

According to a story on the front page of Yahoo’s website, it states that more than 1 billion people in the world right now are going hungry. Can this be right? How is this possible? These numbers sure don’t add up and why do we have so many people going hungry? Last I heard there was 7 billion people in the world and this would mean that 1 out of every 7 people on our planet is hungry right now. If you figure the average household has 4 people in it; then every 2 households would be about 7 people and this means 1 person in each two households in the world, someone is hungry in that house. I’m sure some are not actually hungry, because you get sick after awhile of not eating anything, but this still means they are malnutrition.

I guess it really depends on where you live in the world. I can certainly speak for the people in the United States and we don’t have 1 out of every 7 people going hungry in this country. We do have homeless people in our major cities here and we have those that live in poor living conditions and I’m sure these folks go hungry on many of  nights. I guess to a small degree we do have our hunger issues in this country, but it’s the homeless people that need to be put at the top of the list in our country. My heart goes out to these people and I do wish there was more I could do and we as a nation could do for the homeless. Nobody deserves not to have a home. I know some people are mean and probably made the choices in life that left them homeless today. I imagine that a lot of thieves, low lifes, and foul mouthed people make up some of the homeless population and most are not willing to help these kinds of people. The homeless that uses drugs and when they do find a helping hand they just go buy more drugs with it; then that too dampens the spirits of most Americans that would want to help or could help. However, let’s ask ourselves this question as a high, civilized nation living in the 21st century. Is there anyone that is homeless in America right now that would take full advantage of a helping hand in the form of food, a job, a place to live and after receiving these types of gifts, would they continue to hold on to them and be a productive member of our society? If anyone answers “yes” to that question, then we need to focus on ways of finding these folks and pulling them out of the rubble they live under each day.

I don’t have the answers to feeding the 1 billion people that are starving right now. I do have food in the refrigerator and cabinets to feed 1 or 2 of these people and could provide them with a meal for a day. I don’t have the answers to solving America’s homeless problem, but I do see where the focus needs to take place. We need some type of panel that would bring the homeless people off of our streets and in to a building where we can record their names, the goals, and if they want to have a better life or not. For each one the panel believes is willing to become a productive member of society again or just for the first time; then they would be giving a “college like dorm” to live in. From here we could monitor these folks as we gave them food, shelter, and the opportunity to fill a role in life. Some homeless people may have a direction they would want to take with a job or career and we could provide him/her with the tools to succeed. For those that didn’t have any direction, we could give them a list of jobs/roles that needed filled in the community and then provide them with the tools to succeed.

So where do we get the money? People? Housing? To start programs like this? I believe we take care of our own and this should fall in the lap of everyone. The United States of America does have homeless people living in their country. I think a small amount of funds should be made available at the national level. We have homeless people living in my state of Georgia. The State should provide a small amount of funds to the residents in Georgia. I know there are homeless people living in Fulton County. The county should provide a small amount of funds for the people living in Fulton County. There are homeless people in the streets of Atlanta. I think the City of Atlanta should provide a small amount of funds to the people of Atlanta. From there we get into the neighborhoods and people living in an Atlanta neighborhood should get together and help their neighbors out and especially the ones that don’t have a home. Once you get all of this money from various places, it just becomes a matter of turning it into a business that is profitable to the people that run it. I will run a shelter for the homeless and monitor them and record their names and goals in life. I will find the people that want to make a change in life that are currently homeless now and I’m sure there are others willing to help too.

Just look at the money we could have available to a homeless person living in Atlanta, Georgia.

1. Federal Government

2. State

3. County

4. City

5. Neighborhood

5 streams of income that should be coming in to provide a homeless person living in Atlanta, Georgia a chance to make a change in their life. We aren’t wasting the money when a homeless person takes our handouts and still wants to remain a bum. These are human beings and any of us could wake up homeless tomorrow. If we do wake up tomorrow with a home to live in and food on the table; then we should do more to help others have the same luxuries as we do tomorrow. If we don’t start getting these homeless off the streets now, it’s just going to continue to get worse and soon we will all be homeless and there won’t be anyone left to help. Yes, let’s take care of our own and it begins in the neighborhoods and cities in our country.

Timber Rattlers in the USA

Timber Rattler

The Timber Rattler is a snake that is pretty common for most U.S. States. It is a snake that has venom that can make you very sick and even be lethal at times. I am someone that doesn’t like any snake and I treat them all like they’re carrying a poison that could hurt me. I just prefer to kill all snakes I see, but I know this isn’t a good idea either. I don’t like rats and especially the mice that get into the house sometimes. If we didn’t have any snakes around to keep the rat population down; then we would be over run with fury little mice running around. I guess the bigger birds help to control the rat population too and it’s neat to watch a big bird swoop down for a mice out in the field.

 

The Timber Rattler is a rattle snake. It has that same rattler noise that other rattle snakes have. These snakes use their rattlers to warn people and other animals about their presence in an area. If you’re ever out in the woods and come close to a timber rattler or a rattle snake; then chances are you will hear this frightening rattle sound. Don’t worry about trying to figure out where the sound is coming from. It’s not important if you see the snake or not. Apparently they see you and that is all you need to know for you to get out of the area as fast as possible.

The timber rattlers that are in the USA are not just going to hunt down and attack people. Really no snake just goes after us and most of the time they just want to retreat too. If we want to leave the areas where they are at and they are willing to leave the areas where we are at; then we shouldn’t never have a problem with them. This wasn’t the case on Saturday morning where a timber rattler (it is believed) bit a Georgia man. This turned out to be the worse case scenario with Dick Rupert, who was 68 years old, died from his snake bite. He was climbing down from a tree stand and the snake bit him on the calf. It’s a devastating story for this man and Mr. Rupert’s family, but hopefully others will learn about the dangers associated with timber rattlers, rattle snakes, and other snakes that can cause us deadly harm. There are timber rattlers in the USA and people should be aware and find out if they live in their local hometowns. I know in my city located in North Georgia, the rattle snake and copper head are the only 2 poisonous snakes I know about. There might be others, but these are the two most common snakes that are deadly to humans in the state of Georgia.

Please let me know what U.S. state you live in and how many poisonous snakes make their home in your area of the world. Feel free to reply with your snake stories of getting bit or someone that you know that got bit by a snake.

A Senior Life Settlement Policy Equals Cash Now

A life insurance policy is a good investment for anyone at any age. It’s a wise investment and could come in handy if something ever happened to you and your family needed to keep the bills paid or needed extra money for funeral costs. Some people will start these life insurance policies at a young age. After a few decades have past, these policy holders have built up a lot of value in their life insurance plans. There are ways to extract the money from these life insurance policies, so the owners can use the money for things that need to be paid now. Generally we bought these insurance plans because we wanted to be safer for tomorrow and didn’t know what would happen to us in the future. Now since the future has arrived in some cases, we see that we are still alive and we know of better ways that the money could be spent on things today. If this sounds like you; then there are ways to cash out those life insurance policies.

An older person that wants to cash-in their current insurance policies can do so, by selling a senior life settlement policy to a 3rd party. Life Settlement is the term that is used for these folks that want to sell their insurance policies. You can sell them back to your insurance companies, but you will not receive as much money this way. If you take a life insurance policy and sell it to a 3rd party source; then you can usually get 200% or more back in cash; than the insurance companies would be willing to pay. Selling your life insurance policies for cash now is a way to get immediate benefits from the money you have been building up in these policies. While the money may have some use after you have passed away; you may just find yourself in a more desperate situation now. These are the people that should consider selling their life insurance plans to a 3rd party buyer.

Social Networking Can Provide More Traffic

Do you belong to any social networking websites? Have you ever tried to post a video on YouTube or tweet a message on Twitter? You can use social networking websites to help you with online contacts and these contacts can provide more traffic to a website that you need more visitors to each day. Also, some of the popular user generated sites are proving to be a great source of traffic. There are some extra hits you can get from Facebook, Twitter, or my favorite user generated website You Tube; if you can find ways to link them to your own personal website. Here is an example of someone posting a free video at You Tube with advice on extra traffic and see how this person uses their video message to draw in extra traffic to his website.

Now your video doesn’t have to be as advanced as this You Tube user has decided to do. They did a great job with their video and some people have the brains to produce nice videos like these online. If you are not the sharpest tool in the shed and have computer skills like I do; then you can still use these user generated sites to help link up with extra online traffic.

If you don’t have the skills to put up a video at You Tube or know how to upload a picture at Facebook; then try using the social media networks that are available online. You can “Google” for information or use the search engines to help you find “social networking websites”. When you join a social networking website, take the time to read up and navigate thoroughly around the site, so you can get the most benefits possible. A good starting point when you first join is to add in all your personal information. Make sure you enter a first and last name, a general location on where you’re living, and add as many website URL’s as you can to your account/profile. It really works best when you can upload a picture of yourself to social networking website, so the other members at this site can see what you look like and who they are talking to. You will want to add as many friends as possible and be sure to accept all the people that want you as contacts too. You will find some of these people will send you lots of messages that will be almost like SPAM, but that is only a slight downside to the possibilities you can gain on finding new friends or online contacts that shares your same interests. Building and establishing these contacts on each social networking website you join will prove fruitful down the road.

Just don’t expect miracles on your first day or even first week to a new social networking website. It takes time to meet people online and establish some sort of friendship or bond that you can both benefit from later. The key is exposing yourself and your website, so every member at each social networking website has the ability of seeing who you are and what types of websites you use or promote.

Social networking websites can provide you with more traffic and contacts if you have patience and allow them to work their magic. The user generated media websites like MySpace and You Tube has huge upsides and benefits. If you’re not savvy enough online with your computer skills to use a website like You Tube; then the social networking sites are a great alternative you can use; while you try to find ways to use Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, and all the others for driving more traffic to your websites.

It doesn’t matter what you do or what your online goals may be; your gonna need that traffic! Free traffic exchanges and social networking sites that cost no money to join is the first places you want to join. You don’t have to spend money to get your feet wet with some extra online traffic. It just takes time and finding the right websites that work best for you. Keep your budget on zero dollars starting off, because it’s your TRAFFIC EMPIRE that will lead you to where you’re wanting to go. That EMPIRE doesn’t cost a thing to start building and you can always use money for your perks; once you have that TRAFFIC EMPIRE established. I wish ya lots of luck with your online promotions and be sure to come back here and let me know which social networking websites you’re using and which ones are providing the best results for you. I will share some of my social networking sites later on and give ya some tips on how to get the most use out of them.

Links Do Magic for Webmasters

The popularity of a website can be determined by many things. The amount of daily traffic it receives or the scores it receives from a Google Ranking or Alexa Ranking. One of the best and easiest ways to help your website is with links. There are no SEO tricks or tips when it comes to links. There is actually a good way of looking at it, so you’re getting the most out of your incoming links.

Just think of your website as a lake. Try to imagine all the links pointed toward your website and the links you have on your website as streams and rivers. The key or goal for any webmaster is to have the most water possible. The more water you have in a lake, the bigger and more popular it becomes. Your website works the same way and you want all the water you can get. Each time a link is placed on another website and this link leads directly to your website, then this is a stream or river of water coming in. When you place a link on your website for someone’s else’s website; then you’re creating an exit river or stream from your lake. Since we want the most water possible, it isn’t a good idea to be adding other people’s links to your own website. It works much better when we have more links coming in to our sites; than we have pointed away.

Trading or swapping links is just like treading in water or being stuck in the mud. You don’t gain nothing when you swap links 1 for 1. If you have a 2nd website; then you can work some link magic by swapping links with another webmaster. Just ask them to place a link on their website that points toward your main website and use your secondary website to return the favor. This way you can start creating more rivers and streams of traffic to your website. The search engines want to see what everyone’s website is pointing toward and when a bot from a search engine sees lots of links pointing to one website, they know this website must have some good information on it. This will cause your website to appear higher in the search engine listings and this will create a whole new stream of traffic flowing in to your website. Links can work like magic; if you know how to use them properly. Make sure you’re getting the most out of your linking opportunities and links are the number 1 way to increase traffic and PR numbers that Google provides!
