Getting A Flood Of Targeted Traffic To Your Site The Smart Way! - WHOA!

12 replies
Been doing some hard core testing with traffic this week. Not just ok traffic, but as targeted as I can get. That is the way to get quicker more high volume sales.

Putting your ads and material infront of people that are actually looking for your stuff is the quickest more powerful way to be successful.

This is what has been working for me and wanted to share it with you.

* Do some research before you post at your blog. Get inside your customers head for a second, What are you customers thinking about? what are they typing into google? what annoys them most about their problem / pet hate?

Find 2 or 3 long tail keywords that you know you can post about at your blog and login and post it, ensuring you use your keyword in title, and sprinkled in your post, and keyword tags also.

* Next subscribe to DIGG and add your post that you want to advertise. But make sure you are using those little powerful keywords again. Use them in the DIGG title for the 1st keyword and then in your description use the 2nd longtail keyword.

* Makes sure your blog post makes sense and is actually giving great tips. Sometimes if you post things like 10 ways to keep your teeth whiter and brighter without chemicals. Or 10 ways to stop your cat urinating in your house etc. That works well. Just make sure you are helping your audience.

* Normally after an hour or so. Go to google and type your keyword and if you performed the above correctly you will see your post on maybe on the 2nd - 3rd page. Depending on how much competition there is.

* You will probably see short term and longer term traffic from this, so its a win win situation.

Tis a powerful way to get more traffic that is targeted coming to your site. More targeted means more people are likely to look at your offers, login, optin and buy your stuff. Which means more money for you Yipppeee!

    This method used to work like a charm in the past but it's a little hard to do this today. It still works considering you don't have a ton of competition.

    Glad to hear it's working for you.

    EDIT: I now concentrate on getting my page on the front page of digg rather that getting my digg page on the front page of google.

    I have landed on the front page of digg 3 times before and each and every time I got over 5000 hits in a day. Pretty impressive huh

      I was expecting someone to come in here and say something blatantly say that LOL I can tell you dont test much.

      Like i said, the reason I came in a posted it, was that I tested with good long tail keywords with LT1, LT2, LT3 ect.

      Google to see if they are ranking in digg first. Google likes digg more than it does just for individual blog posts sitting out in cyberspace.

      You would be surprised at the people that do not know about keyword tools, and do not use them for blog posts and digg. Most people just blog on a daily basis because they feel the need too.

      I test stuff all the time. part of marketing is testing, tweaking and keeping notes on what works and what really bombs. That is the quickest way to get to know what to do more of, and what to do less of.

    Hey Celente,

    Out of interest, did you split test DIGG and Stumbleupon? Or did you just work with DIGG primarily?

    I found this if anyone is interested. StumbleUpon vs. Digg

      I know that you didn't ask me this question but because I have tested both digg and stumbleupon in the past, I will go ahead and answer it for you.

      Digg and stumbleupon both have their advantages.

      Generally, the visitors from Digg.com stay on my website longer than stumbleupon visitors do and digg users are more high quality users as they are the ones who retweet and subscribe.

      That has been the case all 3 of the times.

      It is however easier to get traffic via stumbleupon because you don't have to get featured on the front page to start seeing any results. As long as people keep kitting that thumbs-up button you keep getting traffic.

      In my testing, I have found that if a webpage is funny/controversial/different etc. then getting traffic from stumbleupon is easy as a piece of cake. The most traffic I have ever gotten from stumbleupon in a day is about 3000 visitors. Overall however, I have received more traffic from stumbleupon than I have from digg because the 3 times I got listed on digg I generated about 16000 clicks but on stumbleupon I get 100~300+ clicks every day.

      I was just testing it on DIGG Vaness darls. But StumbleUpon might be interesting to try also.

      I guess in the end with any social post you are adding there are always going to big pros and cons.

      Just test and tweak, it is not a matter of saying, "this doesnt work anymore". That means the content that you are giving is weak too. Good keywords, and good content that is helpful is going to let you win the race and make other people forward you stuff on. Pure commonsense really.

        Agreed regarding common-sense. . I've submitted to both but not really tested it as such. I will give it a whirl with my new site content

        Cheers

          Good clean fun ey?

          I mean there are heaps of ways, but this is for me getting some good results.

          Just make sure the content you are giving is good.

          1) do not just post for the hell of it.

          2) Do not be a blatent advertising dummy (ie. your post is saying buy my crap)

          3) Never come across as self confessed guru or tell people what a sparkling genius you are.

          Those will blow up in your face! Just hard core helpful content. Get them thinking, hmmmm this stuff is really good. Create curiosty so they will come back for more and visit your sites / blogs etc.

          Good luck.

      Not really true. If you have a high PR blog and have thousand of backlinks pointing to it then you can easily beat digg anytime of the day.

        With the amount of blogs out there especially these days, that is very hard to do.

        have a look at john chow, and moneyshoe blogs that rank very highly for IM keywords. If you listen to these guys, even back when they started blogging, they put in a whole lotta hard work to get to the top get buzzing with traffic and rank highly. It is easier said than done.

        I think jeremy wrote a blog post on both these facts a few weeks back. I will have to go and look.

          I do it every day with my niche sites.

          I don't care if there are a gazzillion blog posts out there, the only ones that I am competing with are those that are on the top 10 of google. Why?

          Because these are the ones I want to beat and so I don't care about a page that is ranked #145,879 because I don't want to rank #145,878. Makes sense?

          EDIT:

          I have been online for about 3 years now and I have sites that are that old and so I have some of those "top spots".

          So you're saying to get a flood of traffic, just write a blog post and then submit to DIG.com? Ummm thanks for that insight.

          Where does the "FLOOD" of traffic come from. Certainly
          not from being on page 2 or 3

          And wheres your test, sorry don't mean to be rude but your headline is a bit dramatic when all you are saying is to write a post and then bookmark it - this DOESN'T work it takes a massive amount of work to rank for anything worthwhile.

            I believe the flood of traffic is supposed to be from that digg ranking in Google for the long-tailed keyword.

            Anyone who has messed around with digg knows this and also knows that the ranking goes away pretty quickly.

            If you are looking for traffic from digg then your best bet would be to try and get a front page feature. If you have funny videos but diggers and stumblers love these otherwise you need to have some sort of interactive design on your site.
