building a list through your blog

by Simon Stanley

Thanks to everyone that has been so helpful on here, I have learned alot already.

One question though, should a blog primarily be treated as a tool to drive natural traffic to your website, with the primary motive of capturing their name and email for aweber?

Or should the motive be getting blog subscriptions?

If so what is the best technique/plugin for this? possibly offering a free report at the header of the blog to capture through aweber?

I will be directing my PPC/twitter traffic to a simple squeeze page to add to the list, in that case should I host the blog in a different directory on the website?

Such as "mydomain.com/blog"

rather than "mydomain.com" being the directory for the blog

Any advantages/disadvantages to this?

Thanks

Si

    Being a list builder first and a IMer second I will always tell you everything is about capturing the info, building the relationship and selling (in that order )

    Every thing I do is about capturing a list even when it appears I am not .

    I don't blog as much as I should but I offer $3000 worth of free to use bonuses on my blog as well as a lot of links to free usable stuff in the menu .

    I am sure true bloggers will see this different . But oh well that is why I am in IM . I do things the way I want to do them :-)

    a better solution to awber and get response for blogs is using feedburners opt-in so your peeps get notified when a new post is made. I found that ppl thought it was less obtrusive, and more targeted, with repeated visitors... i tend to add a teaser message when they get the email to drive them back to my site again to read the full post
