A link to some very educational videos turned up in my inbox the other day sent from Willie Crawford and I’ve just finished watching them.
You really want to go watch these free videos now before they are taken down.
You will pick a lot of valuable tactics from a pair of very successful marketers - Carlos and Lupe Garcia. I’d never heard of them but they know what they are talking about and they earn millions a month.
Carlos and Lupe Garcia built up a business from being declared bankrupt into millions of dollars of monthly revenue. They present a series of free video presentations on how they generate millions of visitors per month to some of their webpage’s.
Carlos and Lupe taught something so powerful that at the end of their presentation, they announced that they were holding a workshop, and they got a FLOOD of signups.
That’s impressive because the workshop cost $25,000 per person!
Take the opportunity to go and watch these videos.

There is a free piece of software just surfaced called Comment Kahuna that finds high PR Blogs with the “Do Follow” Command.
I’ve just tested the software out and it’s really good. The software is free and there is a video on the squeeze page.
I have already posted about “Do Follow Blogs” and just want to clarify that back links to your own sites will increase your own Search Engine Rankings and website PR.
Go and check software out before they change their minds..!!

By finding as many high traffic blogs in your niche you will be able to generate much more traffic for yourself by leaving comments on different blogs and this is a great way to increase your PR ranking.
The reason you need to find “Do Follow” Blogs is that the Wordpress blog default is to turn off the Do follow command. Some blog owners customise their blogs and turn off the default.
This command effects your linking love from the search engines and can stop you getting as much traffic as possible if default is left on.
The more links you have pointing back to your site the more traffic you’ll recieve and the better you PR ranking will be.
Most Blogs do not allow the Do Follow and are defualted not to allow this which means your link won’t get as much recognition.
If you find Do Follow blogs and leave your comment and link upon them you will get credit for the link and this will help towards a link back to your site.
You will get better search engine ranking if you leave a link on these Do follow blogs.
Make sure you find blogs that are upto date and have regular updates. Make sure you use Firefox with the Alexa toolbar to check traffic status.
The closer to 1 your alexa ranking is the better the traffic (alexa isn’t perfect but gives you a guide)

Social Bookmarking is a great way of generating plenty of traffic and good quality links back to your site.
Why Social Marker though?
Social Marker is a collection of the best Bookmarking sites and an easy way to submit to multiple sites fast

It is a great way of Bookmarking your posts and articles fast. Social Marker can help you spread a link on 46 of the best social Bookmarking sites in under 15 minutes!

Social Marker is one of Lee McIntyre’s favourite ways to drive traffic without much input and this task involves me to submit to Social Marker.
Task - Submit 1 Article to all 46 Social Bookmarking Sites
Submit 1 post from Blog to all Bookmarking sites on Bookmarker.
Make sure you submit great content and try and stay away from promotional content.
Tip - add the Bookmarker button to your toolbar (see - http://www.socialmarker.com)
When submitting an article from your Blog highlight the descriptive text and click the button on your toolbar. This will pre-populate the Bookmarking details.
The tags to include are just primary tags and should be included in your content - Add about 10 tags.
Conclusion - Took longer than 15 minutes to complete this task but got there in the end. End a few technical issues with a few of the sites but managed to submit to 39.
I noticed a few of the posts show up in Google within less than a hour so this technique is a great way to get yourself indexed and start building up some traffic and backlinks.

The Task -
Using Lee-McIntyre’s blog pick quality posts/articles non promotional and full of content to stumble.
If the site hasn’t been stumbled before you will have to give it a quick review.

Do 5 Articles/Posts on the same Blog then go and do ten other stumbles elsewhere.

People build websites and then try and get traffic to swarm to their site. This can sometimes be a difficult task if you don’t have any experience generating traffic. You then have the issue of the traffic being targeted or just plain traffic.
Now wouldn’t it be easier to go to where the traffic already is.
Places like Forums, Myspace, YouTube, Article Directories, etc.
In this instance we are going to use eBay.
FACT - eBay has over 40,000 sign ups daily and it is forever growing.
The traffic over at eBay is just waiting to be harnessed and used to its full potential. (eBayers normally have their Credit Card in Hand and are Hot to buy something that matches their query)
There is over 42 Million members and this grows daily. There are over 1.5 Billion page views a month…!!
This has obviously got to be harnessed.. How I hear you say.???
Use the About Me page, Classified Adds, etc.
Make sure you have a backend sales funnel set up.
It would be really silly not to use eBay as a traffic source and a lot of Internet Marketers stay away from eBay.
Now go out there and harness the traffic.
Go to the source of the Traffic.
