My Alexa Traffic Rank Is REALLY Getting Better, Yippee!!!

Work Hard To Build Your Business And It Will Pay Off!!!

WAHM Shelley has been busy as a beaver focusing daily on SEO and traffic generation methods and I really think it's starting to pay off...WooHoo!!!...My global Alexa Traffic Rank for WAHM-Shelley.blogspot.com was 23,412,958 on November 17, 2011 and now twelve days later it is 15,276,239...Yippee!!!...

For those of you that are unaware a higher Alexa Traffic Rank (lower number) indicates the popularity of your website...Both it's popularity with search engines and within the country (in my case, it is within the U.S.)...Some say that when you install the Alexa Toolbar your Alexa Traffic Rank will increase as well...But some people also say that when they have multiple sites their lower ranked site will get more traffic than their higher ranked site...

I have noticed a regular steady increase in traffic over the past few weeks for both of my blogs that I have been working on: This Crazy Life !!! and The Ultimate WAHM Experience...I've been writing what I consider to be high quality unique content in posts/articles on both of my blogs and at revenue sharing websites...Although I must admit that since I have spent a lot of time tweaking little things that are not readily visible to the average visitor, it's taken time away from my article marketing... I am hoping that soon I can have both blogs optimized so that I can focus on writing more informative articles (i.e. article marketing) and building niche websites (i.e. niche marketing)...FYI, posting high quality unique articles on revenue sharing websites will not only help you earn more money, but you will get backlinks too...

This is really a worthwhile journey, because I like the daily challenges of figuring things out and sharing them here at my WAHM Shelley blog to help you start or build your internet marketing business...I know I have a while to go til I reach the point where, I feel as though, I have arrived with these two starter blogs, but I'll just keep working every day that I can to build my online business by generating more organic FREE traffic, so that I can make more money...

If you have some kudos you'd like to share about how you've used SEO to build the Alexa Traffic Rank of your blog/website, please do so below in the comments, because we'd like to visit your website to check it out and make some thoughtful comments...Thanks for stopping by...Y'all come back now ya hear!!!

Every Day is a New Opportunity to Do Your Best Work

Start and End Every Day of Working to Build Your Business Putting Forth Your Best Actions

That's the moral of the story below, as I see it:

"An elderly carpenter was ready to retire, and he told his boss of his plans to leave and live a more leisurely life with his wife. He would miss the paycheck, he could get by, but he needed to retire.

The contractor was sorry to see such a good worker go, and he asked the carpenter to build just one more house as a personal favor.

The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

When the carpenter finished his work, the contractor came to inspect the house. He handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," contractor said. "It is my gift to you."

The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.

So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then with a shock we realize we have to live in the house we have built.

If we could do it over, we would do it much differently. But we cannot go back...

You are the carpenter of your life. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Your attitudes and the choices you make today build your "house" for tomorrow..." [Author Unknown]

Did you put forth your best work today???...Did you start by setting achievable goals/affirmations for the day???...Did you take massive action to deliver your best service for your customers, partners, prospects and business???...Are you satisfied and ready to live in the "house" that you've built???...Start your business daily with the mindset aiming to deliver quality service and products so your business will flourish and you will make more money...

Black Friday's Best For Blog Building Top 6 List WE 11/25/2011

Black Friday 2011 is coming to a close, but thankfully there's Cyber Monday!!!...So the Black Friday week's deals are still plentiful this year...Well speaking of deals, WAHM Shelley has uncovered some great tools for you to use to build your online business...This week we have six terrific tools for you to use to make more money with your website or blog...

The first three finds are actually top lists from best-reviewer.com...For those of you that haven't heard about best-reviewer yet, it is another great revenue sharing website...James Colin, best-reviewer's webmaster, gives 100% of the Google Adsense revenue profits to you, the reviewer that posts a top list from three to twenty items long...

Well anyway social media marketing is becoming increasingly more important for all marketers whether they are article marketers, affiliate marketers, internet marketers or even network marketers (also known as MLM, multi-level marketers)...And the three top lists from best-reviewer include tools or apps that you can use for your social media marketing efforts...Namely they are:

• Top 15 List Of Best Facebook Applications
• Top 10 Twitter Applications You Must Know !
• Top 10 Free Video Editing Online Tools And Software

So, jump on those tools to get more mileage out of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube or whatever video sharing website that you choose...And of course you can always post videos on your own website or blog or even in articles that you publish on revenue sharing websites too...

Speaking of publishers, the next find for this week is Zimbio...And straight from the website itself it says,

"Zimbio is an interactive magazine publisher focused on entertainment, style, current events, and other pop culture topics.  Zimbio.com, one of the fastest growing web publications and one of the 10 most popular magazines on the web, is now read by over 20 million people each month."

... Since Zimbio is FREE to join, I don't think you can go wrong writing articles and publishing them at Zimbio...The best thing that I truly love about Zimbio is that you can syndicate your blog posts directly to Zimbio, quickly and easily...These services should be really good for generating more traffic from backlinks to your website...

Next up is Pingomatic, a backlink generating FREE tool...You can read more about it for yourself right on their website...But here's a snipet: 

"What is this?

Ping-O-Matic is a service to update different search engines that your blog has updated."

...So there ya have it...

Last but not least for you Tweeters out there, is TrueTwit a SPAM eliminating tool to automatically validate real tweeters from automated "bot" tweeters...That's crazy sounding right...You need an automated tool to shield you from other peoples automated tools..Oh well, that's just how the cookie crumbles these days...Because all of the Guru internet marketers will tell you that once you have a system that works well for you, the next thing that you must do is find a way to automate it so that you can spend your time and
energy on creative tasks that automated systems can not produce...

Well that's a wrap for this week's best business building bargains...Now get on out there and start your online business if you haven't taken any action yet or grow, grow, grow your business to make more money online...Don't forget to stop by next week for the latest traffic generating tools you can use...

Quick Steps to Make Money Online

How to Make Money Online

Follow these steps to make money online:

1.  Gmail, Facebook and Twitter accounts are essential to your online business...You will use them to promote your articles/blogs...First you will need a Gmail account and then you will use that account to signup for both Facebook and Twitter...Choose usernames for all three accounts according to the niche market that you will be working with...In other words, you will need to start thinking about your business in terms of the customers that you are trying to help and/or what their problem is...Always use the best keywords or keyword phrases that represent your target audience...
   
    e.g. FREEdesktopbackgrounds4u@gmail.com being sure to include the best keywords for your niche

    e.g. healthadvice4u as a Facebook or Twitter user ID again being sure to include the best keywords for your niche

2.  Sign up for bitly service...You will shorten your URLs here and it will track them for you to let you know when someone clicks through one of them...Then you will use the shortened URLs for tweeting and adding URLs from Amazon Associates to your Best-Reviewer "top lists" for instance...

3.  Get your FREE MYCPS ebook to guide you on how to put your content and blog/website together...

4.  Get your Amazon Associates affiliate ID so that you can monetize your website/blog, plus your Wizzley and Best-Reviewer articles...

5.  Use this FREE Character count tool to check the number of words or characters that are in your articles...

6.  Go to Blogger to set up two to three FREE blogs (or as many blogs as you like) for posting articles and placing ads and affiliate links on for monetization...You will use one of these blogs to do exercises in article writing, according to James' method....Although I used the term "exercises" this is a REAL blog and this method will automatically generate traffic to your blog...Come up with a catchy name that will be a catch-all because you will be writing about a variety of topics (including sports, beauty, technology, computers, art and humanities)... Try to quickly write 20 articles only about 500 characters each (NOT WORDS)...Look at this blog, because I use James' method to populate it...The other 1-2 blogs will be about niche markets (e.g. flower arranging, basket weaving, making money on eBay, etc.)...So be sure to include as many keywords as you can in your blog name...

7.  Get a Wizzley account..Signup for this account to start writing articles...Simply go from the settings tab in your account page to apply for your revenue generating affiliations to start making money with your articles...The revenue generating affiliations and tools include:

•  Amazon Associates ID
•  AllPosters Website ID
•  Zazzle Associate ID
•  Google AdSense ID
•  Google AdSense Channel
•  Google Analytics

      Step-by-step guides are included for each of the above, right in the revenue section on your settings tab which is accessed from "My account" in the navigation bar at the top of the page...

8.  Get an InfoLinks account by applying once you have about 20 or so articles on one of your blogs/websites...You will need this account to monetize your blogs and possibly revenue sharing websites...

9.  Get a FREE Best-Reviewer membership  once you have your Google Adsense ID...You will then write "top lists" like the "The top 3 things you need when you get a new cat", "The top 5 places to get a cheesesteak sub/hoagie in Philadelphia" or "The top 20 baby boy names for 2011"...you will add links in your "top lists" to Amazon products from your Amazon Associates account or to your blogs as appropriate...In addition you can write a short article about a salary like "How much money does Martha Stewart make?" or "How much money does Bill Gates make?" or "How much money does Warren Buffet make?", etc...See a sample article here...

10. Signup for a FREE Squidoo account...Squidoo is a nice revenue sharing website where you can post articles while adding content from Amazon and eBay for monetization (no affiliate ids required, i think)...You will add links from your "lenses" to your blogs as appropriate...You can also add a RSS feed from your "top lists" on Best-Reviewer and your blogs...

11. Signup for YouSayToo to automatically bring traffic to your blogs, once the links are set up from YouSayToo to your blogs/websites...This is where most of my traffic comes from daily...You will add links (RSS feeds) from your blogs for backlinks...It automatically pulls content from your blog after you intall a little HTML code on your blog/website...

12. Get NetBlaze which is a proven system to drive FREE traffic to your blog/website...

The first three finds for this week are terrific for developing your content in your article marketing empire... Numbers 4, 5 and 8 are some of the best revenue sharing websites around...So, without further ado here's the "Top 8 List" for this week...


1) Before you begin writing your article or posts or even before you begin a new niche marketing venture, you must know what the keywords are that will pay you more money or convert your traffic from browsers to customers...That's where The Keyword Academy comes in...Even though the membership is reasonably priced, they offer you a FREE 30-Day trial of their system...They truly are teaching people how to make money online...The Keyword Academy provides a checklist for your first 100 hours of work with their blueprint system... The "First 100 HOurs" is what you will use to succeed at selecting keywords and building websites for your targeted niche...Their goal is to help as many people as they can to earn $1000 per month...Will you be next???...

3) FREE Word and Character Counter:  Just copy and paste your draft post or article into this tool from notepad and click either the "calculate words" or "calculate characters" button to find out if you have reached your goal...FYI, it is typically recommended to have your article lengths be at least 400-500 words long...

4) Best-Reviewer.com is one of the coolest AdSense revenue sharing websites around...James Colin has come up with a true gem with this one...You simply come up with your top ten (or so) list of things that you want to talk about and write a quick article about it...It is genius because from what I understand Google and perhaps the other search engines LOVE "Top Lists"...So you can expect a lot of traffic coming to Best-Reviewer.com for no other reason than this...So you just have to be crafty in selecting your topic or niche that you want to talk about and then be even more selective in choosing the right keywords and keyword phrases to get noticed by the search engines, to get more traffic and hence earn more money through ads on your "Top List"... So now just spring back up to the number one resource for this week for more on choosing the best keywords...

5) YouSayToo is really the best thing that's happened to my blogs this week, because just as they say it has increased traffic to my blogs...You consolidate your blogs there and you get more exposure and more money through revenue sharing from AdSense and Amazon Associates to boot...The best part for me is that I didn't have to go there and come up with new original content for YouSayToo, they just automatically feed directly from my blogs all the new posts as soon as they are published...Isn't that cool?...

6) Get your FREE Amazon Associates affiliate account here...Not only can you earn money through revenue sharing sites like InfoBarrel and YouSayToo, but you can build out your own stores and pick and choose to sell anything from the vast selection of products that are available on Amazon.com including: books, DVDs, toys, electronics, kitchen tools, food and spices, jewelry and much, much more...

7) Bitly is a great little tool that you will use for Twitter or anywhere that you like, and the basic account is FREE to use...It's easy to use too...You just sign up for your FREE account and then paste your long URLs into the box that says "Shorten your links and share from here" and then click the "Shorten" button...And then not only will your URL be shortened, but it will also be logged into your history link list where it will be tracked so that you will know exactly how many times it was clicked...It's convenient to use this tool to shorten your URL for the Twitter service because they only allow 140 characters...

8) Squidoo...need I say more...Well, I actually did already and if you missed it go here...
