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!!!

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...

13. Signup for a FREE Clickbank ID...On Clickbank you will find a ton of digital products to promote by placing banners all around on your blog/website and possibly some revenue sharing websites as well...

Use the above steps to jumpstart your online business by posting high-quality unique articles on your blog/website as well as the revenue sharing websites that I have listed above...Start making money online today and building a residual passive income for tomorrow by following these steps...
