Hey Everybody,

I received this cool email from Kim Roach yesterday that I thought was worth passing on. Kim always has great stuff.

Here it is:

I hope you’re just as excited as I am that the weekend is finally here!

But before you put your party hat on, I want to share a cool traffic trick that I just discovered.

This one is super simple and can bring you hundreds of extra visitors.

Here’s how it works…

First, you need to go to Google and type in the following search queries:

“Daily Link Roundup”
“Weekly Link Roundup”
“Monday Link Roundup”
“Friday Link Roundup”
“Link Roundup”

If you want to find blogs that are specifically related to your market, then you can add a modifier. Something like:

“Weekly Link Roundup” + parenting
“Weekly Link Roundup” + marketing
“Weekly Link Roundup” + moms

Simply attach your main keyword to the search query.

This will give you a list of blogs that do weekly link roundups. Link roundups are basically where blogger’s post their favorite links and articles each week in what’s called a Link Roundup.

Best of all, there are thousands of blogs that do this on every imaginable topic.

Now here’s where you come in…

Once you’ve found a related blog that does link roundups you can then contact the blog owner and send them a link to your very best content from your own blog.

If you’ve published truly great content, then there’s a very good chance that they will link to you in their weekly link roundup.

This gives you a high-quality backlink and sends you some laser targeted traffic.

This is an extremely powerful technique that I see VERY few people using online.

But it’s super simple and can send you lots of highly-targeted traffic.

Have Fun!

How To Generate Traffic To My Website

Targeted vs Non-Targeted

How to generate traffic to your website is a major concern for anyone who starts an internet business. Flash, hot graphics matter little if I don’t generate traffic to my website.

You must create website traffic in the same way as a brick & mortar business must have a constant flow of customers coming through its doors. It’s called marketing.

Free Report: What’s The Fastest Way to Get FREE Traffic?

I live in a large metropolitan city on the East Coast. When a new business opens downtown, they start a marketing blitz.There’s people handing out fliers up and down the streets, there’s a huge “GRAND OPENING” sign out in front of the business, T.V. ads, radio ads, giveaways, contests – you name it. Why? To get people in the door. Some businesses depend on walk-in traffic while others, like specialty shops, located at a mall rely on traffic generated by the major retail “anchor” stores. In addition to their own advertisement, they receive spill-over traffic generated by the major retailers like Sears, Macy’s, JC Penney, etc.

Targeted Website Traffic

Simply put, “Targeted Traffic” is traffic that you drive to your site based on your specific product or niche. Think of it as the difference between searching online for: “Hotel” – Very general “Downtown Hilton Hotel” – Targeted. Obviously, if you were in the hotel business, you would want to attract visitors to your website that are looking for hotels in general, but were specifically looking for your hotel. Perhaps they are member of your Hotel Bonus Club, conventioneers, or vacationers and they have prior knowledge or experience with your hotel. As a result, they might be looking for a location of your hotel at their destination point. Proper Search Engine Optimization will produce improved website traffic through better search engine placement. A properly optimized site will rank higher in the search engines. This placement is like a great “location” used in the above example.

Promote Website Traffic

There are many ways to promote website traffic. Cheap website traffic (FREE) is by far probably the easiest method for Internet Marketing Newbies. You can also purchase website traffic using PPC (Pay-Per_Click) services like Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing or MSN’s Search Advertising. And, you can purchase website traffic from paid directories and through banner campaigns places on high PR (Page Rank) sites. All of these websites traffic generation methods will work. Some will produce a greater volume of website traffic than others, but it’s important to keep in mind, that they all require effort. There is no “magic-bullet” that will generate “instant website traffic”".
