When Marketers Keep Their Silence…

So you wanna make money on the internet but you don't know how?

Here's a simple trick, so listen carefully...

It's not about how much traffic you get. It's certainly not about how irresistible a certain offer is. It's all about the connection between your credit-card-in-hand traffic and the products you recommend.

In other words, what you need is "targeted" traffic, and there's a very easy way to get it.

Just recently, I saw a brilliant question on a big marketing forum. The moment I saw that question I knew it wasn't going to get many responses. The ones who did speak out didn't actually understand the question. The ones who didn't deliberately kept their silence.

I keep an eye on that thread and will eventually share what no one wants to share.

It's not a secret. It's better than that.

To be continued!

Ping for Website Traffic

I am not too worried about the amount of website traffic I get at this time. Cashtrix dot com is a brand-new marketing site and like all new sites, it's a bit of a waiting game in the beginning.

Now, unless your main concern is getting people to click on your adsense ads (*), you can't go wrong with writing good content.

(*)Adsense is Google's revenue sharing program. Each time someone clicks an Adsense ad, Google gives a percentage to the owner of the site on which the ad was served.

Since I decided not to place adsense ads on my website - there's really no point to do that right now - I will focus my attention on writing good content. It might capture someone's attention...

Write, publish and ping
Each time you publish a new post, your wordpress installation automatically notifies a couple of blog directories by means of a pinging service.

I prefer to disable that feature because I wish to keep control over the amount of times I send out a ping (hint: once a day) so that blog directories don't think I am spamming them.
To disable, go to your dashboard, click "settings", click "writing", remove the listed update services and click on "save changes".

Now that you disabled it, you must do it manually. I try Ping-o-Matic first, and if that one stalls, I switch to autopinger or pingates.

It's really easy to do, and it gives your site some exposure and back-links. But don't expect a traffic explosion because you're headed for a big disappointment. Just do it because every little bit (and ping) helps. It really does.

Next time, I will talk about social bookmarking. Till then!
