Web Traffic Technique- The Funnest Ever

by CalvinMcCarthy

Do you love your blogging career, but think that driving website traffic to the blog (as you must do) is b-o-r-i-n-g? Let me tell you--it doesn't have to be that way. There is a way of driving website traffic to your blog that is, believe it or not, fun. It's called social networking. With social networking, you use sites like Digg, Twitter, and even Facebook to make people interested in seeing what you have to say. You don't "sell", you just network.

Blogging is an easy way for you to earn money by doing nothing more than you already do - post to your blog. Do what you love and the money will come.

These friends will always know when you have made a new digg and they are likely to come pay it a visit. You can and should do the same with them. Many people think that Digg is really for sharing interesting news and journalism, but you can share anything there---including videos.

You can also ask them to digg your favorite articles and digg them back in return. Ask for willing voters, configure a panel of 50 members none of whom should be friends of the authors. They provide preliminary rating.

You can follow people on Twitter, and they can follow you. When someone on Twitter is following someone else, the person's ID is made available in their (the follower's) profile, so that they can easily and quickly access their profile. They can direct message anyone who is following them, too.

Twitter has a "nudge" feature that reminds you to post if you haven't done so for awhile. So keep the posts coming, but don't inundate your audience. Twitter is defined by the tweet, a word used to describe the up to 140 character postings of its users. Tweets answer the famous questions that should be answered by any piece of journalism (and micro-blogging of the Twitter kind is no exception): who, why, how, what and where?

Twitter originally said they removed this feature because it was confusing, before later admitting that it had technical issues. This brings us back to the post at hand.

You can include the information for how to get to your blog in your profile. Make your tweets interesting and entertaining and people will check you out and visit you. You should include a photograph in your profile, and you should not tweet more than five times a day so that you don't get thought of as a spammer.

Facebook is one of the single most-visited websites in the world, and its popularity among college-aged students provides a unique opportunity for libraries to redefine how they interact with students.

Facebook is fun, quick, easy and has lots of playtoys and games and friends. You can write what you want and take full responsibility with nobody accusing you of hurting people or misrepresenting the field.

Social networking sites allow you to get all the traffic you need.
