When Jeff Wellman emailed me about Dan Higgins, I was kind of dumbfounded…  Who?  I hadn’t heard of him, but when I read through my evaluation copy of his guide, I was impressed.  Dan went from being barely able to pay his mortgage to where he is today in a flash!  All from using the tactics that he outlines in his guide!

My blogs are getting more traffic, thanks to the Social Bookmarking Techniques I learned through Dan and putting them to use.  That is the thing I am going to tell you right now.  Don’t even visit Dan’s website if you are going to buy Dan’s course and then just let it gather dust on your hard drive.  You need to implement it today!  None of this “I’ll get to it when I can,” just do it and see if you don’t get an instant spike in your traffic.

So go get Dan’s Social Marketer Bookmarking Tactics Guide today and get more traffic tomorrow!

Have an amazing day!

If you want to get traffic, you first have to have a page that people are going to be happy to recommend to their friends:

- A lesson or some really useful tips and tricks on how to do something better than the rest.

- A funny or inspiring video or image. Make sure it is buzzworthy.

- A Compilation of really useful information or links

- A well written article that grabs a reader’s attention

- A unique website idea

- Training or instructions on how to do something people are wanting to learn.

- A collection of free ebooks, music etc.

Once you have one of these types of websites, create a StumbleUpon account and vote for your own website. Once you cast that first vote, StumbleUpon will send others to that site. If your site is worthy of additional votes, you will suddenly find yourself inundated with free visitors that you didn’t have to go out looking for.

A good idea is to include a line of text somewhere above the fold that says “If you liked this page, please give it a Stumble! Thank you!”

If you want to increase your visits by StumbleUpon visitors, use your website url in your profile name and in your profile description. That way, when you vote up some previously unstumbled websites, your profile will be shown as the person who has discovered that property and you will get additional traffic.

If you create a couple of additional profiles that are more generic, you can use them to keep building your own traffic, by stumbling upon your own site once a week. You can also add friends and tell them about pages you’d like them to vote for and they can do the same to you.

But for StumbleUpon to work for your website, you must have constructed it properly to begin with.

1. Keep the most interesting images and headlines above the fold, since it only takes seconds for someone to push the stumble button again. You want to captivate your visitor to get them to stay a little longer.

2. Titles should draw the visitor into your page. Headlines and titles are important because those are the first things a visitor usually sees. Use the law of completeness to make someone want to stay…

You start a phrase in the title and promise the reader that they will find out the rest if they read on. “The Three Most Powerful Words That Guarantee People Will Buy Your Product Are…”

3. Use powerful images to hook your readers as they are stumbling by.

With the above steps in place you can use StumbleUpon to make your own website a popular place to visit. If you are only trying to get people to your site for Adsense or affiliate commissions, then you really need to design your pages for maximum stickiness, since people will not stay very long if you have a boring website.

Another good strategy to get traffic back to your website is to post comments to blogs that are about your topic. Commenting on blogs that are not related can cause you to be seen as a spammer, but if the topic of the post relates back to your expertise, then by all means comment on a post. Make an educated comment that shows you as an expert or at least educated in that topic and then add your link. Most blogs have a place to add your URL right in the comment form. This is good for associating your name with your topic, too!

Some of my blogs are:

Resolve To Succeed Now – Where I discuss success principals in everyday life.

Micheal Savoie Welcomes You – Where I discuss what is going on and the lessons that I get from my involvement in them.

Your Directory Website Blog – This blog talks about traffic and how to get more of it.

Product In A Weekend – I discuss product creation methods, tools and tricks.

If you are interested in any of the above topics or you are an expert, feel free to post comments on these blogs and I will approve them if they are relevant to the discussion. Traffic is too vital not to share it with those who add value.

Have an amazing day!
