Here is a quick and simple way to increase traffic to your website or blog that will require very little work. If you run a website or even blog, you most likely have noticed that you get a traffic boost when you post new content. This traffic then slowly dies down. The reason for this traffic boost is normally due to the promotion you have done for the new article you have posted. You most likely tweeted your article, as well as posted it to several social bookmarking sites. This is what gets you that initial boost for your article.

The problem is, most webmasters and bloggers do this process once then move on to trying to come up with their next article or new content to get that boost again. My question to them is…why stop?

If you are like me, you have many articles and pages that you have put a lot of work into, however they have fallen off your homepage and deep, deep within your site’s navigation. The only way they are found is through Google. My tip to increasing your traffic is as simple as going into your site and digging out this old content and posting it your Twitter account and your social bookmarking websites. Yes, it really is that simple. (more…)

In the past, when people or businesses needed a product or service they would turn to the phonebook sitting in their kitchen cabinet. If your business was not listed or your advertisement was not the biggest and greatest, you were overlooked and lost out on the business. Because of this, businesses both small and large paid a fortune to have the biggest and best advertisement. Thank goodness this situation is a thing of the past.

The new phonebook is the Internet, more specifically the search engines of the internet. Most people and businesses now visit their favorite search engine, Google for example, to find their products and services. For businesses, this is a more effective way of advertising their small business and can be a lot cheaper than using the phonebook. This only works for your small business if you have a presence on the internet. (more…)
