Seductive Man

My brother was talking to me about building site traffic. He was looking at some of his favorite blogs and none of them give any worthwhile advice on how to build traffic. I decided to look into the subject with a google search and I found some stuff that was pretty entertaining in my opinion. Here is what everyone recommends:

1. Create Valuable Content
2. Create Original Content
3. Create Timeless Content
4. Blah
5. Blah
6. Blah

This is the advice you get from all over the place on the intertubes. These brain trusts are so loaded with wisdom that there advice is “If you build it they will come.” That’s like telling a resturant, “If you have comfortable seats and good food people will eat at your resturant.”

No one says word one about ADVERTISING.

Come on internet Gurus, where is the sage advice. Some say SEO but that is hit or miss. Some say pay per click but that can get real pricey real quick and still not provide any regular traffic. Some say be active in your community. Well that is a good way to spend hours procrasterbating about your niche until you get thoroughly burned out.

Isn’t there someone out there who knows their stuff who can say:

1. Go here and look for terms in your niche
2. Go here and learn how to make custom PPC ads for ad words
3. Go here and do a search using keywords in you niche

Oh, wait, I just did.

One more thing, do you see the share this tag just below this paragraph? Social Bookmarking is a nice forth way to advertise. It’s basic but it’s the 20% that will get you 80% there.
