Tell me, is it a good idea to barge into a room, toot your own horn and insult the host and other attendees? I haven't seen real good results with that. Some of what you offered here is good, but I disagree with your point about generating traffic just for the point of increasing your visitor count. Huge traffic spikes without correlating interest from your readership provides little value. Blog daily - IF you have something of value to offer daily. There's nothing wrong with Blogger as part of a content marketing strategy. In fact, it's quite useful as it gets indexed quickly. You must have noticed that with your own Blogger blog. And Dofollow is great, but don't fixate on it. Nofollow blogs simply don't pass any page rank to you. Keep in mind that comments are about adding value and continuing the conversation, not just generating backlinks. :-) Hey Bob, since you’re an expert at offline marketing and sales, I assume you’re a master networker.

I needed to learn the on-line world and find that website marketing is multidimensional and this is but a partial checklist of issues for the uninitiated: web site content and number of pages - get each page focused on one keyphrase using metatags, redundancy of the key word and metatags. It still helps to have the domain include the main key phrase (or at least the page URL). Backlinks--contact others with similar websites and get links. Don't buy them--Google is wise to that. The more you can carve out a narrow niche topic, the better. Generate traffic--if you have an email list, the more traffic you can drive to your site (just to get visitor count), the better Blog daily--don't use Blogger. Put the blog on your web site and the continuously updated postings will make you site search engine attractive Make sure your blog is Dofollow and leave comments at all of the related dofollow blogs Since I’m an expert in offline marketing and sales.
