Now that you have a blog and some traffic how are you going to keep the traffic, and make it work for you? This is where some people drop the ball, but not you. You are going to follow some of the following steps and optimize your traffic.

Use your email effectively. This can mean a couple different things. You can set up your RSS so it can be delivered via email. People who like to read in email will use this option and it will make them happy. You can also build a list of readers via an autoresponder. You can send them a teaser email through the autoresponder to get them to come visit and read your blog.

Use subscription. An easy way to get your readers e-mail is to give them an opportunity to subscribe to your blog. Keep some exclusive information for your subscribers to entice readers to subscribe and give their e-mail address. Just be responsible in using their e-mail address, as the last thing you want is a comment on your blog that you are a spammer.

What do your readers want? Do you know? If you don’t you better find out. You can use a simple poll to find out what your readers want more of. Once you know, give it to them. This will create a great relationship between you and your readers. When readers love you they tell others about you.These links and recommendations will only help increase your traffic.

Join the club. The club of blogs that is. There are quite a few blog networks around where you can get together with other bloggers in your niche. By joining these networks you can swap links, and end up sharing traffic. You can get some good feedback on your blog as well as new ideas for topics to blog about.

Use RSS. RSS is the fastest growing technology on the Internet today. As such, having RSS feeds to your blog is definitely another means of generating awareness for your readership base. Having a variety of feeds can add interest to your blog site.

You may think you are blogging for yourself or for money, however, if you aren’t keeping the reader in mind you will be blogging for nothing. The reader is the one that clicks your links or ads, he’s the one who tells his friends about this great blog he just read. Make sure to create a relationship with your readers. The more they feel the connection the more you will feel the connections they have with the rest of the world.

So here is where it started …

I went to a car auction last week. As I walked past the auctioneer he made an odd joke about not wanting to make the big guy upset or anything. My head spun around looking for the big guy that the auctioneer mentioned on his mic.

I did a double take as I realized, hey its me.

About an hour later, a 2004 Chev Impala came down the line of cars and I heard from across the large auction area that it was going for 1600. I quickly shouldered my way thru 2 lanes of cars and people to see it.

By the time I got there, a horde of people had descended on it and the bid started moving quickly upward from 1800.

I walked around it quickly and before I had done that, the price was 2000.

I looked in the window at the odometer and the price went to 2100.

I paused 2 seconds to make a quick decision and the price went to 2200. I started putting up my hand and the darn price went to 2300.

Finally I was noticed and the fast talking auctioneer set the price at 2,350 dollars. Then the strangest thing happened, everyone looked at me and there was silence. The bidding simply stopped.

The talkative auctioneer tried for the next 30 seconds but no one would place another bid on the car. Finally, he made some joke about big arms and frightened competition and the bidding was stopped.

So, I got this medium mileage 2004 Impala, worth about 6,000 for a mere 2350.

So size does matter sometimes.

And how is this related to Internet marketing

I told a friend of mine this story and he said that would not have happened if the auction took place online. And he was right. As an online marketer, seller or buyer, you can do everything in your pajamas, without your makeup, hair piece or eye shadow. You can’t be intimidated by someone else’s physical presence, their perfume, suggestive clothing, aggressive stance or any of those other human aspects.

Picking up a niche market that you believe in, googling it, getting a domain name and using a content managment system like Joomla or WordPress to quickly put up a site, then actively marketing that in similar discussion boards and other blogs is — in one runaway sentence **all you need to do**

Running an online business from home is like a dream job. Demanding, sometimes frustrating but definitely worth the reward for the 5% who figure out how to make it work.

With an online business, to hang around in bed or not is your decision. You can work with your computer on your lap, snuggled up nice and warm under your blankets while others are fighting snow drifts trying to get to work…

Or, and this is my favorite – Get out on a beach. Feel the warm sand under your toes, bring that laptop and try not to let your annoying Attention Deficit Syndrome get the better of you — as scantily clad bodies get between you and your view of the warm inviting water, ahhh I mean your computer screen.

P.S. I am strongly advocating that you attempt to grow a business that enables you to work online however please please never ever buy a car at an online auction. The cameras that you use online to see the cars, do not allow one to smell the exhaust fumes, see the color of the white exhaust fumes or see long dents that might run the entire length of the car. I and many others have stood there and watched peers stop bidding on a car while the online folks continued to run up the price several thousands of dollars past the point that it should have.

People that have websites needing traffic normally find that pay per click can be the most cost effective technique they employ to get that extra traffic. The reason for this is how superior it is against almost every other type of advertising. Quite often the reason people don’t use pay per click is because they just don’t understand it; this article should provide sufficient information to make things clearer.

With very little effort, textual adverts are placed (sometimes with other companies) on other websites that get regular traffic. Then, whenever anyone clicks that ad, they will be taken to your site, and if they stay there for more than five or ten seconds, you will pay the hosting site a very small amount of money.

The sites that provide you with hosting when it comes to this sort of advertisement are usually big with a large amount of traffic and will have some relationship to the product or services that you are trying to put across. However this is not the only advantage because you only pay for the advertising when it is used, which means if someone doesn’t visit your site through the link you do not pay.

Unlike regular advertising which you pay for whether someone takes any notice or not, this way you pay for what gets used. While you may be worried that your competitors might click your ads to drive up your revenues, this is simply not worth their time and does not happen very often. From a business viewpoint, pay per click marketing is extremely effective at targeting the exact market the business wants. Your ad will only show up on sites where people are already interested in something related to what you are offering.

One of the largest pay per click advertising opportunities out there is Google’s Adwords. Google simply creates your advert every time a term or phrase (which you specify) is searched for online through their search system. When you see the results page on entering your search term, you may see the advert at the top of Google’s results or on the right had column.

These instant results cannot be beaten in any other advertising medium and it is that attracts pay per click customers. It doesn’t take very long for you to discover whether you will need to adjust the advert. Almost all top companies will use pay per click as part of their marketing structure because it is perceived as being the most effective.

I have trouble believing that it’s been a whole 3 years since I brought the power of Web 2.0 marketing and social media to the chiropractic profession. After humbly beginning to market on sites like YouTube, and Facebook, my success has grown to countless social media outlets all over the internet. The growth of the Web 2.0 boom could almost be labeled as faster than an online virus expanding for 3 solid years. The internet and communications are continuing to change with every passing second, and this expansion has the ability to expand your chiropractic practice with equal force and intensity. Not only that; the potential for earning multiple forms of income, simultaneously, is amazing.

There was once a time when chiropractors paid ungodly amounts of money on marketing and advertising. Actually, chiropractors are still doing that. But the difference is that those tactics do not work in this age. In fact, they’re a huge waste of money and chiropractors are suffering because of it. When you step into the present and embrace the methods that are working today, you’re giving your practice a chance to survive and even thrive in these difficult times.

Even though times are really rough, there are people out there who are making phenomenal amounts of money, because they know where to do it! The internet and Web 2.0 are the goldmine at the end of the rainbow, and so few people in the chiropractic business are even looking there for it! Are you going to try, or stay behind in the rain?

Here are just a few of the sites that can dramatically transform your chiropractic practice, and earn you phenomenal amounts of wealth and success 24 hours a day. Try YouTube.com, Digg.com, Squidoo.com, EzineArticles.com, StumbleUpon.com, Facebook.com, Myspace.com, Free-Press-Release.com, WordPress.com, Photobucket.com, and eHow.com. These are the Web 2.0 powerhouses, and they’re just the beginning.

I could easily list over 200 websites but for times sake, we’ll keep it at a few. It’s important to have a systematic blueprint or checklist to run-through when learning to harness the power of social media. The good news is that you, as a practicing chiropractor, DO NOT have to do it all yourself. These tasks can be very simple to outsource if you understand and have a little direction.

Even the straightforward and leveraged-based strategies that I use can be easily taught to any CA or marketing director. When you have an open mind and are teachable, you too can learn these practices that have enormous potential for success.

You can even make your practice an online money-maker with Web 2.0 social media. There’s nothing that beats getting-up in the morning and knowing that Web 2.0 has been working for you throughout the night, making more money and connections. Sometimes it seems like a dream that business can happen so effortlessly and successfully, but there are other chiropractors who are living this dream, so I know it’s a reality.

When you create other forms of income while marketing your practice online, you make your practice entirely recession-proof; nothing can stop you. You need to be courageous and an innovator to do this. You have to think out of the box and ride the wave of the future.

Concentrate on providing a large amount of value to your existing and potential patients on the web. This medium allows you to put yourself in front of a local and global audience eager to hear what you have to say. Don’t fret, you are an expert in your own right. Trust me, you have plenty to talk about even though you might not see it yet. You could take a specific aspect of your chiropractic practice (nutrition, personal injury, back-pain, etc…) and develop a YouTube video channel around it with a series of weekly videos, as an example.

Be one of the innovators who are achieving unbelievable success online with Web 2.0. You can simultaneously make multiple avenues of streaming income that only add to the power of your practice.

If you are an affiliate marketer who wants to make a living from referring your prospects to other peoples product or service for decent commissions, then you must consider building your own mailing list.

Building your mailing list of hungry prospects can be one of the best investments you will ever make, as it is time and effort worth spending on. When you strike on a Joint Venture and have a new product or service to endorse, you can look no further than your own mailing list.

Granted, that most affiliates, as in more than 90 percent of them, are not making money from affiliate programs, but this often results from the same amount of effort focused on least effective methods.

While having your own mailing list is not the only effective affiliate marketing method, you can make affiliate sales very quickly even in the next few hours after sending a sales message, provided that your mailing list is huge and responsive.

This is often true, because owning your own mailing list for you to endorse products and services to is one of the fastest-producing results, beating other affiliate marketing methods imaginable.

In a nutshell, the affiliate marketer who gets ahead of the pack is the one who owns a huge and responsive mailing list of prospects.

It was not long ago that Flickr was an emerging phenomenon, which captivated people with the wide array of pictures it had, and got millions of users in no time. In a relatively short period of time Flickr has matured as one of the leading photo sharing platforms and been snapped up by Yahoo!

The reason for that is: Flickr has evolved from a photo sharing platform to something which can be effectively utilized to market your website, products or services, and is easy to use as well as effective. Not a lot of people look at Flickr that way, but it is a great source for referral traffic.

Referral Traffic Comments

A pretty picture, which is tagged well and shows up in searches, is quite likely to get popular very soon on Flickr. If you see such a picture and it is filed under the Creative Commons License, you can use this picture on your website (on a related post) and then link back to it.

After linking back; in the comments section — thank the photographer and write a couple of lines describing the context in which you used his photograph. Be sure to leave the link of your webpage, so that people can see and click it. The key here is giving a crisp description about the context in which you have used the picture.

This makes your comment stand out of the crowd, and people take notice and click on it. This can help drive more traffic than you ever thought possible because of the huge number of Flickr users.

Digg

Flickr has a big tendency of getting into the front pages of Digg. As a frequent Digg user, I see that a lot of pages that make to the Digg front page are from Flickr. And once you reach the front page of Digg; millions of users will be headed your way. It is only natural that these Digg users read the comments on those pictures to try and find out more about the story of the picture and what others thought about it.

This means that millions of Digg users are going to see your links and some of them will eventually click it too. Whenever a picture that you have used from Flickr features on a Digg page “ you will also see a spurt in traffic. This spurt will be temporary, but, a lot of these first time visitors will subscribe to your RSS feed and this will give you a boost in your average traffic forever.

Conclusion

The best part about using Flickr as a medium to drive traffic to your blog is that you get great pictures that enhance the quality of your website, and after Flickr made all its outgoing links “ Nofollow; a lot of people have lost interest in it “ meaning the spammers have left the party and there is plenty of room for people with genuine content like you.
