Increase your RSS Readers with rssHugger

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009
rssHuggerThere doesn’t seem to be a day goes by now that I’m not trying to find ways to improve the Lots of Freebies website or find new ways to encourage new visitors and today is no exception.  Today, I happened to cross a site called rssHugger which is aimed more at bloggers, or at least websites that also include a blog.

rssHugger aims to bring bloggers and readers closer together and provide the blogger with good backlinks provided the content is useful to the reader which is a good for both the blogger and the reader as there is enough junk floating around out there already.

The rssHugger website has some useful features like being able to browse through the blog directory to find blogs which are relevant to you, although I personally would like to see free text search option as well, and in addition there is a random blog option which works similarly to Google’s “I’m feeling lucky” or StumbleUpon.

Boosting Your Website Traffic and Getting More Visitors

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

Boosting Your Website Traffic and Getting More VisitorsIf there’s one question that I get asked by my clients more than any other it’s “How do I get more traffic to my website?” and unfortunately there’s no clear cut answer to it.

An additional problem to this is ensuring that the traffic generated is “quality” traffic and many clients fail to distinguish between general, incentivized and quality traffic, although I believe each have their own uses.

Quality traffic is essentially visitors that are interested in your product or service and there is a chance they will purchase, sign up or refer it on to a friend or colleague. General traffic could of traffic from countries that you don’t offer your services to, and incentivized traffics comes from people clicking on links or adverts in order to complete some kind of offer and this type is generally frowned upon.

Visitors arriving to your website as a result of incentivized traffic usually don’t want your product but are just there to meet the minimum requirements in order to achieve the incentive they’ve been offered. An example of this may be a website which has a section stating “Help keep our site free by click on one of our sponsors”. The visitor is only click the ad in order to keep the services on the referring site free and results in your Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaign paying out for a useless click… another $0.10 down the drain and each $0.10 will soon add up and cost you considerable money… none of this is any good for you!
