Video: How to Build a High Traffic Blog

I recently had the pleasure of coming across this presentation by Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Workweek (name of both his book and blog) on “how to build a high traffic blog without killing yourself.”

Generally, I don’t like to sit around and watch videos especially ones that are just shy of an hour long.  The reality is that most don’t offer any information of real value. However, I must admit I was instantly engaged in this presentation for some reason and was rewarded with a lot of great stuff. 

I have embedded the video below for your convienence and also included some notes below the video in which I took away from this presentation in case you don’t have 50 minutes to check it out.

Notes From Tim Ferriss Presentation:

  • Change the word “Category” that appears in most side bars to the word “Topics”.
  • Place in the sidebar at the top “Most Popular” section in which offers the ability to select from several different options:
    • Current Hits
    • All Time Popular
    • My Favs
  • Perhaps had a similar RSS strategy such as 7 Reasons To Subscribe
  • Remove dates from the individual blog page posts. It is okay to keep the dates on the blogs main pages but when someone clicks through a search engine for example credibility can be lost based on how old the post is.
  • Add total read time to the post.
    • Average person can generally read about 25o words per minute.
  • Twitter Opportunities: Polling, Surveys, Personal Diary.
  • Be carefull as Twitter can cost you by sending people, especially new visitors, out of your website.
  • When you get writters block… write about what makes you angry. Avoid calling individuals or people out as there is enough negativity in the world. Just write about the topic.
  • When do I do my best work? For Tim it was between 1AM and 5AM. What time is generally my best. <— I need to discover the answer.
  • Edit Posts By Hand… <— An idea I never really thought about
  • Ignore SEO on first draft
    • If you want to increase SEO afterwards research using Google’s average key word tool; by volume.
  • Two topics on one post = Bad Idea
  • Short video is good; doesn’t always need to be long to be a valuable addition to your site.
  • Don’t always chase the news… It is tiresome.
  • Zero Tolerance Policy on blog; “It’s like me inviting you to my home”.
  • Add Comment Rules…
    • Example: Comment Rules = Comment Rules: Remember what Fonzie was like? Cool. That’s how we’re gonna be — cool. Critical is fine, but if you’re rude, we’ll delete your stuff. Please do not put your URL in the comment text and please use your PERSONAL name or initials and not your business name, as the latter comes off like spam. Have fun and thanks for adding to the conversation! (Thanks to Brian Oberkirch for the inspiration)
  • Emails I receive can provide effective ideas for future blog posts
  • Comments can also provide ideas for future blog posts

Here are some resources in which I noted throughout the presentation:

  • Ever Note – Software
  • Tucker Max – Book
  • Stumple Upon – Good Traffic Source and impressed with advertising results.
  • Digg
  • Flickr

Win 1 Year Free Web Hosting Service

Yesterday, I mentioned that July is my favorite month of the year because we have the pleasure, honor, and opportunity to celebrate our independence. Unfortunately, the other times of the year it seems to escape reality on how truly lucky we are to have our independence. I love seeing the fireworks, spending time with family, and thinking about the men and women who have provided the ultimate sacrifice for our continued freedom. However, more than anything I love seeing the American Flag being displayed more than ever. Sadly, we have gotten out of the habit of displaying our famous colors more often through out the year. Personally, I have an American Flag displayed every day at my home location.

I could probably talk all day about the flag and how proud I am to be an American but you probably want to hear about the contest where you can win 1 year free web hosting service from us. So here is the details:

  1. One lucky person will win 12 months free web hosting on our Basic Web Hosting Plan.
    1. Existing Clients will receive this in the form of a credit on there account regardless of there particular hosting plan. Credit to be applied is $5.95 x 12 months = $71.40
    2. New customers will be given the option to take this as a credit and upgrade there hosting plan. Credit to be applied is $5.95 x 12 months = $71.40
  2. No purchase necessary to win but must be at least 18 years of age or older to participate.
  3. Prize is not redeemable for a cash reward; only web hosting service is being offered for 12 months.
  4. To participate all you need to do is leave a comment below telling us what “Independence Day” means to you. Our staff at AvekHost.com will vote on one comment to win the 12 months free web hosting on our Basic Web Hosting Plan Package.

I look forward to seeing your comments and opinions soon.

Really Awesome WordPress Review Site Plug-In

I recently had the pleasure of coming across a really cool WordPress plug-in called WP Review Site . It is a premium plug-in meaning you can’t download it free but to be honest with the money making potential from a plug-in like this is simply endless. Before you ask, the answer is Yes, I did purchase this product and currently using it! I love it…

awhpreview

WP Review Site enables you to your WordPress blog in to a full blown review site. Whether you want to have a review site for web hosting companies like AvekHost or review site for digital cames then opportunity is there and endless.

By using this plug-in you can create multiple categories for users/consumers to review a product or service on. Instead of the user seeing your standard comment section on an article post, they will see the comment section with a powerful review future included. You can see it in action on iHostCoupons.com.

Here is a few snap shots of this great plug-in…

1. Blog Post Article – Is transformed into an opportunity to post information about the product or service. It displays an overall rating based collectively on the reviews left in what used to be the comment section of your wordpress blog. Add Google Adsense for additional revenue making opportunities!

WPSampleSiteInfo

2. Abilty To Create Top 10 Ranking – This function enables you to allow your site visitors to see the top 10 rated products or services. For example, maybe you are maintaining a review site on digitial cameras you would see the top 10 cameras in this list based on the overall review.

WpReview

3.  Comment Section Transformed – This section looks very similar with the exception that the individual providing a comment can rate the product/service based on a few various categories.

WPCommentsSection

4. Ability To See Reviews By Others – No different than a blogs ability to display user comments; users can see the review written by other users including how many stars the provided for each category.
