Here’s another source of social traffic: 25peeps.
It’s a single page with links to 25 bloggers.
25peeps is stated by Germany-based Hendrik Mans and the service is pretty decent SEOwise, having a PR5, Alexa 241k.
Here’s a snapshot of the page:
Here’re my observations: (more…)
PlanetAndrea just alerted me to this.
UK-based Search Engine Optimization (SEO) specliast David Naylor has just announced the launch of his new Social Networking site TickMe (TickMe – New Social Networking Site).
Ok, so you may or may not be socially inept, but the fact is that TickMe can help you expand your network, project a different persona in your profile, or simply generate more traffic for your blog, website, portal.
I’m expecting that Terry from Kineda will be coming over very shortly to set up something. And we could use more pictures of Scarlett Johannson and Japanese Race Queens, can’t we?
TickMe’s interesting because there’s a system in place to protect your ego.
According to David:
It’s a bit like Myspace/Faceparty but with more privacy and a dating slant. It’s all very simple. Log in and “tick†someone you like the look of. They won’t know you’ve ticked them unless they tick you back and you get a mutual tick! Cut out all the nonsense and be sure that the people you’re communicating with are on the same wavelength.
That may be true, but if you you look at the profiles:

Regular readers will know that social traffic generation is a pet topic of mine, and you’d be surprised that about 70-80% of the traffic to this blog originates from social origins (typically a blog, forum or social networking site), rather than from the search engines.
Social traffic can be a very powerful tool if you know how to use it well, and can draw traffic faster as the traffic comes immediately.
Social Traffic Generation is heavily reliant on the 11th factor: Write Well. Which is detailed in 10 Ways to a Killer Blog.
The principle works this way: You want to post high quality content on other sites such that your readers want to find out more about you and read your content. Hence they pop over to your site.
Having a good traffic mix is important
Forums in particular are a great source of traffic. Especially if (more…)

On with the show:
Have a Voice
Having a voice personalizes your blog. The top blogs are read not so much for their factual content, but often the ‘spin’, interpretation or analysis of the facts.
You can choose to be informative, instructional, funny, maybe even (more…)
Talk about a compelling offer.
I was checking out Shoemoney’s post “Elite Retreat Ticket For One Lucky Winner” .
Blogging Guru Dave Taylor, SEO Specialist Aaron Wall, Forum and Communities Specialist Lee Dodd, Jeremy “Shoemoney” Schoemaker, Dave Taylor again!
Forum Guru Lee Dodd has posted at his ForumTrends blog that the 4 gurus: Shoemoney, Dave Taylor, Aaron Wall and Lee have decided to put up one ticket for the event (valued at $4,850 by the way).
Just head over to Lee’s blog, read the instructions and best of luck!
The deadline’s Dec 11th, noon CST. There’s a couple of hours to go.
I’d have loved to try for the contest, though the event clashes with a family holiday.
Ah, well, maybe next time.
If you do enter the contest, and win, post a comment!
Internet Marketers can be unpredictable.
Especially after an info-packed gruelling 4 days of seminars.
Andrew Wee, David Cavanagh and hapless WIS Singapore participant
It was a pleasure to meet David Cavanagh after talking to him on the Warrior Forum (in honesty, we were commenting on the same threads.)
And he’s surely one of the most colorful personalities I’ve met thus far.
If WIS has an award for “Most (more…)
