Getting Traffic to Your Website From Beyond the Internet
Posted by: | CommentsOne place you may not be looking at for getting traffic to your website is outside the Internet. While it’s true that information travels faster on the World Wide Web and that you can reach far away places, the value of promoting your website “in the real world” shouldn’t be underestimated. There are many opportunities for this, and you don’t have to rely on search engines.
Put Your Web Address on Business Cards
Business cards are a great place to start “real world advertising” for your web address. They’re inexpensive, and you can take them with you wherever you go. You can often leave them on store displays and counters.
Let’s say that you’re going to a marketing convention. You will naturally want to have business cards there to get your name out among your peers.

Using Affiliate Marketing on WordPress
Posted by: | CommentsWordPress is one of the greatest free blog sites ever. It doesn’t rank quite as well as Blogger, according to Alexa, but it has certain other advantages over Blogger. This is especially true when it comes to affiliate marketing.
Use the Software. Ditch the Domain Hosting.
You can start off one of two ways with affiliate marketing on WordPress. You can either get a VIP membership, pay some extra money, and have certain restrictions on your marketing, or you can download the software and use it with your own domain hosting. Truth be told, the latter is the better option.
