   <p>The burning question for anybody that markets online is &#8220;How Do I get More Traffic?&#8221;</p>
<p>Many folks are migrating away from traffic sources like Google PPC because it has become too costly and honestly a bit aggravating to work with.</p>
<p>Conversely, people are migrating to Facebook.  The stats are staggering:</p>
<div id="jbox" class="greenbox" style="width: 520px; padding: 10px 20px;">
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Facebook Statistics</h3>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">People on Facebook</span></p>
<ul class="redarrow">
<li>More than 800 million active users</li>
<li>More than 50% of our active users log on to Facebook in any given day</li>
<li>Average user has 130 friends</li>
</ul>
<div><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Activity On Facebook</span></div>
<div>
<ul class="redarrow">
<li>More than 900 million objects that people interact with (pages, groups, events and community pages)</li>
<li>Average user is connected to 80 community pages, groups and events</li>
<li>On average, more than 250 million photos are uploaded per day</li>
</ul>
<div><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Global Reach</span></div>
<div>
<ul class="redarrow">
<li>More than 70 languages available on the site</li>
<li>Approximately 80% of users are outside of the United States</li>
<li>Over 300,000 users helped translate the site through the translations application</li>
</ul>
<p>Source:  <a title="Facebook Statistics" href="http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics&amp;referer=');">Facebook Statistics</a></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>If you&#8217;re a<strong> WordPress user I have a plugin that exploits these amazing traffic gains</strong> you can get from Facebook.</p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffff99;">If you&#8217;re goal is to get Traffic from Facebook then I urge you to read on.</span></p>
<p>This easy to install and implement WordPress Plugin comes with these features:</p>
<ul class="bluearrow">
<li>Customize Pop-Up Title &amp; Message</li>
<li>Multi-Language: English, French, German, Italian &amp; Spanish</li>
<li><strong>Customize Overlay &amp; Background Colours To Match Your Blog Theme</strong></li>
<li>Delay Pop-Up Appearance</li>
<li><strong>Use Timer To Auto-Close Pop-Up</strong></li>
<li>Set Cookie To Hide From Repeat Visitors</li>
<li><strong>Change Button Style: </strong>(Even display faces of people who have liked)</li>
<li>Change Action Type: Use Either Like or Recommend Buttons</li>
<li><strong>Change Font And Color Scheme</strong></li>
<li>Change The Liked Link To A Fan Page (or any other site/page you want)</li>
</ul>
<div>Here&#8217;s a quick look at it when you first arrive onto a page that has it activated:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a title="Traffic From Facebook" href="http://www.gregmeares.com/traffic-from-facebook/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1238" title="InAction" src="http://www.gregmeares.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/InAction.gif" alt="Traffic From Facebook" width="650" height="439" /></a></div>

		<description><![CDATA[Finding a domain name is a pretty easy process, however many people get this wrong.

Oh course if you are going to brand yourself, the process is very easy.  The domain will be your name.  However, if you decide to branch out into additional niche areas, then you need to make sure you identify your main keyword and have that in the domain name.  It makes all the difference with SEO and getting traffic to your site.  Watch the video below for more detail...]]></description>

   <p>By Ranking #1 for several of my Keywords I was able to Quadruple my Website Traffic!  <img src='http://www.gregmeares.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>In this article I&#8217;m going to share 3 tips I used to grab the top ranking for my sites.  I&#8217;ll share what I did, what tools I used and I&#8217;ll even show you the websites.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s get started&#8230;</p>
<p>First let me give you a little background about the keywords.</p>
<p>The first one is &#8220;Call Center Best Practices&#8221;, which has over 20 Million competing pages.  I took both the #1 and #2 spot for this keyword.  The #1 ranking is directing searchers to my membership sign-up page!  <img src='http://www.gregmeares.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />   Now that is awesome.  Check for yourself.  The site is <a href="http://www.callcenterbestpractices.com" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.callcenterbestpractices.com?referer=');">Call Center Best Practices</a>.</p>
<div align="center"><img style="max-width: 800px;" src="http://www.gregmeares.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/ccbp-google.png" alt="" /></p>
<div align="left"></div>
<div align="left"></div>
</div>
<p>The second keyword is &#8220;Call Center Training&#8221; and it has over 29 Million competing pages and my site is ranked #1 for my keyword.  This is for a product I sell for over $67 &#8211; nice <a href="http://www.gregmeares.com/ClickbankCode" style=""  rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://www.gregmeares.com/ClickbankCode';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">income</a>!  <img src='http://www.gregmeares.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />   You can see the site by going to <a href="http://www.callcenterleadershiptraining.com" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.callcenterleadershiptraining.com?referer=');">Call Center Training</a>.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<div align="center"><img style="max-width: 800px;" src="http://www.gregmeares.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/cct-google.png" alt="" />&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<p><strong><br />
So you might be wondering how I did it?</strong></p>
<p>Actually it was easier than you might think.  I used 2 tools that turned out to be absolutely awesome.</p>
<p><strong>Two Very Powerful SEO Tools</strong></p>
<p>1.  Ok the first one is a plugin for WordPress.  It is called <a href="http://gregrecommends.linktrackr.com/SEOPressor" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/gregrecommends.linktrackr.com/SEOPressor?referer=');">SEOPressor</a> and it is amazing.  All I did is install it, told it what keyword I wanted to rank high for and the plugin did the rest.  This actually works amazing well.</p>
<p>2.  The second is a tool that I used to help me create link bait.  It helped me get my sites out there and known.  It is expensive but it more than paid for itself almost overnight.  It is called <a href="http://gregrecommends.linktrackr.com/SENuke" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/gregrecommends.linktrackr.com/SENuke?referer=');">SENuke</a>.</p>
<p>3.  Have the keyword in your domain name.</p>
<p>All you really need is to use these two tools and have your keyword in your domain and in a VERY short time, you&#8217;ll be on the top of the search engines.</p>
<p>Technorati Tags: <a class="performancingtags" href="http://technorati.com/tag/website%20traffic" rel="tag" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/technorati.com/tag/website_20traffic?referer=');">website traffic</a>, <a class="performancingtags" href="http://technorati.com/tag/seppressor" rel="tag" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/technorati.com/tag/seppressor?referer=');">seppressor</a>, <a class="performancingtags" href="http://technorati.com/tag/senuke" rel="tag" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/technorati.com/tag/senuke?referer=');">senuke</a>, <a class="performancingtags" href="http://technorati.com/tag/targeted%20traffic" rel="tag" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/technorati.com/tag/targeted_20traffic?referer=');">targeted traffic</a>, <a class="performancingtags" href="http://technorati.com/tag/seo" rel="tag" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/technorati.com/tag/seo?referer=');">seo</a></p>

<p><strong>Michael Cheney Talks Traffic &#8211; Interview With A Traffic Expert </strong></p>
<p>Michael Cheney, one of the most-respected names in Internet marketing, has been online since 1995 and is the man behind the 6-Figure launches of AdSense Videos and 11 Days To List Profits. He has unveiled a new videos product &#8211; <a href="http://www.gregmeares.com/TrafficVideos.html"><strong>&quot;Michael&#8217;s Traffic Videos&quot;</strong></a> which covers everything to do with traffic and comes with 100,000 instant ad credits and a tailored Fast-Track To Traffic Action Plan. </p>
<p>We managed to grab some time with him recently and quiz him on his favorite topic &#8211; traffic.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll get a lot out of this interview including a killer 40-page E-book on traffic that Michael has written to help you avoid the Top 20 Traffic Disasters!</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s get started.</p>
<p><strong>Q. </strong>Firstly Michael, thank you for joining us today in your busy schedule.</p>
<p><strong>A. </strong>Hey no problem. Good to be here.</p>
<p><strong>Q.</strong> We all know that traffic is important but could you just explain a bit about traffic for the beginners out there?</p>
<p><strong>A.</strong> Sure. Traffic is the lifeblood of any business online. Without it you just die. We all know that. But what a lot of us don&#8217;t realize is that just like everything else on the Internet traffic changes very quickly. That is, the methods of getting traffic are changing all the time and that&#8217;s where people get caught out.</p>
<p><strong>Q.</strong> What do you mean by &quot;caught out&quot;?</p>
<p><strong>A.</strong> Well people fall into the trap of thinking that just because they know one or two traffic generation methods that they are some sort of traffic master. In reality just because you know how to start a pay per click campaign or a little bit about search engines doesn&#8217;t make you anywhere near a traffic expert. I&#8217;m trying to spread the word that there is a massive array of traffic tactics that most people aren&#8217;t even aware of, let alone using or mastering.</p>
<p><strong>Q.</strong> Can you give us some examples?</p>
<p><strong>A.</strong> Sure. Offline for example. You might immediately think that getting traffic is a purely online activity but the truth of the matter is that there are lots of things you can be doing offline to get people into your website. And it&#8217;s usually these sorts of areas that are being under-utilized and therefore there is less competition for that traffic as well.</p>
<p><strong>Q.</strong> So by offline you mean advertising offline?</p>
<p><strong>A.</strong> Not necessarily. That is one method, yes, but I&#8217;m thinking of more creative ways to get people into your website. It all comes down to the fact that having asked people on my list it came as no surprise that most people want to know about free rather than paid traffic sources. I&#8217;ve had to become an expert in free ways of getting traffic in my time online.</p>
<p><strong>Q.</strong> What do you mean &#8211; I thought you were running a successful online business with lots of cash flow?</p>
<p><strong>A.</strong> I am. But it&#8217;s not always been this way. When I first started out in 1995 I had nothing. No money to play with. Just my own initiative and imagination.</p>
<p><strong>Q.</strong> So are you saying you&#8217;re against paying for traffic online?</p>
<p><strong>A.</strong> No. No I&#8217;m not saying that at all. What I&#8217;m saying is that, especially when you first start out, you always want to focus on the free methods. You get the traffic in for free, make some sales and then you can reinvest some of that money into paid methods of getting traffic. This speeds up the process.</p>
<p><strong>Q. </strong>So what particular offline methods are you referring to &#8211; can you give us some examples?</p>
<p><strong>A. </strong>There&#8217;s one tactic I used that costs nothing to implement, is relatively quick and ended up getting me thousands and thousands of targeted visitors into my websites. When I&#8217;ve shared this tactic with other marketers at seminars they&#8217;ve started laughing and slapping their foreheads when they saw how easy it was. They were also embarrassed that they had failed to use this tactic. It was quite amusing.</p>
<p><strong>Q. </strong>So are you going to tell us what this method is?</p>
<p><strong>A.</strong> No! (laughs) It&#8217;s in my course! I truly believe in rewarding those people that are most eager to learn so instead of giving away all my traffic tactics in interviews like this I&#8217;ve put some of them in an E-Book I&#8217;ve written. It is free though if people want to get it.</p>
<p><strong>Q.</strong> So how can people get hold of it?</p>
<p><strong>A.</strong> It&#8217;s called &quot;How To Avoid The Top 20 Traffic Disasters&quot; and you can get it by going to <a href="http://www.gregmeares.com/TrafficVideos.html"><strong>Michael&#8217;s Traffic Videos</strong></a> &#8211; you&#8217;ll see it mentioned on that page.</p>
<p><strong>Q. </strong>What&#8217;s in it?</p>
<p><strong>A. </strong>Well I really wanted to raise the bar on a free E-Book so I spent a lot of time creating it. It&#8217;s 40 pages long and stuffed with juicy content on what NOT to do when it comes to traffic. As far as I&#8217;m concerned too many people out there tell you what you should do but not what you shouldn&#8217;t do. That&#8217;s where this E-Book comes in.</p>
<p><strong>Q. </strong>Okay. I think we&#8217;re about done is there anything else you want to tell everyone?</p>
<p><strong>A.</strong> Just that if they are serious about getting more traffic into their website they need to goto <a href="http://www.gregmeares.com/TrafficVideos.html"><strong>Michael&#8217;s Traffic Videos</strong></a> and get that free E-Book.</p>
<p><strong>Q. </strong>Cool. Well thanks for your time Michael and speak to you soon.</p>
<p><strong>A.</strong> My pleasure. Speak soon.</p>
