Angela: Thanks for the kind words! Yes I’m glad to have connected with Gary and many other students. We help each other that’s how it works.
I preferred the Carrington style for sure. Any how it’s important that you concentrate on only one blog. Having to blogs about the same topic can be very confusing for everybody :) Good luck with all the snow and Happy New Year to you too!

Paul: Thanks for a great comment Paul. I’ve just posted my own Getting traffic post now. And as you can see I have a different approacher on the Twitter thing. But I will take a look at your Twitter software. I think it can make me more productive.

I was way to late on installing my Analytic on this blog. I have it on many other sites but for some reason I didn’t get it in here in time. So it has only collected a couple of 100 visits. But so far for this month I got over 6000 hits from my various traffic methods. Not all of them very targeted and my list haven’t gotten any bigger so it doesn’t count in my opinion.

Good luck in the competition Paul, may the best win :)
And I’m looking forward to your new videos.

JerryThanks a lot, and welcome back!

I love the format, thats the way to go! Look forward to seeing much more!

Go and read Parkesy’s “About Me” page. I want HIM to win it. If, on the very remote chance that I did win it – which I won’t coz I’m not even competing (I know what the challenge is for and I don’t need that) – I would demand that Alex gave it to Parkesy. That’s how strongly I feel about it.

But thanks for your comment. And what’s this “old” sh*t. I’ll give you a run for your money, young fella – LOL!

I like to come here and see what the Tommy Gun is doing.

Regards to all…

thanks for dropping by, i see your doing very well and you have a nice and pretty
alexa ranking too. Ive got the firefox add on which displays the pr and alexa on my page which is cool, just incase u aint got in but as your a techy u prob have lol so i will wind my neck in!!

would be interested to know where your posting your banners to get traffic?

i wouldnt go as far to say that im a twitter expert, but to be honest i dont really know how much the average person knows about twitter, ive just picked up lots of great tips and tricks to help funnel people to my blog.

As soon as i get passed my 2000 followers cap i will be able to drive an unlimited amount of traffic to my blog then from twitter because we need 2000 followers dont we b4 we can start following more people. Im currently on about 1500 so not far to go

I take it u know about twitter karma?? thats how you can edit your profile so that u can stop following people that are not following you back and then add more people etc

Oh and the ebay thingy, ive tried a little technique out last week and its working well im just in the middle of tweaking my ads for maximum opt ins playing around with text and all that but i will be making a video on this soon

I know what you mean about some traffic not being targeted and my twitter traffic isnt lazer targeted either however it doesnt matter because im sending them to my blog and not a sales page and the great thing is the more traffic u can get to your blog weather its lazer targeted or not this will increase our exposure and then our traffic will increase even more because google will then see our blog as some authority. That being said to get max opt ins obviously it will help to have more targeted traffic but as my blog is only 10 days old it doesnt make much diff at the moment im just sending as much traffic to it as i can for now.

How is your analytics coming along?? how many unique visitors have u had so far??

That old gary simpson sounds confident that hes in for a chance for the $$$$$$ i guess we will have to wait and see what happens, good work though gary

News Flash:****************************************
If i can reach my 2000 cap very soon i will be able to send a few hundred people a day to my blog and i then might be in for a chance for the $$$$ as i have a few tricks up my sleeve (nothing black hat of course its all fine) but i think unless i have 200 followers by tomoz i dont think i will have much chance

anyway watch this space

its all good fun

this is my last sentance so dont worry lol

speak soon

paul

Hope you have a wonderful New Year!
Angela

Thanks for your reply. I’ve tried again and I still get the same error, so something my computer doesn’t like I think.

Email me if you can help me thanks!

You are right Thomas: buying traffic makes about as much sense as a turkey booking a holiday for January
People need to want to come to your site rather than being brought there.

And yes we should fish from all sides of the boat, including the front and the back.

My experience so far tells me that from my visitors that an average of 2.25% of my visitors opt in.
And out of the opt ins; 1 in 38 buys the one time offer

Looking forward to a great 2009 with Alex and the rest of you gang

Keep well & prosper

Thomas Northrop: Thanks Thomas. I hope this can be my way for sharing what I know. Hope you get that Permalink to work. Shouldn’t be any problems if you do it right. But let me know if it doesn’t work.

PeggyThanks Peggy! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. And I’ll be watching my hands in the next episode :) Just let me know if you have any questions Peggy. i will be more then happy to point you in the right direction!
