Create Some Online "Buzz" and Get New Traffic to Your Website

Go to: http://v2.boardtracker.com/ a F.R.E.E website that track 1000's of online forums.

Type in a subject and hit "Search." Boardtracker will give you 100 and 100's of "threads" or forum posts that have discussed the topic you entered. I entered an esoteric topic of "Gurdjieff" which seemed to break the system as nothing was returned! So I then tried "golf." See below.

Golf Results:

Click a link and you will go to a forum. Keep in mind that sometimes the posts will be old or outdated, but most of them will work. If you like the topic or forum, join the community and start posting:

Click "members" or "join" and then sign-up. Create a public profile that has a link bck to one of your websites. But do NOT post links back to your website in a forum post!! The will likely think that you are a spammer and ban you.

Once people get to know you, and you have posted for a while, they will click on your public profile and get to see your website. And once you have been a member of a forum for several months, you can then post an occasional link to another website.

On average, I get 100-200 visitors per month from forum posts. I am considering hiring someone to make post for me, as regular use fo this strategy can pay dividends for months.

And while, we are talking about this subject - When was the last time that you commented on a blog post? Try to do so on a regular basis. You will get links back to your website and visitors as well.

Be social!!

Get Published on Your Favorite Topic at: http://ezinearticles.com/

Search and take a look at some of the article on your favorite topic or niche:

Join, and submit your own articles:

Create an information rich article of 400 words or more. At the end of your article, you will create a short author bio with links back to your websites. If your article gets popular you can get hundred of visitors. If not? You will still get some "google juice" as google will give you credit for having an incoming link to your website.

Generally speaking, the more links, the better search engine rankings that you will get.

Would university students benefit from what you do? Send an email. Here's how.

Here I am trying to find the email of the department secretary for psychology at the University of Utah

Find the "Contact Us" link.

Voila, you have some contacts:

Why do you want this info? The secretary at your local University might be willing to distribute your flyer or workshop brochure to students via email.

You will get a better response if your workshop mets a specific student need and you offer a discount for students. For example, if you are Feldenkrais Practitioner, send an email to the dance department and say,

"Hi My name Is Jane. I am a local Feldenkrais Practitioner who works with dancers near the University. I am teaching a workshop entitled, "Dance Away Your Pain with the Feldenkrais Method" and I would like to offer it half price for Students at the University. Would you conider sending the attached document to your students?"

You only need to build a relationship with one supportive secretary to get an excellent referral source. Don't forget to post some brochures on campus. Engage this strategy several times for each workshop that you teach. Try different approaches, different "pitches" and different departments until you find a receptive audience.

Bye for now. Come say hello on my blog: http://ryannagy.com
