A Way To Get More Website Traffic

I mentioned in a couple of post this past week that I thought of getting more contextual links pointing to my blogs and hence, raising the search engine results of my particular keywords. I wrote that I had a three-pronged attack to raise the page rank of my blogs, get more website traffic, raise my Technorati ranking and lower my Alexa ranking. A friend said that I am too ambitious. Am I?

But I think that I could garner more website traffic if I could optimize my site so that it is more search engine friendly and appear higher in the search engine results.

I know that I can’t possibly do this by myself and would rather let the professionals take care of my “dirty work”. According to Think Big Sites only approximately 2 – 5 % of all websites are properly optimized. I am surprised considering the amount of websites that are launched every single day! This got me thinking that if I do have my site optimized, I would literally beat the competition!

So I am all the more determined to get some funds together and engage the help of a search engine optimization company to get my sites tweaked as perfectly as possible.

Expand Your Social Circle With Friendstation

What is so good about being single, I was asked last week. Don’t you want happiness? The good thing is that when I go to a social dating portal, I can flirt with just about anyone without answering to my other half. With such freedom, what else can I ask for?

One of my latest discoveries is Friendstation. This is a fairly new site, still in Beta but it already has more than fifty thousand registered members. While I have been to sites that are strictly for people seeking romance, and there are some sites that cater to bloggers only, Friendstation has incorporated these two very popular elements and added live chat as well. Did I mention that these are all for free?

I understand that Friendstation is the only online social site that provides live phone chat for members to voice chat with each other but this is only available to US residents. Oh well! But I am happy enough that this site is open to anyone from anywhere!

It is amusing to see the following words:

FREE to Join, FREE to Flirt, FREE to Blog

I think we should be more subtle about THAT! Haha!

In short, Friendstation spells fun and a great way to expand our social circle. If you are single like me there is no better time than now to join Friendstation. Who says being single means being lonely?

Payday Loans Resource Site

Most people I know are not really web savvy. They like to ask for information instead of firing up a search engine and look for it. I, on the other hand, would rather look for information and if still doubtful, ask. Last week, I wrote a post on payday loans. Now, I am not asking people to get payday loans but I had been in the position where getting a payday loan would have helped me out of a sticky financial situation, not of my own doing, mind you!

Anyway, I was asked where can I apply for a payday loan. All the information you would want to know about payday loans or cash advances are available o CashAdvance1500.com. This is an informative and resourceful site where you can start your research from.

Bear in mind and ask yourself, “Do I really need this loan?” Sure, fast cash can be excellent but realize that this is a very temporary solution and you MUST settle it when your paycheck comes around. As always, I can’t caution enough, check the terms carefully!

The Trusted Source

You know, as a consumer, it could be very confusing with all the products in the market that purportedly are better than others. I know *I* get confused. This is especially so when I bother my friends with questions like ‘Which is better?” and they all have their own favorite brands confusing me even more!

I came to know of a website called Trust Source about a month ago. This is the place where people provide feedback and reviews on consumer products. I saw a comparison chart on provillus, a hair loss product, and I think that with consumer feedback and rating like this, we can decide better one which brand is good, which works and which doesn’t. This will of course help us to be better consumers and more discerning shoppers saving us time and money.

One thing I know is that I no longer have to bother my friends with my incessant questioning and get them irritated haahaa! I’m just going to get an impartial opinion from Trust Source.

Bet Online Securely

I just came away from a blog last evening and saw a post that the blogger will never blog about betting and gambling and will not place any gambling links on her blog. I can understand her sentiments because not every one can handle gambling. It takes a lot of discipline. Gambling or betting is not wrong as long as it is not excessive and does not take over our life. And I believe that gambling is a game of skill and a little luck.

If you prefer online betting, and if you do not already know yet, there is this site called Bet365 that is a secure betting portal with a one-wallet system that allows members to bet any and all games from one account only. With its Sportsbook betting facility, you can just about bet on any casino games. From what I see, Bet365 has a full range of casino games, dedicated online poker playing section, and most of all live broadcasts

If you are into football betting or horse racing, no problem either. Bet365 is so much more than casino games. It’s a full-fledged online betting portal that supports casino games AND sports AND card games too.

Leadpile – LeadGen Marketplace

Since I spend virtually the whole day at the computer online and surfing the internet, I do know of many sites that are making waves. One such site that is growing by leaps and bounds is called Leadpile, The Lead Marketplace/Exchange. Yes, for once, I am not going to write about a social network, dating or friendship site. Leadpile is a serious lead generation business marketplace where buyers and sellers of leads meet and transact without the interference of third parties.

As you may know, business nowadays is all about lead generation. However, lead generation is one thing while generation of effective leads that converts is another. At Leadpile, you can be sure to receive multiple verticals lead solutions.

I am very impressed with the fact that Leadpile has managed to grow so fast within a short span of time without any funding from venture capitalists. This is not to say that companies which did receive such funding is not good, but Leadpile is just different.

Check out Leadpile if you have a need for leads!

Second Thoughts

You may know that I have been contemplating a link baiting-cum-competition blitz through a local advertorial network. Well, while I am still waiting for his reply, I am already having second thoughts. It is not that I am stingy and do not want to pay that obscene amount of money for this blitz but last night, I received a very disturbing email from David saying that he (his blog) has been penalised for the sudden surge in back links to his site with a specific keyword after his very successful contest concluded.

See, my Page Ranks are only 3 and 2. I would so love to bring them up but if this is the price I have to pay, I would rather maintain my Ranks, low as they are. I don’t know. Suddenly a blitz does not look so good anymore.

If this is the case, then I would not e running a contest. Why would something fun be turned into a sour episode? I am not going to hand out prizes AND suffer the consequences. That would be so unfair. That would be like a double whammy!
