I can't believe another 7 days have passed.
I suppose that's one of the great things about being overworked and underpaid!
Well that's how it's feeling at the moment another week, another batch of new programmes joined, more income, but at the same time more expenditure, as I keep upgrading to get the most from my different traffic generation techniques.
I'm still trying to surf an hour a day but I have over 150 sites in my rotator so on top of that free traffic I'm buying traffic and using pro safelists and FFA pages.
I have been quite selective in my choices, testing the free versions out first to judge response before choosing the ones to go Pro on.
The two I chose were Business World for the safelist and FFA Net for the Pro FFA page.
Thats probably why I feel a bit drained, it was all a lot of work as I also added a couple of interesting programmes both quite simple, and both already in Profit!
The first one was a bit of a challenge getting signed up, but I suspect that this is deliberate to check that a) only determined people join up and b) that uplines have to support and communicate with the downlines! An interesting concept and I can't complain, as I set it all up on Wednesday and I am already in profit, now we'll see if I really do become a Millionaire as promised!
The other one is simpler, but also intriguing in that they promise that once you have generated 30 visitors to the temporary url they give you, then they gaurantee to promote your permanent url till you have 30 x $10 sales, and then do the same for each of them, with you being in their upline getting $10 off each. This theoretically gives you a total of $9300, which seems a bit ambitious, although as they say on the site if what you're doing now won't let you risk $25, then you need to do something else!
I think that last comment was the one that sold me and surprisingly I am ahead already in 5 days (only$5) which is positive. This also just promises Dollars not millions.
I'm quite impressed with how my site is looking now at Freetrafficforu even if I do say so myself! I'll have no choice this week but to leave things as they are and just promote rather than add any more pages.
I'm in Sheffield on Monday, London Tuesday then going to the Leeds away game at Southend Tuesday Night, which hopefully will mark a turnaround (Managed to snatch a draw from the jaws of a win on saturday against lowly Luton) in their form!
Wednesday and Thursday I'm back in Sheffield then it's off to Aberdeen on Friday for a friends 50th Birthday on Saturday. I think all that should be a good test for the automated side of my promotions as I'm not going get chance to do much manual promotion amongst all that driving!
I'm going to have an early night for a change.
Till next Time

Sunday 20th Jan 2008 Sales!!!
Hi
As implied by the title its been a really good week with a few of my ebook downloads selling from the store on my site the most popular having been Easy Automated Income which was one of those impulse buys that you instantly regret doing as you're sure despite the blurb that it won't work for you! Well I suppose there's always the exception that prooves the rule and this is fairly steaming out helped in part by my discovery of classified Advertising on Ebay which seems to be a bit of a closely guarded secret and is only available as far as I can see on ebay.com not uk. Brilliant value at under $10 a month and none of the normal rules applying as regards outside links! You just need to go to Ebay.com (open an account if you don't have one) and enter websites then under the drop down categories click on classifieds and follow the instructions to list your advert.
I have bought the Master Re- Sell rights to a brilliant ebook about making money from your Blog which goes into great detail about how to make the most of Google Adsense and similar pay per click adverts on your Blog to earn you some money there is a really good set of free articles on my website Freetrafficforu/Blogging Articles and the ebook itself is available here.
All in all its been an excellent week as apart from the above I had 19 new sign ups for my freetrafficlessons and had sign ups at most of my various programmes including 1 at my Allposters.com site which just really operates as added content on my Freetrafficforu site and also on my Racing site .
Unfortunately this stellar performance has not been matched by the once mighty whites who contrived a 1-0 home loss against Doncaster Rovers who were in Non League Football 2 years ago and we had not even played since 1956! Having said that we deserved absolutely nothing out of the game and in fact it would have been a travesty if we had managed our usual trick of an injury time goal to equalise.
I am actually beginning to wonder if we are going to make the automatic promotion places as the form has taken a serious nose dive now for about 7 weeks and there really isn't any sign of an improvement. I think young Dennis is going to have to give them all a transfusion of his spirit as they just don't seem interested in playing sometimes they can't even string 2 passes together.
I found a great article on website submissions to the search engines which I am going to re print here as others could find it very useful:-
To rank high on Google, your website has to be measured by
“500 million variables and 2 billion terms” of Google’s equation,
as stated on Google’s Corporate Information Technology Overview page. Google’s ranking system is based on a democracy, and the citizens
are the links on the worldwide web that vote for each other.
Not unlike our government today, many of these “links” are paid
for, and some are of greater value. Ranking high on Google is
playing politics. Links and Keywords are the key players in
the ranking game.
Google also takes into consideration the full content of the
page including HTML codes, fonts, subdivisions and the
“precise location of each word.”
Links are votes .
You must develop a link strategy.
Google likes linking things together.
Create a rich network of links with distinct quality content.
Your website must have quality links going out and coming in.
Quality is the key word. Links from reputable pages
(which ironically includes .gov pages) are given more weight
than links on “link farm” pages. Linking to a “link farm”
is one of the worst things you can do and can potentially
get you deported off the web. The better the links, the
better your ranking. Google will factor in your page content
and the content of the pages you link to. Do your research.
Google has a free page rank tool on their toolbar.
Use it to find out the page ranking and visit the site.
Google also gives more weight to one-way links that lead
to your site, and less weight to reciprocal links.
How do you get these?
Buy them. List yourself in a reputable directory listing.
Make sure you are listed in the Open Directory Project
(DMOZ.org). If you can’t buy links, write good content.
Give someone a reason to link to your site. Again, the
keyword is Quality.
Submitting articles and press releases are also strategies
in the linking game.
Keywords are your platform. They are what you stand for.
Words count. Graphics don’t.
Make sure your words are not in graphic form and make sure
you have relevant titles under your graphics.
Start with your title tag. Put everything you stand for in
ten words or less. Make your URLs short and keyword specific.
Brand yourself. If you type in soda, Mountain Dew will not
show up on the first page. If you type in Mountain Dew,
it will be on the first page. Brand yourself so users know
what they are searching for.
Do not put the same words in every heading and every tag.
Be descriptive. Sell yourself. There are multitudes of free
keyword rank and suggestion tools. Use them as a supplement
to your knowledge of your company.
Think of every element in your website as words and pages in
a presentation that is going to be up for a vote.
Does everything fit?
Is it all related?
Are you a reputable company with a quality product?
Does it sell?
Now sell it.
Google is waiting for you .
Personally I found that this was all far too time consuming
and so I used the excellent service available at SpinSuccess
and have engaged them for really not much cost at all to submit my main Freetrafficforu site by hand to all the search engines.
I nearly forgot another great little trick that I discovered ( I say discovered there's probably people out there who've been doing this for years) which is rather than just deleting all the emails I get exhorting me to buy viagra or the latest money making scheme, I would farm the emails and website details and build a kind of reverse marketing mailing list. Obviously all these people are in a similar position to me trying to make a living on line and if I write back saying I have seen their site and I think I can help them I should do ok as my core business is teaching people how to generate free and low cost traffic and as these people tried to sell to me first I am perfectly entitled to reply. This is a lot easier to do since I upgraded to Group Mail 5 for my bulk mailings as I can build the list daily as I go along then email say once a week.
All the Best

Another Busy Week Sunday 13th Jan 2008
Another busy seven days, especially since last week I thought I was just about there, in terms of having everything fine tuned, but as ever, I came across interesting things online during my daily click sessions (as you do) and then had to sign up and add them to my sites where applicable. I think the best programme was from Vortex Marketing where I received an email and moved forward through the sign up process all the time expecting to get hit for some cash, but discovered it was, as it said a totally free position in an international downline building programme. I was quite relieved feeling like I'd emerged unscathed from an ill advised midnight stroll through a perticularly dodgy neighbourhood and so I sent out some emails on Thursday night, and had 18 people signed up under me by friday morning which was a nice result!
Thursday was quite good on the site finding front (in the real world as opposed to the virtual one) as I found 2 very promising locations in Sheffield and had a good chat with the owners and also another 5 that I need to do a bit of research on so I am off to a good start to the year.
I also found a great affiliate programme to add content to my Freetrafficforu site and my racing information site in the form of posters from All Posters.com. I now have a football poster rotating banner on each page of my Racing site which obviously took a bit of time but the results are great!
I also found and joined a few more traffic exchanges but I haven't added them into the course yet as I want to test them out and see how they do before I go telling people to sign up to them.
I have also bought some ebook writing software with full resale rights and I'm selling it at Just $9.97 with full re sale rights. I'm pretty pleased with this as I have already sold 2 copies and I am starting to turn my lessons and experiences into an ebook. I think this blog should prove to be very helpful in that respect although I'll no doubt end up with one of those annoying "I wouldn't start from Here if I were you" Books. I seem to be continually learning and adjusting, and tweaking my site as a consequence and can't decide wether this is because I am getting things wrong or that its the fluid nature of the internet and I'm just being responsive.
I have decided to re launch my horse tipping service at ggking.com by bundling both my Daily Nap and Market Forces services together for £30 per month which considering their combined profits over the last couple of years are just under 1000 points should pull in the customers. The only drawback with the Racing Site is that I have to be careful what links I put up as gambling sites seem to be frowned upon in some areas.
I am also promoting a very good internet marketing book from the people at Pageswirl called Traffic Mastery
which reveals some really good free traffic generation techniques.
Leeds United have made some great signings so far in the January window and I'm feeling positive about the rest of the season now, they are away at Crewe tommorrow and its on the TV again which is good as away tickets are like gold dust.
I will have to take it a bit easier on the internet front this week as I am very busy site finding so I am not going to have much time which might well be a blessing in disguise as it will stop me signing up for any new programmes!
I still think that the best value programme of all the ones I have has to be the profitmart one
as it coordinates so many brilliant features like Google Adsense, Ebay,Amazon and Clickbank and it is so cheap to get going with. I also think its a perfect programme for most people as the y are looking for the pot of gold with little or no work and this is probably the nearest they'll get to that. I have realised that even just setting up my free marketing strategy at Freetrafficforu.com
is too much work for a lot of subscribers even though once its done you just need to do half an hour to an hour per day and you have tons of free traffic to your sites and consequently sales and cash!
Anyway you can only help those who want to help themselves and on that note I'll sign off for the week and wish you all the very best of fortunes in the coming days.

Monday 7th January 2008
Well a very poor New Years Day with Oldham totally outplaying a lacklustre leeds team that had obviously been over indulging during the holidays!
Oldham were taking the mick and Leeds were letting them. They'll have to have a serious look at themselves after this.
Saturday saw a different team out there and resulted in a well deserved win against Northampton.
Now to my recent experiences in cyberspace.
I have been really putting in the hours and I am pretty pleased with how my site is now structured and how it interlinks with my other sites. I now have my own Amazon Book Store linking in to each of my sites and a comprehensive Clickbank directory that serves up relevant niche products for each of my sites from another turnkey site which is only $19 per month including set up domain name and hosting which seems a pretty good deal!
I re wrote my home page yesterday and also added google search boxes to all my pages.
The list building is going well with 17 new subscribers this week, so I should see some more sign ups in my traffic exchanges pretty soon and ultimately more traffic to my site.
I have also added another viral traffic building program that adds another 7 traffic exchanges taking us up to 31 in total but I have set it to go out quite a way down the line as I don't want to overwhelm my subscribers with too much to do.
I am also hoping that now that now that I'm a Google Adsense publisher that will give me a good income stream from all my sites.
I hope that everything is going to work fairly automatically now as I'm going to have much less time due to having to get back out there during the day and find a few sites for advertising hoardings in the real world to get the mortgage paid!
See you soon
David
