Critical Steps to Online Success-Use RSS Feeds and Press Releases to expand your web presence.

If there's one thing that will kick start your site SEO
rankings it's adding an RSS feed on one of your website
pages.

Write a bunch of articles and publish them at "Ezine
Articles". Then just go to "Ezine Articles", grab their RSS
script and add it to one of your web pages - call the web
page "Free Articles" or something similar.

Like magic all of your articles will appear on your page.

Once you do that the spiders will pick up the link and add
more entries for your site.

And here's another trick I discovered by accident…because
the link showed up when I googled my site URL to check my
presence:

Put links to powerful Affiliate products on one of your
web pages-I call mine Affiliate Products. The search
engines will pick it up because of the SEO rating of the
big time affiliate site and index your site.

The outcome for you?...you've added another link!

Another good link generating strategy is to write a press
release whenever you do something of note like publish
another eBook or launch a new site or anything else of
interest.

A good press release that makes it to publication is a
great tool for website promotion.
Take the effort to learn how to do it properly-you'll be
well rewarded.

Here are the basic guidelines:

* Have a story to tell: Did you just release a new eBook
etc.

* Think like a Freelance Correspondent: Why would an
editor publish your story? Your headline is the main
benefit statement. In the body answer: what happened, who
was there, where, when and why?

* Format the press release properly: there's plenty of
articles on how to do this-just search on Google.

* Keep it brief! Check out some other press releases to
get an idea of length.

* Promote your press release online: Use a free online
press release service.

A good one is PrWeb.com.

Here's what their website says:

"PRWeb is the recognized leader in online news and press
release distribution service for small and medium-sized
businesses and corporate communications. PRWeb pioneered
Free Press Release Distribution and continues to set the
standard for online news distribution."

That's a few ideas to get you started…

Keep on winning

Critical Steps to Online Success-Even More Ways to Get Blog Traffic

You've got your Blog up and running, you've been making
posts regularly…but your "Hit Counter" says you're not
getting much traffic!

What else can you do to increase the number of visitors to
your Blog.

Here are some ideas:

Start your own "Wikizine".

How?

Add Your Blog to Zimbio!

What is Zimbio all about? you might ask:

Zimbio offers thousands of "wikizines" about a wide range
of topics, covering both popular culture and special
interests.

"Wikizines" are interactive magazines that anyone can
create or edit. They're a mix of technology, mainstream
media, and participatory journalism - so people can either
check out the best stuff that other folks posted about a
topic, or they can add articles, pictures, or videos
themselves.

Zimbio helps you Syndicate Your Blog…reach a wider
audience and promote your website. It's a community site
where you can research and learn about whatever interests
you.

How will Zimbio help your Blog?

You'll be able to create your own "wikizines" and post your
blog articles to it. More exposure equals more traffic.

How do you get started?

Go to "Zimbio.com" and register. You'll be forwarded to a
webpage that says:

"Welcome to Zimbio! Enter your blog URL and we'll do the
rest."

Once you add your blog URL to your profile and select
"Promote My Blog" then Zimbio will automatically post your
articles to related wikizines.

And now the fun part begins because you get to create (if
you choose) your own very professional new wikizine site
devoted to the topics you have chosen.

My "wikizine" is called "Critical Steps to Online Success"
and I cover Internet Marketing, Network Marketing and
Affiliate Marketing.

Once you have your Wikizine up and running you just go to
your "dashboard" and start adding articles from your blog.
Time to get started?…what will your wikizine deal with?...
