I haven’t announced the winner to my competition yet but I will. I’ve been a little out of commission lately but I’m back. Today I’m going to be talking a little bit about organic traffic and how much I love it. But first let me talk about..

Social Traffic:

Social traffic is traffic obtained through means of…being social. Think social networking sites like Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, Digg, and more. Some sites are well suited for social traffic while others aren’t. I’m not a fan for actively pursuing social traffic because most of the time you work hard for menial results. Not all of the time, but a lot of the time.

I’d also like to mention that some sites are better suited for social traffic whilst others are not.

What is Organic Traffic?

Organic traffic is a bloggers best friend. In fact – it’s any webmasters best friend. Organic traffic is pretty much traffic that comes from an unpaid listing (search engines or directories). Most of the time we’re talking about search engine traffic though. Organic traffic is free promotion…free traffic which if used correctly can lead to free money.

Why?

If you’re not taking advantage of organic traffic by now then your website is missing out on a lot of traffic – which could also mean you’re missing out on a lot of money. As I said in my ebook Adsense Pirate organic traffic was bringing in around 95% of traffic to one of my main Adsense money makers. I had not promoted the site for one day. So the next question is…

How?

The best way to get organic traffic is through SEO. Search engine optimization. Those are three very important words for any blogger who wants to go far. SEO isn’t as hard as some people make it out to be. It’s a lot easier to start a blog using good SEO practice than it is to convert a blog. Things such as title tags, keywords, and what not you need to pay a lot of attention to. I’m going to do a post on SEO in the future. If you rank high in Google for the keywords your site is based on – and they aren’t crappy keywords of course – then you’ll see some traffic coming your way.

Anyways – I haven’t updated in a while so I thought I would throw this post in just to get your mind wondering. I was looking for World Cup tickets today..meh no good teams left…I’ll wait till the next phase of ticket sales. Anyways – stick around. Stay thirsty – peace.

I’ve told you all my plans already about writing an E-Book sometime last year. I hadn’t had the chance to settle down and begin writing it until recently. Since it’s my first E-Book I decided not to make too long. I’m looking to write something short, informative, and useful for people who are trying to make a couple extra hundred bucks a month using Google’s Adsense.

So I decided I’m going to go by  My New Years Resolution: The 7-Day Plan. Tell me you’ve tried it before? So far I’m on Day 2 of my 7 days and I’ve written two chapters. The book is coming along well and should be finished within 2-3 weeks. The point is to finish the rough draft within 7 days.

I’m excited about the launch and even if things don’t work out. It’s all about putting yourself out there and giving yourself opportunities. At least I can give it away for free to people as a reference guide to making a couple dollars on the side. Good thing I’m not printing it out because I don’t want it to be used as a substitute for toilet paper

I was reading The University Kids post on how 20% of your time yields 80% of your results. If you think I’m taking more than an hour and a half on a chapter, you’re mistaken. I have a list of goals to complete everyday in order to become a success on the internet and with this blog. I’ll list them out in the future.

7 Days – 7 chapters is the goal. Have you tried the 7 day plan yet?

You’d be surprised what YOU can do in just 7 days.

If you don’t know what Twitter is yet..find out NOW! Twitter is the future. It’s great for networking, promotion, and just getting to know other people. Anyone can use it and people have actually seen great business success using Twitter.

Networking with your customers, talking to them, showing them that you are a normal person. You eat 3 times a day, you aren’t just a being behind a computer, that you like Sunday night football. I wrote this in an article the other day so I’m going to share it with you all – People will actually buy from you just because you’re a nice guy (or girl). But I can only say it so well, check out Chris Brogans take on Cafe Shaped Conversations.

By the way – Follow Me on Twitter. Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays.

With the growth of my new site my adsense earnings have begun to raise. All I can say about how I did this was I had an idea, and I went through with it. Many people were interested in what the site was about and they searched it…and it got hot quickly, ranking well in the search engines. And my earnings went up.

Do I think I shouldve earned more? Definitely and November is looking pretty good.

A problem I’m facing though is I have all my Adsense eggs in one basket. I’m still working towards my thousand dollar goal and I’m slowly approaching it with my other businesses.

Tip of the day: If you’ve got an idea, don’t be afraid to try it out. You never know what the future holds, and it’s always better to have tried and failed then to have never tried at all.

With this site, you could say I tried and I succeeded. Onto the next..
