Exploring Ways To Make Money Online
Site Traffic
Profitable Blogging
Jun 17th
I found this great post over at problogger. Darren explains how he has started and nurtured a new blogging site. Definitely some good ideas. He’s also had some excellent traffic for the first few months. His explanation?
Most traffic has come from a number of links it’s had on sites like Lifehacker, Engadget and Gizmodo as well as the flow on effects of being picked up on social bookmarking sites.
He’s leveraging the high traffic sites to his advantage.
On a side note: It’s been an interesting few weeks for me. I haven’t been posting much due to a much needed vacation from work and spending some time with my new fiancee. Things have settled down and I’m again in the hunt to make a profit on the internet.
Web Traffic
Dec 1st
I’ve been reading again recently about other ebiz experiences. Regarding traffic, one ebiz “master” said the following are the best methods to build traffic:
- Get a recommendation (from someone with a list)
- Write ezine articles (remember to put your signature line in there)
- Write an ebook you give away (remember again to have links back to your site)
Seems reasonable. Number 2 seems the easiest to do. When I finish the affiliate computer site, I’ll write some ezine articles and test the waters.
MSN beats Yahoo and Google

Amazing to me, but MSN is the first to list me when I do a search for “nextebizguy”. Congrats to Bill Gates’ Glorious Empire!
MSN: 2 Days (11/30/05)
Yahoo: Not Listed
Google: Not Listed
Another interesting note is that there has been ZERO traffic from blogger browsers. Except for myself and another ebiz buddy, no visits in over two days. The main lesson here is that blogger alone isn’t going to get you traffic.
