Hello, I’ve recently uploaded several free eBooks to the front page of my site SEO Software and Tips. Over the next few weeks I will be doing an eBook review of each one. Note: I also plan to review some of the top SEO software and SEO information products too.
Free eBook: List Building For Beginners – Let’s face it, not all books are perfectly awesome from start to finish but I did glean several tidbits from this read.
* Email marketing is still one of the most effective Internet Marketing methods used today.
* Make sure your opt-in forms are simple and easy to use so your visitors don’t become annoyed during the opt-in process.
* Setup a promotion or freebie or a membership site related to a specific niche.
* If you submit articles to Ezines, not only leave your links but also leave your email address as interested readers may want to contact you. You will now have their name and email address.
* Partner-up (Joint Venture) with folks in the same niche as yourself.
* Make sure your website is useful and very easy to use. Make sure you have well-written articles and descriptions about your site. Try to make your site look very nice but not overly complicated. In order to make sure your site loads fast, keep the graphics simple and optimized.
* Never lose the trust of your customers. A good reputation will bring you more traffic and subscribers as well as strenthen the loyalty of your customers.
* Just launching your own opt-in list, does not make you an expert and a believable seller. Post many articles and build trust first prior to starting your opt-in list.
* Join forums related to your niche, and find out what people specificly need and want related to your niche. Try to provide expert advice and provide a link to your site in the signature. Over time if you’re providing good information and recommendations they will visit your site and opt-in.
* Find a product or service within your niche that people want and need. Research (purchase) and learn everything there is to know about this product or service. Now provide great information to your subscribers and many will want purchase the product or service through your site.
Please stay tuned for Part 2.

I went searching for the answer to this question and the only thing I found was a comment on Matt Cutt’s blog in 2006 by a user stating he read somewhere inside Google sitemaps that the standard only allows 2000 characters. I don’t believe this to be the case now, as most of my files have been found and disallowed by Google and because of my recent site restructure, I currently have 4394 characters in my robots.txt file. Does anyone out there have the exact answer on this? I will try to post the question again to Matt Cutts.

Ok, I know this is posted all over the place on other blogs but it is too good not to post here. Even if it means my blog goes into the supplemental index again. :)
If all seo and website traffic techniques were explained in plain simple English like this. We would all be experts in no time at all. I’m a big believer in the “keep it simple” theory. RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication and is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts.
Please let me know if you enjoyed this as much as I did.

Trackbacks are a great way to generate fresh new content on your own blog while actually making a comment regarding somebody else’s blog post.
Here’s the deal, you have found a great post on somebody else’s blog (preferably a similar topic to your own blog) that you would like to make a comment on. Rather than making the comment directly on their blog site you decide to use the trackback strategy and basically post the comment on your own site linking back to the original bloggers post. Pretty cool right?
Here is the trackback breakdown on video by our traffic guru Jack Humphrey How to do a trackback to get more links and traffic
Thank you Jack!
Dog not included!
