How To Rapidly Grow Your Blog Traffic

written by John Chow on June 24, 2009

In the following video, my friend Yaro Starak talks about what he calls “Impact Marketing Techniques” – the kind of tricks he’s used himself to drive hoards of new traffic to his own 6-figure income blog. What makes this video so special? Well, normally you’d have to pay for it. But just like my last video, Yaro’s video is free as well.

I’m giving you access to a special preview of one of the strategy video presentations I did for the Become A Blogger Premium 2.0 course. Note this video I’m sharing with you today is hosted on Viddler, however the premium videos inside the members area are all hosted on our internal servers.

Funny you should mention it. I’m just about to go to have a lunch. Some tomato beef stew and I have absolutely every intention to enjoy my lunch without any PDFs or other work related things.

Well, Yaro Starak’s tip on creating free reports out of your blog posts is a fantastic idea. You don’t have to start from scratch, do you. You just have to build on what you already have – elaborating more on important points, adding pictures to make the presentation visually arresting, reinforcing your ideas with points you might have left out before. This is a gem of an idea. And if one uses this tip alone it’s really bound to create a buzz for one’s blog.

Very valuable. Vintage Yaro.

I like the vid, still trying to find a stand up table that Yaro had in one of his videos. Personally I went with video marketing and traditional those have helped me. I really don’t know about giving a free report mabye a teaser then selling the full I guess I am just a little greedy. Anyway John I think it is funny I have been following you on twitter since the start of my online endeavors and just realized it. Anyway youtube is excellent for gaining exposure and adding to the visual makeup of your blog. Good post.

I think Yaro offers extremely excellent tips and strategies. One thing I’m wondering is – since barriers to entry on the web is so low and virtually everyone has access to Yaro’s tips, it seems like the strategy ‘to make it’ is probably different than what’s been going around for a while. Point to note – almost everyone’s site has free ebooks for download. It seems like these are just strategies to put yourself at parity with others; to really stand out more has to be done.

Well,
what am about to write is not about this post, though I have downloaded the pdf, and would be reading it.

I wanted to ask something about your ebook.

first of all, I read it in complete, and it was a very good read. One of the best in it was about your life.

But what I really want to ask is, how to start??
It deals with what to do, once you have a good site running for some time.

But how to start..??
As various network especially Google rejects new blogs..??

So what to do..??
Wait for how much time..??

Please help…

We can created more traffic towards our blog through goggle image search option. It is a very simple technique. For example, you own a blog on pets. Now collect at least 30 pictures of pets, rename them in series like this, pets01.jpg, pets02.jpg ….. pets30.jpg upload all these images in single page. Use keyword “pets” in title, link and description tags. You will see these images will start coming when some one search images of pets at Google.
