Well, Alex Jeffreys has done it yet again. This morning’s (Perth, Western Australia time) webinar entitled “Traffic Tornados” uncovered many gems on how all the Alex Jeffreys‘ students can generate traffic.

Here are some of the salient points of the seminar. (Note: I cannot possibly put everything here. Where you see GS, well, that is my little side comment)

GENERAL OPENING STATEMENTS:

  • Build your business around FUN. (GS: OK, I can almost guarantee that most people will MISS this MASSIVE point),
  • Take ACTION. Keep failing until you win (GS: Ditto above comment),
  • Do NOT pimp yourself (GS: ie don’t bust into other people’s blogs and forums and start blabbing on about what you are selling - show some DECORUM),
  • People ONLY want to visit your blog if you leave value in your comments (GS: this is on your own blog and also when you comment on other people’s blogs),
  • Don’t get it RIGHT just get it GOING.

TRAFFIC GENERATION MATERIAL:

  • Twitter is all about relationship building - NOT “pimping.” (GS: Pimps and spammers get dumped, so why even do it? It’s just DUMB!),
  • Traffic techniques are SIMPLE but not necessarily EASY,
  • A BLOG “pre-conditions” people to trust you. (GS: Show yourself as a real person - look at all my pix etc running down my RHS column),
  • Visit Andrew Fox on www.followthefoxy.com for some great tips and ideas.
  • If you TELL somebody something they DON’T CARE but if you DON’T TELL people then they become intrigued.

EXAMPLES OF SITES FOR TRAFFIC INVESTIGATION:

  • www.blogcast.com
  • Google’s facilities such as allinanchor:(insert name or website), allintitle(insert name or website) - find out what the competition is doing and who is linking in - this is for competitive intelligence analysis,
  • Yahoo’s facility such as linkdomain:(insert name or website) - again for competitive intelligence analysis,
  • www.alexa.com - use to search for traffic rankings and linkbacks to sites (GS: I have been using this site for years and it is a GREAT resource)
  • www.prweb.com - use for press releases (this site “blasts” to 100’s of sites)
  • SO OBVIOUS but… WATCH the 21 videos of “List Building with Alex.”
  • www.ebay.com - this is the 19th most popular website on the net with a HUGE traffic throughput
  • www.youtube.com - 52% of all traffic online is now video traffic. Video listings on YouTube can show up in minutes on Google. (refer to blog thread on the Internet’s “Video Marketing Queen” Maria Andros)
  • www.trafficgeyser.com - investigate this site for video marketing

GENERAL ADVICE:

You need to learn to GIVE before you can RECEIVE. How many people are trying to TAKE your money? Most people are doing it all WRONG. Make a difference! Be different. Stand out by GIVING. Drive traffic and build your own BRAND. Sociall media is the NEW way to bond. A good relationship with people will eventually lead to sales.

Well, there was WAY too much in this Module to do it justice but those comments above were some of the main points I made from my 8 pages of notes in this two and a half hour webinar.

Oh, I’ll leave you with this thought:

“People like to BUY but they don’t want to be SOLD to.”

Best Wishes

Gary Simpson

NOTE: This thread has been thrown up in a hurry. I know it’s rough. I’ll come back and edit and format it later. Just wanted to get this up for you quick.
