Google Alerts Plus Blogging Equals Traffic

Now if you’ve ever wanted to see what people were saying about you online as well as see who is linking to you all you have to do is subscribe to Google Alerts. You can subscribe at http://www.google.com/alerts . Basically, what you can do is whatever niche you are in you can type in the word that you’re monitoring online to see what is new. In my case I may use the word “internet marketing”. And if you are established in the industry of online marketing all you have to do is place your name in the box to allow Google Alerts to update you whenever your name is mentioned online. This is what I do.

In order to find out who is talking about me on their websites and blogs I have set up Google Alerts to alert me whenever my name is posted. I simply type in my name in the “search terms” box and then enter my email address. After I do this, Google Alerts will notify me through email anytime my name is mentioned online.

I mean, I could see everything that’s happening and that gets picked by the search engines when it comes in. So this alert comes in and I see it. I can see whenever somebody is blog posting about me. Actually, after we did the event in Singapore, everybody was blogging about it. It was so amazing. I saw so many mentions of my name on Singaporean blogs! But it’s not only flattery that boosts your ego when you see how many people are blogging about you, but it can also boost your traffic. How you ask? Well, what I do is I go to these blogs where someone has posted something about me and I go to comment on a post. The funny thing is is that a lot of times people are surprised because they never expected me to post to their blog.

There are two reasons I do this... Basically, one reason is to acknowledge that I noticed it and to let them know that, hey, I see everything that you’re doing. But I also do this in order to get a link on their blog to point it back to my page. This is an excellent traffic booster!

And so I was doing that, I started noticing that this really works very well in getting traffic coming from other people’s blogs to my pages, particularly my squeeze pages.

So, if you want to get more traffic but also want to be ahead of the game and know everything that’s going on in your niche, use Google Alerts to keep you up-to-date and to help you grow your business.

"Automate your article submission process with this tool"

What are article directories? Article directories are websites where people can submit their articles into an article database. Search engines love article directories because new content is posted at these websites every day. Anybody can take articles from these article directories and put them on their websites. They have to make sure to include the bio with the article.


Tip: You should submit your articles to these article directories on a consistent basis.


There are thousands of article directory websites, but they are not all of the same quality. You would benefit more from submitting your articles to some directories over others. You want to submit to an article directory that has a high Google page rank.


Here are 9 excellent article directories you should submit your articles to:


1: http://www.ezinearticles.com

2: http://www.articledashboard.com

3: http://www.articlefever.com

4: http://www.buzzle.com

5: http://www.article99.com

6: http://www.articlefeeder.com

7: http://www.goarticles.com

8: http://www.ideamarketers.com

9: http://www.searchwarp.com

There is another way to get your articles submitted to thousands of these article directories with the click of a button. You can go to http://www.isnare.com and go to the "distribution" feature. Also try http://www.submityourarticle.com . They will automatically submit articles for you for a fee. This fee is worth it.


All the article directories will get you traffic, but the higher Google page rank directories normally get you the most traffic.


You can also use a great software program called Article Announcer. It is at http://www.articleannouncer.com .


Tip: You can also set up Google alerts. It is a software tool that is built inside Google. It will send you an alert for topics and words that you specify. For example, you can type in the headline of your article into Google Alerts. Any time your headline is found in Google then it will alert you that your article is picked up by a certain website. It will show you who posted your article and when they posted it.


Google Alerts are free to do. You can keep track of which websites and Blogs are picking up your articles. You want to do this to make sure that these people include your bio. You can contact the people that posted your article and offer to send them articles directly.
