What is Wasted Time? To Surf or not to Surf? That is the question!

wasted time What is Wasted Time? To Surf or not to Surf? That is the question!I am sorry, I owe everybody a huge apology! Now, at this time I am going to confess! If you are here, or anywhere else surfing, looking at sites that could never interest you with the get rich quick or other scams, you are wasting your time!

If you believe that some magic something will happen, just by investing hour upon hour surfing sites that you have absolutely no interest in, will somehow make you rich, or even an income of a buck or two, you are mistaken!

If you read through this site, you will find many posts that say the same thing, but this one is directed to the newbies! If you are a new “webmaster” and have just published your first website and are looking to get rich from the internet, it won’t happen! If you have a website and just want to get more visitors, this is the place for you!

What makes it worthwhile? Several things can make surfing a good thing for your website, if you have a ‘New’ idea, maybe someone will want to get involved, If you have that “magic” plan, maybe you will get a customer, if you are just here to harvest email addresses for some scam, maybe you will get lucky, I hope not, that is why i write this stuff!

Traffic Exchanges are a wonderful thing, just like email, but there are, and always will be those that use it for the wrong purpose! I like to think that only kids do the dirty stuff, but that is not true, it is the “pro’s’ the ones that know their way around the Internet, like me. I could be one of those snakes, but I wont! That is why I write these things to warn people, even those that are in the middle of being deceived! I hope that by offering the truth, someone will read it and not waste that “buck or two” to find out! I hope that those that have already wasted that “buck or two” and are promoting the junk I am talking about, will also post here and help me!

So, why are we surfing? To get people to look at our websites! Maybe, if you have a legit website, it will help you, and help those looking for what you offer to find you! Other than that, I hope and pray, that those with the bogus stuff, will not find a victim here! If you are new, before you sign up and surf, read and find out what this site can or cannot do for you! I also hope that those that have been,…..confused…..and sign up for that stuff, will tell others about what happened to them!

Hey, I did it, i signed up, paid, worked my butt off, for years! That is why I am running this site! I feel it my duty to help others to avoid the scams! Hey, if you got suckered, don’t be ashamed, it happens to a lot of us, otherwise that crap would go away! That is the problem with the Internet, too many people that just don’t know! Please, if you are a victim, like me, post a comment here and help someone, it really will make you feel better!

Come on, help me help others, BEFORE they get suckered!

The Tortoise and the Hare: What is better, fast traffic or slow traffic?

tortoise hare The Tortoise and the Hare: What is better, fast traffic or slow traffic?The reason we are all here surfing is to increase traffic to our websites, right? There is one thing that many people may not know, but here it is.

Yes, more traffic is a good thing, but which traffic is better, fast or slow? Fast being visitors that stay on your site for only a few seconds, slow being visitors that stay longer. Which one is best?

Well, if you are looking for statistics that show a lot of visitors, then it really doesn’t matter, but, if you want Google and the other search engines to really respect you, you need both!

Quantity is important, but as usual, quality is always better. As an example, if a person visits your site 6 times, but for only 5 seconds each visit, it makes your site look less important than if that same person visited only once, but for 30 seconds or longer.

There are many hundreds of traffic exchanges out there, all with varied timers, some as fast as 3 seconds, some as slow as a minute, and then you have the manual exchanges. If you have ever surfed a manual site, which many are now “Hover” exchanges, which means you don’t have to click, just move your mouse over the image, and it restarts the timer, then you know that many times you forget and end up staying on that site for several minutes!

So, this presents a bit of a problem, we all want a lot of traffic for as little work as possible, and at the same time we want it fast! I know, I am guilty too, and more page views in the statistics looks good, but it is not as effective in the long run. When I set up this site, I had planned on keeping the timer between 10-15 seconds, but after experimenting, I found that when I moved the timer faster, more people showed up to surf, when I set it slower, people stopped surfing, so, what do we do here?

At this time, I have the timer set at 15 seconds, that will give us all better quality but less quantity. I know that will make some people unhappy, but, at this time we have many members, and if we all surf, it will improve the quality of our traffic even more, and I feel that we are ready to make this move to the benefit of us all. Besides, it will give us some incentive to surf even more when I drop the timer down a notch. However, this traffic exchange belongs to all of us that surf, so, if you want the timer to go back to 5 seconds, and you are a regular surfer, send me an email, use the contact form, or whatever, and let me know. If I get enough response, I will change it. At the same time, if you want the timer set slower, tell me that, or, if you like it set at 15 seconds, tell me that as well. Remember, it is up to you to tell me what you want, it is our traffic exchange, and those that surf and make it all work deserve to have a say in how it works! I need your input, I can’t read your minds, so take the time to drop me a quick note, let’s all work together on this!

Traffic Complex is having a SURF PARTY! You are all invited!

traffic Traffic Complex is having a SURF PARTY! You are all invited!What is a SURF PARTY? Well, just like any party, it is a gathering of friends, acquaintances, colleagues, and even strangers, all with one goal, have a good time!

So, if you combine that with a traffic exchange, you get a gathering of people having a good time while exchanging traffic! That is why we are all here, right?

I know that now you are wondering how we can have a “good time” while surfing? With each of us in our own little world, busy multitasking or whatever they call it these days, some of you may be thinking, “we don’t all know each other”, “Oh, help me, I might have to make a friend or something”, or even worse, come on, get over it, LETS PARTY!

Here is what we are going to do, it’s easy. Starting tonight, Thursday, all the way through Monday, the surfbar bonuses are going to be set at changing intervals, with a variety of bonus credit amounts, this will keep you on your toes! However, if you pay attention, you could get a biggie!

Why am I doing this? Well, there are a few of us that already know each other, and we all work hard to surf regularly, and I even heard that some have had personal contests to see who could surf the most! Now that is what I am talking about! Since friends hang out anyway, and I want everyone here to be friends, and to help each other improve the status of their websites. I thought, “why not have a party”?

This is why we have a Discussion Board and Complaint Department, not to mention the Quick Chat section of the site, so, let’s use them! Most, if not all of you, have an Instant Messenger of some sort, so you can contact your friends, and get them to meet here, and if they are not members, they can sign up, and EVERYBODY SURFS!

Since I am almost always on-line, all-night, anyway, regardless of what time you come by, I will probably be here, except for FRIDAY NIGHT from about 4pm until about 10pm CST, that is my weekly party with a buddy, but when I leave there, I will be here, to continue the party will everybody here!

Here is where it gets good, while I am gone, the surfbar bonuses will remain steady, but when I get back, they will start changing! How will you know what is going on? Meet me at the CHAT! I will even have the CHAT page in rotation so that you can see whats going on, so keep your eyes open!

Here is a tip, when you go to the CHAT you don’t have to register, and it will automatically assign you a user number, but, you can change it if you will simply type /nick yourusernameandnumber, into the message box, then hit the send button, it will change it to whatever you put there, so, be creative, but use your member number from the surf, so that I know who you are! Here is an example, 61ButtHead, is who you want to be, so you type /nick 61ButtHead, get it? Oh,user #61 is me, so I am not calling anyone a name!

I hope to see everybody come by this weekend, and if you find no one there, just change your username, and type a simple hello, when I see that you have been there, I will add some credits to your account, just to thank you for participating!

Oh, almost forgot, I have gotten a couple of emails that the surf rotation is stopping on you, let me help you out a bit.

First off, if you have a bad Antivirus/Spyware/Adware program, you may have a bug! I use the FREE program, Spybot Search and Destroy, to check my machine every few days! When you follow this link, you will see a request for donations, just scroll down, but if you can, DONATE! Yes, I have made a donation, probably two or three times, these guys ROCK! This program even has caught things that Norton missed! If you do have something, and the Spybot finds it but can’t get rid of it, their website is full of tips! I’ll put it this way, saved my machine twice! Once, after paying a PRO to fix it but he couldn’t, I found the answer on their site!

If you ever get to looking for a new Antivirus program, this is a great one, a little more expensive maybe, but it is worth it, I got a free year through my ISP, but will soon be paying like 3 bucks a month for it.

If you are an experienced surfer, you may already know this, but maybe this will help. You need to delete your Cache, or Temp files,along with the other junk that builds up from surfing, Cache/Temp, Cookies, History. However, DO NOT DELETE your Form Data or Passwords! You may want to save your cookies too, but I delete all of that other junk every time I re-start my computer, and I do that several times a day as well! (Go to your Internet Options to do this) Why?

Every time you visit a web page, your computer basically takes a picture of it, so that the next time you visit that site again, it will load faster.What happens is, that stuff builds up and makes your computer go slower because it is busy looking to see if it already has a cache/temp file of that site, if it has a cookie from that site, and when was the last time you were there! That is a lot of extra effort, and since auto-surfing is looking at hundreds of pages, over and over, it causes a problem and brakes the rotation by taking too long to reply to the server and drops the connection to your machine! Happens to me with dial up sometimes because the dialup is slow, but I can see that happening.

You may have gotten an email from an admin at another exchange telling you that it is because of sites with zero credits, and they may be right, but I have tested TrafficComplex by creating 3 test users, adding a bunch of sites, you may notice which ones, some with credits, some without, and surfing on my regular account, just to see what happens, watching for bad sites, and so on, I can surf non-stop for hours, either with Satellite or Dial-up, so, I see no problem with zero balance sites. I can tell you this though, we can get all the credits we need here, to keep a healthy amount of credits allocated to our sites, so, zero balance shouldn’t be a problem. I hope this helps! Discuss this here!

It is Friday Night! Ok, so it is really Saturday, I just wanna say Hi!

opinionated bird It is Friday Night! Ok, so it is really Saturday, I just wanna say Hi!Ok, anybody that has read almost anything I have ever written, knows that my day off consists of a period starting about 4pm Friday until about midnight, before and after, I am here, online, doing something. Yes, during this time, I drink beer with a buddy, who makes tie dye T-shirts, and just vent about and try to forget this online world! See the picture? That is me on Friday! I try to bury my head in beer, so to speak, but………….

What usually happens is, I write and share my opinions, and believe me, I have plenty!

This is the time that I take to just kick back and do nothing, but, it almost always leads to an extended tour of duty here, telling everyone, everything I never had time to say before! So, that out of the way, here goes…..

First off, I just set the surfbar bonus to something ridiculous, like 5,000 credits every 20 pages! Who wants to bet that NO ONE but me ever even sees this? Thats ok, those that surf late, may start looking here on Friday nights, just to see if I have set up some crazy bonus! How long will I leave it? Until I wake up! If you are reading this, and you missed out, well, sorry, maybe next Friday?

The time of this post is early Saturday, so you do still have time!

If you think that I am crazy, maybe just an opinionated jerk, check out my other site, OpinionHead.com, there you will see what I really think about things!

Now that you know me a little bit better, post a comment, tell me about you! Tell me about your website, why you use a TrafficExchange, how can I help you promote your site and what TrafficComplex.com can do better! Or, to brag that you clicked that surfbar bonus and how many times!

New Rules: TrafficComplex is having some growing pains!

new rules New Rules: TrafficComplex is having some growing pains!This isn’t a normal Friday post, there is are a few things that I need to address now, before it gets out of hand.

As the site grows, and more new members sign up, as with any traffic exchange, there are those that register just for the bonus credits, but that does not happen here! So, if that is your intention, don’t even bother to register!

It is becoming clear that there are some rules that I need to make clear, so I am doing that now! I am an easy going kind of guy, and a fellow surfer, so I will not impose any restrictions on anyone else that I won’t follow myself, it is quite simple really, follow these rules and you won’t get bothered!

  1. Suspended sites will be deleted! Getting your site suspended is not the end of the world, but all sites that are suspended, from Monday through Friday, will be deleted over the weekend! Many times there are credits allocated to these sites, and if you don’t go to the Allocate Credits section and deduct them yourself, they will be lost! So, if you see that a site has been suspended, do this by Saturday at 01:00 Central time, that is when they will be deleted! Starting tonight!
  2. New Members Must Surf! This is a biggie, when a new member registers, they are required to view at least 100 pages to get their sites activated, but, from now on, there is a time limit! New members must surf those 100 pages within 2 days! That is more than ample time, it only takes less than an hour, so get surfing, those members that haven’t surfed the required amount, within that time limit will be deleted!
  3. All Sites Must Have Credits! This one is the easiest to follow, with the surfbar bonuses, and the way that I hand out credits, no one should ever have a problem keeping plenty of credits allocated to their sites. From now on, sites with zero (0) credits will be suspended! (See Rule #1) Being the nice guy that I am, I may add credits to a members site, if we have had a busy night or something, but sites that have no credits for a day or two, will get suspended. You can avoid this, by simply clicking the black arrow to the right of your site and placing it “On Hold”, I will not delete it.
  4. Sites that are not Allowed: If I approve a site, that later changes, and becomes a problem, or any site that violates the rules, (PTP, PTC, ADULT, NOISE, Etc.) will have a bounty on it! Yes, we need active surfers, and if you don’t feel that your site breaks the rules, submit it, if it is only marginally a violator, I will approve it, but, if it gets reported by 3 members as a problem, it will get suspended, (See Rule #1), no, this doesn’t mean that I want everybody reporting every site they see, just those that are a problem. After a site has been reported by 3 members, I will look at it, if it is a violator, I will issue bonus credits to those that reported it!
  5. Members need to subscribe to the feed! Follow this link, SUBSCRIBE, or the one at the top of any TrafficComplex Blog page, and simply subscribe, you can do this using any reader you want, or select to Get TrafficComplex.com delivered by email, this will keep you up to date and keep me from having to send you an email! Those that don’t, won’t be getting any notifications of the contests etc., so Subscribe Now!

The goal here is to have a clean, safe, and friendly site, where people new to surfing don’t have to worry about problems, I know, many of you have sites in rotation now that are “marginal violators”, if you are an active surfer, and maybe the site is legit, I will leave it up to my fellow surfers to decide. This traffic exchange is for everybody, and can be a great community if we all work together, but, it is not entirely a democracy, I have the final say, but everyones input is very important to me, and shapes my decisions, so if you have any issues with these rules, questions, comments or suggestions, please reply to this post below by leaving a comment. This post is going to be referred to elsewhere to help everyone understand and participate. Thanks for being a Team Player, that is what this site is all about, so, participate!

Why am I surfing? What can a traffic exchange do for me?

signsjpeg4 Why am I surfing? What can a traffic exchange do for me?Why are we surfing? This is a great question, that I am sure everyone has thought about at some time, or at least should think about, because dedicating your time to surfing is a serious commitment.

For many surfers, the reason is simple, to get people to see your site. Ok, this is true, people do see your site, but what if you have a business that has a website, but does not recruit or sell products online? What could this do for you? How can someone, in another country, do your website any good?

To begin with, many people have this “Get Rich Quick” mentality when it comes to the Internet, but, I am sorry, it won’t happen! Yes, they sign up for affiliate sites, all promising riches, pay in the 10 bucks or whatever, work like fiends promoting the site, but nothing happens, why?

If someone walked up and told you, the same line as these sites, or that the SPAMMERS do in an email, with some lawyer in a country not known for being wealthy, needing help to send money? Come on, wire transfers work anywhere that they have banks! If they were really legit, wouldn’t everyone already be rich? Most of this stuff is so obvious, but why do they do it? What does this have to do with surfing?

Ok, I will tie this all together. That group, looking for quick money, are like fisherman, get a line in the water and maybe something or somebody will bite! The possibility of EASY MONEY sounds great, doesn’t it? The truth is, there are a lot of suckers out there that fall for it! Just like a fish biting a fake worm! So, watch out, these sites are the biggest problem on any traffic exchange, but, they don’t realize that they have been duped until it is too late. As hard as they work, they don’t realize that if it is not your domain, registered in your name, selling a legit product and not just a fantasy, then it is somebody else that gets paid, not you!

For those looking to promote any website, traffic is the key that unlocks the potential for your site.

SEO, Search Engine Optimization, is the most important of all, and is actually a simple thing, make sure that your images have titles, and that you have original content on your website, hmm, original, what does that mean? If you have an affiliate site, that looks just like everybody else’s, it is not original content. I don’t mean the template, I mean the text, written by you on your website, that describes what your site is about, that is where the keywords come in. If you have a site that sells dog food, you don’t have a bunch of content about unrelated things, like fishing, unless the dog food is good for feeding fish or something.

Ok, I’ll stop rambling. The way that a traffic exchange helps, other than just showing your site to lots of people, is once you have your site picked up by the search engines, your keywords about dog food and fishing are plentiful, what separates your site from the others about dog food? Traffic! The more visitors to your site, the more important it is! Thus, a higher page rank, which means that someone looking for tips on using dog food to feed fish can find your site easier.

(If you find any site in the rotation that you believe are a scam, report it at the Complaint Department, My policies are clear about these sites, I will let all of you be the judge, if these sites don’t bother you, they don’t bother me, I know who they are, but if they are active surfers, that is all that matters, and if you see a post that I have written, and you don’t agree with it, post a comment and say so. This site is here for surfers and I will do my best to keep out the bad code and such, but complaining about bad sites s up to you!)

Teamwork: What it takes to build a community! TrafficComplex has it!

construction teamwork1 Teamwork: What it takes to build a community! TrafficComplex has it! Hey everybody! As I am writing this, after just checking a few stats, there is one thing I can tell you, this traffic exchange has teamwork! We have many new members, which sent about 40-50,000 bonus credits, to our referring members! Not to mention the per page viewed bonuses, right now set to .2 credits for each page view! Now is the time to join other traffic exchanges, publish your referral page, and recruit some new members!   Why that, do you ask? Simple, the fewer opportunities there are to choose from, the more likely it is that you will be the one to get the referral!

Don’t forget to bring your referral page from that traffic exchange, and add it to your list, maybe you will get a referral there too?

I have my referral page out there! So far it is on about 100 exchanges, although it is still not approved on most of those, and yes, I surf those sites regularly and have for a long time, anyway, the point being, you can get in at the ground level, and later, when it is your team members, that are generating massive credits for you and each other!

On the first level, along with the 5,000 credit bonus, every time someone you refer directly, surfs 5 pages, you get a credit, that is a .2 per page view rate, as a bonus, forever!

When that referral gets a referral, first, you get 500 credits and when that new team member surfs 10 pages, you will get a credit, and when that member, refers someone you will get 250 credits and again, every time they surf 20 pages, you will get a credit, the next one, and from there on, you will get 125 credits up front and for every 20 pages a credit! So, if, during the early days of this site, you get your referral pages out first, you will get lots and lots of free credits! I’ll put the rate list below, if that was as confusing to you as it was to me! I just reread it and got dizzy!

  1. Level one Referral: 5,000 credits and for the pages they view a rate of .2 or 5:1.
  2. Level two Referral: 500 credits and a .1 rate or 10:1.
  3. Level three Referral:250 credits and a .05 rate or 20:1.
  4. Level four through ten Referral: 125 credits and the same .05 rate or 20:1.

The point of this story is that we have some great members, working hard, long and often, thanks!

Don’t forget, send me those screenshots for the last 7 days of pages viewed on monday, and every monday from now on, and the winner will get a bonus! Don’t try and cheat please, I am watching, and will verify, looks like we’ll have a tight race this week, there are a few of you kicking butt! When you send the screen-shot, title the image with your member number and user name, not your email address.

its friday 12 It is Friday, and the surfbar bonuses are Cranked Up at TrafficComplex.com! Now is a great time to sign up!Ok, I told you it was coming, and here it is! Friday night is like my day off, I go to a buddies house, drink a couple of brews and just hang out, talking about his tie dyes, home brewing, and general B.S.

What does that mean to you? It means, if you surf, you will be rewarded! From the time this post goes up, until Monday morning, the surfbar bonus is cranked up to 5,000 credits for viewing 250 pages!

Surfing 250 pages may sound like a lot, but with the timer set to 7 seconds, it happens fast! So, watch it closely and don’t miss it!

Now is also a great time to get your referral pages out there, the bonus for a sign-up from your referral page is 5,000 credits! And, you get 10 credits for each unique visitor, per day, to your page! I know, your sites won’t get activated on the other surf sites tonight, but they will in the future and those bonuses are good for a while yet! I know, there are those that will refer themselves just to get the credits, don’t do it, that is cheating! Cheaters will be caught and you will lose those bonus credits!

All of those that sign up after I leave the house, and surf like fiends, will also get a special bonus! When I get back home tonight, I will be activating sites, as I do everyday, so that you will get plenty of hits to your sites this weekend. Just sign-up, surf and build up your credits, lets see if we can hit the 100,000 mark, we have been on our way to doing about 15,000 sites viewed per day, over 3 days that would be about 45,000, so, 100,000 hits isnt that far off!

There is another bonus offer, but will require some work on your part, other than surfing, you will need to send me a screen-shot of your “Hits earned last 7 days:” in your members area, I know, it’s a pain, but whoever does send this in to me, will get bonus credits, and the one that has the most, will get a 25,000 credit bonus! What does that mean? Even if you miss out on the surfbar bonus, and surf like crazy, you will get rewarded for your efforts! I use ScreenHunter for my screen-shot needs, it is fast easy and you can get the free version to use, just follow the link to get yours!

Ok, now you are wondering where to send the email, well, come Monday, after all the dust has settled, I will send out an email to everyone, just reply to that email and add your screen-shot, simple enough huh? All of the screen-shots will be posted here, so get busy!

I know, the weekend is when people try to drop the bad code and redirects and such, if you sind a site doing this, report it and I will take it from there. You can either hit the link to the abuse report on the surfbar, or go the the Complaint Department and post it there, you’ll see where to go and what to do.

Ok folks, let’s get busy, I will be waiting on those winning screen-shots!

Statistics: TrafficComplex.com, after just 10 days! Yes, we can deliver!

trafficcomplex stats 17 june 08 Statistics: TrafficComplex.com, after just 10 days! Yes, we can deliver!May not look like much, but this is with 28 active sites, and maybe 10 members!

I know, this is a new traffic exchange, and you want to wait until it gets established, don’t wait too long!

For a very limited time yet, we are giving away the surfers dream! I still need a couple of FREE Founding Members, a $99 a year value, once we are established!

So, what is this Founding Member thing? That is 400,000 FREE credits total for a year, that is 100,000 credits that will post automatically to your account every 90 days! That is a 1:1.5 surf ratio, when minimized, and a 1:2 surf ratio when maximized! You can also add up to 10 URLs! Do you think that will help your site?

Yes, there are rules, and Nothing in life is totally FREE, so, here is the fine print, as a Free Founding Member, you must surf, and I mean surf regularly and often! No, you don’t have to surf 24/7, but as often as you can, for as long as you want, and don’t forget the surfbar bonuses!

As a surfer myself, yes, I surf lots of sites, so, based on my experience, I have decided that one thing that bothers me on some sites, is that you don’t know when, or if, the bonus will ever appear! There has been a few times, that I have surfed into the hundreds of page views, watching, waiting, but I never saw a bonus pop up, so, that bothers me, so I won’t ever do that to anyone else!

If you will surf at least 10 pages, you may see one, sometimes it may be 25 pages, it just depends on my mood! I promise, they are there, and if you watch the numbers, page views is what you have to watch, so, when surfing maximized and you are getting that odd number, you may have to do some math, but, it will always be in multiples of 5 pageviews and the longer in between, the bigger the bonus, which will be at least a 1:10 return, so it is worth it to watch for!

I even may post a super sized bonus on there, once we do get busier, that would be like 20, 000 credits for surfing 1000 pages, or even 10,000 credits for surfing 500 pages, hmm, what about 5,000 for viewing 250 pages? Watch here TrafficComplex.com for the info, and check the TrafficComplex .com Discussion Board too, there may be a special bonus if you post a reply in the Contests and Tips forum, look for it, you’ll see what to do.

The main way to know what is going on, is to look at the post that is on the top of the Home Page, and the Events Calendar, between the two of those and the discussion Board, you will find the answers! If you have read this post I will tell you, from now until the next post, who knows when that will be,the surbar bonus is set to 25 pages and a 250 credit bonus! That means, if you are a new member, surf minimized, and you surf 100 pages, along with your initial 3000 credits, you could have 4100 credits! Here is the biggie, until the next post, the timer will also be set to seven (7) seconds!

Now is the time to get registered and start surfing, if you are a pro surfer, like me, and you are willing to help me out around here, there is a FREE Founding Member upgrade waiting on you! All you have to do is start surfing, drop me a note using the Contact Us form, and tell me you want to help! I will tell you this, if you stop helping, after getting the upgrade, you will be reduced to a Free member once again! Also, please don’t just sign up to get the Free credits, I may activate your sites, but, if you don’t surf, they will be deactivated until you do! Sorry, but that is just my way, play as a team, your team wins, play as an individual, you have no team! So, just get surfing, and good things will happen here for everybody!

The fastest way to get your site indexed is to use Google’s Webmaster Tools, if you don’t have a Google account, get one, then just sign in using your new Google Account information. (Once Google picks it up, the others will follow!)

Once you log in, you will be at the Dashboard, this is where you begin by entering your website information, starting with the URL “http://yoursite.com” , then you need to verify ownership, this is simple, you create a blank html file, named as Google instructs, then upload that to your site’s root directory using an FTP program like SmartFTP, that is my favorite, once you do that, click the Verify button, next, comes the most important part, the sitemap.

For a great sitemap generator go to GSiteCrawler and download it, once that is done, just follow the setup instructions and it will automatically upload it to your site, also in the root directory. If you have a WordPress Blog, there is a plugin, that works great as well, as a matter of fact, the WordPress plugin, Google XML Sitemaps, is so easy and it automatically updates every time you write a post! Anyway, once you have a sitemap, and have it in the proper place, go back to Google Webmaster Tools Dashboard, click the URL for the site you just added, and follow the link for add sitemap, remember it should be in your root directory so the URL should be “http://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml” once that is done, it is time to promote your website!

Always remember, marketing is like a bicycle wheel, the more spokes, the stronger and more true your wheel, so, every method you use is another spoke. Depending on your product and whether you have a “brick and morter” storefront as well as a website, you adjust your marketing plan accordingly. [Read more...]
