Every website/blog owners are always looking for ways to get traffic everytime. Anyone can easily drive loads of traffic instantly but most of them are by paying a fee(Pay-per-click).

While there are people paying to get traffic, not all of us are able or want to spend money without thinking of the budget. But on the good side, there are actually many ways to drive traffic without a cost too(Free!).

Let me share with you one method that doubled my traffic instantly without a fee.

This method will work well only if you put in some time and effort. If you couldn’t, then I advise you not to read on.

The method that I’m teaching you is by commenting on blog posts that are :

1. Research

In order to get the most and targetted traffic to your website/blog, firstly you must find blogs that are related to your niche. Secondly, these blogs must have a good amount of traffic/readers reading it.

To do that, I use Google Blog Search – http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en

It’s one of the more reliable service that I’ve used so far, and the plus point is that it’s totally free!

2. Be Choosy

After you have found some blogs that are related to yours, now it’s time to dive in and get the most out from them. But in order to do that, you must make sure the blog posts that you are going to comment on are the “latest” if not “the most commented” ones.

3. Commenting Approach

While many have spam the comment areas in popular blogs, that doesn’t mean they got their way through.. Most of these spam ended up blocked and blacklisted.

Below is a list of characteristics you should look into when you comment on blogs:

Real Identity
Your Primary Email (Only Seen By The Blog Owner)
Friendly Salutation
Don’t Spam
Helpful Comments Relating To Blog Posts
Your Own Blog Posts Url (*Optional* – Unless this url is fully related to the post you are commenting on)
Be Friendly
No Criticism (Save it to yourself even if the posts isn’t up to your standard – Don’t be a public enemy)

Below is an example of how I would comment and you should follow:

Hey “Blog Owner”

This is a really good post regarding parrot training.

Although you suggested controlling their diet during training period, I did fairly well without starving them but instead adding in tasty treats to blend in their cravings during training.

Some of the treats I use:

Honey Fruitbars

Fruits (Especially berries)

Corn

I do have a post regarding how I train my parrots while using the treats I mentioned effectively, hope it can be of any use to your readers. http://www.erwintan.com/parrottraining101

Cheers,

Erwin Tan

4. Repeat The Process

Now move on to more relevant blog posts and give some helpful comments. If your comments are helpful, readers may willingly flock to your site.

Why is that so? Well, most of the commented posts are usually good and interesting posts that might have been Digged or Retweet over and over again, driving loads of readers to it and there is always a huge possiblity that they will go to yours after reading your helpful comment.

And let’s not forget the blog owners may even blog/linkback/blogroll your site thus bringing your site/blog traffic/making it viral/helping you build your brand as well.

Hope that this post could help you get more targetted readers to your blog – especially those who are just starting out. Do leave a comment below and share with us how you tweak your commenting style.

Thanks!

One Major Procrastination That Affects Everything

The picture says it all.. Isn’t it?

Most of us know too well that our body will not work in top condition if we never get enough quality sleep everyday. Although most of us get real tired after long hours of work but we still push ourselves to squeeze out a couple more of hours to work past wee hours. Worth while?

I’m rather excited and proud of this post as I’m gonna use myself as a case study for this post. Not some kind of good case study example though.

Ever since I’ve started working from home, I’ve neglected my sleep by burning midnight oil most of the days. In fact, I’m still doing this.

So how does the lack of sleep really affected me?

Giddy spells everyday
Craving for sugar thus leading to gaining weight
Puffy eyebags that seem to be there for ages
Dropping of hair ( Check your pillow)
Dehydration
Nightmares
Sleepwalk (I was shellshocked after my family told me this)
Fatigue (Literally tired physically and mentally)
Negative 99% concentration
Hallucinations (Scary but true)

So are you suffering any of the above like me?

Since most of us know this truth but why are we still procrastinating and neglecting it? Maybe it’s time for a change.

If you want to check out more informations about how lack of sleep will affect our well-being, head over to google and search “lack of sleep effects”

Let’s get more sleep..

How To Choose A Topic For Your Blog Post

Everytime when we sit down and blog, the most challenging issues will be what topic shall we blog about to make the best out of it.

Choosing a good topic is like having a good headstart in race. Once you have a good headstart, there will be no stopping and most likely to win the race. Thus having a good topic to start with, it will establish your main niche/branding in your blog and attract targetted readers easily.

I’ve come up with some ideas on how you can choose a topic for your blog posts:

Get ideas from hot selling magazines
Think of problems you are facing and write a “how-to” post to help your readers
Be creative – Your readers not only want to read about your successes but they also want to read about how you did it and the ups & downs in it
Ask your readers – Setup a poll asking them what they wish to read
Read up your old posts and derive ideas from them
Check out other blogs and see what popular posts topics are
Pictures – Sometimes you can find a nice picture and related a good topic with it
Don’t post just for the sake of posting – A killer
Be unique – Don’t fully copy other blogs ideas and go with it, add some twists with your unique style

A blog post with no good topic is as good as not having good content with a good topic.
