How do you drive traffic to your home based business blog?
After all, a blog on the net will not simply attract people on its own. It is not a case of ‘If you build it, they will come.’ If you already have a LIST, you have a ready audience. If not, then just like any website on the net, you must do the work to get it indexed in the search engines for your targeted keywords.
In other words, you’ve got to make sure that people find you when they do a search for what you have blogged about!
I spent a weekend with master internet marketers and came away with some very interesting and strategic tips for you to use to drive traffic to your home business blog with SEO. Most of them I wasn’t even doing yet … and my blogs do OK! Imagine how yours will do if you follow “The Six Step Formula for Driving Targeted Traffic to Your Blog.”

Mel,
Sorry I wasn’t able to attend the webinar. But, wow. What a post. I realize now that I’d been spending my ‘promote my blog’ time inefficiently.
This simple, six-step process makes total sense–covers all based.
As usual, thanks for the ‘right on’ info!
To Success,

Melanie,
I really liked your latest post! The 6 steps are very easy to follow. How do people add to 5 different RSS directories!
I want to read through more of your blog. If I find more great content, I would like to link to your blog.
Thanks for connecting with me on Twitter!

Great post Melanie. Keep up the great posts and sharing your valuable information. We all appreciate it.
Melanie,
Great list of steps! I do something very similar in nature. I also create a quick video and promote my article/blog post on You Tube and then use Traffic Geyser to syndicate the video to numerous sites.
Thanks for sharing this!

P.S. Your pingoat link in this post is not working correctly.
Great tip Andie!
Video is really the ‘secret sauce’ for SEO – and Traffic Geyser is a great way to get your content (of all types) out there & indexed quickly.
Melanie,
These are some awesome tips. I’ve never done the RSS on bookmarking things before. I will have to incorporate that into my posts. Thanks for sharing these secrets with the rest of us.
Great blog by the way. And congrats on your big check!
