The Open Source Marketer

How would you like to increase your blog traffic by making a few simple changes to your blog? Of course you would. Visitor traffic is the life blood of any blog and knowing what works can save you a lot of time.

To help emphasis some of the common mistakes that bloggers can make I am posting this video case study from Yaro Starak over at BlogMastermind.com. In the video Yaro reviews the blog over at AquaristsOnline.com to give them advice on how they can increase their blog traffic by making a few simple changes to what they are doing today.

In this review the blog is getting 250 unique visiters a day with about a 10% return rate and a 60% bounce rate. Read the rest of this entry »

Please do not beat me! You were promised an article about how to use Del.icio.us to get more visitor traffic for your blog and it is really almost finished. The problem is there is so much to say that I keep re-writing parts of it.

So, please don’t beat me. You will get your article and I will get to write the next article in the series. But, until then, here is something you need to read about. My good Italian friend who is a master of video tutorials recently put out seven fantastic videos about Firefox extensions that will make your life easier.

Here are the 7 Firefox extensions covered in the videos:

1. Get Pagerank And Alexa Rank Of Any Web Site - This is great for selecting sites to target for link building.
2. The Ultimate SEO Plug-in - I use this plugin and it will absolutely change the way you get information about websites.
3. Find Out Your Competition In Google In Different Countries - This is great for knowing who you can potentially target for joint venture partnerships.
4. Monitor Any Website For Changes - Stay on top of specific websites.
5. Exclude Your Own Visits In Google Analytics - Keep your numbers real so you get an honest look at your traffic.
6. Automatically Backup And Synchronize Your Bookmarks - Keep everything up to date without a hassle.
7. No More Waiting When You Click On A Pdf Link - Not waiting is always a good thing, especially when it comes to PDFs.

These extensions are a great addition to your productivity and Internet marketing toolbox. Vittorio walks you through each one. Vittorio really is a master at video, so read his blog post, Top 7 Firefox Extensions For Web Site Owners and give the videos a squint. While you’re there check out the rest of his video library. He does not sleep much so he has an impressive collection of video tutorials.

Now back to that Del.icio.us article,
