Following in ShoeMoneys Foot Steps

Well that is the plan at least. I recently signed up for Shoemoneys free How to Make Money Online for Beginners.

I will follow the information that he will send me and will post my weekly comments or results here. I will of course have my other semi-regular posts as well.

Have you signed up for this Shoemoney program? What do you think?

Success with Adwords

I have tried with little success to use the Google Adwords product. I thought it might be a great way to drive targeted traffic to my websites at a reasonable cost. Well most every time I have tried this I end up with $1, $2, $5, and more minimum click costs? I understand that is this is supposed to be telling me that my content or keyword is not relevant but how is runnings ads for widget not relevant when your site is about widgetsonline?

Maybe I am missing something.

I recently saw that Google is having some Seminar for Success programs for Adwords throughout the county. Has anyone went to one of these? Is is something that may be of interest to you? How are you using Adwords. Please feel free to comment and let me know what you think.

Traffic from Social Websites

Are you using social sites like digg, delicious, twitter and other to increase traffic to your site? ShoeMoney recently wrote an article about twitter saying that after using Twitter for one year he received 25,000 visits direct from twitter.

Now of course Shoemoney is a SEO / Web Marketing Hero, how does that affect a SEOLoser like myself. I do not currently have a site that even gets 25,000 visits per month. Well, on a smaller scale Twitter and the other social network sites are very helpful in bringing traffic to your sites. I launched the Twitter account for this site on May 5th, and I am currently getting about 6 visits per day from Twitter and the rest of the Twittosphere. If that pace continues and say that goes to 60 within a couple of months, or 4-500 visits per day in a year, that is a nice extra traffic boost for me.

If you have not used this services to attempt to drive traffic to your site give it a try. If you have, let us know the results.

Thanks for reading.
