Getting Traffic with Web 2.0
Michael Phelps was all the craze during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. About 20 minutes before his Olympic Gold Record setting race I purchased OlympicGoldRecord.com. To be honest, I was extremely surprised that that domain was available and I was quick to snatch it up. I installed WordPress and started posting some articles related to the Olympics, Michael Phelps, and Olympic Gold Records. Within 24 hours I was receiving decent organic search engine traffic for various keywords I was going after. But the real power of Web 2.0 traffic was soon to be discovered.
I searched the web for anything and everything related to Michael Phelps and came to this post on Amazon Askville. First thing I did was create a post on Olympic Gold Record that featured what the question was inquiring about and named the post accordingly. Check out the post here. Next, I went back to Askville and simply answered the original question as a normal web surfer would and provided a link to my site. To my surprise, I started getting some really decent, high quality traffic.
Welcome!
This is the first site I have created with the specific intention of helping others as compared to making myself money. It is crazy to think about how far I have come in so many facets of being a successful internet marketer and webmaster over the past 18 months. It took me 19 days to make my first sale and I will never forget the sense of accomplishment I felt. All of my hard work- the hours and hours of sleepless nights spent lurking forums and blogs trying to figure this internet game out, was validated with that first sale. From there a sale every couple of weeks turned into a couple of sales a week which turned into daily sales and so on. Why was my success fast-tracked online? Because of the people that I have been fortunate enough to work with have shared their secrets, and now after 2 years of silence, I’m sharing mine with the world.
