Now that Google PageRank update has come and gone, it’s time to finally stop talking about it, right? However, the questions keep pouring in: “Why didn’t I get any PR?” “Why did my site that I barely pay attention to get PR3 and the one I work on every day, got zilch?” “How come TGC [...]

Continuing on with social networking and how to use it to position yourself as a “known entity”, a leader, an expert. When I hear you say “Social media is too much noise“, I agree with you. When I hear you say “Social media is a waste of time“, I do share your feeling. However, I [...]

Social Networking: What Can it REALLY Do For You? Effective traffic generation can’t be achieved without finding and tapping into the best traffic resources for YOUR niche. Can’t sell a burger to a vegetarian, in other words. I recently received a question from one of my readers during a live Sunday Coffee with Ana broadcast: [...]

This being my content marketing week here at Traffic Generation Cafe, I thought that an audit of this particular blog will fit right in. Why? Because the content of the blog is definitely as unique as the blogger herself. Her titles rock, her topics have teeth, and she shares some great tips in each and [...]

Let’s start with this oldie, but goodie: “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Why is it still on the list of the most used phrases? Probably, because it’s so true. When it comes down to blogging, a great picture will become the anchor that will catch your eyes before anything else does. Sometimes, it’s [...]

Oh, my, oh, my… My first live broadcast turned out to be a huge success! What I loved about it: 1. You showed up! 2. Had visitors from Ireland, Australia, India, Singapore, Italy, all over the U.S. - goes without saying. Some of you woke up at 7am, some of you never went to bed. [...]

Personality is the key… if you know how to use it. That’s my overall feeling about the object of this Blog Audit Friday. Everything goes for him: personality, knowledge, drive; the only thing that’s left is wrapping it up in a beautiful package and presenting it to the readers in a way that they can’t [...]
This is NOT another post about Google PageRank. I am nauseous from all the “crystal ball” discussions on the topic going on all around the blogosphere and beyond. However, I did learn some interesting facts pertaining to pagerank, so I will unbiasedly present them as I saw them. You draw your own conclusions and let [...]

Let me start with sounding like a broken record - I am really good at that: guest posting is the SINGLE best thing you can do to increase your traffic. Period. Guest posting gives you an opportunity to high-jack somebody else’s audience; preferably the one that’s far greater than what you currently have. Otherwise, what’s [...]

Can you make money blogging without spending money? Theoretically, yes. But if you don’t want to wait for years to develop your blog all on your own with nothing by sweat and tears, then sooner or later you’ll start seeking out some help in the form of ebooks, courses, plugins, software, etc. Patience is not [...]

Good morning, fellow coffee drinkers, and welcome to the Traffic Generation Cafe! A few months ago, I got myself one of those very nifty Nespresso single-serving coffee makers that brews a perfectly fresh and delicious caffeinated goodness one cup at a time. I was hooked! If you think I am too harsh sometimes, especially when [...]

And… life is back to normal after the holidays. Which means that it’s time for me to start telling you again what I do and don’t like about your blogs and how to fix it. The point of this Friday series is to identify common problems, find solutions to those problems, and make your blog [...]

Many of you have heard of this issue, but I bet very few of you can actually say it without twisting your tongue: canonicalization. A mouthful of a word to describe a simple concept: In Google’s eyes, https://trafficgenerationcafe.online and https://trafficgenerationcafe.online are 2 different sites. Without getting all technical on you (actually, I couldn’t even if [...]
