Recently, my colleague - Hank Blank, wrote a post on his blog titled “Networking Isn’t A One Night Stand”. He told me the bounce rate was super low probably because it fell under tip #7 (Great Title).

In case you want to see the post, you can find it at hankblank “dot” wordpress “dot” com.

I like the “so what” and the conference word picture because your idea should be to get someone to want to learn from you.

You’ve got a nice set of tools there. I’ve been looking hard into the subscriber’s magnet and market samurai. I’m definitely buying them soon.

Wow, I had no idea these things existed… but after reading this, it sounds like a brilliant idea! I’ve been new to the whole “commenting” thing for the past couple months and I had no idea how much it could do for my blog! Thanks for sharing this, Ana. :)

Hi Mavis,

I am starting internet marketing adventure, and since i have made a few sales, it encourages me to earn more, lazy money, who does not want it? lol.

I have notice using blog commentings do not work as good as the search engine traffics with those special keywords, as i think search engine traffics are people who are ready to spend their money on the information they searched.

When they are not becoming leads, i wonder what i can do more to generate the sales.

Thanks for this great share,

Kimi.

Hello Everyone,
I am not commenting on this post specifically, but to the many posts I have read at Ana’s Traffic Generation Blog. My Fitness Blog started out about 60 days ago with no Alexa ranking (Traffic Measure), then it was about 14,000,000. Wow, I was noticed! As of this morning, I broke the 1 million mark (943,394)! I know it’s still high, but still exciting. I now have about one to two new subscribers to my Opt-in list each day! Again, may not be much to many, but I do attribute much of it to reading the intelligent posts here! Good luck everyone!

I am excited for your progress, Bryan - these things definitely take time and you are moving in the right direction for sure.

You are not afraid to ask questions and learn and that’s what differentiates you from many other bloggers out there.

Pleasure to have your around.

Ana

I gotta say, your audits are better then so many reviews I see, and they charge for it!

They’re also exactly the way it should be done; the way I try to teach others to do them…..brutally honest, but with a touch of class and always helpful.

“This is bad, fix it” is no good for anyone. “This is not so good, but here’s 3 suggestions to make it better”…..perfect!

Btw, commentluv appears to be on the fritz.

Hi Ana,

As a proud member of your Facebook tribe, I cannot thank you enough for inviting me to join you.

At the time, there was no much activity on my blog and I wasn’t even sure if I was really qualified to be a part of your group. Now, I can’t believe the traffic and comments that I am now getting. Yes, just like you, the initial comments were from the other members, but I soon started seeing new faces as well :)

It’s really great to see my content/links being shared all over the place by other people - building social proof for me :)

And your strict and clear rules are keeping us all in line and that explains why our group is so successful. Those who can’t take the heat, they simply leave the kitchen! :)

I have a blogging schedule and I find that by being a member of your group has also helped me to stick to it. I never wanted to miss a deadline to submit my new posts. It gives me a sense of responsibility.

Lastly, I have met incredible people and have learned a lot from them. In fact, I’m still learning new things everyday :)

So, Ana, from the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank you massively for inviting me to join your amazing group and for all your help since I met you a few months ago.

Keep up the good work. All the best to you!

Mavis

Hello Mavis,

The pleasure is mine for having you in my group. You are an amazing person and you were able to contribute greatly and have done your part as member of the community. Thanks also for being one of us. You are irreplaceable.

Have a great day,

Ana

Hi Ana,

wow, another powerful audit from your desk. As far as I’m concerned, I had some type of guts feeling that something was wrong with my blog and I even sensed what, not in entire detail of course.

So no need to whine if someone points it out professionally like you.

Deep down, we know it already.

If I go and see a doctor because I feel sick I want him to tell me what I have and not that I am healthy when I’m not. I mean, even positive thinking has its limits.

That was my attitude when I volunteered for your blog audit.

I am sure that Robert also views it from the professional angle.

The good thing about your audits is their regularity. Every Friday they remind me of my own points of ache and that my to do-list that is still long.

Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Take care

Oliver

Thanks, Oliver; that’s exactly my feeling.

I haven’t heard from Robert yet :) ; time to go see what he is up to and what he thought of the audit.

Have a great weekend!

Ana

Hey Ana,

Totally agree with you that the number of comments made on a post is “social proof” that people are reading and people frequently visit your blog. Having a traffic commenting tribe is a very interesting idea and I like it when you said in one of the comments about making it a small instead of too large a group.

Reply

Ana Hoffman trafficgenerationcafe.com December 19, 2010 at 8:10 am

I strongly feel that we need to help our business, not overwhelmed ourselves further, Bryan.

With that in mind, the size of the tribe is very important: just big enough to fulfill its purpose, yet small enough not to become your second day job. :)

Thanks for coming by and wishing you a great weekend.

Ana

Hi Ana,
Another great post! I’m one of those that never understood how twitter works but this post made me understand a little more.

Can I ask you how you are able to insert an opt in form at the bottom of each post.

thanks
