Hey Ana..
This post is awesome - My process is a bit similar to this, with the addition of creating videos from the blog posts to drive traffic back from YouTube. Not much, but every little bit helps.
Plus, I’ve been getting a good visitor to lead conversion from YouTube when the call to action is to go to a lead capture page. (if that’s any use to you)..
I was thinking about getting more involved with SERPd, as a moderator because I really like what they’re doing.. I might be contacting Gerard pretty soon :0)
thanks
talk soon
Hector
WOW! This is awesome, you just taught an SEO master class in one posting. This blog will definitely be a regular stop for me now. This may be old hat for some, but I am a newbie, and I’m learning new tips and strategies everyday.
Thanks for giving so much value!
Jamie
Hello Jaime,
Thanks for the compliment. I’m glad you appreciate this post. As a newbie this can absolutely help you. Feel free to come back anytime.
All the best,
Ana
Great Advice Lisa… I have writers block frequently! Some days I let it get to me so badly that it gets worse (LOL). Much of this is obviously self inflicted because as you say it’s not ‘law’ to post daily. I have to agree about stepping away and getting air. Often I’ll give into the dog and take him for a run on the beach and once I’m not fighting it… ideas seem to float to the surface when out of the ‘writing’ environment!!
As always, great stuff Anna. Not only am I an avid reader of your stuff, I seek it out.
Real value. Thanks!
Hi Gibson,
Thanks for liking it. I’m glad I made another avid reader out of you.
Keep it up,
Ana
Great post. I actually touched on this in my post today. Sometimes its just plain hard to come up with new content. The only thing I might point out is that you need to be careful when you read other blogs during bouts of writer’s block. The temptation is there to see a great article and be like “oooooh I totally thought of that” and then spin someone else’s post. So be careful!
Chris:
You are absolutely correct! The flip side is “oh man, why didn’t I think of that!” you make a great point and we should all keep that in mind!
I’m glad I found this site on ComLuv.com the tips and strategy you have provided here will go a long way to boost my backlinking.
Thanks very much.
Gilberto Cintron
Good to hear that Gilberto. I’m glad you find your way here. Hope to see you again
Carry on,
Ana
Dwayne:
Ok, Oliver and Dwayne your comments are switched around! Sorry!! Dwanye, I really like that idea that we separate ourselves. That really puts our project in perspective. Thank you for that insight and for reading my post!
That was very nicely written Lisa. Thanks for reminding us this amazing truth.
Our mind usually tells us that that we need to think hard to find new ideas and then work hard to get them done. In fact, the opposite is true. Good ideas come when we take a break from work (and thinking).
Some really bright ideas about my business came to me when I was away from the computer and my mind was switched off.
I had the best ideas when I was sitting at the beach in sunny Med, where there’s always a nice breeze and my only concern was what restaurant to go to for dinner. I never had any inspiration while sitting in the office… I think your post explains why. Thanks
Alex:
The beach is my favorite place to be. This time of year with the dreaded snow, I have to create that beach in my mind! It’s amazing what can happen when we declutter our minds. Thanks for stopping by and reading!
Taking a time out from the computer always works. I usually step outside and smell fresh air, enjoy the sunshine, I take a walk and when I feel that I have already de-stressed, that’s when I get back to my computer.
Andrew:
I agree 100%! Fresh air helps tremendously. Thanks for taking the time to read!
Man-oh-man, isn’t this just the TRUTH??
What great advice this is…my problem is how am I going to force myself to take it?
I get so stressed when I don’t have anything to write about, or I’m not producing the content fast enough to meet Ana’s deadline for her tribe on Face Book…
I’m going to read this post again. & again, until it sinks into my thick skull!
Thanks Lisa, for helping to straighten me out…thanks Ana, for allowing her to.
The both of you - stay inspired!
Michael
Michael:
I will probably have to revert back to this post several times myself! Learning to take our advice can sometimes prove difficult. Now that I know what works for me, I should hope it will be easier! I’m also going to have to look into this Facebook Tribe thing I keep hearing about. Thanks for reading!
Ana loved the list, downloaded your report.
Thank you
Dwayne
You are very welcome, Dwayne - I hope you will be able to use some of the tips from the report to improve your newly redesigned blog.
Ana
Hi Lisa,
awesome advice. It’s always home-made stress if we feel stressed. It’s written nowhere that we have to post today - and we aren’t bad people if we don’t. So stepping away from the task at hand and walking around in the virtual neighbourhood (like reading other blogs and commenting on them) is a great way to reduce stress and build community.
Thanks for sharing your insights and to Ana for allowing this guest post.
It’s hard for me to believe that Ana also suffers from such symptoms
Take care
Oliver
Hey Lisa
Great post. Relaxation is the key. Creative juices flow better when the body and mind are in a relaxed state.
I set my different jobs for each part of creating a blog post.
Ideas Man - Only job is to come up with ideas. He doesn’t write the blog post.
Writer Man - Only job is to write down all the points about the idea form Ideas Man.
Editor Man - Only job is to finesse Writer mans scribbles.
I try never to have them all working at the same time, its just way to stressful. So once Ideas Man has done his job hes off. I take a break, then writer man picks up the baton. Once he is finished hes off. I take a break, then its over to the Editor.
Work quite well, a lot less stress & more creative works.
Thank Ana for sharing Lisa post with us.
Chat soon
Dwayne
Oliver:
I thought the exact thing about Ana! She always has a fresh new outlook on things. But I guess the best of the best can get stressed. I truly feel if we help build the community, then the stress will reduce. We won’t feel so much pressure to write, and we also won’t feel the stress of the post itself, i.e…was it good enough? We can rely on the relationships we built within the community to help us through.
I appreciate you stopping by.
Hi Ana,
Thanks for the IMAutomator.com tip - didn’t know that one.
Andrew and Joel’s course is excellent by the way.
7 Twitter accounts????
~Marcus
You are welcome, Marcus!
Yes… 7 Twitter accounts…
You know what though, with all the automation software in place, it doesn’t take that much more effort to run them. Personal engagement is the only thing that needs attention, but the amount of traffic I generate from it is well worth it.
Ana
Good info, as usual, Ana! A few months back, a good friend turned me on to FriendFeed, and that is always my first bookmark, immediately after posting anything. I’ve tested with Google alerts for unique words in a post, and have seen alerts hit my inbox in as little as eight minutes after bookmarking to FriendFeed!
I also share your enthusiasm for SERPd. Great crew over there, and I think they’ll be growing a LOT!
Good morning, Sheldon:
It seems like many dismiss Friendfeed as a viable part of their overall marketing strategy, but I say to them - not so fast.
Glad you found the same.
I am very excited about SERPd - I think they’ll go a long way!
Ana
Thank for for referring me to IMAutomator, Ana. This tool is so great. This is exactly what I am looking for. OnlyWire is so hard to use and it’s so frustrating. I did not know what to do next when I download it. Do you have the same problem with Onlywire, Ana?
Well, OnlyWire takes time to set up, but I don’t find it hard to use. It takes me about a minute to submit my new post to quite a few bookmarking/social media websites; so I think it’s worth the trouble.
IMAutomator is great and easy; it wont’ bring you loads of traffic, but will definitely create some nice backlinks.
Thanks for coming by, Mike! BTW, I am going to keep asking you until you submit your guest post, so you’d better hurry up and do it!
Ana
Hi Ana,
Great to share your step by step post strategy, some peoples may charge for that kind of information…
)
For my part I add some press release too. They can be pick up by Google News and go to the 1st page for 12 to 15 hours… (Good tips here
Thanks,
Dave B
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the compliment. You are right, this information is not actually free in other sites. Press release is good too.
Have a great day,
Ana
Ana:
I like the blueprint you have and I am slowly seeing the rewards from following your advice. Thank you for listing your steps!
Hi Lisa,
Good for you. I know sometimes it’s so hard to wait for result but just hold on and you will definitely reap the fruit of your labor.
All the best,
Ana
“IM Automator” is kind of low powered to say it gently. It only has some low pr website which are super spammed, but it might have some impact, I am pretty sure it wont hurt.
What are ” Post to Facebook tribes.” never heard if this one before.
I bet this post just help someone get an extra kick in the search engines!
Hi Alex,
Yes it won’t hurt you at all. IM automator works for me. As with FB tribes, you can search for them right in your FB search engine and post url of your site. It’s so easy.
Regards,
Ana
Hi Ana,
you are over-delivering again, thank you. It seems that isn’t rocket science. However, how many people will actually do the work that is involved with it ?
It’s like a recipe: Mix ingredient with 1 with ingredient 2, then add ingredient 3 and so forth.
I have very good experiences with Facebook tribes with regard to traffic and I’m part of the Unified Tribe also.
Thank you again.
Take care
Oliver
Hi Oliver,
I know it looks like it involves too much work using this steps but actually it’s not. They are so easy to use so it will not take too long and 1 person can definitely do it in one sitting.
Regards,
Ana
The best backlink blog post I’ve read and whilst I’ve tried using some of the commands successfully I’ve been less sucessful in actually generating the links - but I’ll keep going.
When I worked for agencies we relied heavily on paid links and now I’m working for myself I’ve been trying to pursue a link strategy without buying links - but it seems tougher than I thought it would be - particularly as it seems ‘no follow’ is the standard practice for any decent PR blog.
Any thoughts on the split between ‘free’ links and paid - is there a range which you believe is optimum?
Hi, Mike:
I think paid links in general are a dangerous game to play. I personally never do it.
You are right: finding great dofollow links is a challenge, but it’s not impossible. I think most of us, linkbuilders have a nice list of high PR dofollow blogs that we’ve accumulated over time.
Check out this dofollow tool on my blog: https://trafficgenerationcafe.online/dofollow-blogs-finder-tool/
Hope this helps!
Ana, I picked up two important tips here today. Thanks for the excellent post. Tweeting it now.
Hello John,
Great. I’m glad you did.
Keep it up,
Ana
Great step by step plan Ana
Looks like you have another follower..
Cheers,

Uri
Wow thanks Uri. Just come back anytime for more ideas.
Take care,
Ana
Does pinging your content really bring you more traffic? for some reason I’m thinking no. In directly perhaps over time it can help but I highly doubt the ping itself brings in traffic.
I think the best advice in this articel would be twitter, facebook, blogengage and serpd. These are excellent channels to drive real traffic from real people that bring your blog real comment. The rest is almost hit and miss really and provide little or no consistency. This is why I think I enjoy social networking so much. The end result is always positive.
Sending e-mails a is a great way to generate traffic but I try to avoid this unless I’m throwing a content or something is happening with the website our members should know about.
Sending mass e-mails out of blog engage can bring in 100 to 1500 unique hits every time it’s just awesome!
Overall great articel Anne!
p.s. where is your blog engage button jezz?
You are right, Brian - pinging itself doesn’t bring direct traffic.
However, it does create almost instant backlinks, as does social bookmarking. Those quick backlinks can definitely help you push your post to the top of search engines - I’ve seen it happen in as little as 2 hours after publishing.
That’s how pinging can equal traffic.
As I mentioned, some of these things are backlinking strategies that are meant to bring long-term traffic.
Ana
PS You are right I need to add a BlogEngage button.
Hey Ana this is awesome! You continue to provide kick ass information to us! Here’s what I do: share on twitter, facebook, and a few groups on FB. Use onlywire to bookmark, comment on blogs (specifically those with commentluv), sometimes use ezine but I never have luck with traffic from there, weekly newsletter to subscribers. Been really ramping up the networking via comments and twitter. Hope they make a difference!
Hi Susan,
Good for you. I’m glad you’re doing well with the technique you are using. If you can manage it, you can still add some that I have mentioned here for more traffic.
Carry on,
Ana
Hi Ana,
I stick with most of your blog post marketing methods.
I too ran into a similar situation with Pingoat. Frequent hiccups over there.
Friendfeed is a hidden jewel; I’ve used it for about a month now.
Thanks for sharing and have a powerful day!
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
I’m glad we’re on the same page. Just continue with what you’re doing and the result will definitely be great.
Have a nice day,
Ana
Hi Ana,
I do use some of these methods, but a few of them I hadn’t heard of until you mentioned them. Thanks for the information. I will be using thes ideas in the future. Until my blog is highly ranked, I have to rely on manually presenting posts, and the more methods, the better.
Lou
Hello Lou,
That’s good. At least you’re already familiar with some of them. It would be easy for you and I know it can surely help you with the ranking.
Take care,
Ana
Hi Ana, thanks for the articles. I was not in clear about these two earlier until I did my own research like you did in your article. After I found out about the trackback (since I got a lot of those and deep down, I know there are spams), nowadays I mostly approved pingback.
I wrote about the difference in one of my blog post but in my local language. Since I found your article, I will link back to your post here for an English version. Thanks a lot.
Hello Azizul,
Good for you. Just continue with what you are doing.
Keep it up,
Ana
Wow, this is a goldmine here. How long does it take you to go through and do all of these steps.
I’m definitely going to nail down an efficient procedure to get the word out about posts.
I’m surprised and embarrassed about how many forums/sites to help your traffic that I DIDN’T know about.
Hello John,
Thanks so much for your plan to share this post to others. That would be great. As with the process, at first since you’re not yet used to it, it will take some time but later it will be easier and faster for you. try it for yourself and you’ll see.
Cheers,
Ana
