Utube, Yotube, Yutube, Youtude: Take Advantage of Misspelled Words

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008 | Blogging - Design, Blogging Tips, Blogging for Traffic, RSS Feeds with 8 Comments

School Misspelled signing

I used the different forms of “Youtube” such as Utube, Yotube, Yutube and Youtube as my examples for misspelled words. So, why in the hell am I misspelling these words? Well, the main reason is the fact that you can take advantage of the traffic it generates; particularly search engine traffic.

I know we should all be professional with grammar and punctuation when it comes to certain niches - particularly MMO, entrepreneur, blogging tips type of blogs - but once in a while a misspelled word (or words) can go a long way.

In my example with the “Utube, Yotube, Yutube and Youtude” words, many people spell these wrong when they’re searching for what they are really looking for. And I bet a majority of the times they don’t do it on purpose.

For instance, have you ever Googled something and accidentally missed a letter or typed too fast and added an additional letter? Well, you’re not the only one. And the more you know about SEO, the more you can take advantage of those certain misspelled words.

Now, I’m not saying Utube, Yotube, Yutube or Youtude are the only words that can generate traffic but if you look up potential traffic they can generate through search engines, you’d be amazed.

I took a quick screenshot of the estimated traffic from SEOTOOLS you could get from “yutube” as an example.

If you look, people could potentially gain up to 912 daily unique visitors. Now, it would require some knowledge in SEO but if you can manage to get yourself in the top 3 spots within that keyword rank, you’ll be all set. Of course, we are all aiming for that number 1 spot.

Now don’t go misspell every single word you can think of because more than likely your readers will get turned off on the fact that you’re writing is like a 5th grader. But if you do some keyword research, keep in mind misspelled words can help you as well.

Side note: I know the other day I wrote “Search Engine Traffic = More Money and More RSS Subscribers”, I’ll be writing the second part to that this week as well as revealing the new contest for the Nintendo Wii prize.

Search Engine Traffic = More Money and More RSS Subscribers

I used to try to build a readership from social networking but did you know it could be better through search engine traffic? Matter of fact, search engine traffic not only can increase your readership with RSS Feeds but it can equal more money as well too!

Let’s start off on how search engine traffic can increase your RSS Feed subscribers and build your readership. When people use search engines, their primary focus is looking for a specific item/topic/product/information, etc, right? Well, when they find that information from your site, it’s your job to keep them there and get them as a subscriber.

You just need to know how to do it right.

See, first impression is everything to a search engine visitor because they have an unbiased opinion on your site, especially if it’s a MMO blog or something that most people bloggers despise. I mean, they landed on your page for a reason, you know?

Now, it’s your job to entice them to subscribe. And honestly, those buttons and lines saying “please subscribe here if you like this article” is fine and dandy but a search engine visitor probably wouldn’t subscribe on their first visit just based on that. I mean, would you?

Exactly.

So, when I say to entice them, you want to let them know there are going to be additional posts that will fit their needs and if they don’t want to miss it, they should subscribe. An example, you can do a ‘post series’ like a lot of bloggers do so if they liked your first post series entry, they’ll almost be forced to check back. I mean, you left them with a cliffhanger and they need to know the ending!

Another example: Say you own a celebrity photo blog, you can always write “subscribe here as I’ll be adding additional pictures of Beyonce nude here.” Well, maybe not of Beyonce nude but just additional pictures (now you get the Beyonce pic reference, right? You can see additional pictures of Beyonce below)… just make sure you actually update with more pictures or you’ll possibly have people unsubscribing like they just lost in your blog contest.

Submit to 47 Social Bookmarking Sites in 15 Minutes and Make Money from it!

Thursday, June 26th, 2008 | Blogging Tips, Blogging Tools, Blogging for Traffic, Make Money Online with 21 Comments

Remember how the other day I mentioned that list of dofollow social bookmarking sites that will help you with backlink juices? Well, I also said I would write a post on how to submit to a bunch of those in 5 minutes (and I got some requests as well… and one spoiler lol) But here it is.

Since there are about 19 dofollow social bookmarking sites that I know of currently, there’s a very easy way to submit to all of them in less than 5 minutes. You go to socialmarker.com and it lets you enter in all the “bookmark details” and after that, it’s just a matter of clicking submit.

Okay, maybe it’s not that easy. Like I said before, you have to register accounts with each of those social bookmarking sites before you use socialmarker.com. After you have done so, it’s just a matter of filling in the details of your post title, post URL, text and tags.

After you fill out that quick form, all you have to do is click submit, next, submit, next and BAM! You’re done in less than 5 minutes… well, only if you’re doing the dofollow social bookmarking ones. Matter of fact, socialmarker.com also sorts it for you by clicking on a simple “dofollow” button.

You can also sort by the best social bookmarking (as in the most popular), news and all.

Personally, I aim for the dofollow ones because it actually gives more backlink juices to help your posts out in search engines.

Don’t get me wrong, you could submit to all of them and it’ll take less than 15 minutes to do. And if you do, your posts will also get indexed in Google a lot faster as well!

Now, for those of you guys who never knew about these types of sites, you can also make money from this.

How you ask?

Well, a lot of people are lazy *cough* Jason a.k.a. The University Kid *cough* but there are people willing to pay you for submitting their articles to social bookmarking and media sites. To these individuals who don’t know about these easy ways of submitting, you can take advantage of that (and no, there’s nothing wrong with helping a lazy person out).

DoFollow Social Bookmarking Sites that Will Help You!

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008 | Blogging for Traffic, Other/Random with 15 Comments

We all know social bookmarking sites are a great way to gain exposure and build traffic to your site. But what if I told you that there are a handful of dofollow social bookmarking sites which would also help you with backlinks and help you with search engine traffic for competitive keywords? I mean, it’s nice to submit to those big social bookmarking sites like Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon but besides temporary traffic, how else would it help you?

Now, I’m sure a lot of you guys are just sick of all these social bookmarking sites. I mean, whenever I mention it to another person, 99% of the times it’s the same reaction.

“Damn, WTF? Yet another social bookmarking site? How many of these damn sites are continually coming out each and everyday?!”

Hey, I’m not going to lie to you, I have the same reaction sometimes. Usually what people do is try a handful of them out and narrow down which ones bring them the most traffic. Take “the Triangle Strategy” that Patrick of Piggybankpie came up with. But a majority of these sites will not help with backlink juices for you to rank high in certain keywords.

Below are a bunch of dofollow social bookmarking sites and I will continue to update as I find them. I would suggest signing up for a majority of them now and I’ll write a follow-up post on a very easy way of submitting to all these sites in less than 5 minutes.

Oh, and before I forget, can you guys please check to see if you won the unclaimed prizes? I know for a fact that a bunch of you guys read this blog that won, and I even gave you a backlink. Claim those prizes already before I donate it to one of my top commentators!

And Barry, you’re one of my top commentators and you won something! Claim it already!

Lastly, yes, that’s a picture of Christina Milian. You guys already know that I like putting pictures of hot celebrities on here, so if you’re still reading up to this point, I will give a backlink to those who suggest a beautiful celeb that I have not put on here before. If I use that celebrity, I will give you full credit for suggesting it to me.

Free Orkut Themes for Orkut Social Networking Users

Sunday, June 15th, 2008 | Blogging - Design, Blogging Tools, Blogging for Traffic, Contests, Other/Random with 17 Comments

If you guys have never heard of Orkut, then I guess these Free Orkut themes mean nothing to you. But it’s a social networking site and I heard it can bring in some good traffic (particularly traffic outside the U.S.) for those who are interested. But this post isn’t going to be describing how to get traffic from it, but instead, what Orkut is and also I’ll be including a bunch of free Orkut themes that I have found for you guys who are interested in checking it out.

Orkut is a social networking site which is run by Google (yup, they’re taking over everything!). It’s name ‘Orkut’ is named after the creator and Google employee, Orkut Buyukkokten.

And if you are looking for a lot of traffic outside of the United States, well, the website is most visited by Brazil and second most by India. Matter of fact, over half of Orkut’s users are from Brazil.

If you haven’t checked them out, it’s definitely another great source for traffic. But you need to set up your page so this is where the free Orkut themes come into play.

If you’re like me, you probably haven’t really heard of Orkut, so besides going to their website, you want to get a free Orkut theme just like you would for a Wordpress theme and set yourself up.

Below are a handful of free Orkut themes that I think are pretty cool in design that you could use:
