I know - I’ve been quite since Tuesday. I’ve almost been awake since Tuesday, technically. I have something big planned that’s going to happen soon - maybe even tomorrow.
For now, I have a tip from one of my favorite tipsters in the world, Michel Fortin. I learned a bunch of tips from him forever ago in Internet time, that made a big difference to me back when I was only looking to make a part time income online.
But I’ll let Michel talk, I have to get on a horizontal surface and go to sleep. Preferably a bed.
Though at this point it doesn’t materr.
Clip ==> “The two biggest traffic builders I use are: 1) posting on message boards, forums, blogs and discussion lists; and 2) writing, syndicating, publishing and submitting articles to ezine publishers — including my own (such as my blog, my newsletter or my website’s archives).
Now, let’s take a closer look, shall we?”

This new change will lower the cost of quality ads and uses efficient market theory to make it more expensive to run untargeted bulk eBay affiliate ads.”

Since chairman Bill Gates gave Virtual Earth the green light five months ago, Microsoft has built the site, folded its MapPoint software group and several researchers into a new group inside MSN, and gone on a hiring spree that will see the team grow to maybe 70 people.Microsoft plans to integrate Virtual Earth with its MSN travel and auto sites and wants to negotiate deals with companies to put their logos on the satellite images, which come from TerraServer, a Microsoft site that was one of the first to make satellite photography accessible to large numbers of online users. Microsoft plans to update Virtual Earth this fall with close-up cityscape photos and more-detailed satellite images.

If you remember a few months back, I started making my husband Google sleep on the couch. I was angry at him (in my mind Google is a man - don’t ask. :-D) for the whole Autolink thing, and took all my AdSense ads down in protest.
This morning, I invited him to come in and sleep in our bedroom again.
Why? What is this crazy chick talking about now?
If you have a Personalized Google Home Page (which is free by the way), no matter how little you know about RSS, you can subscribe to feeds very easily - if you can type in a keyword or a site’s home page link you can subscribe to a feed.
This is part of the techie-ing down of RSS that is going to take the hard part out of subscribing to an RSS feed. And as I’ve told you before - when that happens? The pretty-good competitive advantage you have by implementing RSS now is going to increase exponentially.
Back when I made that post, this feature wasn’t even rumored to be available. And when Google made its home page more personal, I was thinking, “so what?”, as I was more impressed that day with Yahoo’s My WEb 2.0.
But I take it all back. If my first love Google will still have me, I’ll have to put Yahoo on the back burner where he belongs.
Why you ask? Why would this possibly be of any imporance to me?
Helloooooo?
BOTH of the two most powerful search engines in the world now have the ability to let the people wh come to your site and don’t understand RSS add you to their homepage. Talk about a traffic boost - if you’re using RSS at your site and your auto-discovery tag is in place, when a person does a search that you’re ranked for when adding a section to their personal page they only get results for sites that have feeds.
So where I rank number four in organic results for free traffic?
If someone creates a custom section on their Google page for free traffic, I’m number two.
And no, it’s not perfect yet (I rank behind a site that isn’t even relevant to that result.) But imagine what that will do for your traffic if you’re using RSS…
I’ll leave you to ponder that. I’ll do an audio or video post about this later today or tomorrow to walk you through the processs, and tell you how I got a clue about this the other day and didn’t even make the connection.
First I want to do some research to see if there’s some kind of “Add to Google” link or button we can display on our sites…

Thoughts ==> I’ve loved Robin Good’s site for a long time, but recently the amount of good information you can find there is just Out of Control. An issue I was discussing with a friend today led me to my feeds for research on the source he was citing, and that led me directly to this article.
Clip ==> “This newly published online resource publishes 118 positive and negative SEO factors that may likely affect your Google ranking inside search engine page results. The factors are grouped into “on page” and “off page” (links coming from other sites, factors and those factors clearly supported within the recently reviewed Google patent are colored in green.
Remember that the fewer incoming links that you have, the more important on-page factors are. ”
