Free Traffic Tips

We are so bogged down with extra information that we can’t even think sometimes. And sadly, some people are taking this unprecedented overabundance of data and information, and using the fact that you don’t know who to trust against you.

The very first thing you’ll need to learn to do if you want to learn what information to trust and whose information is worthwhile, is to learn that there is a huge difference between information and data. Data is just input. It isn’t classified into a category or topic, it’s an assorted collection of facts, that may even be random.

Facts do NOT have any meaning until their boundries are defined. If I send you a message that reads 35007, if you don’t have the right parameters to decipher it, you don’t know what it means. Data isn’t information until it has meaning to YOU. Now if you were informed that you had to turn your cell phone upside down to see the word, you’d see that it’s a keypad representation for the word LOOSE.

We’re in talks to link with another site that already has active forums and to add a bunch of web 2.0ish stuff to the site over the next month or so right before the membership site relaunches, and after I catch up with any pending obligations.

Best answer, first answer and a random answer will all win an hour of free phone consulting from me, worth from $375 to $2000, depending on the circumstances. It won’t take place until August because I’m still recovering, but I’ll confirm the date with you as soon as you win. This will be open for 2 weeks and mentioned in the next two newsletters.

I haven’t been around lately because I’ve been looking around at what people are charging hundreds or thousands of dollars for these days that are basically a rip-off of sites like CopyBlogger, Andy Beard, ProBlogger, Pearsonified, even Ewen Chia’s blog.

(And yes, ours too, but this isn’t about me, it’s about you.)

And maybe those who are ripping these kind folks off aren’t aware of it yet, but the age where the unscrupulous marketer could get away with charging someone for an ebook that never gets delivered, a home study course that is basically just printed-out Wikipedia, or a live seminar that essentially is charging people to be sold to the entire four hours is O V E R.

VideoJug: Jaiku Vs Twitter

Jaiku is a bit more robust than Twitter, which makes it more or less desireable, depending on who you talk to about the matter. Jaiku calls itself a mini-blog, and though, early on, I thought it was for the birds, I’m giving it another chance, I say why in the video… but part of the reason is, it’s just so… pretty…
