Free Traffic Tips

How’s that for a catchy title. You never know what’s happening unless you take a peek.

If you had a choice between a single-person search party or a search team of a half-dozen, which would you choose? All those that answered a ‘half-dozen’ can go to the head of the class!

Why not put six search engines to work on something in the same time it takes to use one? This is what is called metasearch.

Dogpile puts the power of all the leading search engines together in one search box to deliver the best combined results. This process is more efficient and yields more relevant results. (Not all search engines are the same.)

You can read more about Dogpile when you head on over to their site.

I want to do something different today as a preface to some other articles I want to write about traffic this week.

Today, I want to talk about the one factor that creates success, whether it is in increasing sales, increasing traffic, increasing conversions from existing traffic, and ultimately, any activity that’s going to make more money for you.

It’s such a simple thing that it seems self evident, and quite frankly, stupid, to name it.

But time and again, if I had to name the one trait that all my most successful peers have in common, it’s this. If I had to show how the best traffic students of mine have that their lesser peers don’t, it’s this.

Intelliscore Polyphonic WAV to MIDI Converter!

Say that three times fast with crackers in your mouth.

Intelliscore can convert MP3, WAV and WMA files to MIDI. It grabs music from CDs and converts it to a MID file. The application MIDI – enables any musical instrument, even your voice to be recorded. (I said your voice, not my voice.) It can remove vocals for karaoke singing – whoopie!

With additional software you can print sheet music from your favorite music, record MIDI directly into your sequencing software using your voice or any acoustical instrument. Intelli’s (my name for it) version 7.1 supports Vista.

Hey it can even generate cell phone ring-tones from your favorite music.  How about Revel’s Bolero!

You don’t need a Audi to get this one – just trying to be clever.

Here’s a taste from the Publisher’s Overview:  Comments in parenthesis are mine as well as the last sentence in the paragraph below.

Audio Converter  has lots of formats for conversion, including AIFF, Vorbis, OFF, MP3 and more.   You can convert files one by one or do them in batches (as others can do as well), all while editing options like volume normalization (that’s cool) and silence removal.   For only $19.95 it might make it to my Christmas list.

Give it a go.

Use All Converter to switch your files between popular formats like MP3, APE, AAC and many more. Files can be converted in batches, even if they’re not the same media or covert to type. Free to try; $29.95 to buy.

Despite its comprehensive title, this program only allows you to convert audio files among several formats, specifically MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG, VQF, APE and ACC files.

For each codec, you can set such file attributes as bit and sample rates, and support for VBR compression is a nice plus.

You won’t find a huge amount of features, but you may appreciate the ability to normalize tracks and to have the program automatically shut down your PC after the conversion process is complete.
