It’s a beautiful day where ever you are. You’re alive, you’re relatively healthy, you are reading this from a country that allows you to pursue the idea or the actual goal of running your own business, and you’re inside and dry.

I think back sometimes, to just a short while ago, I didn’t have all of these privileges, and was not on the road to living my life on my own terms. And even then, though I was struggling to push past go, just the journey itself was an education.

And I love to learn.

So today, though I haven’t reached the mountaintop as quickly as I’d like to, I’m still getting there, I still have the honor of being able to puruse that dream. And I can just feel it, ready to fold inside my fingers and languish happily.

Thank you all for being a part of that dream.

Okay, enough with my metaphysical ramblings - though I sincerely hope your day is going beautifully too - if it’s not, remember that sometimes it’s just a matter of perspective and attitude. 80% of our obstacles are self-imposed.

Which bring us to our topic of the day. It’s Traffic Thursdays round these parts. I’m trying to think of issues I haven’t covered - what are the ways you can get traffic to your site, and how do you get started? Of course, today, since it is Traffic Thursday, we’re not necessarily focused on just the free ways to do this.

In the past, talked about linking, free search engine listings, paid search engine listings, publishing articles, promoting your ezine as a way to market your site, using your RSS feed, traffic exchanges of all kinds (pop-under, manual, text links), a little about blogging (which we’ll come back to), just a bit about posting to forums.

One thing we haven’t talked about lately is how to convert the visitor once they arrive at your site. And I’ll have a tip on that in just a few minutes… stay tuned.
