Free Traffic Tips: Traffic Thursday : Concept Conversion Pt 2

Okay, you’ve got a tracking system, and you have your pages prepared to test, now what?

For our example, I’m going to use the article that was recently republished on Site Pro News. Using this method, when I get published for free in a major publication like that, it’s as good as money in the bank. And they’ve been gracious enough to publish me five times just this year.
