Increase Your Unique Visitors And Hits

Eversince I started using this simple tool to make sense of my webpages,
my blogging activities are more enjoyable. Traffic increased over the last two months; it didn't jump but increased gradually.


I understand SEO but only at its minimum. This tool does it for me. All I need was to key in the dumb word I choose for my pages and it tells me if I am right or wrong. Plus I have only just started with the basic!


You just have to try this for yourself!

One of the features that I love, is that it will do an on-page SEO analysis of your webpages.

It's almost like having an SEO expert look at your webpage and tell you what you are doing right, and what you are doing wrong. And then give you solutions for improving your on-page SEO. Traffic Travis does all that.

Traffic Mastery

Traffic in internet marketing is a very popular and indeed famous topic. If you decide to specialize in discussing traffic in your blog, you will definitely gain lot and lots of knowledge in terms of SEO Tools (Search Engine Optimisation), Social Media Optimisation, Web Desigin, and even Article Marketing Tools.

You do not need to be an expert or even a guru, you just need to know how to work out how the bring in more and more readers to your sites. If your withstand focus, you will generate enough attention to even build a website just to blog about traffic.

This is exactly what Alvin Phang who discovered Atomic Blogging did. When I first met him, all I could gather from his workshop presentation is this, “Men! This guy knows a lot, but what! And his English is just well…..not that good.”

So I asked him if he would be kind enough to explain mechanisms of blogging rather than techniques of blogging, because the real secret in building your own business is not to understand technique (as this is as personal as the golf strokes of Tiger Woods, or forearm skills of Roger Federer). If you try to learn technique, at most you will be able to learn only 50%, analyse another 30%, emulate 10% and perfecting it at your own risk of time and money. I know, I have been there, so have many of us who try. So mechanics, learning how to fish, is better than to be given a fish and eat once right.

Eversince I have subscribed to Alvin, everything he has taught is helpful except for one. He will not help you build your website. He is very interested that you get traffic and make money with blogs, though I must say, you have to admit that this is not a grow rich quick scheme programme.

If you are new to internet marketing, and you don’t even know how to load your first post or ask permission to change your theme editor on wordpress (.php jargon), you need to accept the fact that once you start writing, you must continue posting even if you have started to earn yet.

With some simple techniques of blogging set by Alvin, I did manage to gain well over 100 readers within the first 4 months of work: all with just 6 live articles on Ezine, one social site – myBloglog, participation with Forum albeit only a few, and have Google adsense. At that time, I have not even discovered next2friends yet. You simply have to latch on to targeted information to the person you subscribe to if you want to see some results.

It took him 18 months to get to his comfortable peak at which he feels confident to speak publicly about his success. He is as many have described, a quiet achiever. Allow me to introduce Atomic Blogging formally here in Blog Pouch. The keyword research is just one of the updates Alvin has discovered.

Blogging: Art or Craft?

Blogging used to be about keeping a diary of our activities to share good knowledge or a journal. From my own readings, blogging has lost its artform. Bloggers used to feed the news with content because they are always on the scene. Now bloggers get a feed off the news.

It is about getting more affiliates to sign up and sell programmes, how to keep your ranking high on search engines, how to monetize your feeds or how to disguise yourself in forums to get your threads sticky. Quantity versus quality.

Nowadays, when you have nothing to say, you are taught to customize other people's articles and make it your own. Blogging is made into a craft not an art.

Choice of words are very important if not crucial to our blog's health. We are taught to watch out for keywords for the search engine to like your posts. So we turn our art of blogging into a craft to make the search engine work for us.

One can easily spot the difference between an artist and a craftsman. The artist learns to bridge the gap of love and friendship between himself and his readers over a period of time, whereas the craftsman can capture the attention of his reader albeit spontaneous. The artistic blogger spends a lot of time and little money; the crafty blogger spends more money and less time to get off the yellow brick road.

Landing pages no longer show any posts, but opt-ins, adsense and graphics. The content.....less then 500 words. Marketeers says internet users are becoming impatient and have no time to read, don't write too much. So a picture and caption can be considered a post to be 'read'. Ha! what;s that? Not every picture tells a story, you have to at least write a sentence or two! Wow! Britney Spears shaved her head! That;s a blog too!

From the wikipedia

A blog (an abridgment of the term web log) is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art, artlog ,sketchblog, videos, vlog, music. MP3 blog.audio, podcasting are part of a wider network of social media.

Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts. As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs.[1] With the advent of video blogging, the word blog has taken on an even looser meaning of any bit of media wherein the subject expresses his opinion or simply talks about something.

Is Blogging an Art or Craft. Help me understand.


.....mmm,,,,,i should use my designer pouch for this one,,,,,,,zip......oh wait,,,,,unzip,,,,,what is your view .........

My myBloglog Say

myBloglog is the first social website I joined. I have been enjoying my stay thorougly; these are my reasons.

First of all, the interface on myBloglog is easy, quick and userfriendly. You can join even if you do not have a website or are not planning to have one. It is all encompassing, idiot proof.

2nd, membership is free and you can easily browse other social contacts in one pageview.

3rd, you can access to member’s profile and website without any hassle.

4th, you can receive and send private messages which gives your perimeters to build around as you develop your social network.

5th, members can send mass messages to their communities at one click of the button.

6th, there is freedom of membership with other contacts; join or leave, add or remove. Very nice and no parties are hurt as you still have many left to work with if anyone leaves you.

7th, nobody likes to leave or remove you from their list because everybody wants the exposure. Bottom line, nobody loses, everybody wins.

8th, the numbers on your homepage encourages you: successful bloggers always talk about numbers – traffic, messages, subscriptions, incoming links, backlinks, - more the merrier. And myBloglog does an excellent job at telling you there is progress on your social networking. Even if you have 1 message today, it is coded red.

9th, it does not forget that you want to succeed. If a member follows you, it is noted, like this in your email (you need to activate email alert),


It is a wonderful feeling. If you want exposure, myBloglog delivers.

10th, myBloglog wants you to quit socialising after 15 messages. It sends you a friendly note, "go and enjoy the outdoors!". Before you have a pouch on your tummy, leave your seat and stretch out.

This is my personal recommendation:
In order to increase your presence in the social network, you need to focus on socializing not selling or marketing. Just because it is free and/or offers money, it is good. The social site may not be suitable for your purpose and personality as website builder. You need to keep working on the social site by adding, visiting and joining other communities. And as often as possible, be truthful and honest with your messages. Visit their websites and don't lie that you have. Remember your activities can be easily tracked; if you have visited, the website owner will know just by checking on his myBloglog stats or from tracking widgets on his websites. Take your time to send a genuine message, it is worth your while and you are making your contact happy.

Sucessful bloggers nowadays create blogsites on just one topic on blogger or other free blogs to increase their hit rate with search engines for their winning keywords. Look out for unpopular sites and you will be pleasantly surprised. The author can be the owner of the most creative and hot website in the internet. (Read RSS Alternatives below for research tips.)

If you do not enjoy your stay, consider subscribing to another social site because your absence does not make the hearts grow fonder on social sites. Help the members to decide to include you in their community. Promote yourself and tell them how you can become their good buddy.
