I only released the short giveaway report, The Backfiring Strategies, on Monday actually unannounced and received some great reviews. Quite a few people also asked me the same darn question, What’s the Catch Here? Frankly I was left stunned. That never happened to me more than occasionally in past releases. The quantity of such responses in less than 12 hours this time was mindboggling at least to me. Again it wasn’t a publicized release.

The Backfiring Strategies
The idea is what the concept of this site and my Internet Marketing Quick Tips With Rich podcast are about. It is simply getting information you can use in you own marketing strategies to you. It’s a simple technique you succeed I (we) succeed. I come from the Ed Dale-Jeff Johnson-Brad Fallon-Andy Jenkins-Don Crowther School of marketing (Try fitting that on a letterhead) You have to keep in mind the online market is forever changing. What worked yesterday probably won’t work tomorrow. Sharing trends and customer feedback it a way to grow all our businesses.
.
About those trends
I did receive a few responses that said they were seeing slight or no such in a few of the trends mentioned as of yet. Conversely, a number of people indicated they had just started to split test for these problems. The report is not about answers. It’s about alerting you to realize you have start looking for answers now. Success doesn’t come from following the trends alone. It comes from finding what works today and searching for what may work tomorrow. If you find a trend you think you are going to forever weigh anchor with, chances are you are going to wind up dead in the water and lost at sea.

Happy Sales to you!

Hello Tonya here
The linking game is an an essential to your traffic attracting strategy. There are tons of linking theories where people will tell you and sell you as the definitive answer. The real definitive answer to any claims of the “ultimate linking” or “ultimate traffic getting strategy” is that there is no such thing. As proof, Jeff Johnson offers a free version of his “Traffic getting Wordpress blog plugin”. The plugin has been upgraded three times in the past two months. (You do have this plugin right? If not click here it’s free, it works, and you need to have it, so check it now!)
Why there are no definitive strategies
Google never plays kiss and tell. To make matters more complicated their master plan is constantly changing and the whole linking and traffic game is fluid. It’s kind of like the saying, “Just when I though I had all the answers, they changed the questions.” Google prides itself in keeping everyone a step behind.
The answer
Try different strategies. Even smarter is to apply different strategies within the same site. Avoid being set in your ways. Never give into the next highly touted “ultimate shortcut” theory. And finally don’t be afraid to go occasionally through in a little gray and black hat. A key to testing is to create free blog sites independent of you main cluster. You do this through your offshore email accounts as I like to call them and don’t ever connect them in anyway to you or your money sites even remotely. The rewards are worth the effort. Just as an aside one such site accidentally began to generate a profit for us and had to be taken mainstream. In turn it was flipped for a nice little sum. How disappointed can you be about generating an income by mistake? (Sorry, we won’t kiss and tell…at least about that one)
The money tip
Follow a successful set of specific Internet Marketing Gurus both by email and through Twitter. The great way is to set up a separate Twitter and email account for just that. You then only have to check them once a day. Don’t use those accounts for anything else and you will be virtually spam free. If you have business relationship with them conduct that in your normal email account only.
Comeback to get more on linking and traffic. You’ll be glad you did.
