We all know that without traffic, your Internet business will do nothing. Backlinks, acting like large roadside signs pointing to your blog, will direct new visitors to your blog and give your blog the needed exposure. I will discuss three ways to get backlinks pointing to your blogs.

Submit your blog post to social directories - This will quickly get backlinks to your blog. when done properly, a submission to Stumble Upon and Digg will create many backlinks and huge amounts of traffic.

Article marketing - Article marketing is still a great way to create traffic and back links to your website and for the most part is free. Just make sure your author bio box is well written and includes links to your blog. This is what gets the links to your blog as most article submission sites don't allow direct links. If they do then link away in the article also.

Post comments - A very effective and easy way to create backlinks is to comment on blogs that are related to yours. If people like your comment, they will most likely go to your blog to read more of your material. One great way to create back links is Posting comments in other people's blogs. Every time you post you are able to include your name and your website address in some comments. Try to include your primary keyword in the name if you can.

These are three ways to get backlinks to your blog. None of them are hard and they don't take a long time to do. Once you start doing them regularly, it will become second nature to you, just like watching all the traffic coming to your blog. I hope this helps you in your endeavor to make money on line and improve your Internet business and blog.

It's truly shocking to see the writing/marketing strategies of thousands of affiliate oriented blogs on the blogsphere. Thousands of websites are based around 20 or so static pages, and those pages are the driving force of the website - the whole shebang. Those pages include the affiliate programs, the sales, the tools - everything.

These websites are typically based on unique traffic rather than loyal, daily return traffic. For example, if you are selling a plugin for SEO, you only need to sell it once. Of course, there's a chance that returning visitors who didn't buy it the first time might buy it - but statistically, it would be best to have new or "mostly new" traffic.

Yet there seems to also be a strange draw to "blogging", or writing miscellaneous posts on the topic of the website. This strategy doesn't typically work. Most blogs, even if they have "pretty good" content, never have thousands of subscribers. Yet the bloggers keep on pumping out blog posts in the attempt to increase traffic.

Rather than writing these posts and articles for their own site, they could be drumming up traffic and Google juice by not blogging. Sometimes the best place to blog is somewhere besides your own website.

Don't Lose Focus

Remember that your website must have a business plan - a focus - a point of consideration. This goal is the entire point of your website. If your blogging helps achieve this in the most efficient way possible, then go a head and keep blogging. But always entertain the idea that blogging isn't justified.

For example, if you are targeting search engine traffic especially, and are getting no search engine traffic at all, your number one priority should be SEO. If the package that you earn your income from is based on raw new visitors, the fact that this is important can't be overstated.

If you base your website on an affiliate program, or a store, or the like - every secondary in come is just that: secondary. Have a focus for your website, and unleash the revenue. Diversity is fantastic, but sometimes it pays off to literally put all of your eggs in one basket.

Buyers > Traffic

Unfortunately, it's easy to get wrapped up in the "stats" of our website, and to completely miss the fact that our purpose isn't to have a million hits, but is to have a million conversions. Making money online isn't just about how to increase traffic - it's about getting money. If I can make $75 per 100 unique visitors, that's a heck of a lot better than making $10 with 5,000 loyal subscribers. Sometimes selling a product makes more than AdSense or AdBrite or any other small fish income source.

Again, I'm not saying that subscribers aren't important - every page on my websites ends with a request for a subscription. You just have to keep it all in focus when establishing your business plan.

Just note that it's not just about creating a high-trafficked website. It's about creating a highly profitable website. If you have to choose between getting non-buying repeat traffic with daily blog-posts and unique visitors who have a high conversion rate, go with the latter. Of course, the perfect mixture would be 100% of both.

Get Those Links

You don't necessarily have to choose between buyers and repeat visitors, of course. My website is geared towards getting first-time buyers, and then attempting to keep them as subscribers. But I don't blog daily. I blog weekly, at best. I find that a weekly "fantastic" post "converts" my traffic into subscribers at a higher rate than daily "okay" posts.

But take a step back and consider how much energy you spend writing your blog posts. Imagine if you could write two "okay" or "good" blog-posts a day - now imagine if you could convert those into 10+ links of your choice on another website.

Pretty snazzy, isn't it?

You certainly can. Take your "okay" posts, and turn them into submissions for article directories. Add a link to your website with any anchor text that is relevant to your website. Now you post less on your blog - but only keep your best posts for your blog. This means you get the best of both worlds.

Not only is all of your content for your blog way above average, meaning a higher "subscriber conversion" rate, you also get plenty of free links from submitting to article directories and the like. The possibilities are limitless. Between article distribution services and guest posting, you can gain an a huge advantage with Google juice by ... not blogging. At least not on your blog.

This means that rather than having people go to your website every day to read your "okay" blog posts, you'll now have a link-building campaign that might take months, or longer - but you'll feel the positive impact later on with new search engine traffic. This means you have more of a chance of selling your product, meaning more money.

So blog less on your blog. Turn your "would-be-okay-posts" into links by submitting them to article directories. Get targeted unique traffic, and sell your product.
