Traffic Slow Are You Having Trouble With Interactions?

Sometimes before you can see any one specific problem, you will have to break things down and apart, bust through the obstacles preventing you from seeing any problems that you have. Those that might be caused by your pride, ego, or inexperience.

If you’re finding it hard to get interaction from or (traffic) to, your Website/Blogs. There are a few questions you need to ask yourself.

Is your information accessible and mobilize? With more and more users searching via mobile devices and always on the go, do you offer this capability?

If you do not, users trying to find you may have hit a Stone wall, when they are out and about and on the go.

There’s nothing worse than trying to find your favorite websites, while on the road and finding out these sites only render from a certain or single venue/page and in a computer related format only and won’t load onto your cell phone, Ipad, and/or the next new device that is now mobile.

I am not talking from experience, just yet, because I have not taken these steps yet myself, but I plan to.

Is your Site/Blog is it properly optimized with keywords or tags, does your logo appear on all your pages, and your branding devices, along with your pen name?

Have you made it as easy for potential users and the search engines to find your content and their pages, do you have a Traffic Wheel?

Do you have a table of content or a TOC? Do you have your sitemaps up and working properly? That means using the correct keywords, linking them properly, making your site as crawl-able as possible for spiders, and staying away from the many common mistakes we newbies will and do make.

Sometimes before you can see any one specific problem you have. You need to break through the obstacles preventing you from seeing any problems at all, which might be caused by your pride, ego, or inexperience.

Seek others opinions, advice, and politely ask them for a review. Seek out a forum or a mentor to aid you in knowing what is hot and in the viewer's face, at any given point in time.

Personal Interaction, Do You Offer Any?

If you want to attract people, you have to give them more of you. You have to stand out from the crowd and show them something that they’ll want to see more of.

That is uniquely from you or how it is they can relate to you and your idea's, your site, and your methods. They may like the way you talk or write to them etc. etc.

Take a look at your own site. Does it have a great home page? If so, do not forget all the rest of its pages make sure they posses a nice clear, clean, and crisp Headline, make sure to keep to a format.

Remember Search Engines Don't send your viewers to only your home page but to the Tag or key word that brought up the association to begin with.

Do you use Sub Headlines with a slightly different size, color, and/or font? Do your links stand out or blend into that format? Do you have a short precise introduction paragraph? What are you showing your potential viewers/customers about your motives?

I don’t mean the ad graphics or the videos you choose to incorporate with your sites template. Do you even follow a template?

Can they experience what you are creating? Can they tell their still in your site when they click other links or did you send them to a new page and forget to tell them to hit the back button to return?

Are you using your site to set yourself apart, or do you come off like everyone else? Are you talking to viewers/customers in their own language or are you filling your pages up with buzzwords and technical jargon they do not yet understand?

The more powerful your differentiation is from the many others out there. Who can't create or relate to you and your style or what you have created, the better!

You’ll attract the right viewers/customers to yourself and your brand who will know others like you and themselves that want and desire your info, style, personality, flare, etc.etc.  ,.

If you’re finding it difficult still to attract viewer's, members, leads, Friends, followers, and so on, via your website/ blogs or landing pages (micro mini sites) It may be time to ask yourself some hard questions. But, before you can fix the problem, you first have to identify it.

Find all its quirks. What are some of the problems you’ve had, in the past attracting new leads? How have you fixed those problems? Do others you know and network with talk about these same problems? How did they solve them, have you done a search on them?

Customers Do Not Head to your Sites to Hear How Awesome You Are

They’re there because they have a problem they need you to fix or a question they need you to answer or they share a common Hobby or Dream of yours.

Your website should be designed to help them quickly achieve whatever it is they came for. Too many references of “you, and only you” or too, too much sales talk will turn them cold.

Instead offer more helpful information, and address their concerns or fears and the ones you have had and have worked through. Tell them why and what it is you are working for ie. Your wants/ and or desires.

This sharing will turn people's interest on instead of off or away. Your viewers /customers don’t care about you in most cases at first. All they care about initially is how it is you can help them.

Other things you must seek out and learn about are listed below in no certain order.

Getting Started make a plan and plot it out.

Choosing a Niche make it something you love, anything at all will work If, you love it.

Domain Names remember they will reflect you and what it is you do.

Blogging Platforms have several at least three.

Themes and Organization you'll need them.

Pages, Posts, and Widgets get it together learn from the best and keep learning.

Images, videos, and other Media, visual media it works!

Comments and Discussion/ Interaction

Headlines, Sub headlines and Content Creation Create, Create, Create!

SEO (search engine optimization) it's a must to learn from the best.

Post Lengths and Posting Frequency

Blog promotion, Social Media, Social Networking learn to use them and get involved

Guest Blogging do you allow this or do you want full control of the provided Information?

Sitemaps for your site and for your blogs.  Search Engines love sitemaps.

Privacy Policy people want to know this stuff and so will your Partners and Affiliates.

Now Can you be found?

Pen Names

Real name! Do you dare?

Reputation do you have any?

Are you reachable and approachable by email, by snail mail address, and/ or  by phone?

Are you willing to interact?

Is there a conversation path in place? And is it a one way or a two way stream? Do you have a FAQ Page?

Viewer's /customers don’t head to your site to hear how awesome you are. They come there because they have a problem, or an interest they need you to elaborate on, or a problem you know how to fix, or a question they need you to answer.

Many websites do not have a clear conversation path for their customers. If you want customers to take a certain action, you need to create a re pore with them. That lets them know how you intend to guide them. And that you are willing to do just that.

Simply stringing together a number of content pages won’t necessarily put someone on the path that you intend for them to take. The path may be a simple landing page, paired with a call to action, or as complex as a micro-niche site or as an expansive website.

Either way, you are in charge of designing the flow of your website. Creating a clear path not only helps customers feel more comfortable on your site, it also gives you a clear data system to track with, so that you can see where people are abandoning your site, where they’re engaging it or enter into it and from where, etc. etc.

The more data you have to act on, the better you can design your site to attract new viewers/customers.

My Version of a Traffic Wheel, I Use It for Traffic Control and Direction

My Version of a Traffic Wheel, I Use It for Traffic Control and Direction

So you want to earn an income on the World Wide Web or the Inter-Net? Well you are going to need TRAFFIC and lots of it! Do you want to see how I get mine?

The Wheel was an Early Invention, and it is Still One of the Best That is out Here Today

Link Wheel or Traffic Wheel

The wheel you say how do you use a wheel in marketing and sells? Marketeers have been using all kinds of devices since the beginning of time. How does one con or persuade someone into doing things his way? Simple, that is to Keep it Simple for them. I remember it this way K.I.S.S. Kept It Simple Stupid!

Hey I am just telling it as it is or how I see it. The simpler the better don't shoot the messenger please! The Internet, Is very, very large already and it grows every day. This is the reasoning behind Indexing Sites, Book Marketing Sites, and along with Social Networking Sites.

The job of these Sites is to map out and keep open this vast and expanding electronic Galaxy we all know as the World Wide Web and these Sites create the Communities, Cities, Countries, and then Nations etc, etc. and they do this with the electronic pathways created by the traffic. 

Which was created by the viewers. Just as any Country, State, and/or Nation does it forms an infrastructure. So things can be found and gotten to as easily and as safe as possible.

Just like Lewis and Clark mapped the west, for the settlers that came after them. These sites are mapping, clearing and declaring safe and passable pathways through and around the World Wide Web.

The other Sites that are helping and aiding in the creation of this infrastructure and/ or mapping are the Ranking Sites, Search Engines and Term Definition Sites, Yellow Pages, directories, and on and on.

Wait a minute Mapping, Why? Doesn't everyone have an Address? Don't they know where they are located? Can't they be found by their Address?

Yes if you can find a particular sites' Web Address "IF", you can enter it and then you will magically Star Gate jump straight to them as if they were standing right next to you. Yes this is cool, but do you know that Address?

How could you if you have never even seen it, heard of It, and/ or know that you are looking for it and they you? You have heard of the yellow pages, the white pages and there are some indexes around. But why not the Internet Pages?

Well I believe there is just too much information to compile, sort, define, and keep straight. The Site that would contain this information would have endless listings, let alone room for descriptions of what the site is, who owns it, and what it does.

All the info is there, out there some where in Cyberspace and they can get it, when and if, it needs to be found, it can be found, but it isn't that easy without the web sites address or the page address. This is why linking is so important it allows your visitors that Star Gate jump back to you and to your sites and pages.

A Traffic Wheel What it is and What it Does

Simple Text Links

A simple Wheel is nothing more than a group of links about you and your sites it gives your reader the map to find their way back to you whenever they want to. Its your job to make them want too.

The wheel is accomplished by the use of your Profile pages, your Badges, Widgets, Sites Web Address or a link to one of these sites pages that you provide. Also Avatars and Pen name signatures, and brands will work or improve these other devices.

Gravatar.com is an excellent place to start and collect and store your personal sites and their addresses be they Social Networks, Book Markers, Indexers, and Photo Sites, etc.etc. if it has a page address you can link it.

If you link it, link it again, don't bounce them back from where they came or the site they came from. The first new link on your wheel or list should bounce them forward and onward to the next site of the Top Ten or one of your pages in or on these Top Ten the visitor must be in control or at least feel he is in control.

If you were directed to my Blogger site you would see a Triond widget, a Facebook Badge, a Hubpages Widget, and other text links in the post themselves as well as in the sidebar. 

My Website contains these as well as every Index and bookmarking site that I have joined I link as many as I can on my profile pages and in my blog post, poems and writes and their links.

Once someone has found you, you want them to be able to find you again RSS feeds, addthis buttons, and other little devices you can get for free because this increases their presents on the World Wide Web as well as it does yours.

All roads lead to home, is your new Mantra! Always hint or ask the reader or visitor to Bookmark you or give them a gentle reminder too. 

But not you personally rather the page they linked onto, where you are neatly located and sitting just waiting to be found by them again, and again.

Tweet your web addresses with a little message or if in a mass post just the address with the other posts.

A Little More Defining of the Traffic Wheel

Icon Link or Logo Link

The Wheel of Traffic is becoming your own personal stream. If you can hold the viewer's attentions. By knowing who the Top Ten are. 

You then can now join them and build a following or a presents at them. And than by linking to them, your visitors never have to actually leave you behind, he keeps linking to one site of yours to the next site of yours or a page where you can be found.

You basically are being where he wants to go and as long as you are there, you can provide the link that will take him to where he wants to go. 

Instead of several clicks or typing a web address he is making one or two clicks to the same site he was headed to, to begin with, because you provided it for him.

Once they figure this out they'll keep using these links. Linking to the next one of these Top Ten sites and letting him decide where he wants to go on from your site. 

Your Links are like a trolley car or a ready and available taxi, your links are there waiting to move the visitor along to his next destination at his request. But allows you to stay in sight.

Show Me How to Create My Wheel Please!

Screenshot of Opera Speed Dial

Well websites are just like automobiles, there are many wheels to go on them, the simplest is a text link, and then you can use provided Badges, Widgets, or TOC's and banners and buttons. I try to mix them all up.

But I am in the process of creating an actual wheel with the many buttons available as soon as I can figure out how to make it all work as one piece or unit. I have over twenty-five sites that I visit daily. So this is going to require some programming skills which I don't have at the present, to make what I want to use. So for now I use Text links, Badges, buttons, TOC's and widgets for the time being.

Okay here is how it's done. Let's say you have profiles on Five of the Top Ten sites.

1, 2, 3, 4,& 5 so You will pick one of these to be the hub of your wheel or a starting platform lets use # 1 as our hub for this example and then start linking them together site one with sites 2,3,4,5 and site two with 1,3,4,5 site three with 4,5,1,2 site four with 5,1,2,3 now the more sites you have the more links you'll need to provide on your pages basically you will eliminate the site they are linking from as seen above.

You have these profiles on all five Sites now, so now place them in your sidebars, in your blogs, and in your rollers like Facebook and Myspace you have little areas dedicated for text information. You place these profiles in or on or near by these current Profiles.

By providing a linked profile page of your Facebook or Myspace as a wet or dry link working or not working, if they are dry not working all the visitor has to do is copy and paste it into their browser's title bar or web address box and click refresh or reload it into blank web page's title bar as some browsers will automatically reload the last address on the current page.

Now I do not openly tell my visitors about these links or tell them to use them. They will naturally gravitate to these links because of ease of use, it is better if they think they are in control.

But, even if it takes them awhile to start using these links that you give them, it still provides ease of movement between your sites for you. And it will take you and them where you both want to go. I can breeze through my sites in twenty-five clicks and never have to type an address or find a button off the current page that I am on.

I got this Idea from Opera's Speed Dial Application, which I love because I am very visually learned or trained because of my learning disabilities. I use this Browser to open all my sites so I can traverse freely when working.

I have two Machines currently. A Laptop and a Desk top, I keep one always open with Opera and the other with Firefox, Konqueror, or Windows.

This helps me because I now can see what's on a particular page as I am creating or correcting another or same page. This gives be a better Idea of where I think the viewer will want to go also. and what my pages will look like in other Browsers.

By the way eBay is where I got the desktop, I won it for $69.00 and Got a Opensuse 11.3 Operating system for .99 Cents plus shipping. So I love e-bay too. I hope this helps you in some way to develop more traffic for your writes.

Promote, Promote, Promote! Where, When, and How?

My original thought was to make this a round instead of a rectangle. But I could not easily place it in the right or left hand corner as well as the center position.

Plus I want to make sizable and transparent. And I want to improve upon the  image as well. Maybe adding Color?

I still need to improve upon it as I intended to keep It as PW&OSfStSM's  Company Logo. It will need to be down sized to a 150x190px. It is currently 351x490px.

"Hooked on Our Saviour's Cross" by Donald Beres Jr. March 3rd 2012 
  My First attempt at rendering a Company Logo.

My Amazon Author's Page

Learn from those who have learned, watch the Top Ten! Pay attention copy their steps, do as they are doing it now! Check all the information on your sites and pages that you can! Schedule your postings, spread them around, make them clickable.

Stop Watching the Pot and Start Cooking!

Promoting, How to Do This and Where to Do It.

Well I've only really started doing this steady and hard since the 3rd of July 2010, but I have been playing around and recording information since 2001. I knew Twitter was going to be big when I first saw it come on the scene.

And I kinda thought Facebook would fare well, but not as well as it has. Youtube was and still is a big hit. I wish I still had all my video camera's and sound equipment.

Not that you need all that much to get up and running any more, a good microphone and a high quality web camera can and will get you up and running in no time or just join and use other Youtuber's videos, but first get their permission if, they are not public domain videos.

Why Promote? Well here at wikinut I have been running my own little tests to see what happens when I do post and when I don't. Say when I post at Twitter and then at Facebook and then at Myspace. Now mind you these are only my tests, for my pages! I am only using content here at wikinut and using my sites alone for these tests.

I must say they are not all equal in numbers or followers. My biggest account is with Facebook, then Twitter, then Myspace. 932 followers, 764 followers, and then a measly 14 friends. So the tests are not fair in any sense of the word, but they do give me an idea what happens here at wikinut when I post and when I do not post on them.

Also I am talking about only my wikinut postings, and not others postings here at wikinut as each writer will have a different number of factors that could or would change the results. We here at wikinut have the advantage of the use of our stats, a great tool stats, if you know how to use them. I would suggest if you don't know you learn quickly.

If nothing else view them every time you log in, they will start to paint you a picture. Now my tests are in no way set up to be say, a test that a true company would design and use to rank with. But they give me the simply truth in that the Numbers do not lie. No matter where or how much of my content I post the views change greatly.

Now I have to take in account that wikinut and all of us here cause and organic increase in numbers with every new posting, because we are nosy and want to see who is posting what, it is just the nature of the machine. The more followers we have and interact with here, drives more traffic. Traffic within in and without our closed community. But with that in mind the numbers just do not lie!

Once You Start You Can Never Stop!

The Wave and the Roll, after you have reached a threshold this begins to accrue naturally.

The wave or the roll is cause by content that is already created and is being viewed or reviewed. Now this happens more frequently with linked pages, versus unlinked pages for this reason alone if the viewer likes the first write or just because their nosy, I think it's the latter myself, but it doesn't matter. LOL a little poet humor there, but the outcome is the same, for the numbers are only telling us, the viewer-ship of the works and not the actual length of time of the visit at these works.

If you post on a regular schedule you will cause a wave, especially when your content is linked to your other content or to others content, that is linked with your content. The wave is the bottom line in the graph, it is registering your clicks on the ads on your page. The roll is the top line which depicts the views or click through.

Now it has to be a logical link, it can't be nonsensical, otherwise the viewer will stop viewing the links, because they become annoyed by them, it is just that simple. The wave is what eventually will earn your income or drive it, but how do you drive the wave or the roll?

By linking and promoting like content. Now if you have works outside of wikinut.com you should always link them back to wikinut.com IF, I said your roll numbers are driving you to create and they should be as soon as your stats, they start falling.

Only with Like content or Brand New content, and your links to them leading out and back in, are you going to see an increase in your waves. This linkings should never happen at random, otherwise the Viewers will stop clicking and leave! They don't, I repeat don't like boxes or traps! Even if they don't know that this is what it is. A random link that has no reasoning to be linked with this current page is a trap or a box!

So never create a link that has little or nothing to do with your site or your pages. A link for no reason or with no reasoning will stop a viewer dead in his tracks. Now there are always exceptions to the rule! If you're comparing or promoting another of your websites or pages, but always give a little message to the viewer so they aren't deaf and blind to the reason you are sending them this particular link.

Which has nothing to do with this particular topic, site, or page they're currently on or at. I.E. of a little message for unrelated content links "Other works by this Author", "My other sites", "If you like this you should try this" etc, etc.

Links are a natural pathway builder, which will drive views, which is the roll and the clicks that come because of the views, is the wave. When done correctly remember like content, or same Author, or same subject, or self promoting your other sites.

Because I know for a fact, if the link doesn't have something to do with the former page. I am done clicking and I am not staying! UNless! By chance it has something I am also interested in. And this is rarely the case so, I become annoyed, as will these other viewers, for our time is precious to us!

You Have to Find the Mentor Just Above You To Grow!

Twitter and Facebook, Posting and Promoting

my Graph from July 9th till

These two Sites drive views like no other, no doubt about it at all! From all my tests. From 32 views twice a week to 1200 views after just 8 to 12 hours of posting them at one or the other or both of Twitter and Facebook. Now I know this shouldn't be the case, but for reasons unbeknownst to me, it seems to always be the case.

After a simple stream of posts on these two especially. It is as if, these posts were brand new to the viewers. Because they have all been posted before, but still not everyone has seen them. As a matter of fact it is likely many haven't seen them.

Because of the rotations of the walls and rollers, or the time of day. The new is piled upon the old. So you need to keep this in mind most people do not look at the older postings on these sites, as they are just too active and busy being added too.

Facebook is less tolerant than Twitter is with your postings. You may get a spamming warning or a complaint from a follower on Facebook, but seldom on Twitter.

So I went and got a fan page on Facebook, but the Fan page still posts to my home page's wall, everything I post to it, but yet, I get no complaints or warnings from the fan page postings, from Facebook or my followers, but still I only post on Monday mornings about 3:30 am Until I have posted all of my wikinut or my Triond works, along with some of my Clickbank

e-books or other products.

And then again on Wednesday early morning, all of the other publishers works in a lump or all of them from 3:30 am till they are all posted.

I also will post some of my new works from Hubpages now and Poetrysoup and any new income stream or potential income stream, just to see if and how they react or drive my traffic here at wikinut.com.

Somebody Come and Play! Earn as You Learn and Grow as You Go!

I don't need to run any more test for myself now. I now know If I schedule my posting of my new works with a few related links, I will cause my roll and waves to grow in size and in frequency. If I use my other works from my other publishers, I will grow traffic streams and pathways. To all the locations were my works are and can be seen.

Bookmarkers Digg, Stumbleupon, Reddit and the Many Others.

I also use these sites they are very good at getting Like content out and noticed! But you must work your membership at these sites and find those who are looking for your niche or style of writing. Mine was mostly poetry and still is, but it is also of a Religious nature and I guess.

And now a Political nature even though I am not at all that political, I think anyways, but only time will tell. Hot subjects and trends and pleasurable things are great traffic builders, but they lose their value overnight. That is my opinion and we all have at least one.

Also if you are striving to build your income streams, you must have other streams, the more you have the steadier the flow will become. If you are using PayPal to collect this will become more apparent.

If you are using companies with threshold payments it will take some time to see your increases. I have made over 15.00$ US so far, but have only collected .70 cents. So don't give up this is the way it works for most of us. Until we can get all the pieces working in unison like a well oiled machine.

I have stated on my website that this Pay Per Click Publishing business is not for the lazy at heart or of any other kind of laziness. It requires steady work, not hard work, but steady and continual additions.

Always re-read and go over your works find the incorrect phrasings, the misspellings, and unclear ideas. Then enhance them if you can, link them to your other works here at wikinut.com and your other Publishers.

Keep your works on top of the new heaps, or on top of all the other new content added daily by making them the very best you can.

Because they will work as long as they are posted. Great record keepers should fare well with this kind of work, as long as they can create. And great creators should fare very well, as long as they can keep great records and schedules.

So on and on it goes. Make your plan and believe me, you need one, it needs to be mapped out! What it is you will do and how you will do it, to make it a reality.

Get a picture in your mind and don't let it out of your sight! Keep doing it, till it happens! It will happen if you grow as you go.
