The Technorati Favorites Exchange Program was first started by Dosh Dosh over a year ago. It has since been recognized as a good way for bloggers to increase not only a wider reader base but also provide greater exposure for their blogs.

Technorati Favorites Exchange Program-The Concept

The original intention of Dosh Dosh was to break into the Top 100 Most Favorited List, which seems like a task a lot easier to achieve than Technorati’s Top 100 Most Linked To blogs.By the way, Dosh Dosh achieved that and you can read up his ‘Final Traffic Report and Analysis’. As of today this list consists of just over 300 blogs. Although the reality is that many will not make this list, however you still get the benefit of increased number of “fans” who favorite your blog in Technorati which brings more targeted traffic to your blog.

Technorati Favorites Exchange Program-A Vote That Counts for Life

Unlike Technorati Authority which is calculated based on the increasing number of blogs linking to a website in the last six months, your Technorati Favorites Votes remain with you as long as you maintained your blog with Technorati. There are no variable factors to content with

What are the benefits of being favorited?

• It provides recognition of your blog’s popularity and will benefit you in your advertising, your  blog monetization efforts and generally any online business opportunities. Of course you still need to do your part to market your blog when this happens.

• It leads to increased blog readership. You are more likely to receive visitors from Technorati if you are listed in the Top 100 most favorited list. Needless to say this also translates to more feed subscribers provided of course that your blog has good quality contents.

Any wrong in doing this Favorite Exchange

This is ‘reciprocal favoriting’ if I can coin the term but don’t worry it’s not violating Technorati’s Terms of Service, so this is totally legitimate. You are also favoriting if I may say so, a very decent blog of mine and in your reciprocal linking with others, you may choose to accept or reject any request too.

Home Internet Business, attracting website traffic and more importantly sustaining it has to be one of your key business strategies. Needless to say, there are many ways to increase website traffic. You do need to uncover the best strategies of learning how to tap this traffic, hopefully a growing one at that, perhaps self-replicating stream and most importantly it should be free. This article provides some good ideas to increase blog traffic too.

(1)Search Engine Ranking

It is important for your Home Internet Business to ensure that your website is search engine friendly as this will certainly help grow your website traffic. Do ensure all the meta and alt tags are completed and there is a H1 header, optimizing the text for your chosen keywords. There are a number of sites which provide a “spider simulation” which shows you what your site looks like to a spider and what you can do to improve its [tag-ice]search engine ranking[/tag-ice]on the quality of your website is generated for your view and to take necessary steps for improvements.

(2) Directories

Directories are website listings and there are many to choose from. A good method to choose a reputable one would be to look for directories that have a good traffic rating, one that receives significant high volumes of website traffic (use Alexa). A few good examples to start this would be Yahoo and DMOZ.

(3) [tag-ice]Traffic Exchanges[/tag-ice]

Every website you view in a traffic exchange generates credits which are exchanged for views of your own site. Most Traffic Exchanges are free to join and they generate traffic for you almost instantly. There are basically two types of exchanges, manual surf and auto surf. The manual surf exchanges are preferred as they require the person to view and click the sites. The more sites you view the more people visit your website and the more your website traffic grows. To increase web traffic even further, join a few of them so as to generate more visitors, which can help in your page ranking too.

(4) [tag-ice]Article Writing[/tag-ice].

One of the most time consuming but effective methods of increasing search engine traffic. Most of these article directories offer this service free. Ensure that your article is optimized for keywords and that you include your website url bio line at the bottom of the article before you submit. Ezines, Magazines, Business Blogs, and webmasters are always on the lookout for good content to include in their articles as they are also in the quest for better search engine ranking.This method is very effective in getting one-way back links to your site or home business blog.

(5) Blogs

There are more than 10 blog platforms to choose from. High on this list are word press and blogspot. Ensure your blog is located on your site, and check that it links to your key pages and that you ping each time your blog is updated. Search engines favor sites with frequently changing, unique content so you will need to provide regular updates to your blog. A regularly updated blog will attract readers which in turn builds and increases [tag-tec]website traffic[/tag-tec].

(6) [tag-ice]Forum Marketing[/tag-ice]

Join a few good forums so that you can leave your URL in them. This will increase traffic in two ways. Firstly, people who read your posts are likely to click the link to checkout your site. Secondly search engines will generally accept the link which adds up to your link popularity. Another benefit of joining these forums is also to learn from other experienced and successful marketers. You’ll be surprised at their willingness to share their knowledge with you.

(7) [tag-ice]Viral Advertising[/tag-ice]

If you have an idea and you tell 10 people and they each tell 10 people and so on, by the time the idea goes through 10 levels it has been passed on to a million people.You can use this similar principle as your business marketing strategy too. If you produced a free report or ebook filled with links back to your site and gave it away, the chances are those you gave it away to would do the same thing. Your links would then multiply significantly over the Internet giving a viral effect and your website traffic will grow.

(8) [tag-ice]Reciprocal Links[/tag-ice]

They are also called [tag-tec]link exchange[/tag-tec] and link swapping. Webmasters hope that people will click on their link in other websites thereby generating website traffic. However, be selective in who you do reciprocal links with. Always ensure that your link partner is relevant to your business niche and preferably has good [tag-tec]Page Ranking[/tag-tec]. This strategy is one of the very best ways of generating free, targeted website traffic also is highly rated by search engines

(9) Classified Ads

Way before the web came along, if you wanted to advertise you would turn to the newspaper “classified” section. Classified ads didn’t die with the web, they just went online. One of the most popular classified sites is Craigslist.com. This can be a powerful tool for getting search engines to notice your site and send you traffic.

(10) [tag-ice]PPC Marketing[/tag-ice]

PPC stands for “Pay Per Click” and is very effective in bringing traffic to the website you are promoting. Google’s Adwords program is one of the most successful PPC engines. Essentially, you purchase ads from Google by writing an ad and bidding on keywords to determine how much you will pay when someone clicks your ad. This is a good and powerful tool to advertise your product or webpage to millions of people who access the Internet at very low bid.
