Got your own blog?

How does a Rushhhhhh of highly targeted visitors sound?

http://BlogRushh.com

I’ve been blogging for over two years, I’ve setup 13 blogs using everything from Movable Type, Typepad, Blogger, WordPress and a few other less recognizable solutions.

I currently run and operate 3 large blogs in various different niche markets (not including this one).

…And folks… history is being made today!

Having spent the better half of this year installing and testing blog widgets (close to 60+ to be more precise), my team and I have found that there are a few invaluable widgets that every blog should have. (I’ll post and update with a few more later)

But with as many cool tools, gadgets and widgets you can install and plug into your blog, I’ve not seen one that even comes close to bringing traffic to your site.

Sure there might be a few that will bring a trickle, and the ideas sounded good, but after testing them, it wasn’t enough to keep using them as they just take up space on your Nav Bar.

Today this changes…

My good friend John Reese has just released the beta for a new service called BlogRushh.

The simplicity and design of this new blog widget (which takes less than 5 minutes to install on your blog) is going to shake up the blogosphere and set a new bench mark for the entire industry.

He’s got an awesome little video clip that explains everything, so go check it out.

Segovia here with a quick update and a few tips on the latest in web technologies.

You’ve no doubt either heard about or attended either a Webinar or Webcast, but can you explain what the difference between the two is?

Simply put…

A Webinar is something you can logon via your web browser or special client side software application and actually view either a Power Point presentation, and HTML Slide Show or even someone else’s computer screen so you can watch over their shoulder as they work.

On the other hand, a Webcast is where you can either dial into a direct phone or listen online via a live streaming web technology (usually done with Flash Media, Window Media or RealPlayer).

Both are very effective and have their purpose in many different instances.

And finally you have your good old fashion Teleseminar (yah right, that’s old fashion only in Internet years , either way Teleseminar Marketing is more powerful and more reliable than both.

QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT!

1) I wanted to make sure you are aware of our “Daily Call Calendar” where we list upcoming Webinars, Webcasts, and Teleseminars all in one convenient location for you to browse and select the topics relevant to your learning curve.

PS. I’m still working getting the reviews and training video together that I talked about in a previous post. But they’re on their way!

First off, I needed to get your attention with a shocking headline, so if you are reading this then it worked.

Second, I hope you are enjoying the last few hours of your memorial day weekend…

Now to the importance of my SUBJECT LINE:

Have you ever gone a day without food?

How about a week?

…or even a Month?

I can barely imagine how miserable it would be have these feelings of REAL HUNGER that just never go away!

The sad part is, unfortunately, millions of children experience this exact pain, right now and every day.

Many of who go to sleep at night and never wake up….

But YOU can help us change this, TODAY!

An associate of mine, Stephen Pierce, has just launched an amazing fundraiser…

* His goal is to feed over
* 1,000,000 million children
* Within 72 HOURS from now!
* And I want to help him do it.

So, let’s ban together and spread the word to help feed over 1,000,000 children that need our help.

Here’s what I need you to do:

1. Visit this site: http://ForAGreaterCause.org

2. Download the Stephen’s “Success Report”, which will by itself donate a plate of food on your behalf — even if you don’t have a penny of your own money to give.

3. (*Optional*) Donate any amount that you can afford, without sacrificing the well being of yourself or your own family. Remember that every dollar helps.

* You get a TON of ebooks, audios, videos, and special reports when you donate.

4. Spread the word! Email your ezine lists, post about this on your blog, and feed children that need our help!

A HUGE “Thank You” in advance for any help you can offer this amazing cause.

To World Health,
Segovia Smith

PS. I just received an email from Stephen’s incredible wife Alicia who’s in charge of this project and she said they are only $9,500 short of meeting their goal with only 7 hours left.

It’s incredible how the physiology of web traffic conversion is getting more and more sophisticated every year.

I just watched this super exciting video that explains how you can actually track the eyeball movements of your visitors on your web site.

Why would anyone want to do such a thing?

Simple, if you know where their eyes gravitate to first, you can work on better optimizing those positions on your page, which will ultimately help you keep the visitor on your site longer and encourage them to click on something, leading to either an opt-in or better yet a sale.

This video, also went on to explain how you can track your visitors buying behaviours by time line to see how long it takes them to purchase from you.

It’s amazing when you see that some of your visitors don’t make a purchase until 3-9 months after they first visited you (let’s say from your Google Adwords campaign).

Finally, it went on to further outline how in many cases without even knowing it, even experienced Adwords professionals don’t know what they’re talking about.

They exposed a few Adwords techniques that I wasn’t aware of and am 99.98% certain that after implementing these 2 simple strategies I just learned, I’ll more than quadruple my Adwords CTR (Click Through Rate) and give my ROI (Return on Investment) a huge boost.

So enough about what you’re about to learn and let’s get on with it…

Watch this exclusive “Eye Popping” training video now (no pun intended .

Good Sales,
Segovia Smith

What I’m about to tell you is rated ‘R’…

…for Results!

Today is a very special day…

Before I get into the details I need to make a confession… I didn’t attend Armand Morin’s Big Seminar last weekend in Atlanta.I know, it’s sad but true! ;-(

I’ve been to five of the previous 6 events over the years, but I had to miss out on this one. (I’ll make my point in a moment.)

As a matter of fact I haven’t attended any live events in over 6 months. (This is rare as I’ve been on the circuit for years and averaged 1-2 events per month.)

The next thing you should know, in case you didn’t already know this about me, I have a special custom piece of software I developed a few years ago that actually allows me to listen to an MP3 or Podcast audio file at “Break-Neck Speed” (that’s about 400-500% above the normal speed in case you were wondering.)

And finally, this one trumps them all…

I’ve been feverishly spending my time on the front page of Google with a smile from ear to ear. (keep reading and it’ll all make sense)…

Okay…

Where to start…

Well, about 6 months ago, I kept getting emails with a bunch of hype about this StomperNet Club for SEO’s (Search Engine Optimizer’s). I swear I must have received at least 12 different emails from different Guru’s (most of which I call friends now

But, with every email I got, it made me more and more frustrated.

You see back in the day (I’m talking 1998), when I was working as a hired gun to put other peoples business on the Internet Map (and not my own).

I used to be great at SEO, the tricks of the trade were fairly basic, hell, you could even put the word you wanted to be ranked for on your site 100 times and viola - you’d be #1 within a few days.

Yahoo hadn’t bought out Overture.com yet (actually I think it was called GoTo.com back then), but anyway you get the idea.

Then one day things changed for me and I was working with different clients and using different strategies to make money online. My new focus became PPC (Pay-Per-Click), and I killed that one for years building up numerous million dollar web sites.

Bet you can guess what happened…

Yup~! The search engines changed their algorithms and all my SEO tricks went out the window.

For years I swore I would never do SEO again because you would have to become a mad scientist just be able to keep up with Google and the rest of the top tier engines.

Now…

Back to the Stomper Network, when I saw how much they were asking for their monthly membership I almost fell off my seat. (more…)

Shhhh…

I’m not supposed to be telling you this, but let me explain…

I want to talk about a few things that most people either just won’t admit to, or at least it’s “Mums the Word” because of the somewhat uncomfortable situations.

You know how there are times when you need cash, not next month, not even next week, you need it right away… for things like:

• A Harassing Creditor
• An Unpaid Phone Bill
• An Unexpected Bind
• That Special Occasion
• Or that new Internet training program you’ve just gotta have!

I’m talking about things you need to take care of it immediately!

I know things can happen that are totally unexpected. Hey whether anyone likes to admit it or not, it happens to everyone!

And the last thing you want to do is ask friends or family to bail you out.

As a follow-up from my previous Tag Cloud post I’ve been on the hunt for some scripts or code I could either use or modify to add a tag cloud to this blog and a few of my other sites. Most of the scripts are either overly complicated, too simple without enough features or they cost money.

Being such a big fan of $FREE things, I kept looking. And of course with enough time spent on searching the web you can find almost anything.

I found a great little tool that requires no installation of databases or php scripts. It takes less than 5 minutes to put on your site and it’s very customizable. I was able to change the style sheet to match the blue tones of our site and then simply post few lines of code on my Menu Nav Bar page and viola… we have a Tag Cloud.

If you scroll down the page on the right hand menu below the Search Box and Bookmarklets, you’ll notice it.

You can manage your account from their web interface and create as many clouds as you like.

The service integrates beautifully with your blog you only need to input your main RSS feed and then it pulls down all the blog posts, counts up the words and sorts them into cloud formation.

To create your own Tag Cloud go check out ZoomClouds free service.

Just wanted to shout out a special notice to let everyone know that we have now updated the blog with a link exchange directory.

What is a link exchange directory you ask? Good question…

One of the more popular SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques that are used by many top marketers is to exchange links. This means that you “Swap Links” with some other site (like this one).

So you would post a link to our site (MyFirstDollar) and then we would return the favor and link back to your site.

Most often with these types of linking strategies the goal is not to get DIRECT web site traffic from the other persons web site. But instead it’s called IN-DIRECT traffic.

You see the more people that link to your site, the better you rank in Google and the other top 5 search engines.

Google has something called Page Rank (PR) and when you have other sites that link to you, it helps to boost your PR in Google, ultimately helping you get listed better in the organic search results.

Okay, I’ll bottom-line it for you…

If you have a web site, and you link to our site, we will then link back to you in our Resource Directory.

So if you are ready to start getting more traffic and increasing your PR, simply visit our Link Exchange program and get listed today.

Cheers,
~ Segovia
