Thanks to websites like Squidoo, this is not possible.Squidoo is located here: http://squidoo.comSquidoo is a social site where people can sign up for free, and create their own pages.

[...]Traffic Generation Part 5 – The Power Of Blogs
Posted by David Wiltshire on December, 16th 2008If you don’t have a blog, you are missing out on a huge opportunity. Simply put, blogs open up doors for you to certain aspects of web promotion, and make it a lot easier to rise up in the search engines.If your main website isn’t a blog, you could consider adding one, such as: http://mywebsite.com/blog which could then push people towards your actual website. Blogs are free. Popular blog software includes:http://wordpress.comhttp://blogger.comhttp://livejournal.comOf the three listed, I would suggest working with WordPress, as it is the most robust and offers the greatest amount of flexibility.One of the great things about WordPress is that there are many plugins that you can install (also free) that will further enhance your blog. This makes it possible to do things like notify the search engines when you have new content, automatically bookmark your post to the social bookmarking services, setup future posts to go live automatically, [...]
Traffic Generation Part 4 – Fun With Twitter
Posted by David Wiltshire on December, 15th 2008Twitter is a very popular social site, where its users set up profiles about themselves and then network with others. It is very similar to Facebook. People “subscribe†to your profile, and then receive an update from you every time you make a post to your profile. Imagine, if you are selling something, how nice it would be to automatically notify everyone at once about a new product!

[...]Traffic Generation Part 2 – Social Bookmarking
Posted by David Wiltshire on December, 14th 2008Social bookmarking is another traffic generation technique that is very popular, and works very well. Have you ever bookmarked a webpage in your browser, so you can go back to it later? This is what social bookmarking is, except everyone can see what you bookmark.It is free to sign up at the popular social bookmarking networks, and it doesn’t take too long to bookmark your site. When your site receives a bookmark, it shows the search engines that people are talking about, and interested in your site. This is a great way to get a ton of high quality backlinks.It can be a bit of work signing up at all of the major bookmarking sites, but once you are setup, it goes a lot faster.Here are a few of the top social bookmarking sites:http://del.icio.ushttp://listible.comhttp://furl.nethttp://flickr.comhttp://slashdot.orghttp://simpy.comhttp://redditt.comhttp://kaboodle.comhttp://netvouz.comhttp://fark.comTo learn more about social bookmarking, please watch the video.

In this series we will be posting 52 different traffic generating techinques and each post will be accomponied with a video. So be sure to subscribe to our RSS feed so that you dont miss a post.
If I was only going to recommend one traffic generation strategy, it would be article marketing. There is a reason it is so popular, it is because it actually works!
Article marketing consists of creating articles from your niche, and submitting them to article directories. At the bottom of each article you write, you are allowed to link to your website. There are quite a few article directories that are very highly respected by the search engines, and having links from there pointing to your site is a huge advantage.
Additionally, once your article is in the directories, other webmasters will come and publish your article. It [...]
Traffic Generation and Working With Torrents
Posted by David Wiltshire on September, 4th 2008Working with bit torrents is an interesting way to get some easy traffic to your web design. Essentially a bit torrent is a file that is shared throughout the internet. The trick here is to create a small document that upsells your website or product, and giving it a catchy title. Once you have the file, you simply distribute it amongst the bit torrent network.

[...]Traffic Generation – Buying Adspace
Posted by David Wiltshire on May, 21st 2008Purchasing adspace can be a great way to get immediate exposure and traffic for your web design, though similar to PPC, I would strongly suggest making sure your site is optimized for sales before laying out a chunk of money. Adspace can be expensive and you want to make sure you get the most bang for your buck!
To find adspace, I would suggest spending time brainstorming where your potential customers hang out on the net, and then contact those sites to see if adspace is an affordable possibility for you.
