How To Get Massive Traffic To Your Blog Daily Part 1
This is the first part of the 3 part series consisting of 24 simple tips of getting massive traffic to your blog daily.
Blogging For Traffic Tip #1 – Create Original Content Of Significant Value
Content is king. If you have been in the Internet marketing scene for any period of time you would have heard this saying day in and day out. Every Internet marketing manual has this as it’s mantra and rightly so.
One of the biggest problems people have when blogging has nothing to do with the lack of traffic coming to their site. It’s a symptom of something more sinister. Bad content. Even worse then poorly written original content is content that is not original at all. This is the death bell for all blogs that want to be taken seriously.
You HAVE to have unique content. It is the lifeblood of blogging. Every other blog is lacking in original content, you have to be different.
Pay someone to write it if you have to.
Blogging For Traffic Tip #2 – Create Content That Gives People A Plan Of Action
Want to get people to not only read your blog but follow your word blindly and do your bidding for you? I kid you not, people will fall over themselves to do what you say if you do this. You just have to tell them what to do.
This is the greatest idea, especially if you are preselling an affiliate program via your blog.
Every one of your posts you write should give people an action that could be taken by the reader.
IE, every idea you give the reader, they should be able to go and implement in their business right away.
I’m not sure who I read this from but I remember reading that the best way to sell a product or an affiliate product, especially in the Internet marketing arena is to give them a plan that they can follow and implement straight away and then give them the resources to do that with.
A lot of people write ebooks or articles or blogs that are very informative but don’t really presell what they are trying to promote.

Easily submit your sites to web directories using free softwares!
Why is it important to list your website in web directories? Web directories were hot before the advent of search engines. Previously, people go to these directories to find quality websites, a potential referring traffic for web masters. However, these days, search engines made it easier for internet users to find what they’re looking for; directories were forgotten since then, sadly, even by webmasters.
SEO giants have long been stressing about the importance of building inbound links through web directories. Submitting your site to good and high-PR directories is one way of getting quality links that are highly valued by the search engines. Web directories are mainly human edited, thus a website must pass a strict criteria to get listed, hence quality links are only listed. These links are search engine friendly. Since they are organized in highly focused categories making them an invaluable resource for search engines to measure the quality and the relevance of a website.
Web directories are, thus, important not because they give direct referral traffic, but because they are given importance by the search engines to qualify and rank web pages and determine their relevance.

Recently, I had a problem with the loading time of my sites, including this one and it’s subdomains. I thought it was a host problem and posted a support question at their forums but the members said it loads pretty fast. I could not tell that it was due to the design of the site because I was not having this problem even before. So I tested it through Internet Explorer and this site loads faster, uh surprisingly. I totally forgot about Internet Explorer until I encountered this problem. So I am posting through IE when I am posting this one. 
Figuring out how this problem can be fixed, I found these quite useful links to optimize Firefox and make it loads faster.

How to Avoid Limewire Viruses?
- Image via Wikipedia
Sure, LimeWire and other P2P File Sharing programs let you download hundreds of songs and applications but they also bring risk to your computer and files. You can also download a lot of malicious files and programs such as viruses and spywares along with these downloads.
To avoid downloading these hazards, I have simple tips for you:
1. Avoid downloading archived files as much as possible. It may contain bundled viruses in it.
2. If you are downloading music, a file smaller than the average MP3 files which is 3MB arouses suspicion, so as much as possible never download it.
3. Try downloading the files which comes from many sources because there is a greater chance that you are not downloading a virus.
4. With my over a year of experience with LimeWire, I have noticed that a file size of 871 kb is always a virus.

1. Pictures. Adding pictures relevant to or descriptive of your blog post is one of the proven ways to attract readers, make them stay and read your posts further.
There are several options you have to add images to your posts. You can either manually search for photos then post the image to your blog (what you call hot linking) or upload it directly to your website; add your hosted images from image-hosting websites like Photobucket, ImagesHack, and the like; and use an amazing plugin for WordPress users called Photodropper.
2. Relevant links. Adding relevant links will serve as reference or source of your posts. This adds credibility to you as a writer. Furthermore, you build camaraderie among your fellow bloggers for giving them link love.
3. Articles. Similar with giving relevant links, citing articles serve as a reference for your post.
