Hi. Welcome to the very first Ebook Times Traffic P.O.A.!

The idea behind the Traffic P.O.A. series is that it helps you generate more traffic to your website by DOING rather than just reading about doing.

It’s a Plan Of Action — it’s not a theoretical idea that you might get around to implementing tomorrow, or next week, or next year…

So, if you’re not in a position to set aside a little time right away to implement this P.O.A., then stop reading now. You’ll just be wasting your time for no good reason.

Let’s face it, you’ve already READ tons of traffic-generating tactics, but how many of them have you actually tried out?

Exactly.

So, like I said, if you’re not planning on following these steps right NOW, there’s no point in continuing.

Are you still with me?

Great! Let’s get started.

For this first P.O.A., we’re going to start with something that’s easy to implement and will result in getting multiple backlinks to your website. While these backlinks might not necessarily bring in a lot of direct traffic (from people clicking your links), they WILL boost your search-engine rankings which will result in more/better traffic in the medium to long term.

Now, if you’re sitting there thinking, “Sheesh, that’s no good, I want something that will bring me direct traffic right NOW” then ask yourself this…

“If I started implementing this simple strategy a year ago, how much more search engine traffic would I be getting today?”

The point is, the efforts you make now, start paying off little by little. Keep making the efforts and the pay-off will continue to grow. On the other hand, if you sit back and wait for the ‘magic traffic bullet’, then you’ll still be waiting in 6 months.

Today’s strategy involves getting backlinks by leaving comments on blogs that are related to the theme of your website.

Step 1 (5 minutes): Download and install a free copy of Comment Kahuna from here. Comment Kahuna is software that enables you to locate relevant blogs where you can leave comments and, basically, it helps speed up the whole process without getting into the kind of ’spammy’ territory that you might associate with ’fully-automated’ software. (You need to opt-in to download Comment Kahuna, but there are no OTOs or upsells. And, of course, you can easily unsubscribe again by hitting the link at the bottom of the follow-up email.)

Step 2 (2 minutes): Open Comment Kahuna. Enter your first name, last name and email address and then click the ‘Register’ button. Now, check your email inbox for the email containing the unlock code. Enter the code in Comment Kahuna and click the ‘Unlock’ button.

You’re now ready to get started generating backlinks to your website.

Step 3 (30 minutes): Using Comment Kahuna, locate blogs with a theme similar to your own blog or website (or whatever individual page you want to promote). Visit those blogs and leave a RELEVANT comment. By default, you can include a URL that will be linked from your name. If you’re creative, you might also find ways to include a URL inside your comment. Something along the lines of “Great info. If you need to find out more about xxx, here’s a great resource http… )

Now, I could spend the next 10 paragraphs explaining exactly how to use Comment Kahuna and giving tips on the type of comments to leave. But I won’t. Comment Kahuna comes with a very good user’s manual and a very good video. Quickly go through both of them before your first commenting session and you’ll be good to go.

Just a few last points…

- The first time you implement this strategy, it will take a little longer because you need to download and install the software and then learn how to use it. Next time around, however, you can add 10 or 20 comments in a matter of minutes. If you make it a habit to set aside 20 or 30 minutes each week to do a ‘blog commenting session’, pretty soon you’ll start to build up a very big collection of backlinks that will help increase your PageRank, your search engine positioning and, as a consequence, your overall traffic levels.

- Some blogs get a LOT of traffic. If your comments are useful/insightful, you can certainly expect to benefit from all that traffic to the tune of direct clicks on your links.

- Be sure to use this method wisely (leave relevant comments, don’t stuff your comments with links, etc…) and it will serve you well .

Okay, that’s it for this P.O.A. I hope you found it useful and I certainly hope you’ve put it into ACTION.

I’ll have another P.O.A. for you soon, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, you can get one extra link back to your website, by leaving acomment about this P.O.A. in the field provided below. If you have any additional tips to add — or if you’d like to see a P.O.A. related to a specific strategy, don’t hesitate to let me know.

All the best,

Michael
