Hi loyal readers and friends. We are coming up on the holiday season and I am geting geared up for it. As promised, I have pics of young Prince Javon who has decided to go this Halloween as the Grim Reaper this year (from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends -- don't fret if you don't recognize it, it's a new cartoon and one of his favorites). Plan to have lots of fun this season and hope your season will be as happy as mine.

Leaders, I have promsed to give small tidbits on traffic generation and this one deals with a traffic subject near and dear to my heart - blogging. Many of us shy away from it because it is a bit of a chore to keep up and because it keeps us from the fun of surfing,  but in today's competitive world of internet advertising it is the one tool you just can't be without for getting search engine traffic.

Blogs can be thought of as the "candy" of the search engines. The major search engines often spider for new content and blogs and forum posts are often looked at because of their relative content-rich qualities and fresh new material on subject matter. Smart internet marketers pick up on this and use it as a deliberate part of their advertising campaigns. Our fomer mentor Doug Williams called this the blogosphere explosion.

So how do you get started down the road of getting blogs and blog content as part of your traffic campaigns? There are several great ebooks contained in SEOSquid to assist you with beginning work with blogs as well as the "Blogging and Winning" course in MoneyLegs. One great first step is to become a member of BlogEstates and the GJW Forum and to make a habit of reading posts in both places on a regular basis.

Posting comments are great and in the forum you can include a small signature file with links you wish to promote. The importance of these are they bring exposure to your links from the search engines.

The exposure from the blogosphere can get you real name recognition and traffic.  You should start with a topic that is familiar with you and start to make posts. Don't worry too much about content and form in the beginning, the idea is to get your name and ideas out there for others to see.

Courses in SEOSquid and our advanced SWARM training classes provide a plethora of knowledge and are key in gaining a working knowledge of how to work with the search engines and building traffic to the most important site on the internet -- your domain. Don't have one yet? Join SEOSquid and take advantage of our basic hosting package. Here you can take the vital first step to getting serious about having your own presence on the internet.

You don't build a kingdom in a day and getting your own presence in the blogosphere won't happen overnight either. Take baby steps, learn with us and eventually you will get there and be better for the effort.
