Member You - How Your Site Logs Can Make You Money
My mother wanted to be sure that her condo in Florida was in my name. When she checked with the condo administrator she found there was a Quit Claim Deed dated 1990 on file that said just the opposite. The condo was taken out of my name and put in the name of both my parents.The advice from the condo administrator was to get another Quit Claim Deed to make it in my name again. How could we do that? She directed us to the self help desk in the court house.My mother is 93 and court houses are usually big and require lots of walking. She uses a walker so that didn’t seem like something she could do. Besides I wanted it done correctly and we really didn’t know what we were doing. I suggested we call a lawyer.Reluctantl
Just as I do for people who trackback my blog (refer to it in their blog), I follow each link, get an email address and send off a quick email to the person thanking them for taking the time to mention my site. Nothing fancy — just a quick thanks is fine.
The responses I get back are terrific. I would say that a large majority of them (80% probably) are responded to with amazement that I would take the time to acknowledge their actions. But why wouldn’t I? If someone takes the time to recommend you the least you can do is acknowledge that recommendation and be grateful for it.
I love the site list because I find out some really interesting things. For example, my trackback to Google’s blog when they bought Writely was actually listed on the Google blog page and brought me some traffic. And I was on the front page of del.icio.us for a little while…long enough to get some hits that way too. It’s really interesting, and it’s really fun to go through. Sigh…
With that in mind, here are some highly effective methods to get your email advertisement, that you worked so hard on, sent straight to my trash folder thanks to my awesome filtering software:With that in mind, here are some highly effective methods to get your advertisement, that you worked so hard on, sent straight to my trash folder thanks to my awesome filter:Your email address looks like gibberish or appears to be coded as in x748cJhb@adomain.com, cBGtTnfP@anydomain.com, jt12355@anydomain.com, or 68340224@anydomain.com. . .I don't know you - TRASH! Your email address is "from:" email address is blank. You are definitely a spammer. I don't correspond with anyone who doesn't have an ema
So every morning I let my four dogs out, grab a cup of coffee and toast a bagel, then run upstairs and get on my computer. Some days I need to be out of the house at 9:00 AM to get somewhere, and some days I have nothing but time. Either way there are three things I do every morning after looking over my emails. First I go and post an article to five different article sites. This ensures that a steady stream of new one-way links to this website is being produced.
Then I go to my RSS reader and poke around for a while on the forums and blogs to see what is going on. I keep a notebook next to my computer and write down anything that I think I can use later. Then I get to the most interesting and important part of the morning — I go to my awstats page.
Awstats is a basic site log analysis program that comes with most host accounts. I’ve always wondered how accurate the hit counts and other numbers really are, but that doesn’t matter because I’m not looking for counts…I’m looking for trends.
Reviewing and understanding your site traffic logs can help you make more money by tailoring your site to meet the needs of your visitors.
The first place I stop is my average page counts by day of week. I’ve noticed on AffiliateBlog that the traffic starts off strong on Monday, builds through Wednesday, then starts to trail off. There’s a small spike Saturday morning, but it’s a classic bell curve otherwise. What does this mean? It means that if I have something that I think is going to be well received I try to publish it on Sunday and get my pinging done for Monday. I’ve also noticed that my RSS Feed subscribership follows the same pattern. This all makes sense, because people start off the week strong and end it tired — including me.
I breeze by the countries and note the flags because I think it’s cool. Next I stop at the section that shows the robots visiting the site. I make sure all of them have been there recently (especially Google), and I make a note if it looks like something is not right. I recently realized that one of the minor robots had never visited, so I went to the site and submitted a listing. If you’re curious about all the robots out there, go to Robotstxt.com and take a look. Make sure the major robots on the list have visited your site in the last month. If not, you need to get them there. I’ve noticed that MSN, Yahoo and Google (in that order) visit my site the most. You need regular robot visits to ensure your latest content is indexed and available to prospective visitors.
Now we get to the fun part — the list of the most-viewed pages. This tells you which content people are most interested in, and which content isn’t really making the grade. The most popular post on AffiliateBlog has been The Ten Top Paying Programs at Commission Junction This Week. Oddly enough, a similar post about Shareasale is much farther down the list, meaning that people want to hear about top paying programs, but they want to hear about Commission Junction as well. I always watch for posts that climb up the line fast, and I always take note of them to brainstorm another entry that my visitors might like.
I get some search engine traffic but not much, so I glance at the keywords. Judging by some of the keywords that appear there, this section isn’t very accurate.
Still there? Okay…listen up. Here’s where you can really multiply your traffic, find some compatriots to work with and get some terrific insights into the minds of your visitors. Move down to the section that shows the external web sites that people are coming from. Understand…this is where your visitors saw something about you and clicked on it.
Go through this entire list. I look for blog sites, web sites, social bookmarking sites (like del.icio.us) and forums that have not appeared before or have moved up fast. I click on the link and see where it leads. Then I see the context in which my website appears.

San Diego is An Ideal Place:The delightful climate of San Diego makes it an ideal place for starting a landscaping business here. San Diego has the credit of being the seventh city when we consider the largest cities of the United States of America. It comes at number two in the California state. Major industries of San Diego are ship-building, communications, biotechnology, oceanography, and biomedical research. This city also works as a distribution center along with being the processing point for the agriculture area, which is highly productive. Computer hardware, software, processed food, and apparels are some other major industries in San Diego. Historic attractions and miles-long beaches have made tourism an important part of th

Strategy, leadership, innovation, and marketability…all are crucial to business success; however can your business execute?Small business owners normally spend countless hours organizing business plans and marketing plans without considering if they can execute the plan. Creating a plan whatever type of plan, should be your game plan to achieve your vision. This requires one of the most important skills of any business-Execution.What is execution? In business, it’s exposing reality so that you can act on it. Execution is not just about doing what you say you’re going to do.

The South African Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) sector is the new target for technology companies seeking to sell products and services. However, what does this turnaround in attitude mean for the small business owner?In the past SMEs were seen as too small, with limited resources, requiring too much investment in time and back-up support from vendors. Also, it took too many small transactions to generate the same revenue that a large corporate or government contracts would make. So, the focus was on winning large government tenders and winning corporate clients, which brought in huge revenues once the contract was signed.As for SMEs, it was much easier to sell them products and services that almost fit, and if the match wa

One last observation…I noticed that my bookmark percentage is over 200%, meaning that I'm getting more return visitors than new visitors. I'm sure I can cure that by PPC advertising, but I'm waiting until my site is redesigned.
My RSS feed list at Feedburner hovers at about the same range throughout the month, meaning that more people bookmark the site than sign up for RSS feeds. I’ve pondered this all month, and I’ve decided that a large majority of my visitors don’t use RSS regularly. That’s why the new crimson box at the top of this page has appeared today. I put together an email version of my RSS feed in digest form that I’m going to make available weekly.
So there’s a ton of information out there in that log file — you just need to go over it carefully and think.
