t=v1+v2, Trik meningkatkan traffic dengan cepat dan alami

Assalamualaikum…
Rekan netter sekalian,
Ada sebuah filosofi yang mengatakan "Honesty is The Best Policy (Kejujuran adalah politik/strategi terbaik)" , akan kita buktikan bersama....apakah konsep kejujuran ini bisa kita olah menghasilkan traffic dan popularity yang lebih hebat dari konsep rumit para expert webmaster atau pakar SEO..?...

Saya yakin bisa asal konsep berikut ini di jalankan dengan benar...,bila ini di terapkan pada web atau blog anda sesuai ketentuan maka:
- Web anda akan kebanjiran traffic pengunjung secara luar biasa hari demi hari, tanpa perlu repot-repot memikirkan SEO atau capek-capek promosi keberbagai tempat di dunia internet.
- Web anda akan kebanjiran backlink secara luarbiasa hari demi hari, tanpa perlu repot-repot berburu link keberbagai tempat di dunia internet.
Jika Albert Einstein memakai persamaan e=mc2 untuk menggabungkan potensi masa dan kecepatan cahaya untuk menghasilkan energi nuklir yang luar biasa itu ,maka kita akan memakai persamaan t=v1+v2 untuk mnggabungkan potensi web saya dan web anda untuk menghasilkan traffic dan popularity yang luar biasa pula.
Jika Einstein menggunakan atom plutonium dan uranium untuk membuat bom nuklir, maka kita menggunakan Kejujuran dan ketepatan untuk membuat bom traffic dan popularity ini.

Di bawah ini adalah langkah-langkah yang perlu anda lakukan.
Jadi, mohon dibaca dengan seksama lalu terapkan dengan benar....!!

1. Buat posting artikel seperti posting saya ini, atau copy-paste posting ini dan juga diberi berjudul : t=v1+v2 ,Cara meningkatkan traffic dan popularity dengan cepat dan alami

2. Selanjutnya Copy atau buat KALIMAT SAKTI yang ada di bawah nomor 4 ini lalu pasang di web anda pada bagian yang paling mudah dilihat pengunjung, misalnya di bagian atas sidebar:

3. Pindahkan atau ganti link atau alamat url posting saya (disini-1) menggantikan alamat url rekan saya (disini-2).
-untuk mengetahui alamat url posting saya dan posting yang anda buat adalah bisa dengan meng-klik judul/title posting yang kita buat ini.

4. Lalu isi alamat url posting anda pada disini-1 tadi. Jadi anda melakukan publish (terbitkan) 2 kali, setelah posting ini selesai anda buat lalu di terbitkan, dan lalu anda klik pada title (judul) posting untuk mengambbil/meng-copy alamat url posting anda dari address bar browser anda, lalu anda edit lagi posting tadi dan masukan pada link disini-1 itu.

Berikut tulisan "KALIMAT SAKTI" yang perlu anda pasang di bagian web anda (setelah di ganti link url-nya sesuai ketentuan di atas)

"Ingin meningkatkan traffic pengunjung dan popularity web anda secara cepat dan tak terbatas...?...
Serahkan pada saya..., Saya akan melakukannya untuk anda GRATISSSS...!..Klik disini-1 dan disini-2"


-Jadi setelah KALIMAT SAKTI ini di letakan di web anda maka: jika pengunjung meg-klik link disini-1 akan menuju link posting anda, dan jika meng-klik disini-2 akan menuju link posting saya...dan seterusnya kan terus terjadi mata rantai yang tak terputus seperti itu...

-Di bawah ini ada 2 link :link anda (link web saya sekarang) dan link saya (link web rekan saya sekarang) . Maka ganti (alamatnya) "link anda" dengan "link url web anda" dan "link saya dengan link url web saya" (link rekan saya di hapus).

link anda : http://BukitSanghiyang.blogspot.com/2009/03/trik-meningkatkan-traffic-dengan-cepat.html

link saya : http://bajuinraya.blogspot.com/2009/07/tv1v2-trik-meningkatkan-traffic-dengan.html

5. Selesai, siapkan counter tracker dan pengecek link misalnya sitemeter dan technorati untuk melihat hasil banjir traffic dan linkback web anda.

Apa itu t=v1+t2...?
t : Jumlah traffic yang akan di peroleh web anda dalam suatu hari
v1 : Jumlah pengunjung web anda dalam suatu hari
v2: Jumlah pengunjung yang dimiliki v1 (pengunjung dari pengunjung web anda) dalam suatu hari.

Traffic:Misalnya, web saya ini atau web anda dalam sehari memiliki rata-rata pengunjung 50 orang.., dan semuanya menerapkan konsep kita ini (KALIMAT SAKTI) dengan benar, dan dari 50 orang itu masing-masing memiliki 50 orang pula pengunjung dari blog-nya , maka web kita akan berpeluang di kunjungi 50 ditambah 50 x 50 orang pada hari itu = 2550 orang , dan akan berpeluang terus meningkat pula hari demi hari ,karena setiap hari selalu ada pengunjung baru di dunia internet, setiap hari juga ada blogger atau web baru di dunia internet...BUKTIKAN!!

Popularity:Misalnya, web kita memiliki pengunjung 50 orang dalam suatu hari, dan semuannya menerapkan konsep ini , maka dalam hari itu web anda akan mendapatkan 100 linkback ke web anda, yaitu sebuah link pada KALIMAT SAKTI dan sebuah link pada link saya di kalikan 50. dan akan berpeluang meningkat terus hari demi hari....

Kenapa perlu di buat link link anda dan link saya pada posting...?...hal ini untuk menjaga keabadian link kita, karena seperti kita tau link pada posting lebih kecil kemungkinannya terhapus....

Bisakah kita berbuat tidak fair atau tidak jujur menyabotase konsep ini, misalnya "menghilangkan semua link asal" lalu di isi dengan web/blog kita sendiri...? ....Bisa, dan konsep ini tidak akan menjadi maksimal untuk membuktikan Kejujuran adalah strategi/politik terbaik.....Tapi saya yakin bahwa kita semua tak ingin menjatuhkan kredibilitas diri sendiri dengan melakukan tindakan murahan seperti itu...
Semoga bermanfaat
Wassalamualaikum

Secrets To Successfully Marketing Your Resume Online by CountrysBestResumes

Pretty much every company will request that you fill out an online application or submit your resume via email. The way we searched for jobs in the 1990's is no longer the protocol. According to Tawana Wood, Chief Resume Writer and Owner of CountrysBestResumes.com, a leading resume writing company, gone are the days when we used newspapers as our primary source for job leads. Technology has made it easier to view job leads from all over the country with just a click of a mouse. However, responding to job leads on the Internet can be tricky. Ms. Wood shares the following tips for helping job seekers successfully market their resumes online.

Tip 1. Your chances of securing an invitation for an interview are dramatically increased when you are among the first to respond. Note the date the job was posted on an Internet site.

Tip 2. Try to use manageable and profession/industry specific websites, go to the job search tab for Internet job sites by industry. Limit the number of websites you use to apply for jobs. General purpose and popular websites tend to generate a greater amount of traffic that often means more competition and more work for the employer.

Recruiting executives look to professional organizations as resources. Join professional organizations and sign up for their job listings.

Tip 3. Use appropriate e-mail addresses and check your email account daily. Avoid using email addresses with numbers and multiple random letters such as Y2653nnko@ emailaddress . com

Tip 4. Sign up with professional publication websites. Many employers often place ads through their sites or have direct links to their career pages.

Tip 5. Keep a log of where and when you send out your job response emails. The easiest way to do this is by creating a new folder in your email manager and storing all of your sent emails under your new job folder.

Tawana Wood is a recruiter and Chief Resume Writer for CountrysBestResumes.com, she has personally written more than 7,000 resumes for today's top executives worldwide.

Internet Business-How To locate A Profitable Niche by Gen Wright

When you look at starting a Internet business, one of the first things that you must decide on is the niche that you will build your business in. But how do your decide on a niche and how will you know if that niche can be profitable for your new Internet marketing business? In this article I will give a few tips for finding a profitable niche market for your new online business. Niche Ideas; First we must start with listing all the ideas that come to mind for possible niches for your new business. Start with what you know. Look at your own areas of interest and expertise for clues for possible niches. If you can work in a niche that you already know, you will be way ahead since you won't have to deal with a learning curve for your topic. Other places for ideas are ebay Pulse, Google Trends, and book sellers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble. These sites will give you insight as to what is hot and what is selling right now. Research Time; Now that you have some ideas it's time to get down to the business of research. First you should look at your list and pick your top five niches for more research. One of the first things that you need to find out is if there is enough interest in your topic to support your business. This is also when you will need to start thinking about your business model. You will hear a lot of people telling you to get in small low competition niches. That may be good advise if you plan to build a lot of sites in a lot of different niches. However, The bigger and more competitive niches are that way because there is a lot of money being spent in those niches. That being said, it's time for the next step... Check the demand; Now we need to find out if there is enough demand for our niche to support our business. How will we do that? There are many ways that we can see what the demand is so we'll start with some simple keyword tools that will give us the number of searches for related keywords. For this I use the "seobook keyword suggestion tool". This free tool will give you the estimated average daily searches for your main keyword and give you up to 100 additional related terms and their search volumes. This is also a good time to make a note of the other suggested keywords that seobook gave you. If there looks like decent search volume for this topic then we can now dig deeper into the niche. At this point I like to go back to Amazon and see if there are any books being sold on the topic. If there are physical books being written and sold on a niche topic, that's a good indication that there is good demand and that the niche can be profitable. You should also make a note of the topics of the books being sold. These topics will give you some good ideas for your own product for your internet marketing business. Now that we have a general idea of demand for the niche for our Internet business, it's time to take a look at... Check the supply; Now that we have a niche topic and know that there is sufficient demand for that niche, we have to take a look at the supply or the competition in that niche. A side note here...don't let the fear of competition scare you away from an obviously profitable niche, Especially if you have some background or expertise in that niche. Competition means that there is probably money being spent in this niche and that is what you want. Look at the competition and see what they are selling and how they are doing their marketing. Learn from your competitors and then get your own Internet business started and get in there and compete.

Six Figure Yearly Review - Make Money... Or Loose Money? by bill j bradley

Recently there has been a lot of "HYPE" around this new money making system called Six Figure Yearly. I, like many other people, have my doubts but love the thought of a system that claims to make you over $40,000 a month... who wouldn't like that right?


So before I broke down and bought this system I did the usual research into the product. As I was expecting it was tough to find HONEST reviews and testimonials. I kept digging deep and found out that they employ an entire crew of customer support specialists. This blew my mind because after buying other similar systems, somebody to talk to (not a robot!) seemed like the only thing that they were missing. With Six Figure Yearly if you ever get stuck... it is literally a call away for firsthand advice, virtually 24/7.


I then found out their business model in which you would be using to make your riches. The whole basis for the system is "RESIDUAL INCOME", which means after you build your business plan with them, you can leave it on autopilot churning out money for you, and go to work on another model! You can essentially make some quick money right away, but the "major selling point" is that over time, you will have several streams of income unloading into your bank account!


So now here is what everybody wants to hear... the RESULTS!


I decided that this system had more opportunity then risk ratio and purchased it. I am not expert in Internet Marketing but I also have some experience as well. I would recommend this to all beginners without a doubt, especially for the unparallel customer service. As for expert marketers... you will still learn many new tips and techniques but some of the system might be redundant.


After my first week, from using the methods of Six Figure Yearly, I had made over $1,000! That's right... honest proof right here. I estimated about 3-4 hours of work for 6 days and made $1,000 my first week. When the month had ended, my total was over $6,000!


Now going back to Six Figure Yearly's claim of $48,000 per month, I will say that with some time and effort... it IS POSSIBLE. Do not expect that immediately but this is one of the only systems where I can see myself achieving that goal.


Even though it isn't $48,000, to earn 6k in my first month I was already making more then my 9-5 job as a manager at the local Best Buy.


I would highly recommend Six Figure Yearly to anybody serious about making money online and tired of loosing it! Visit Six Figure Yearly's website here or to get even more information about Six Figure Yearly, read more at uTipster Reviews.


Good Luck, and get out their and earn some money!

Affiliate Marketing: Four Things A Beginner Should Know by Steve Griffin

As I've said in my blog, Affiliate Marketing is probably the best, easiest and fastest way to get an internet business up and running. And, as I said, the best way to learn the business is to invest in a training course, preferably one that offers step-by-step instructions on what to do, how to do it (this one's really important!), and when to do it. You can visit my website to see the one that I use myself.

But before you do that, there are a few things that you need to know about this business.

1) THIS IS A BUSINESS. You'll need to approach it like one. That means, among other things, you need to take a few minutes to decide just what it is you want to accomplish, and how much work you're willing to put in. Make some goals, plan your work, and work your plan. I know that you've seen offers claiming that you can make millions and work 15 minutes a week. Really?! If you're trying to make an extra fifty bucks a week, maybe that's all the effort you need. But if you're trying to make real money, enough to, say, support a family in style, then I'm afraid you're gonna have to actually work at this. That said, you won't have to work 8 or 10 hours a day. But be prepared to give this a few hours (yes, hours, not minutes) a week.

2) This Is Not A Get-Rich-Quick Scheme. Just like anything else in life, anything worth having is worth waiting for and working towards. If you know someone who's making big money as a lawyer, or doctor, or business owner, I promise you that their success did not come overnight. On the other hand, one of the absolute best things about Affiliate Marketing is that you don't need 4 years of college plus 3 years of law school or 10 years of medical school and residency before things start to happen. The curve here is much, much shorter. You can see real results in months, not years. Just don't expect to see success in days.

3) There Will Be Some Costs. If you select a training program, there are costs. If you want to make money on the internet, you'll need a presence on the internet. That means you'll need to register a domain (about $10 - $20 per year, per domain), host it (about $5 - $10 per month), and, depending on how your model is structured, maybe an autoresponder (about $20 per month). That said, the startup costs of an Internet Affiliate Marketing business (about $50) are WAY less than the startup cost for a traditional brick & mortar business. So if you're balking at $50 to start a business that could, in less than a year, net you $3000 to $5000 per month (conservatively), consider that just the franchise fee for most fast-food chains is between $30,000 and $70,000! And that doesn't include the building. Or the french-fry machine!

4) This Requires Discipline. To make money as an affiliate marketer, you have to take action, do the work, and keep doing the work. Even when it looks like it'll never work. Keep at it. Besides, if it took you a whole year to start making $5000 a month, ask yourself, do you make $5000 a month at your day job? And if you do, how long did it take you to get to that point? I'll bet it took longer than a few months!

So be disciplined, and be optimistic, and keep working on it. The money will come before you know it! Just keep in mind, every person making a living online today has, at one point asked himself, "What the heck is a blog?!" But, and this is what's important, they found out, and kept moving forward!

Network Marketing and the Baby Boomers by Darwin Farr

Network Marketing and the Baby Boomers

Baby Boomers is a term given to the generation of people that were born between the years 1946 and 1964 - a rise in births immediately following the return of the soldiers from World War II. The needs of that generation have produced some interesting trends starting 63 years ago. Trends that might be of value to someone interested in network marketing.

In 1928 the Gerber Baby Food Company was started. Twenty years later sales had gone from 1 million cans per week to 2 million cans per day. In 1948 the company slogan became "Babies are our business ... our only business."

In the 1950s Schwinn Bicycle sales spiked. Hula Hoop became a household name. Mr. Potato Head, Slinky, Erector Sets, Rin Tin Tin and Lassie all became common names in every household. In the

1960s the baby boomers became of age to drive. You guessed it, the Ford Mustang rolled out on the floor. Fast cars were the craze of the day and "GTO" by Ronny and the Daytonas was a popular car song among the teenagers.

In the 1970s disco dance became popular. Mini skirts and platform shoes were seen everywhere. The baby boomers were making their mark on the world. Drugs and "free love" was a discussion brought on by parents who objected to their use. As the baby boomers began to have children of their own, Pampers, Binky and Hot Wheels started coming off the shelves.

In the 1980s the baby boomers began to become more affluent. They had been in the workforce now for a period of time and incomes were rising. Rise in incomes created a desire for nicer homes and thus we have the housing boom of the 80s. People had money to invest and so the stock market began its rise. The demand for more and more products created a need to go overseas to purchase items and thus we see the introduction of Toyota, Datsun, Panasonic, Sony and others. The market became more global because of that need. Baby boomers were needing more room for their children in the vehicles and so we see the need for the Minivan. Dodge introduced the Dodge Caravan in 1983.

In the 1990s we see the growth of the world wide web. Microsoft got its start and soon provided the operating system for most of the world's computers. Technological advances allowed for worldwide communications and so mobile phones are introduced and by the late 90s the mobile phone was in almost every household. Network marketing reached maturity in the late 90s. Corporate America had started downsizing and job security began to fade. The need for a home based business became a reality and network marketing was here to stay. The IRS now recognizes that network marketers are independent contractors.

The 2000s are upon us and indeed almost over and have created a "need of its own" for the baby boomers. The boomers are aging and beginning to retire. This creates more needs and greater opportunities for business that can be filled in network marketing. What is in the minds of the baby boomers? Number one - they want to feel good. Age has caught up to them and they want something to help with that. We have certainly seen a surge in health and wellness products, Diabetes and other health issues are prevalent and so you see a rise in health and wellness establishments. Walgreens and CVS Pharmacies are on every corner or at least is seems that way. Network marketing has jumped all over that market and has been promoting health and wellness products for over 15 years. Donald Trump is even getting into the health and wellness business. Because of all of these products and an active lifestyle, people are now living longer.

Number two - people want to look good. Once again age has caught up to the boomers and they are seeing wrinkles and crows feet appear and their waste lines increase. If you go into Walgreens or CVS you see that a good portion of the store is set aside for beauty aids and weight loss. Network marketing has jumped all over that market as well.

Number three - people are retiring and want to travel. The boomers have earned their money and want to spend it on things that they like to do. Travel is one of those things. The world today has such easy access. Airlines make it easy to get to any part of the world in a reasonable amount of time. Families are spread out all over the world and so a need for parents to travel to visit them. Beaches and mountain tops and golf courses and amusement parks are very enticing to people who are retired or will soon be retiring. The travel agencies in all the malls are gone now and replaced by the internet. Anyone can book online. Network marketing has not established itself that well in the travel industry. The opportunity is there and a few companies are beginning to jump on board. With the 8 trillion dollar industry out there to capture a part of, the network marketing industry is poised to be one the best opportunity for a home based business.

Number four - people who are at the age of retirement are not financially able to retire. We live in a world of instant gratification and many have spent their resources. The need for these retirees to supplement their social security checks with some income is there. What better way to do that than to have a home based travel business where they can enjoy the benefits of both an income and travel.

It is this writer's opinion that the home based travel business is the best opportunity today in network marketing. All the other network marketing opportunities combined pale in comparison to the 8 trillion dollar travel business that is there to be developed by those with an entrepreneur spirit. The travel business is expected to double in the next 10 years and someone has to be there to fill that need.

10 Good Reasons for a Landing Page by Art Hendela

Landing pages support your advertising and marketing efforts with information specific to that campaign. Your landing page allows you to determine the effectiveness of your campaign.

Here are 10 good reasons to create a separate landing page to support your marketing efforts:

1) Identify who visited.
Landing page sites can offer a premium or reward which asks the visitor to fill out a brief form with contact information. Adding a survey can add even more value by starting the qualification process. Having a small premium such as a gift card or a free product sample encourage people to have a salespeople to discuss the product offerings. With paper ads you never know who actually saw your ad.

2) Inform your visitors.
Landing page sites are created to give more information than can possibly fit in traditional advertising. Paper ads are limited by space. Television and radio ads are limited by time. Your landing page is not bound by either. Information about your offer can be expanded. Visitors might fill out a form to get a premium, give permission to follow-up, or perhaps register for a newletter. In any case, your landing page becomes your gateway to turn a prospect into a customer.

3) Expand the geographic scope.
Newspaper ads, magazine ads, and direct mail pieces are incredibly expensive. They charge based on size, color, length of the run, etc. They may be limited to a particular geographic location or charge extra for a wider geographic edition. If someone wants to go to the newspaper store at 3 AM and that store is closed, they miss seeing your ad. Landing pages are much more cost effective. They are available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week around the world for as long as you wish to keep them.

4) Allow flexibile content.
Once you sign off on traditional ad copy and the ad is run, there is nothing you can do to change it. Landing pages give you the opportunity to see what is working based on traffic analysis. If necessary, you can change content and emphasis immediately.

5) Separate visitor statistics.
Landing page sites keep your web visitor statistics separate from your main web site. If a person visits your landing page, then you can be very sure that they saw your ad or other promotional material. When your advertising sends your prospects only to your main website, you cannot tell if the person visited because of your ad or because they happened to find you on the internet.

6) Add different types of content.
If you are running a television ad, you are limited to verbal and visual message for a very short period of time. On the radio, you are limited to only a verbal message, also for a short period of time. If you are running hard copy ads in newspapers, magaizes, and direct mail, you are limited to a visual and text message. With a landing page you are not limited. Your message can be presented in a variety of ways. You can add a video clip. You can add an audio clip. You can add pictures that change over time. Of course you'll have the text copy too.

7) Increase search engine placement.
You can create links to your main site from your landing page and track the traffic that is driven to your main website. External links to your main site are one way that determine how search engines rank your site in search results.

8) Focus your customer contact.
You can stay in contact with a person visiting your landing page that permits you to track who they are from your contact form. If the prospect does not become a customer now, you may be able to contact them in the future if you offer something similar or with different features.

9) Reinforce your brand.
Landing pages that use the same styles as your ads and main website reinforce who you are in the market. Your corporate identity says a lot about you. Having multiple places that emphasize your branding can help your prospects think of you first.

10) Enhance the perception of your business.
Landing pages help enhance the perception of your business as a quality provider of goods and services. A company that has a landing page separate from their main corporate site shows a commitment to servicing that customer. You are perceived as a company that does things right.

Conclusion
With the high cost of traditional media for limited space, landing pages become a very cost effective way to increase the information that gets into the hands of your customers. The ability to gather visitor information allows you to target your customers. In today's economy, leveraging every customer contact is more important than ever before.

Michael Jackson Was The Greatest: Long Live The King by Ryan Best

Michael Jackson was a man that you didn't have to know in order to feel close to him. Many people around the world shared these same thoughts. There was just something magical about him that touched the souls of everybody that listened to him and watched him perform. You could say it was close to a touch of God. Not comparing him to the higher power, but his presence was like no other, There will never be anything like it again. People that grew up a fan honestly felt that they lost a part of them when he died. It was a sad day.

There is no other singer/person that had the world grieve for them like he did. Grown men cried over his death, people took their lives after he left this earth. The things he did in his lifetime will never be touched. It's sad how people tried to slander his name his whole career, but really never succeeded. Was it because they were jealous that a man could have that much power? Was it because he was black? Was it because they couldn't have what he did? The answer will probably never be found.

Michael Jackson's career spoke words that can't be explained. Just his presence on stage had massive amounts of people crying and fainting. That's unheard of. No matter how old he got, people still bought his music. No matter what color or ethnicity you were people still played and danced to his songs. He was a man of great talent. As far as his appearance, he had a reason for that. He basically had skin cancer, and people talk about him as if he wanted to be a white man.

Things people try to do and say about Michael Jackson just don't make sense. There is truly hate in people's blood. His songs not only had tunes that people today still dance to as if they were new, but they had messages. A lot of his songs were based on war topics, racial topics, and personal motivation. For example two songs you might want to listen to are "Man In The Mirror", and "Black or White."

He was a simple man that just wanted to live. He didn't grow up like the rest of the world. So how can people judge him. His childhood was like no other, but yet he was criticized on a continuous basis. The funny thing is, after all the bad talk about him he still overcame everything. He didn't lose fans, he only gained them. His death marked a period in history that will never be forgotten. He left such a legacy that I can even see on day being named after him in his honor.

All for a singer you say? No, he was much more than that. He gave people hope. He gave people a chance by paving the way in the music industry. He connected with all people around the world like no other person did. He gave to more charities than any person ever has. He was passionate about everything he did. People can say what they want about him but it won't change what he's done. Rumors usually end a person's career; his career never ended and never will. He flourishes even when he's not on earth. I just want to personally say goodbye Michael. You will truly be missed. You touched more people than you'll ever know. It was too soon for us to see you leave, but the lord believed that you did everything you could've done. It was time for you to be in a better place. "Long Live The King."
