RSS Hugger Logo

I need more traffic. No blogger is ever tired of getting more traffic. I joined RSS Hugger because they promise to send more traffic my way 😉 (of course free). Other bloggers that joined before me have a good testimony about them so I decided to join the train.

I will be watching my blog statistics closesly so that I can give an update to this post. If you’ve not joined, I encourage you to give it a trial. Since it is free I don’t see why you shouldn’t try it out. You can simply click on the link here or click on the image above to join.

That is another marketing task sub-contracted out. Now we can go to work on posting quality content for the visitors that will be sent by RSS Hugger 😉 Cheers.

5 Tips for Increasing your Alexa Rank without cheating!

5 tips for increasing your Alexa rank without cheating

When I started Nigerian Entrepreneur, my Alexa ranking was well over 5million. However, this morning, approximately 3weeks after, I have my ranking reading 610,255. I did not do anything spectacular to get the present ranking, just the usual tips suggested by more experienced bloggers. Find the tips below, they sure will add a boost to your ranking.

5 Quick Tips to Increase Your Website Alexa Ranking

  1. Install the Alexa toolbar or Firefox’s SearchStatus extension and set your blog as your homepage. If you work in an office, get everyone in the office to install the toolbar and set your site as their homepage.
  2. Put up an Alexa rank widget on your website. I did this a few days ago and receive a fair amount of clicks every day. According to some, each click counts as a visit even if the toolbar is not used by the visitor.
  3. Write or Blog about Alexa. Webmaster and bloggers love to hear about ways to increase their Alexa rank. They’ll link to you and send you targeted traffic (i.e. visitors with the toolbar already installed). This gradually has effects on your Alexa ranking.
  4. Use your URL as signature in forums and social media sites. This will naturally increase human traffic to your site and that will sure increase your ranking.
  5. Get listed on as many search engines as possible. I learnt that if a blog gets a free listing in DMOZ then it will get a lot of traffic since it is the largest human edited directory on the web (I am yet to get listed, if you have any idea on how to do it, let me know :-)).

You don’t need to Cheat to Increase Your Alexa Ranking

I have come across several articles suggesting tricks for cheating the system. They are not worth it. Remember it is a matter of time, a cheat will eventually get caught!

  • Don’t use auto-surf scripts or auto-refreshing web-pages, you will only eventually get into trouble.
  • Don’t use Alexa redirect it no longer works.

Those 5 tips for increasing your alexa rank requires no cheating. Use them and see your alexa rank increase. You can get free updates to the post 5 tips for increasing your alexa rank without cheating by subscribing to my RSS feed. See you at the top 🙂

Why you should start your online business with a blog?

March 25th, 2008

In my previous posts, I discussed some of the challenges that a serious online Entrepreneur will encounter on his/her way to success. The last post How to choose an online business, gave useful suggestions on how a newbie can choose the best business to start online. Today, I want to go a step further by providing a launch pad for those that are still confused on which type of business they should embark on (despite all that have been written on the subject).

Start a blog. Start it now. Yes, the easiest way to start an online business is by starting a blog. If you want a definition, here is one “A blog is a weB log. It is simply an online journal or diary where you write anything and everything, it all depends on you” It is yours. You have the freedom to make it your private turf, your private closet (open to selected few) or a public dump-ground (everyone is welcome). It all depends on your taste and passion 😉

Why should you start your online business with a blog? – The answer is simple

How To Choose An Online Business

March 22nd, 2008

Too many potential online entrepreneurs are waiting and praying for someone that sees tomorrow to tell them the perfect business that will turn them into a millionaire. They want to know the perfect business so that they will do it just right the very first time and become instant success.

Well, there is no such thing. Go ask the next door successful entrepreneur in your neighborhood, he will most likely tell you that:

  • Success comes from making good decisions (even a fool knows that)
  • Good decisions comes from good judgment (nobody will dispute that)
  • Good judgment comes from experience (I thought it is luck!)
  • Experience comes from several bad judgments (I don’t want to agree with that !???)

Welcome to reality. You need not be afraid of making bad judgment or failing! The only way to know if something will work is to try it! This does not mean you should foolishly and consciously start seeking for opportunities to make bad judgment. Rather it means you should seek for opportunities to succeed and try them. If they work, you have added to your experience, if they turn out as failure, you have learnt “how not to do business” 😉 and that will be an addition to your wealth of experience as an entrepreneur.

Several self-made entrepreneurs have offered guidelines that can help one in choosing the right business. I will share five with you.
