Nottingham to Edinburgh, Calling in at York and Newcastle - A Unique Online Road Trip

Written by The Laughing Camel
The Nottingham to Edinburgh online drive is an ideal place to start exploring online places to visit; particularly if you have never taken a "virtual road trip" before.
Our journey starts in Nottingham, aptly named the "Party Capital of the Midlands" due to the many pubs and clubs opened in recent years. Following the A1 north bound leads to the first waypoint at York Minster where we explore Viking history and the cathedral.
Back on the A1 we continue north until we see the signs for Newcastle, which is our second waypoint.

Then it's onward to EDINBURGH , the showcase capital of Scotland.From:

Busy Weekend with Loads of New Articles Being Submitted

I finally got around to including some press releases and news reports in LPR: http://www.liberated-press-releases.com/news/ This uses feeds from the New York Times, New York Jets (yep, I'm a Jets fan), Google News, BBC World News and my blog at Yahoo. Because I used the FeedReader all page content is spider ready. Not sure if it will work, but I need to find a way to get more traffic. Earning (a little) Learning (a lot).

The LPR article search is now fixed and shows the top 75 matching articles for keywords searches.

A lot of new articles were submitted over the weekend, all the usual spam suspect cats, pimples, forex and job interviews. One day, I'll get a round to clearing them all out.

The article below contains nothing really new, but it does highlight some useful techniques.


How To Generate Website Traffic

Traffic generation is one of the most talked about, most needed, and probably the area where people waste the most amount of money. In order to take advantage of your site's exposure, it's fitting to use a combination of the tactics that suit your website. When you are into online marketing, you only have to remember these words: LOCATION, LOCATION, and LOCATION.

Your site needs to be mentioned frequently in places where your niche market hangs out if you want your site to be seen by as many potential customers as possible. If you think you could be doing more to boost your site's traffic numbers, start putting these two Traffic strategies to work for you now and you can then sit back and enjoy all that free traffic coming your way.

These strategies are Solo Ads and Viral Marketing. Solo ads are the best advertising vehicle available today. If you use ezines or coops to send out your solo ads, your ad is only going to interested marketers that have requested to be contacted. Your ad has nothing else to compete with for the readers attention.

Process of publishing a solo ad: Choose a newsletter/Ezine Write the Solo Ad Write an Effective Title Design the website where your visitors go Tips to Create Effective: Choose the Ezine you want to advertise in very carefully Get the readers attention with the headline Don't sell anything in your ad Make your ad easy to read Tell the benefits Create sense of urgency The solo ad is not placed with a well targeted ezine or website. By using automatic ad submitters, or even an advertising co-op, you are not going to receive the type of audience you need for your ad.

Viral advertising, on the other hand, refers to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce exponential increases in brand awareness, through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of a computer virus. It can often be word-of-mouth delivered and enhanced online; it can harness the network effect of the Internet and can be very useful in reaching a large number of people rapidly. The term "viral advertising" refers to the idea that people will pass on and share interesting and entertaining content; this is often sponsored by a brand, which is looking to build awareness of a product or service.

An effective viral marketing strategy includes: Gives away products or services Provides for effortless transfer to others Scales easily from small to very large Exploits common motivations and behaviors Utilizes existing communication networks Takes advantage of others' resources For a viral marketing campaign to be successful, it must be easy to use. For example, if the promotion is some sort of game or contest, then asking for referrals should be an option immediately after the game, not as a condition to play.

Notable examples of viral marketing: The spread of text messaging The spread of IRC / Chatting Gmail McDonald's "McRib Farewell Tour" Microsoft's Origami Project campaign Microsoft's Xbox 360 campaigns, called OurColony and Hex168 Tupperware parties The Ring movie and its massive cursed video secret promotion, possibly the greatest effort of viral marketing ever You see, people tend to equate traffic with success online. But that is not really the case.

What is success online? Is it not the accomplishment of a desired goal, for example, making money online, teaching people about your pet cause, etc. The traffic building is simply one of many tools that you can use to do your goal better and faster. That's it. Traffic generation is not an end in itself, by any means.
