Are you looking to get more traffic to your website?
Of course!
Last week, my pal Nick Reese interviewed me on how people can increase their web traffic and let me tell you this:
It turned out amazing and I’m giving it away for free.
This is the first time I’ve ever released this type of information on video before, so I think you should check it out. If you’re getting this via email, you’ll have to click on over to my website to view the video.
As a quick summary, in this video, you’ll learn my two sure-fire ways to more web traffic. You’ll also hear specific examples of how you can implement them on your website today.
For more specifics, here’s a list of what I talk about in this video:
- How to Convert “Random Visitors” into “Regular Visitors “
- How to Chase Hot News and Get Traffic
- The “Celebrity Bait” Traffic Strategy
- The “One Page One Goal” Method to Optimizing Your Website
There’s a few more things, but you’ll have to watch to find out. It won’t take but a few minutes!
Oh, and thank you Nick Reese for interviewing me. It was a lot of fun!

Looks like this might be a great video – however it’s so choppy, meaning every few seconds it stops and starts, so I lost patients to view it. Even clicked on vimeo and still the same! May I recomend Viddler, best video site I’ve found, and I use alot of them. Also recommended by several top bloggers! Good luck with whatever your doing, since I can’t view it!
Hrm. I’m not having a problem on my end. Vimeo is usually pretty good so I’m not sure why this is happening. I might just get my own flash video player and run this off my own server next time. Sorry about the inconvenience.
It worked fine for me, it may just be down to Internet speed. In fact I was really impressed when I enlarged to full screen on a 24″ Mac the quality in HD was amazing.
Good stuff Derek and also a question. I used to do the subscribe thing until 2 or 3 years ago and had a list of a couple of thousand or so. Then I got sick of offering different content to my subscribers than was on the blog and quit it. Posts can sometimes take me as long as 5 or 6 hours and my reasoning was, let everybody read that.
Having said all that I know that people really push the ‘list’ thing, it’s just that I don’t want to have to supply new content because I put the best stuff on my blog. Just wondered what your take on that was, or even if you have one!
Well, I know where you’re coming from. The problem is, the email list is worth its weight in gold. Even if you’re just encouraging people to get the content you already create via email… you should be promoting email lists.
Excellent interview Derek and Nick. I’ve been contemplating having comments on my new site. You provided the answer. Great tips, looking forward to more interesting triggers.
PS. Nick could use a little more work on his forearms:)
Comments can be great… but you’re always better off building up a base audience first… then “launching” comments as a brand-new feature. It will get people talking faster.
Derek,
Love the video and also like your site layout. It inspired me to change the layout of mine.
BTW, you mentioned about PPC, but didn’t see any ad on your site. How do you monetize this site? Just curious.
Oh, I think you already know that 3T sent me here.
Thanks.
Hey drt,
I don’t monetize this site with ads. I was talking from experience with some other niches I was in.
Tim, instead of trying to create seperate content for your blog and your email list, send the same thing to both. The majority of the customers out there still do not read blogs.
It’s hard to believe that since we are all in the blogging world, but it’s true. You want to grab your customers from as many angles as possible, but that does not mean that you have to reinvent the wheel every single time.

Thanks for the tips Derek!
Really like the “one page, one goal” idea, always good to be reminded to tie whatever i’m writing back into an achievable goal
