Red Light Green Light: Control Social Network Traffic
Red Light
Stop! If your blog is for personal use, to be shared with family and friends only, then don’t join any of the blog directories.
Yellow Light
Caution! A lot of eyes will be watching that grocery store bulletin board. Use common sense about how much personal information you make public.
But face it, if you post anything on the web, you are setting yourself up for criticism, bashing, or praise. Several teenagers have committed suicide because of bullying on MySpace. You can be ridiculed by your neighbors on rottenNeighbor. Women can trash a bad date on Don’t Date Him Girl.
Green Light
Go! Publicize your blog as much as possible to increase traffic. Whether you are blogging for fun, fame, or fortune, PUBLICIZE!

Hey Joe,
That is a great way of clearly breaking down different levels of social networking exposure.

An easy read that simplifies social networking and takes away the overwhelm. Nice job!

Thank you so much. My brain was scrambled from so much reading and trying to find my way around in the directores. This was my conclusion in the end.

For your online business to be a success you need thousands of website traffic hits. In fact, if you want it to be a big success you will need this everyday. Getting traffic and visitors to your site is essential for building your profit.
To get more website traffic hits you basically can either buy them through a program like Pay Per Click or generate them yourself for free. Generating them yourself will take considerable effort so be prepared to work hard.
The number of website traffic hits you get is directly proportional to the amount of money you make. Obviously, if you get thousands of people everyday to your website you are going to be able to sell it for a large some or sell advertising on it easily.

I forgot to add.
How do you get more website traffic visitors? There is 2 ways to do this. Pay for them or generate traffic to your site. Both methods work well so if you have started selling something on your site and started to make some money then you should consider generating more traffic for free and spending a bit on a Pay Per Click program.
If you are after a lot of website traffic visitors overnight then the best bet is to pay for some. This way you will get the traffic overnight. There really is no magic bullet when it comes to generating traffic.
Either you buy it or spend the time driving it to your site.
