Traffic Android

Name:Traffic Android

Media: Stand alone application (windows)

Before you Mac users start running from the hills, I know you all can run windows programs through various means and this application is one you really should be running. Read on if you are serious about making your social bookmarking a million time easier .

Social bookmarking has become an essential part of any good website creation procedure. An absolute must-do if you want your site to be picked up quickly by search engines and to start traffic rolling in. Because I am an absolute stickler for quality content creation I am going to assume you are too, and that you are proud to get your work out there for someone to see. I never bookmark crap nor should you.

There have been a few ways to do your social bookmarking up till now

• you can go to the websites yourself and manually enter in all the details one by one
• you can go to web based sites that will go through all of the sites, log you in and you still manually enter information
• you can outsource to a stranger and trust them to do it (and NOT use your log in details elsewhere)

All really time consuming, brain sapping solutions to an essential part of your business.

Then along comes Traffic Androidand BLAMMO! all I can say is hallelujah do I love automation.

You can see from the screenshot I did some pretty heavy duty testing before letting it loose on real sites. I wanted to ensure there was no damage to the account doing the bookmarking, or the sites being bookmarked. I obviously wouldn’t be writing this review if things went pear shaped now would I?

The thing that sets Traffic Androidapart form websites and outsourcing is the ability to schedule WHEN your sites are bookmarked. Traffic Android can be set up to a full 7 days in advance, which means that Google ‘disappearing act” you just know is coming for your new site can be bookmarked all the way through and pop back bigger and better than ever.

If a bookmark didn’t take you can review at any time via the tool and set it to run automatically again at a later time, or hit the immediate execute and complete. All that frustration of when a social bookmarking site is playing silly buggers is removed, no need to try and remember which site you did and which site you didn’t already do.

In short the money you spend on Traffic Android will be recouped in super fast time just in the hours you save fiddling around manually submitting (or paying some stranger to do). And real businesses use real business tools like these, real business owners will be using this to cut the costs as soon as they can get their hands on it.

Oh It’s True, It’s True

Been watching my tweets today? No? Well if you did you would have seen that I decided to do a speed run at doing the Thirty Day Challenge up to now in one day. If I am too slack to post each day, well i can do 12 days in one and post about it.

You might think something like  “She’s a witch! Burn Her!!”, or that I am insane, or both. Hard to tell at the moment with all of the cough medicine I have been taking.  Still it might seem a big deal to some people to try such lunacy but if you have a procedure you can do anything 10 time quicker than flailing around in the dark.

For 8 years I worked for IBM and in that time I wrote dozens of procedures. I wrote them for people who had no idea what they were doing, I wrote them for highly technical people, I wrote them for managers and I wrote them for people for whom English was a second language. Procedures rock, and this is coming from someone who gets off on chaos.

The Thirty Day Challenge lays out the steps so clearly and simply that once you have done it once, you can easily replicate again. Now I don’t expect a new person to all of this to be able to do what I did in one day, but you can definitely chop in half the time it took the first time, and the time after that probably halve again.

So what did I achieve?

7am started research using Market Samurai. I picked a high end market and drilled down to a three word micro niche.  Seriously with this tool you can pick ANY word and find a niche waiting for picking. That is just what i did, picked a word out of the air that I knew would like writing about. Simple.

Stats:  Searches 2433/SEOT 1021 SEOC < 50k cheated a little because I know I can  OCI 96%

The SEO page shows a lot of big name sites that you would probably know that sell or link to a page selling the physical item or a variation of it.  The parts of this table I personally thing are important are the BLP  (which the competition is sorely lacking in) and the BLEG (again lacking). The on page SEO title, URL etc I can kill easily having a blog set up, rather than an eCommerce site.

7:30am I bought the domain name. Now this might interest you, or it may not, but when I have a niche term that ends in an S (Market Samurai will tell which term is searched for more) naturally say like British Bulldogs I will buy a domain that goes like this www.britishbulldogsite.com . See what i did there? BOTH search terms british-bulldog and british-bulldogs are in the domain name. Google will usually be able to figure out plurals but I like to make absolutely sure that I am SEO ready for anywhere

8 am Dropped kids to bus stop while DNS resolved and returned to write content and eat breakfast

8:30am Blog is up using Wordpress Direct dead easy (though they still need to work on cleaning the crap out of their templates)

9 am starting sourcing affiliates from Share-a-Sale who I use for my affiliate testing stuff  (and a couple of sites that sell pretty well).  Like i said, this niche is a physical product and there were a few good affiliate deals that pay 10% or more on pretty high ticket items.

10 am Affiliate pretties added, site proof read again (to be sure, to be sure) and then the bookmarking began. I manually used Digg, which I have to admit is something i would NOT normally do, good content will mean that people will do this for you, but this was for speed … erk ends justifying the means was never my strong point, must pay back my social networking karma on that one . I also fired up Traffic Android (wait for tomorrow on that one *wink) and went to town.

11am BOOYAH!! Site is ranked 5 in broad match (I don’t really care about exact match because I look at #1 broad as THE goal). That’s the site, not any of the social bookmarks. so 4 hours from NOTHING to a top 5 raking. Shit hot stuff!

12 noon broke for lunch.

1pm Site moves to 4th in Google. I write more content and post a second story. Set off Traffic Android to bookmark second page in a couple of hours.

2pm Nap time…yep still sick and rest and fluids are important

4pm Wake up and check site.  Ranking is now 3 for domain name and 5 for first post awesome!

5pm read more stuff for content, spend some quality time with family and order dinner

6pm Write this blog post before going to create Squidoo page and Hub Page.

7pm Up to date with the Thirty day Challenge and have a site already dominating the search term in 12 hours.

Not a bad day all in all.  Yep, the goal is still the same with this one. Get it earning cash and then flog it off… which reminds me about a little thing i pointed out to my 30DC team mates about Market Samurai… but I will leave that post for another day.
