				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may be asking right now in your head, &#8220;How did so-and-so <strong>get twitter followers</strong> to his account?&#8221;</p>
<p>Why you&#8217;re asking that question correlates exactly to the headline that you just read:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;" data-mce-style="text-align: center;">Get more followers on Twitter!</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In today&#8217;s world, everyone wants it faster.</p>
<p>Faster food, faster driving, faster work, everything faster!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As the topic of discussion here is about getting more followers on Twitter, it is safe to assume that all of us want to <u>get twitter followers</u> faster.</p>
<p>But not at the cost of <strong>quality</strong> and <strong>reputation</strong>!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I wanted to share my thoughts on this subject and to help advise those looking to&nbsp;expand&nbsp;their influence on Twitter.</p>
<p>These methods of gaining more followers are absolutely safe from non-quality actions that will haunt your efforts on Twitter.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;" data-mce-style="text-align: center;">Read and learn how to get more followers on Twitter, faster!</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img title="get twitter followers" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6141" alt="pin it to pinterest by Internet Dreams" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/pin-it-to-pinterest.jpg" width="600" height="342" data-mce-src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/pin-it-to-pinterest.jpg"><br /> <img title="get twitter followers" class="tc-hover pin aligncenter" alt="Please re-pin! Get More Followers On Twitter Faster!" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/get-more-followers-on-twitter-350x350.jpg" width="350" height="350" data-fburl="CURRENT" data-tweeturl="CURRENT" data-tweet="" data-plusurl="CURRENT" data-linkedinurl="CURRENT" data-redditurl="CURRENT" data-diggurl="CURRENT" data-mce-src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/get-more-followers-on-twitter-350x350.jpg"></p>
<h3>Be Active on Twitter</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A fundamental rule in all of social media, no matter what it is, is your activity status.</p>
<p>Twitter or not.</p>
<p>As Facebook rolled with its new edgerank algorithm to moderate the quality aspect of the website, don’t be surprised that Twitter rolls around with its own similar “measuring stick” for the same thing.</p>
<p>The best step to be prepared to this is to be active on it from the start and have an active “lifestyle” of a true Twitter user.</p>
<p>A Twitter user that will <a title="3 Twitter Tools For You To Succeed On Twitter!" href="http://internetdreams.com/social-media/3-twitter-tools-to-succeed-on-twitter" data-mce-href="http://internetdreams.com/social-media/3-twitter-tools-to-succeed-on-twitter"><i>get more followers on Twitter</i></a>!</p>
<p>Put yourself in the shoes of an “interested” follower of yours and tell yourself this: “Why would I want to follow this quite tweeter, almost as if he’s dead!”</p>
<p>An active tweeter should have several things going for him in order to get twitter followers:</p>
<p><strong>One:</strong> The background image must be of his own and have a purpose in its design.</p>
<p>What I did for mine is design a background that encourages new followers to <a title="Download the Free eBook: “How to get Blog Traffic!”" href="http://internetdreams.com/download-free-ebook-blog-traffic" data-mce-href="http://internetdreams.com/download-free-ebook-blog-traffic">sign up for my free eBook about traffic</a>. Have a purpose in the design.</p>
<p>For example, encourage your new followers to sign up with their email for updates or have them follow other social sites that you are active on.</p>
<p>Same goes for the header image. Give them an “arrow” that focuses their attention to the follow button for one of the best converting profiles.</p>
<p><img title="get twitter followers" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6229" alt="please-share-article" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/please-share-article.jpg" width="600" height="200" data-mce-src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/please-share-article.jpg"></p>
<p><strong>Two:</strong> Your Twitter profile should be full of recent tweets that you just shared with your followers.</p>
<p>Have a profile that is full of relevant tweets and all of those that have been tweeted just after they see them.</p>
<p>This will prove to your new followers that you love to inform your followers and you own an “active” Twitter profile.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Use ManageFlitter</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://manageflitter.com/try/qnaTNgBg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-mce-href="http://manageflitter.com/try/qnaTNgBg">ManageFlitter</a> has been such a great help for me to get more followers on Twitter and continues to accrue even more followers as I write this!</p>
<p>If I were to say the best tool to use, overall, for your Twitter success, I would say ManageFlitter.</p>
<p>I love Mangaflitter so much and there is none around like it!</p>
<p>Here is how you can use it to get more followers on twitter:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;" data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;">Use the “Follow” feature to follow the right twitter users.</span></p>
<p>It is important to follow the right Tweeters in order to get a chance to gain him as the right follower in return.</p>
<p>In this part of <a href="http://manageflitter.com/try/qnaTNgBg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-mce-href="http://manageflitter.com/try/qnaTNgBg">ManageFlitter</a>, I would choose 5 or so top Twitter users that you follow closely and follow “his” own followers.</p>
<p>Watch and see how his followers start following you back, as you followed them just prior.</p>
<p>You will get more <i>follow backs</i> since these followers are more in the following “mood”.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;" data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;">Use the “Search” feature to follow twitter users based exactly on your interest.</span></p>
<p>If you don’t feel like following someone else’s followers, then the search feature is the thing for you.</p>
<p>Refine your search and write some keywords in the Bio field.</p>
<p>If you are an Internet Marketer, then your job is to search for Twitter users that have that keyword in their Bio.</p>
<p>Using the Bio field is probably the best option to use along with many other fields that can be a great help to search for even more targeted Tweeters.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://manageflitter.com/try/qnaTNgBg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-mce-href="http://manageflitter.com/try/qnaTNgBg">Manageflitter</a> isn’t only used to get more followers on Twitter. It can be a tool that schedules your tweets, analyzes almost everything you want about your profile, and manages the people you follow.</p>
<p>Overall, it is one of the best Twitter tools on the internet!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Tweet Different Kinds of Tweets</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Being successful on Twitter is just as hard as being successful with your blog or website.</p>
<p>As you add content to your blogs, your tweets that you tweet is the content addition you add to Twitter.</p>
<p>Adding all types of content to your blog is always going to yield better results than a blog that contains only text content.</p>
<p>Same goes with Twitter and the tweets that you add to your profile.</p>
<p>Tweet as many different types of tweets that will keep your followers interested.</p>
<p>Keeping their interest up will increase your chances of getting those retweets that any Twitter user “prizes”.</p>
<p>The more retweets that happen, the more you are going to <span style="text-decoration: underline;" data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;">get more followers on Twitter</span>.</p>
<p>Here are several types of tweets that will increase interest in your followers every time:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Pictured Tweets</strong></p>
<p><strong>Quoted Tweets</strong></p>
<p><strong>Questioned Tweets</strong></p>
<p><strong>Informational Tweets </strong>(Helpful Tweets with three or more sentences)</p>
<p><strong>Planned ReTweets&nbsp;</strong>(Using Buffer)</p>
<p><strong>Connection’s Posts Tweets</strong> (Your Connection’s Articles, Tweeted by you)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Create Engagement &amp; Add Follow &#8220;actions&#8221; to your Articles</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Before I explain to you guys what Follow “actions” are, let’s talk about engagement taking over the social media world as I speak to you.</p>
<p><img title="get twitter followers" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6229" alt="please-share-article" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/please-share-article.jpg" width="600" height="200" data-mce-src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/please-share-article.jpg"></p>
<p>Engagement isn’t only tweeting other articles you found around the internet or retweeting your connection’s article.</p>
<p>Yes, it does increase “awareness” from the peer, but only tweeting and adding tweets to your twitter account does not provide enough payments of full engagement.</p>
<p>The ultimate engagement “feature” of Twitter is, I think, the “@” you see all around.<br /> I encourage all Twitter users to use the feature much more often and create as much conversation as you can with it.</p>
<p>Conversation and conversing with your peers is the “golden” activity of engagement. Not very many do this type of engagement and the key that social media stands upon.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now about that Follow “action” you are thinking about, is a message to your blog visitors that you need them to follow you on Twitter.</p>
<p>It would be nice to give your blog visitors a chance for them to follow you on Twitter and help <em>get more followers on Twitte</em>r.</p>
<p>Add a Follow “action” to your article like this:</p>
<p><img title="get twitter followers" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6298" alt="get twitter followers" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/follow-action-twitter.jpg" width="550" height="142" data-mce-src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/follow-action-twitter.jpg"></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>See your followers increase according to the amount of traffic you are currently getting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Create Connections &amp; Friends on Twitter</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you have made connections or friends on Twitter, you have no problem getting retweets from these guys!</p>
<p>If you started a conversation before with another tweeter or if you have had more conversations with a specific person, then you might notice your friend tweeting/retweeting your stuff.</p>
<p>I know this since it happens to me all the time!</p>
<p>I once asked an influential tweeter with many followers if he could tweet out my newest article from the blog, and he gladly was willing to tweet it out to his followers.</p>
<p>Since then I and he have been gladly sharing each other’s content without asking each other to do so.</p>
<p>I mean, He has awesome tweets that I love to retweet anyways and a perfect example for me to learn from.</p>
<p>Now, a small connection has been created with him and I have other small connections that are gladly retweeting my stuff.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The four-step process of gaining a new connection!</p>
<p><b>Find, share, connect, and keep sharing.&nbsp;</b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Use JustRetweet</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Along our journey to accrue as many new followers to our Twitter account, we might find ourselves being demotivated due to the slow results that we least want to expect.</p>
<p>Not your fault since you may be following exactly my advice that I bestow in this article. It might not exactly work for you, exactly.</p>
<p><a href=" http://www.justretweet.com?a_aid=5186cd1d1c104" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-mce-href=" http://www.justretweet.com?a_aid=5186cd1d1c104"><img title="get twitter followers" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6171" alt="justretweet increases twitter followers" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/JustRetweet_300x250.jpg" width="300" height="250" data-mce-src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/JustRetweet_300x250.jpg"></a>What you may need is a boost in your working efforts.</p>
<p>A boost that will get you quality followers, just like that.</p>
<p>Recommended to get this boost is the use of JustRetweet.</p>
<p><a href=" http://www.justretweet.com?a_aid=5186cd1d1c104" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-mce-href=" http://www.justretweet.com?a_aid=5186cd1d1c104">JustRetweet</a> gathers a whole group of similar tweeters and they will retweet your tweets for a payment in credits.</p>
<p>No worries, JustRetweet users won’t retweet you low quality retweets that won’t yield awesome results.</p>
<p>JustRetweet is a platform intended for the quality sharing of tweets that you add to the platform.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Based on a credit system, you can easily use your funds to get more followers on Twitter.</p>
<p>Some of us have more money on our side, which is always a positive element in your quest to <em>get twitter followers</em>.</p>
<p>Money or not,&nbsp;<a href=" http://www.justretweet.com?a_aid=5186cd1d1c104" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-mce-href=" http://www.justretweet.com?a_aid=5186cd1d1c104">JustRetweet</a> will get you more traffic and more of what we want right now, followers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Create a Twitter Sharing Group</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Create a twitter group that will have each member retweeting your specific link.</p>
<p>Like I said before, the more retweets you receive, the more eyes you will get to your profile.</p>
<p>Those eyes that are lain on your profile, some of those will be turned into your newest followers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Gather a group of interested people that are well active on Twitter everyday.</p>
<p>Be notified that not all high influential people on Twitter are going to be willing to join your little sharing group.</p>
<p>That is why you message and gather those Twitter users that have similar intentions as you and are similar in how much you rank on Twitter, ranking via the amount of followers and tweets.</p>
<p>Create a social, caring community using this small group and expand to other social media sites for more results.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Use Triberr</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As you create your new article on your blog and publish it, you see a large number in the tweet counter on your article right after you publish.</p>
<p>That is wonderful view to have and you know in your mind that because of that large number, the followers will roll in as well.</p>
<p>I didn’t have this happen to me from what I described above.</p>
<p><img title="get twitter followers" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6229" alt="please-share-article" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/please-share-article.jpg" width="600" height="200" data-mce-src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/please-share-article.jpg"></p>
<p>But as of recently, I am starting to see higher numbers in my Twitter counter just as soon as I publish a new article on Internet Dreams.</p>
<p>It’s because of my decision to join targeted tribes on <a href="http://triberr.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-mce-href="http://triberr.com/">Triberr</a>.</p>
<p>Triberr is a really huge community of bloggers that gather together in tribes to share each other’s content that they just published on their own blogs.</p>
<p>Included in the sharing are many tweets that they are tweeting to their own profiles.</p>
<p>Get your content known on Twitter and get twitter followers in the process as well, by joining <a href="http://triberr.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-mce-href="http://triberr.com/">Triberr</a>.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have a blog setup yet, my friend Ehsan has the perfect guide for you:&nbsp;<a title="starting a blog" href="http://www.guideandnews.com/starting-a-blog" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.guideandnews.com/starting-a-blog">Starting a Blog</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Follow relevant and active Tweeters</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You need to be very active on Twitter in order to <strong>get more followers on Twitter</strong>.</p>
<p>On your part, you have to be active.</p>
<p>No questions; as well as others that want to gain more followers from it.</p>
<p>If you are doing exactly what is being recommended in order to be considered “active”; if you are the only one doing it by yourself, don’t expect to see a large number of new followers for your account.</p>
<p>Twitter is a social media site where connections are made and connections that should benefit each other.</p>
<p>Following and becoming part of an active circle of friends is the key to getting more followers.</p>
<p>If you are solo, then Twitter won’t much help to you unfortunately.</p>
<p>Gaining new fans and followers is out of the question!</p>
<p>Follow and learn from active users; they will show you a way to get more followers on your twitter profile and get more fans for your website.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Sponsor a Contest</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Again with this point, if you are looking to get more followers with the money you have, sponsoring a contest is probably the best ways to do so.</p>
<p>Find a relevant blogger who is looking to setup a contest and offer him a deal for you to become his sponsor.</p>
<p>Sponsoring a contest will put your blog’s name out there for those joining the contest, to see.</p>
<p>If you are going to sponsor one anytime soon, make it necessary that your Twitter profile link be displayed where the contest is being hosted.</p>
<p>With your Twitter link displayed right where the contest is held you will be getting the most needed exposure for your purpose: to <span style="text-decoration: underline;" data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;">get more followers on Twitter</span>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is your only stop on the internet where you will find such a large, detailed guide to increase traffic to your website!</p>
<p>I have not yet seen a guide where it lists so many effective traffic generation techniques, never mind a detailed explanation of each one!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Many, many methods in this traffic guide are quality methods that will increase traffic to your website and ones I even use!</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/?attachment_id=6141" rel="attachment wp-att-6141"><img title="increase website traffic for free" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6141" alt="pin it to pinterest by Internet Dreams" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/pin-it-to-pinterest.jpg" width="600" height="342" /></a></p>
<p><img title="increase website traffic for free" class="tc-hover pin  aligncenter" alt="increase traffic to your website" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/increase-traffic-to-your-website.jpg" width="500" height="333" data-fburl="CURRENT" data-tweeturl="CURRENT" data-tweet="" data-plusurl="CURRENT" data-linkedinurl="CURRENT" data-redditurl="CURRENT" data-diggurl="CURRENT" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since is it a very long article, let&#8217;s not take up more time from what is really important today.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>1. Guest Blogging</strong></h5>
<p>To get the most &#8220;bang for your buck&#8221; type of results for traffic is to invest in work that will bring in traffic directly and in the future by SEO.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">This is Guest Blogging.</span></p>
<p>Write the best shit you can and link back to some of your best articles on your blog through the guest article.</p>
<p>You are working smartly since you are getting direct traffic and building the best type of links for your traffic through Google.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>2. Long Tail Keywords</strong></h5>
<p>SEO for the beginner or even the intermediate &#8220;aged&#8221; site is all about how to rank for those long tail keywords.</p>
<p>Long tail keywords have many more words to itself and usually contains a &#8220;main&#8221; keyword in there.</p>
<p><strong>Increase traffic to your website</strong> for free by targeting long tail keywords.</p>
<p>It is completely free to use long tail keywords if you haven&#8217;t noticed already.</p>
<p><a title="increase traffic to your website" href="http://www.internetdreams.com">Sign up for the free eBook: &#8220;How to get Blog Traffic&#8221;</a> where I explain exactly how to find and rank for these types of keywords.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>3. Have a Better Blog Design</strong></h5>
<p>This technique doesn&#8217;t directly bring in your traffic but it is just as important as it would.</p>
<p>Great design of a website will improve your website traffic overall.</p>
<p>Absolutely!</p>
<p>Great design has a much more impressive look to the visitor, thus increasing your chances of retaining that visitor to help you bring in more traffic.</p>
<p>If you own a blog, here are the <a title="My Review of What Internet Dreams Uses: Beatheme" href="http://internetdreams.com/reviews/my-review-of-beatheme">best themes around that I have used for Internet Dreams</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>4. Create Targeted Social Media Engagement</strong></h5>
<p>Again, this doesn&#8217;t <strong>directly</strong> increase traffic to your website.</p>
<p>But it definitely increases the &#8220;<strong>chances</strong>&#8221; of <em>increasing traffic to your website</em> through social media.</p>
<p>More engagement of social media equals more amounts of increased traffic back to your website.</p>
<p><a title="Free eBook: How to get more Blog Traffic!" href="http://internetdreams.com/traffic/free-ebook-blog-traffic">Grab my free eBook</a> where I explain how to create the best engagement on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest.</p>
<p>The top 4.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>5. Join a Social Group</strong></h5>
<p>Contact and message 5 or 7 bloggers in your niche and present them the &#8220;awesome&#8221; idea of sharing each other&#8217;s content via their own social profiles.</p>
<p>If are able to gather that many interested bloggers, expect a very good boost in social media traffic.</p>
<p>If you are a beginner, I highly recommend joining a small group of sharers in order to see a boost in your traffic and improve your website  traffic.</p>
<p>This is still talked about in the eBook.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>6. Build Higher Quality Links</strong></h5>
<p>No more are the links that can be built from anywhere and expect to get your article &#8220;ranked&#8221; high.</p>
<p>Google has grown much fussier with what kinds of links a webmaster creates.</p>
<p>Quality is the &#8220;key&#8221; in the SEO world and Google&#8217;s main agent of change in all the updates in the SEO world.</p>
<p>Guest blogging, blog commenting, contextual links, natural links, and so on is going increase your website traffic for free from Google.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>7. Join Triberr</strong></h5>
<p>Right when you hit the publish button on your blog to your next blog post, you should be expecting right away a good number of Tweets and shares onto Facebook.</p>
<p>But you&#8217;re not!</p>
<p>But I am here to fix that for you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://triberr.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Join Triberr</a>, where many other similar bloggers are willing to Tweet and share to many other social media sites, your newest piece of content right away!</p>
<p>Just join a few quality tribes there and contribute your share of sharing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>8. Use more Hashtags</strong></h5>
<p>Hashtags are really underrated, especially as it was in my book.</p>
<p>But boy was I wrong since I really became serious in using them religiously in 2013!</p>
<p>Twitter and Google+ both use hashtags and your part in this is to capture the most &#8220;trendiest&#8221; hashtags for your<strong> increase of traffic to your website</strong>.</p>
<p>For future use, save (capture) the best hashtags in a simple text file on your computer for easy use.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>9. Write an eBook</strong></h5>
<p>This is one of those techniques to increase traffic to your website that no one really wants to do.</p>
<p>Atleast it was for me.</p>
<p>I know this for a fact since I did create my first eBook and now have seen the large amount of hard work that goes into one!</p>
<p>I was hesitant in creating a eBook and now realize I should have created one earlier.</p>
<p>EBooks are one of the best ways to gather emails which in turn, improves your website traffic.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>10. <em>Pinterestify</em> your Article and its Images!</strong></h5>
<p>I best you have never heard of this before. Especially for increasing website traffic!</p>
<p>This is only found on Internet Dreams!</p>
<p>Pinterestifying your article means you have the perfect call to action for every image to be pinned to Pinterest!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">This is how you do it:</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1. Grab the <a href="http://codecanyon.net/item/social-image-hover-for-wordpress/2270775?ref=webtolight" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Social Image Hover</a> plugin to make the pinterest button appear authomatically over the image</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://http://codecanyon.net/item/social-image-hover-for-wordpress/2270775?ref=webtolight"><img title="increase website traffic for free" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6140" alt="social image hover" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/socialimagehover.jpg" width="450" height="229" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. Create an image that &#8220;visually&#8221; appeals to the reader to &#8220;pin it to Pinterest&#8221;.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here, you can use this image I have created for Internet Dreams. Use it for free on your own blog and save it onto your computer for as many times as you need it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/pin-it-to-pinterest.jpg"><img title="increase website traffic for free" class="aligncenter  wp-image-6141" alt="pin it to pinterest by Internet Dreams" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/pin-it-to-pinterest.jpg" width="420" height="239" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>11. Google Plus Communities</strong></h5>
<p>If you are not getting enough traffic from Google+, please use and contribute to the communities on Google+.</p>
<p>Google+ communities are excellent sources of traffic to<strong> increase traffic to your website</strong>.</p>
<p>Make sure you don&#8217;t post into them without some sort of contribution or engagement you do for them, no matter how small.</p>
<p>Again, don&#8217;t forget to use the right <strong>hashtags</strong> when you are posting in the communities as well.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>12. Gain more followers using ManageFlitter</strong></h5>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://manageflitter.com/try/qnaTNgBg"><img title="increase website traffic for free" class="size-full wp-image-6163 alignnone" alt="manageflitter increase website traffic" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/manageflitter-468x60-v3-50-ways-to-increase-traffic.jpg" width="468" height="60" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Believe it or not, gaining followers on Twitter has resulted in many visits from Twitter for me.</p>
<p>Without the help of following the best targeted tweeters with <a href="http://manageflitter.com/try/qnaTNgBg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Manageflitter</a>, there wouldn&#8217;t be as much traffic from Twitter.</p>
<p>When I follow certain tweeters, some of them will follow back and be interested in my profile.</p>
<p>They will click through the link on my Twitter profile to check out my blog, Internet Dreams, and maybe subscribe to me via email.</p>
<p><a href="http://manageflitter.com/try/qnaTNgBg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ManageFlitter</a> will help you make following easier and as targeted as you want it to be.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>13. Strategic Blog Commenting</strong></h5>
<p>Blog commenting is one of the oldest forms of traffic generation and one technique even the beginners know about right from the get go.</p>
<p>They do have knowledge that blog commenting can be used to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">increase website traffic for free</span>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Strategic commenting is best form of blog commenting and should be your way of commenting form now on.</p>
<p>Try to place your comment in the top 5 and see how the traffic comes in when you do so.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>14. Create important Connections </strong></h5>
<p>Important connections will get you traffic.</p>
<p>Those connections will help increase your traffic directly by directing some of their own traffic to your blog.</p>
<p>Be a great networker and you will receive more traffic from them via many  possible channels.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>15. Interview a &#8220;Respectable&#8221; Person</strong></h5>
<p>You should be able to know how this point will help you get more traffic.</p>
<p>Sure, now that person knows you exists and you are working hard on your own blog.</p>
<p>But the most important part in all of this is the traffic that he will direct to your article because he was interviewed</p>
<p>Engage and interact with that person first, then email them mentioning the possibility of interviewing them on your own blog.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>16. Write a &#8220;Controversial&#8221; Article</strong></h5>
<p>Controversy always draws attention.</p>
<p>If two people were fighting on the street and you were walking by, your head would be turned all the way towards them, all that time while you walk by.</p>
<p>We are humans and we are curious in that way.</p>
<p>Create controversy only if you are able to back it up and you are respectful of any person you are involving in the discussion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>17. Facebook</strong></h5>
<p>Facebook is the best social media site on this planet.</p>
<p><em>Increase traffic to your website</em> by using the quality Facebook groups, <a title="Get More Facebook Likes For Your Facebook Page!" href="http://internetdreams.com/social-media/get-facebook-likes-for-facebook-page">building up your Facebook page likes</a>, and creating engagement that you create on your wall and the Facebook page wall as well.</p>
<p>Images work really well and I try to add atleast three or so images to my profile and the Fanpage wall every day.</p>
<p>Add targeted people as friends and always message them with a message that positively encourages them to like your Facebook page.</p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/facebook-friend-connection-message.jpg"><img title="increase website traffic for free" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6192" alt="facebook friend connection message" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/facebook-friend-connection-message.jpg" width="469" height="257" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>18. Twitter</strong></h5>
<p>I have shown you guys one of the <strong>unique</strong> ways to grab traffic from Twitter, and it was by following new people and getting them to visit your blog via your profile links.</p>
<p>In order to retain those followers, make sure your account is full of awesome, <a title="Top Tweets That You Should Be Tweeting On Twitter!" href="http://internetdreams.com/social-media/top-tweets-on-twitter">top tweets</a>.</p>
<p>Tweet as often as you can without being way to frequent.</p>
<p>Engage with as many other tweeters and you may have them become a visitor to your blog!</p>
<p>The <a title="Free eBook: How to get more Blog Traffic!" href="http://internetdreams.com/traffic/free-ebook-blog-traffic">free Ebook on traffic</a> has this part covered pretty well.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img title="increase website traffic for free" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6229" alt="please-share-article" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/please-share-article.jpg" width="600" height="200" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>19. Write a large &#8220;List&#8221; Article</strong></h5>
<p>Write an article that sorta looks like this one you are reading.</p>
<p>You know what I decided to create this article?</p>
<p>Yes, that&#8217;s right! I did for the purpose of <em>increasing my traffic</em>!</p>
<p>Of course, I also wrote this article to help you guys out with your traffic and succeed out there on the internet!</p>
<p>Also, list posts tend to be shared more often and in turn you will receive more traffic back.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>20. Focus only on Two or Three Methods</strong></h5>
<p>You might already know all of these methods of increasing traffic to your website!</p>
<p>But what boggles your mind is how you are still not getting enough traffic.</p>
<p>No worries, this is my latest predicament that I am facing with traffic, if I ever had one.</p>
<p>What has helped me is, pick three or so traffic methods and stick with those three no matter what.</p>
<p>Focusing on too many techniques is not always good for you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>21. Use JustRetweet</strong></h5>
<p><a href=" http://www.justretweet.com?a_aid=5186cd1d1c104" rel="nofollow">JustRetweet</a> is an online platform where many other like-minded bloggers join this website to retweet each other&#8217;s tweets.</p>
<p>If you are still, to this point, looking for more traffic from Twitter, give JustRetweet a try.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href=" http://www.justretweet.com?a_aid=5186cd1d1c104"><img title="increase website traffic for free" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6171" alt="justretweet increase website traffic" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/JustRetweet_300x250.jpg" width="300" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can be on JustRetweet for free while you can earn credits by retweeting other tweets to your own Twitter account.</p>
<p>If you are looking to have only others retweet your stuff, then there is an option to buy credits and pay a retweeter with them.</p>
<p>Either or <a href=" http://www.justretweet.com?a_aid=5186cd1d1c104" rel="nofollow">JustRetweet </a>will always <em>improve website traffic</em> and the social &#8220;awareness&#8221; of your post.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>22. Google+</strong></h5>
<p>The best way to get traffic from Google+ is to add as many targeted users to your circles.</p>
<p>I usually make a list of users (in a plain text file) I follow and check back later to see if they added me back.</p>
<p>If not, they are unfollowed by me.</p>
<p>Again, share relevant information on your account such as images and important quotes as much as you can and have as many people on there share your statuses to their own profiles.</p>
<p>Engagement is key yet again!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>23. Host a Contest</strong></h5>
<p>If you have sufficient funds to host a contest on your blog, it is one of the best traffic generation techniques in the book.</p>
<p>Contests are loved by people everywhere, no matter where it is. Online or Offline.</p>
<p>Have them opt into your email list or have them follow or like your social profiles.</p>
<p>Always convert the traffic that comes to your blog via the contest into some sort of follow either on your email list (recommended one) or on social media.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>24. Write a &#8220;How To&#8221; Article</strong></h5>
<p>&#8220;How To&#8221; articles always stick well with your visitors and my visitors too.</p>
<p>A couple of my &#8220;How To&#8221; articles are ranking well in Google and bringing me everyday a decent amount of traffic from Google.</p>
<p>It seems that Google loves these types of articles as much as the people that read them!</p>
<p>My <a title="How To Write A Good Article!" href="http://internetdreams.com/article-writing/how-to-write-a-good-article">How To Write A Good Article</a> is a prime example of a &#8220;How To&#8221; article.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>25. Quality SEO</strong></h5>
<p>In this section of this how to <em>increase traffic to your website</em> article, we are not directly talking about long tail keywords since we have already briefly touched on it.</p>
<p>In general SEO that you do, remember to read and inform yourself with what quality methods Google loves.</p>
<p>Google, with all of its updates, is giving us the smaller guys a chance to <strong>rank higher</strong> in the search engine.</p>
<p>I personally recommend all of your <a title="The Best SEO Tools I Recommend!" href="http://internetdreams.com/seo/best-seo-tools">SEO practices</a>  be done manually with a bit of automation that will always keep &#8220;quality&#8221; in mind.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s SEO is all about <em>quality</em> and <em>&#8220;natural-looking&#8221;</em> link building.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>26. Pinterest</strong></h5>
<p>For <a title="You Want To Use Pinterest Like A Pro?" href="http://internetdreams.com/social-media/you-want-to-use-pinterest-like-a-pro">Pinterest</a>, I would encourage any person on there to Pin and Re-Pin as many &#8220;targeted&#8221; images as possible.</p>
<p>Create separate boards where you will be re-pinning other images from other Pinterest users while you have your own boards for your own pins.</p>
<p>Pinterest has its own SEO properties that will increase the &#8220;authority&#8221; of its links and pass over some SEO juice to your blog.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>27. Write Longer Content</strong></h5>
<p>This article is a perfect example of how a piece of content can be really long.</p>
<p><em>Could be the longest on Internet Dreams!</em></p>
<p>If you target a long tail keyword and you increase the word length of the article, the chances that Google will rank your article at the number one spot are in your favor.</p>
<p>Even Neil Patel mentions in his informative <a href="http://www.quicksprout.com/2012/12/20/the-science-behind-long-copy-how-more-content-increases-rankings-and-conversions/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">article on this subject</a> that longer pieces of his own content has generated more social shares and ranked higher than the short ones.</p>
<p>Now that is a perfect opportunity to improve website traffic!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>28. Add your Article to Pligg sites</strong></h5>
<p>Pligg sites are sites where a user will vote on your piece of content, if they feel like it and are inclined to do so.</p>
<p>This is where your headlines has to &#8220;grab&#8221; their attention and the more votes you receive, the better chances of your article appearing in the top section.</p>
<p>Top pligg sites I personally use are <a href="http://bloginteract.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">bloginteract</a>, <a href="http://www.blokube.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">blokube</a>, and <a href="http://www.bizsugar.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">bizsugar</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>29. Use the Correct Plugins</strong></h5>
<p>Whether it be SEO plugins or Social Media plugins, having <a title="Top WordPress Plugins To Reach The Top!" href="http://internetdreams.com/wordpress/top-wordpress-plugins">top wordpress plugins</a> at your disposal is the key to building that large house!</p>
<p>Using the correct plugins will increase your traffic count just as it as done for me. I still think I don&#8217;t have enough tools to build the blog I want!</p>
<p>But eventually I will get the right amount I need.</p>
<p>Improve website traffic through these top plugins I use and recommend:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://457dcrq5v9-7hb0fje-nno7dts.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ULTIMATE50WAYSINCTRAFFIC" rel="nofollow"><img title="increase website traffic for free" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6178" alt="468x60_2" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/468x60_2.jpg" width="468" height="60" /></a></p>

<h5><a rel="nofollow" href="http://fe67bqjwwlu2j684lx0lw57bou.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ULTIMATE50WAYSINCTRAFFIC" rel="nofollow"><img title="increase website traffic for free" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6180" alt="keyword-winner468" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/keyword-winner468.jpg" width="468" height="58" /></a></h5>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>30. Do your On-Page SEO optimization correctly</strong></h5>
<p>I am going to mention here what I have mentioned in my <a title="Free eBook: How to get more Blog Traffic!" href="http://internetdreams.com/traffic/free-ebook-blog-traffic">free eBook</a>: <strong>Don&#8217;t ever slack on this SEO practice! Ever!</strong></p>
<p>For a while I was, till I was able to get <a href="http://457dcrq5v9-7hb0fje-nno7dts.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ULTIMATE50WAYSINCTRAFFIC" rel="nofollow">SEOPressor</a>.</p>
<p>Till then, I was doing it all manually and soon was tired of always doing it manually.</p>
<p>SEOPressor is so awesome, it&#8217;s like a personal assistant right next to you, recommending what needs to be done for on-page optimization!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>31. Be more Personal in your Articles </strong></h5>
<p>The style of many articles that I have read throughout this niche, and likely to happen in the others,  don&#8217;t contain one bit of personality in them.</p>
<p>Just watch the amount of sharing you see being done via the social buttons on those posts that have been written uniquely and some form of personal touch being added to it from that respective blogger.</p>
<p>Tell me which one will increase traffic to your website!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>32. Have very Clear &#8220;Call to Actions&#8221; throughout the Article</strong></h5>
<p>Clear &#8220;Call to Actions&#8221; will motivate the reader to do some sharing on what they are reading.</p>
<p>The advice is common about the &#8220;Call to Action&#8221; being placed directly at the end of the article, it saying some sort of &#8220;Please share and spread the love on your Facebook, Twitter, and so on&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>What I recommend is placing it throughout the article while they are reading which will encourage them to share at an earlier point than share the article at the end of their reading.</p>
<p><strong>Do you notice my &#8220;Call to Actions&#8221; throughout this article?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>33. Yahoo answers</strong></h5>
<p>Scoop up as many questions as you can relating to what you are writing about on your blog, and help those people who are asking them.</p>
<p>Be as helpful as possible and be prepared to answer them with a link to an article on your blog that would continue to help them moving forward.</p>
<p>You will <span style="text-decoration: underline;">increase website traffic for free</span> from Yahoo Answers, even if it won&#8217;t be much from there.</p>
<p>But remember, they are high quality leads and some big  traffic to capture on your blog!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>34. Squidoo</strong></h5>
<p>Traffic can be directed back to your website via the many Squidoo lenses on Squidoo itself.</p>
<p>Squidoo lenses can have a positive effect on your SEO rankings and help get you better rankings just because the links that are linking back to your articles are more &#8220;Authorative&#8221; to Google.</p>
<p>Create engaging Squidoo lenses and spend minimal time in creating them just because it is more important to create content for your own blog.</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t forget about Squidoo either in your spare time!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>35. Stumbleupon</strong></h5>
<p>Again, if you are looking to improve website traffic on your own blog, engaging on certain social media sites is the only way in order to grow traffic from Social Media.</p>
<p>Stumble your way through Stumbleupon and like certain pages you feel that need to be liked throughout the time you spend online.</p>
<p>Through the social group you have joined or created, boost each other&#8217;s follower count by following each other&#8217;s Stumbleupon account and have each other like each other&#8217;s own articles.</p>
<p>Stumbleupon, I heard, isn&#8217;t like it was in the past, but it isn&#8217;t dead yet either. Use it!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>36. Forum Posting</strong></h5>
<p>The more you post in a forum the more you are going to get noticed in that forum.</p>
<p>Always add a link in the signature back to your blog for anyone who has taken notice and decided to learn more about what you know.</p>
<p>Keep consistently posting in that specific forum and the links that point back to your blog are important for your blog&#8217;s rankings in Google.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>37. Sponsor a Contest</strong></h5>
<p>Sponsoring a contest is an opportunity to increase traffic to your website by adding your banner or link of your blog to the contest&#8217;s main page located anywhere outside of your website.</p>
<p>This will jump start the traffic to that day drastically!</p>
<p>Also for the amount of time the contest is live.</p>
<p>Your best bet with this method is to capture the traffic directly as subscribers via a<a href="www.internetdreams.com"> landing page</a> on your blog.</p>
<p>Capturing them as social fans somewhere on social media is also a wise choice.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>38. Solo Ads</strong></h5>
<p>Capturing emails is like capturing the traffic that came to your blog and making sure they come again as traffic in the future.</p>
<p>Create a high-converting landing page on your blog and have the majority of new traffic stop by there.</p>
<p>Solo ads help increase your subscriber count and the traffic to your website.</p>
<p>First, research thoroughly the nature of solo ads and then test each solo ad at a lower risk.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>39. Gain more &#8220;Authority&#8221; Links</strong></h5>
<p>Authority links can be gained from guest blogging on those &#8220;popular&#8221; blogs.</p>
<p><a title="15 Ways To Build Links For SEO The Easy Way!" href="http://internetdreams.com/seo/15-ways-to-build-links-for-seo-the-easy-way"> Gaining web links</a> from more &#8220;established&#8221; sites on the internet is also a recommended option.</p>
<p>If your articles can be mentioned and linked to, from higher respected sources, then Google will be more favorable in their rankings of your website.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>40. Article Swapping </strong></h5>
<p>Article swapping is very similar to guest blogging but there is a little tweak to this one.</p>
<p>Guest blogging is giving away your only article while article swapping is receiving another article in return from the host.</p>
<p>Article swapping has a little more benefits than guest blogging but it happens much, much less often.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>41. Create YouTube Videos</strong></h5>
<p>If you are an internet marketer, there should not exist, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have any <a title="10 YouTube Videos Every Blogger Should See!" href="http://internetdreams.com/youtube/10-youtube-videos-every-blogger-should-see">videos on YouTube</a>!&#8221; coming from your mouth.</p>
<p>Even if you &#8220;suck&#8221; being on camera or just hate doing videos, you should still create them no matter what.</p>
<p>Overtime, you will find them much easier to do and create.</p>
<p>Ask a person who has had succeeded <a href="http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBlqK3nhKhw6aSzwonpsz-A/videos?flow=grid&amp;view=0">on YouTube</a> and they will tell you the same words I said.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>42. Facebook Ads</strong></h5>
<p>Advertising will always increase traffic to your website, no matter what. You just need the right amount of funds.</p>
<p>Advertising your Facebook page for likes is the best way to utilize these ads to your advantage.</p>
<p>Gaining more likes on your Facebook page may result in getting even more likes which in turn helps get traffic to your website from there.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>43. Submit your RSS feed to RSS Directories</strong></h5>
<p>Submitting your Blog&#8217;s RSS feed to RSS directories is offering many other blogs the possibility of publishing the same article on their own blog.</p>
<p>I recommend to increase traffic to your website by signing up to a few quality RSS directories and submitting your blog&#8217;s RSS feed on there.</p>
<p>Here is a<a href="http://www.toprankblog.com/rss-blog-directories/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> perfect list of RSS directories</a> for you to refer to.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>44. Build an Email list</strong></h5>
<p>Offer a free eBook or new article updates to a new reader via the sign up box from <a href="http://1f0f5ht93nu5r2xkyesbtjs7a9.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ULTIMATE50WAYSINCTRAFFIC" rel="nofollow">Optin Skin</a>.</p>
<p><a title="How To Make An Email List!" href="http://internetdreams.com/blogging/how-to-make-an-email-list">Building an email list</a> is a requirement of every internet entrepreneur and the more content you give away, the better chances he has to receive more emails.</p>
<p>Your own email list is like your own traffic source, no matter what happens with your rankings or on your blog.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>45. Give away Freebies in the Article</strong></h5>
<p>People love freebies and I also love them too!</p>
<p>Offer freebies to your readers as long as they do their part in sharing that specific article.</p>
<p>Freebies that are not expensive to your pocket and ones that are really relevant in your specific niche are the best promotional freebies to use.</p>
<p>Plus, all the sharing they do will notify many of their own followers and they will come over to get their hands on it too.</p>

<h5><strong>46. Create an Event or Webinar</strong></h5>
<p>Since we talked about how important it is to build an email list for your blog, this method of increasing traffic to your website is also so important.</p>
<p>Webinars require a new interested person to sign up with their email in order to participate in the meeting.</p>
<p>This way, you are able to gather more emails to your list.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s nice about an event or webinar are the higher sign up rates that occur due to the closing of time that goes before the actual event.</p>
<p>People know that time is running out before the webinar starts, thus encouraging them to sign up right away before they forget.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>47. Use Tumblr &amp; Instagram</strong></h5>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://instagram.com/webtolight" rel="nofollow"><img title="increase website traffic for free" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6194" alt="follow Internet Dreams on Instagram" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/follow-instagram-309x350.jpg" width="309" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Tumblr and <a href="http://instagram.com/webtolight" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a> have grow in number of users in the last few years, quite a bit.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s because images are well enjoyed on the internet and a very important element to be used in your social media engagement.</p>
<p>To improve your website&#8217;s traffic, grab a few awesome images and share them on Instagram or if you prefer, Tumblr.</p>
<p>If you need a little help leveraging Instagram in your favor, visit &#8220;<a title="Permanent Link to How to Effectively Leverage Instagram in Your Marketing Efforts" href="http://internetdreams.com/social-media/how-to-effectively-leverage-instagram-in-your-marketing-efforts" rel="bookmark">How to Effectively Leverage Instagram in Your Marketing Efforts</a>&#8220;.</p>
<h5></h5>
<h5><strong>48. Speed up your Website</strong></h5>
<p>Google loves fast-loading websites and tends to rank the faster ones higher than the slower ones.</p>
<p>To check your blog&#8217;s speed, visit <a href="http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">pingdom</a>.</p>
<p>Create a faster website, if it is slow, and expect better rankings for your website&#8217;s SEO.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>49. Link to Other posts and Contact the Author</strong></h5>
<p>Every article you write, make it a habit to link to three or so other &#8220;related&#8221; articles in your niche.</p>
<p>After you do so, contact the author of that linked article and tell him you have linked to his article.</p>
<p>While you are right at it, tell him how wonderful his article is and how it is helping your own audience with supplemented information.</p>
<p>You may never know if he will link in return just because you linked first.</p>
<p>Here is an example of a post where I linked to many other articles and emailed all of those article authors about it:</p>
<p><a title="Permanent Link to 50 Social Media Articles You Haven’t Read Yet!" href="http://internetdreams.com/social-media/50-social-media-articles-you-havent-read-yet">50 Social Media Articles You Haven’t Read Yet!</a></p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" title="50 social media articles" href="http://internetdreams.com/social-media/50-social-media-articles-you-havent-read-yet"><img title="increase website traffic for free" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6198" alt="linking to other articles example" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/linking-other-articles-example.jpg" width="250" height="167" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>50. Email bloggers, <em>respectively</em>, for their Help</strong></h5>
<p>Always consider to be respectful and considerate when you decide to increase traffic to your website using this method.</p>
<p>If you have created and published an important article on your own website, email certain bloggers and ask them for their opinion first.</p>
<p>After gaining some sort of initial trust, carefully ask him to share the article on his own personal social media profiles.</p>
<p>You have now used this method to increase traffic to your website for free, all through a simple email and a small offer to the other blogger.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>You thought there are only 50 of them!</strong></p>
<p><strong>But nope, I accidentally added an extra method of traffic generation while writing this article.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Not wanting it to go to waste, you guys now have:</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>A Bonus!</strong></h3>
<h5><strong>51. Buy Banner Ads </strong></h5>
<p>Banner advertising is only effective if the custom graphic grabs the attention of internet user and it is designed effectively.</p>
<p>Try to create some sort of flashy banner that solves a niche-related problem, and post that banner as an advertisement on a high-traffic blog.</p>
<p><a href="http://buysellads.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">BuySellAds</a> is a perfect service to find the right blogs to advertise your banner.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Increase traffic to your website instantly and be amazed at what all of these traffic generation methods can do for you!</p>

<p>It&#8217;s about time I focused and take Internet Dream&#8217;s to the next level!</p>
<p>Internet Dreams needed its own free eBook.</p>
<p>Internet Dreams needs to be able to give something away for free and prove itself to the many visitors that come over and stop by.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>This eBook will help you get traffic!</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I took my brain and zoned in on what I need to do to create the eBook.</p>
<p>I took days away from the normal hustle I do for the blog and put the hustle into creating the eBook.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_6059" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 476px"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/picture002.jpg"><img title="" class="size-medium wp-image-6059" alt="" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/picture002-466x350.jpg" width="466" height="350" /></a>
<p class="wp-caption-text">Me while writing the eBook</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>It has been very hard and the work was so much.</strong></p>
<p>But it&#8217;s worth it!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I learned so much from creating this eBook and how to work with Word, believe it or not.</p>
<p>I did mistakes along the way and the eBook is still not completely the way I want it.</p>
<p>But this is life and we cannot always want things the way we want them to.</p>
<p>The important part in all of this I gained some experience and knowledge  and now I am ready to create an even better eBook next time!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Why did you choose that title to the eBook? </strong></p>
<p>Thanks for asking and something I can keep talking and talking about.</p>
<p>The most important reason I created an eBook about traffic is because plainly we all need traffic all the time!</p>
<p>Traffic can be a tricky game to play with.</p>
<p>But with this eBook, you can accomplish the task of driving traffic as much as you want.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When it comes to creating an eBook, always create an eBook that will help solve a visitor&#8217;s problem.</p>
<p>The problem I thought of is not getting enough traffic and the struggle that comes with it.</p>
<p>Those eBooks will be downloaded the most and you will receive many more signups!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5>I am happy to finish the eBook and share the love.</h5>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">Share the love around on:</h5>
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Facebook</span></strong></h5>
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #00ffff;"> Twitter</span></strong></h5>
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #050505;"><strong>Google+</strong></span></h5>
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #f91e05;">Pinterest</span></strong></h5>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/pin-it-to-pinterest.jpg"><img title="top tweets" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5919" alt="pin-it-to-pinterest" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/pin-it-to-pinterest.jpg" width="600" height="342" /></a></p>

<p>Tweets make up of what Twitter is today. It is the zenith of Twitter and what runs Twitter every single second.</p>
<p>If you can conquer the art of tweeting, then you will see great success on Twitter.</p>
<p>I say art because you can literally design and create unique tweets that is specifically from you; Your kind of tweets that will flood your twitter profile.<br />
You are designing with every tweet, your twitter profile which makes up the &#8220;bigger&#8221; picture of what new tweeters see.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Do you want your picture looking like a preschooler&#8217;s colored picture? Or you want the picture to look like a Da Vinci picture!</strong></p>
<p><strong>That&#8217;s what I though!</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Top tweets formulated at the right time of day and designed with a purpose will make professional success on Twitter.</strong></p>
<p>These <i>top tweets</i> that I am about to show you guys are <u>top tweets</u> that are designed and formulated to<a title="Get More Followers On Twitter Like A King!" href="http://internetdreams.com/social-media/get-more-followers-on-twitter" target="_blank"> get more followers </a>and get all kinds of success on Twitter!</p>
<p><strong>I mean it!</strong></p>
<p>Your top tweets are what the absolutely new blinded tweet user will have a glimpse that you even exist on Twitter!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5>Make them top tweets count!</h5>
<p>Here&#8217;s how to make those top tweets appear on Twitter.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/pin-it-to-pinterest.jpg"><img title="top tweets" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5919" alt="pin-it-to-pinterest" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/pin-it-to-pinterest.jpg" width="600" height="342" /></a></p>
<p><img title="top tweets" class="tc-hover pin  aligncenter" alt="Top Tweets That You Should Be Tweeting On Twitter!" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/toptweets.jpg" width="600" height="351" data-fburl="CURRENT" data-tweeturl="CURRENT" data-tweet="" data-plusurl="CURRENT" data-linkedinurl="CURRENT" data-redditurl="CURRENT" data-diggurl="CURRENT" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Emotional tweets</h3>
<p>There are some mad tweeters out there! Not everyone is in a happy or humming mood when they are browsing through their twitter stream.</p>
<h5><strong>Some are extremely mad while others are just sad, looking for some comfort through the tweets.</strong></h5>
<p>This is a hidden opportunity that can be cashed on.</p>
<p>Since people are apt to respond more in these types of moods just to get out of their emotional predicament, you won&#8217;t be surprised how much response you will receive in return!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Quoted tweets</h3>
<p>I don&#8217;t know man, but something about quotes makes people just go crazy and do something with  it.</p>
<p>If you just log onto your Facebook profile and check out your stream, you will somewhere in there see a quote or two.</p>
<p>Actually if you are a heavy Facebook user, you will see them all the time!</p>
<p>You know what I am talking about!</p>
<p>Same goes with twitter.</p>
<p>Hey, I enjoy quotes myself and use them to spur me to get going to work hard.</p>
<p>Use this type of tweet to gain the top exposure while you send out this specific type of tweet.</p>
<p>See the engagement by using quoted tweets.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Pictured tweets</h3>
<p>With the new Facebook news feed and the rise of Pinterest, this is no hidden trend that is taking over the internet.</p>
<p>Images rule!</p>
<p>Again, if you are a heavy Facebook user, the images are of the same caliber of the quoted tweets I have mentioned from above.</p>
<p>There are everywhere on the internet including almost all of the social media sites.</p>
<p>Picture tweets will always see engagement and get more eyes on your profile. You may be saying twitter is the promoter of the 140 character text and runs the best on the text tweets you see in the stream.</p>
<p>True and not so true at the same time.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be sucked into this thinking just because it may be the obvious.</p>
<p>Experiment with image and pictures and see that images can perform on the same level as the text tweet, if not even better!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Video tweets</h3>
<p>Video tweets are another type of multimedia tweets that Twitter supports.</p>
<p>Even though videos posted on the internet are nothing new, I have seen a steady rise of interest for them.</p>
<p>Videos plain and simple bring you the results. I myself prefer watching a video on something new than reading a whole page of boring text.</p>
<p>I know there are many out there that prefer the opposite, which is totally fine with me since text has been around much, much longer.</p>
<p>Add this type of top tweet to your Twitter catalog and share more videos on Twitter.</p>
<p>There are people on there who will stop seeing the continuous flow of new tweets, and check the videos posted in some of the tweets.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Please &#8220;retweet&#8221; tweets</h3>
<p><strong>You could say this is the &#8220;begging&#8221; tweet!</strong></p>
<p>It really isn&#8217;t since you are implying a command that some tweeters will follow-up with.</p>
<p>I have read many other sources on the internet  implying that using the word &#8220;please&#8221; or saying a command a person can do, will in fact get you more results with the engagement aspect.</p>
<p>I use this small technique in my social media growth all the time and do see an increase of engagement results because the action of telling them what to do is currently present in the tweet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Sharing &#8220;article&#8221; tweets</h3>
<p>This should be the most common type of tweet, flooding your twitter profile right now.</p>
<p>Twitter like many other social media sites is all about sharing relevant information about yourself and the information posted on the internet whether it be a simple article or to a funny video about Charlie Sheen!</p>
<p>Everything that you find interesting on the internet should be tweeted about on twitter since it might be what your following might be interested in.</p>
<p>You keep sharing from a specific user and retweeting their tweets, sooner or later they will take notice.</p>
<p>Social media is all about sharing and when another user is taking notice you are sharing their stuff, they are more inclined to return the favor.</p>
<p>Set up a list of twitter profiles that you are interested in retweeting and sooner or later, they will respond.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Conversational tweets</h3>
<p>Not to mention you will be sharing so many article as tweets, you will also include tweets that look like conversations.</p>
<p>They are because they are actually conversations!</p>
<p><strong>If someone retweets one of your tweets and you thank them for it, that is a conversation.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If someone favorites one of you tweets and you thank them, that is another conversation. </strong></p>
<p><strong>If someone &#8220;@&#8221; replies you, that is a conversation. </strong></p>
<p>Conversations can be started at any opportunity on Twitter.</p>
<p>Talk with people or your followers and let them know that you are human and want to converse with other tweeters. <img src='http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/business-entrepreneurship-lessons-learned-from-nfl-quarterbacks.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5859" alt="business entrepreneurs lessons from NFL quarterbacks" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/business-entrepreneurship-lessons-learned-from-nfl-quarterbacks.jpg" width="550" height="185" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Driven by the desire to create their own success, entrepreneurs sacrifice time, energy and often money to start businesses.</p>
<p>There may be no position that carries more pressure than leader of a start-up, but success reaps great rewards.</p>
<p>NFL quarterbacks take on similar responsibility.</p>
<p>Slate magazine determined that quarterback was the most valuable position in football, and these oft-injured players undergo rigorous scrutiny throughout the season.</p>
<p>These three successful quarterbacks can <a href="http://www.slate.com/articles/sports/sports_nut/2007/09/most_valuable_position.2.html" rel="nofollow">inspire you to succeed</a> as an entrepreneur.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Peyton Manning — A New Direction</h3>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/peytonmanning-blogging-entrepreneurship.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5847" alt="internet entrepreneurship" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/peytonmanning-blogging-entrepreneurship.jpg" width="500" height="282" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s third down with three to go as the Denver Broncos&#8217; quarterback approaches the line of scrimmage. <a href="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/1428/peyton-manning" rel="nofollow">Peyton Manning</a> is prepared to hand the ball off to the prolific running back four yards behind him, but something doesn&#8217;t look right.</p>
<p>The line of scrimmage is stacked, and the running back doesn&#8217;t have a chance.</p>
<p>Manning audibles, shouting to his teammates that a new play is in the works. He hikes the ball, looks left and throws a quick slant to his wide receiver: first down.</p>
<p>New opportunities present themselves every day. Are you willing to risk the comfort and leisure of your routine to produce long-term business success?</p>
<p>Small businesses faced with more losses and less demand can ignore the signs and hit a wall or, adversely, change direction and pursue better opportunities. It&#8217;s risky, and if it fails, you&#8217;ll be to blame.</p>
<p>But successful leaders will take the necessary risks to make their businesses thrive.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Robert Griffin III — The Modern Entrepreneur</h3>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/robertgriffen-blogging-entrepreneurship.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5848" alt="internet entrepreneurs" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/robertgriffen-blogging-entrepreneurship.jpg" width="400" height="298" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a new breed of quarterbacks in the NFL, and <a href="http://store.redskins.com/cart.php?m=product_list&amp;c=617" rel="nofollow">Robert Griffin III</a> is a leader among the pack. Smart, confident and equipped with a big arm, RGIII has the tools to pick apart defenses from the pocket.</p>
<p>This smooth passer would make a fine living as a conventional quarterback, but what makes Griffin special is what he does with his legs.</p>
<p>Blazing speed makes the Redskins quarterback an unstoppable force.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve seen quarterbacks that can run and pass, but perhaps never one that could still be an NFL Pro Bowler doing one of the other.</p>
<p>In the same way, the modern entrepreneur is evolving into someone who can not only wear many hats, but wear each as if they were born to do so. When it&#8217;s time to interact with customers, give them your undivided attention.</p>
<p>When funding is necessary, push yourself to research loan options, <a href="http://www262.americanexpress.com/business-credit-cards/business-card-compare/popular-business-charge-credit-cards" rel="nofollow">small business credit cards</a> and angel investments.</p>
<p>There may come a time when you no longer have your nose in every piece of business, but while you do, perform each task with excellence and your business will reap the benefits.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Russell Wilson — A Start-Up Story</h3>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/russellwilson-blogging-entrepreneurship.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5858" alt="internet entrepreneurs" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/russellwilson-blogging-entrepreneurship.jpg" width="487" height="377" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Coming into training camp, no one expected much from Russell Wilson.</p>
<p>The 5&#8217;11&#8243; quarterback was undersized. Besides, his Seahawks had already signed veteran Matt Flynn to a $26 million contract. Wilson didn&#8217;t whine or look for excuses. Instead, he got to work and won the starting job in camp.</p>
<p>He led the Seahawks to a playoff berth and thrust himself into the conversation for rookie of the year.</p>
<p>You may be ill-equipped to handle a <a href="http://www.inc.com/michael-alter/small-business-survey-best-ideas-biggest-challenges-resolutions.html" rel="nofollow">small-business challenge</a>, but it&#8217;s up to you to overcome your weaknesses and find success. Perhaps you struggle with finances or lack communication skills.</p>
<p>The only way to get better is to acknowledge the difficulty, identify a solution, plan a course of action and get to your end zone.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As close follower of mine, you are well aware how much I promote the idea of having an excellent design to your blog.</p>
<p>If you are looking to be a strong brand in your specific niche, then you will need a design that will impress your visitors to any degree.</p>
<p>Remember, good design promotes trust, trust always helps you to get sales.. <img src='http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img title="" class="tc-hover pin  aligncenter" alt="beatheme review" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/internetdreams-beatheme-review.jpg" width="580" height="203" data-fburl="CURRENT" data-tweeturl="CURRENT" data-tweet="" data-plusurl="CURRENT" data-linkedinurl="CURRENT" data-redditurl="CURRENT" data-diggurl="CURRENT" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That is why you see top dogs such as<em> Pat Flynn</em> and <em>John Chow</em> make huge bucks on the internet for their hard work in building a large following and gaining their trust at the same time.</p>
<p>At the beginning of Internet Dreams I made sure to look around for a while for the perfect theme that I can dress the blog with.</p>
<p>As I looked and looked, I stumbled on <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=102019&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=216186" rel="nofollow">Beatheme&#8217;s website</a> promoting their own themes they have created.</p>
<p>Let me tell me what got my attention since this it the most important case because I am a very &#8220;visual&#8221; person when it comes to design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=102019&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=216186" rel="nofollow"><strong>The Beatheme Themes!</strong></a></h1>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-theme-design-examples.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter  wp-image-5778" alt="beatheme theme designs" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-theme-design-examples.jpg" width="630" height="323" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Just look at the beautiful themes designed!</h3>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-breza.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5780" alt="beatheme breza" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-breza.jpg" width="464" height="543" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-carson.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5781" alt="beatheme carson" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-carson.jpg" width="468" height="552" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-mundo.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5783" alt="beatheme mundo" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-mundo.jpg" width="463" height="543" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-linetheme.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5784" alt="beatheme line theme" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-linetheme.jpg" width="481" height="549" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Many wordpress themes developed by individual websites around the web just borrow ideas from other wordpress themes and you can clearly see the similarities.</p>
<p>It is boring!</p>
<p>They clearly don&#8217;t stand out!</p>
<p>But, that is where Beatheme took the advantage of and took a stand ahead of the competition in my &#8220;eyes&#8221;.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Beatheme website is so effectively designed that they caught my attention amid already being exposed to many websites just seconds prior!</p>
<p>My brain was already all over the place, with colors swirling all over my head and designs here and there!</p>
<p>Here is why:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=102019&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=216186" rel="nofollow"><img title="" class="aligncenter  wp-image-5774" alt="beatheme review homepage" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-homepage-attention-grabber.jpg" width="585" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>They displayed the <em>correct word</em> and <em>product</em> that it had to be a serious consideration their themes.</p>
<p>Do I dived deeper into what they offered!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I looked at a their showcase of designs and decided that they offered the perfect set of themes for me.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">At this point I was going to buy them at any price they offered based on the beautiful design themes that I loved already!</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-price.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5790" alt="beatheme price" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-price.jpg" width="600" height="476" /></a></p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-bundle-price.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5792" alt="beatheme price" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-bundle-price.jpg" width="600" height="122" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>I am like,</strong></p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-what.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5795" alt="beatheme what" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-what.jpg" width="500" height="138" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>For that price,</strong></p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-price-steal.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5796" alt="beatheme price is a steal" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-price-steal.jpg" width="404" height="498" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So I went ahead and ordered the awesome themes!</p>
<p>Because of that decision, you guys have now a beautifully designed Internet Dreams!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/internetdreams-homepage-design.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter  wp-image-5800" alt="internet dreams homepage design" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/internetdreams-homepage-design.jpg" width="504" height="330" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The installation was such a breeze that I was already looking at the wonderful customization dashboard Beatheme created.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-customization-dashboard.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter  wp-image-5803" alt="beatheme dashboard" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-customization-dashboard.jpg" width="480" height="228" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Plus, to get there was so easy!</strong></p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-appearance-in-menu.jpg"><img title="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5805" alt="beatheme themes review" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beatheme-appearance-in-menu.jpg" width="163" height="368" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t be more happier on what I received!</p>
<p>They quickly filled my expectations on how beautiful a blog design could look!</p>
<p>All the pain of finding the right theme and being despaired on each theme I rejected because it was not what I was looking for.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Your Choice to Satisfy Yourself Right Now!</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hey, we all want to succeed on the internet and make millions!</p>
<p>But unfortunately the great majority won&#8217;t even get close which is so sad.</p>
<p>One of the first steps in making that a possibility is to create memorable design and hold onto those visitors.</p>
<h5><strong>Design and making you blog &#8220;visually&#8221; pleasing to any new visitor is such a crucial aspect that many blogger make the mistake of and so easily done by <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=102019&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=216186" rel="nofollow">Beatheme</a>.</strong></h5>
<p>Why not spend a little of your money and gain more subscriber for your blog which in return you can make sales to pay in return for the money you spent for these wonderful themes!</p>
<p>So,</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=102019&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=216186" rel="nofollow"><img title="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5812" alt="buy beatheme" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/buynow-beatheme.jpg" width="330" height="142" /></a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This guest post is by Erica Moss of the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://online.nursing.georgetown.edu/" target="_blank">Georgetown University’s online masters of nursing programs</a>.</em></p>
<h3><img title="" class="tc-hover pin  aligncenter" alt="How to Effectively Leverage Instagram in Your Marketing Efforts" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/effectively-market-instagram-marketing.jpg" width="600" height="325" data-fburl="CURRENT" data-tweeturl="CURRENT" data-tweet="" data-plusurl="CURRENT" data-linkedinurl="CURRENT" data-redditurl="CURRENT" data-diggurl="CURRENT" /></h3>
<h3></h3>
<h3>100 million users can’t be wrong.</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That’s how many people are now using Instagram, the iPhone and Android app that allows users to apply filters to photos and then share them with their social networks.</p>
<p>And just like any tool that is shiny and new, marketers are hopping on the bandwagon in droves, trying to decide how best to reach current and potential customers on this visual platform.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As expected, some are doing a great job, and others aren’t — and there’s a fine line between sharing your brand with the world and spamming the world with your brand.</p>
<p>If you’ve been considering dipping your toe into the Instagram pond, here are a few things to keep in mind that will help you effectively leverage this app and do so in a genuine way:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Post behind-the-scenes shots.</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Giving your fans a peek behind the curtain is a sure-fire way to get them excited and wanting more.</p>
<p>Whether it’s an employee happy hour or backstage at a fashion show, showing them something they wouldn’t otherwise be privy to will be a homerun every time.</p>
<p>A few companies doing this well include <a href="http://instagram.com/warbyparker/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Warby Parker</a>, <a href="http://instagram.com/zappos" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Zappos</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/bergdorfs/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Bergdorf’s</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Tell the story of your brand.</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://instagram.com/redbull" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Red Bull</a> isn’t successful on Instagram because they post pictures of their product.</p>
<p>They’re successful because they show people engaging in extreme, sometimes death-defying stunts, which is in line with the company’s mantra: “Red Bull Gives You Wings.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One of <a href="http://instagram.com/coachblkrwomen" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Coach’s local NYC stores</a> is successful on Instagram because the woman who runs the account, Eliot, captures small vignettes of her day.</p>
<p>She posts photos while brunching in the West Village and playing with her dog, Jojo, in Central Park — she’s a socialite that the typical Coach customer will identify with, and the “likes” on her photos reflect that.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Both of these accounts are manned by people who understand that you’re selling much more than a product — you’re selling a lifestyle — and your photos should reflect that.</p>
<p>Make people feel like they’re a part of something, and they’ll be more inclined to buy what you’re selling.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Promote contests that make sense.</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Much like Twitter, hashtags are an effective way to group similar topics on Instagram. Instagram contests can help rally people around your brand and consistently keep you top of mind.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://instagram.com/katespadeny" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Kate Spade</a> recently held a contest that encouraged users to upload photos from their everyday lives that illustrated how they were embracing the company’s “Live Colorfully” theme, using the hashtag #livecolorfully.</p>
<p>They went a step further and promised to hand pick submissions and <a href="http://instagram.com/p/W7RFb1AeDz/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">use them in their upcoming spring campaign</a> — as a fan of Kate Spade, I was giddy over the prospect that they might highlight me in such a public way.</p>
<p>Their first photo of said campaign earned 4,700-plus “likes.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The quality of the photos matter.</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While you don’t need a professional photographer with an iPhone shooting all of your Instagram photos, you do need someone who has a good eye for composition, horizon lines and a steady hand.</p>
<p>Because these photos are a direct reflection of your company and your brand, if you’re consistently posting shots that are blurry, too far away or too dark, it will be easy for your customers to tune you out.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While “likes” on Instagram do not always directly translate into improving your bottom line, as a marketer, it’s always important to be where your customers are, and these days, a lot of them are active Instagrammers.</p>
<p>By posting exclusive photos of a high quality, telling a cohesive narrative and promoting contests that make sense for you and your customers, you’ll be well on your way to a captive audience that is receptive to your message, and, therefore, more willing to support you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On March 7, 2013, Facebook has officially <a href="http://newsroom.fb.com/News/581/A-New-Look-for-News-Feed" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">announced on their main blog</a> that they have released a new design to the main new feed.</p>
<p>This has been very big news around the social media world and countless large blogs which they have talked about the details of this new design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='638' height='389' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/YaQQHYQHnMk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I have picked up the news myself and decided that since Facebook is a site I use all the time and my followers use it as much as I do, I decided to add my voice to the bunch about the new design and talk about the benefits it adds to our returns.</p>
<p>Enjoy! <img src='http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img title="" class="tc-hover pin  aligncenter" alt="Is Facebook Giving Us A Better Looking News Feed?" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/new-newsfeed-Facebook-AmyPorterfield.jpg" width="450" height="151" data-fburl="CURRENT" data-tweeturl="CURRENT" data-tweet="" data-plusurl="CURRENT" data-linkedinurl="CURRENT" data-redditurl="CURRENT" data-diggurl="CURRENT" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>One Word: Simplicity!</h3>
<p>If I was given only the possibility of describing the new Facebook Feed in one word, it would be the word &#8220;simple&#8221;!</p>
<p>One of the best examples to show this simplicity is the new columns and especially the toolbar of Facebook.</p>
<p>It might be stretch to be saying it has two toolbars, one going across the top and one going down on the left.</p>
<p>Both are similar in a way that they display what they offer in a very simple way.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img title="" class="tc-hover pin  aligncenter" alt="Is Facebook Giving Us A Better Looking News Feed?" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/simple-facebook-new-design.jpg" width="550" height="197" data-fburl="CURRENT" data-tweeturl="CURRENT" data-tweet="" data-plusurl="CURRENT" data-linkedinurl="CURRENT" data-redditurl="CURRENT" data-diggurl="CURRENT" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Items in the new feed are now separated distinctly and identified fully with the user that posted that specific status.</p>
<p>The simplicity is also helping things be organized in a way that is not cluttered anymore.</p>
<p>Also the simplicity promotes a more visual aspect which we will save for later!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Following Feed for Businesses!</h3>
<p><img title="" class="tc-hover pin  aligncenter" alt="Is Facebook Giving Us A Better Looking News Feed?" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/following-feed-facebook.jpg" width="550" height="283" data-fburl="CURRENT" data-tweeturl="CURRENT" data-tweet="" data-plusurl="CURRENT" data-linkedinurl="CURRENT" data-redditurl="CURRENT" data-diggurl="CURRENT" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As I have learned more about this news feed change on Facebook around on the internet I have read from different people that there is a possibility of separating what kind of items get into the news feed.</p>
<p><strong>Is there a possibility of Facebook page statuses being in a separate feed?</strong></p>
<p>Facebook is creating many types of feeds which I will be talking about later.</p>
<p>Since they have officially announced that they are going to really filter out the main news feed, the following feed is where pretty much all of your updates from your Facebook page are going to be located.</p>
<p>This is it where it is going to get interesting for brands and companies that manage a Facebook page.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>I mean is it going to be even harder to get your status updates to be seen by your fans in their own news feed?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Are they (users) actually going to use the following tab more often than not?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Are the &#8220;bigger&#8221; brands going to hog all of the main news feed and not give the smaller guys a chance at all?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Brands might not even have a chance to get their updates in the main news feed?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These are questions that I have asked myself and maybe some of yours that will be answered a little down the road once the new design  is established.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Visually, Facebook turned it up a notch!</h3>
<p>I firmly believe Facebook is moving towards a more visual interface.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img title="" class="tc-hover pin  aligncenter" alt="Is Facebook Giving Us A Better Looking News Feed?" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/visual-new-facebook-feed.jpg" width="550" height="430" data-fburl="CURRENT" data-tweeturl="CURRENT" data-tweet="" data-plusurl="CURRENT" data-linkedinurl="CURRENT" data-redditurl="CURRENT" data-diggurl="CURRENT" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>They are smart in taking this tactic and following the trend that is pretty obvious across the web.</p>
<p>What I noticed with the new feed is  the images look much larger than the normal feed in the current design.</p>
<p>This is more true since the link previews are displaying even bigger feature images.</p>
<p>It seems that updates such as friend &#8220;likings&#8221; and new friend connections are more visible to the user browsing through his news feed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>More accent is placed on your Friends&#8217; updates!</h3>
<p>Since Facebook is placing more accent on personal features, they are trying to get you to add whatever you enjoy to your main news feed.</p>
<p>And obviously why wouldn&#8217;t a person not enjoy the most the updates and statues that his friends post!</p>
<p>Facebook has clearly mentioned it is removing all the clutter than can be seen in the feed and organizing all of the features Facebook is offering.</p>
<p>Friend&#8217;s statuses are very important to Facebook and has made sure to make it obvious between a friend&#8217;s status and another status from someone else!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>A variety of Feeds to choose from!</h3>
<p>A new feature that we haven&#8217;t seen before on Facebook is the ability to choose what kind of feeds we want to see, separately.</p>
<p>Photos, article links, status updates from pages, etc&#8230;. this is what we all see clustered together in the main feed.</p>
<p>Organization is the second newest feature of the new feed, right after its simplicity!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img title="" class="tc-hover pin  aligncenter" alt="Is Facebook Giving Us A Better Looking News Feed?" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/new-feeds-newsfeed-facebook.jpg" width="550" height="316" data-fburl="CURRENT" data-tweeturl="CURRENT" data-tweet="" data-plusurl="CURRENT" data-linkedinurl="CURRENT" data-redditurl="CURRENT" data-diggurl="CURRENT" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>An example of a new feed Facebook has created is the possibility of seeing online photo uploads of your friends and everything related to photos.</p>
<p>All these photos are gathered and organized in a single feed for easier viewing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A new feed among these feeds is the following feed from the pages that you have liked and followed.</p>
<p>This is the new feed I am especially going to follow and watch out for!</p>
<p><strong>Is it going to be harder for your page to visible now with the new design update?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Or will help filter out the really interested people and get more quality followers for your page?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Followed its Mobile route!</h3>
<p><img title="" class="tc-hover pin  aligncenter" alt="Is Facebook Giving Us A Better Looking News Feed?" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/mobile-new-newsfeed-facebook.jpg" width="550" height="297" data-fburl="CURRENT" data-tweeturl="CURRENT" data-tweet="" data-plusurl="CURRENT" data-linkedinurl="CURRENT" data-redditurl="CURRENT" data-diggurl="CURRENT" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I use the mobile app continuously.</p>
<p>I mean I always do!</p>
<p>So, if you have used the mobile app your smart phone already, then you have already tried out the new design that is going to come out very soon for every user.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Wow, I really didn&#8217;t realize this since Facebook mentioning the new design.</p>
<p>I do enjoy how the mobile app from Facebook is developed and designed.</p>
<p>Facebook has said that their new design is going to be the same design as the mobile you are using, quote on quote.</p>
<p>Great  move on their part!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The Summary</h3>
<p>Note: This is strictly my opinion and in no way know what is going on behind the development of the new design.</p>
<p>Since the design is not even out completely, many features and ideas are apt to change!</p>
<p>I hope my writing has inspired you about what steps you need to take on Facebook and have briefly explained some key features &#8220;I think&#8221; are going to benefit you greatly!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Music is my life!</strong></p>
<p>My life depends on music and I am very grateful to the artists that create the music I can listen to.</p>
<p>I am 100 percent sure that you are listening to some sort of music in your life.</p>
<p>If you are not, then you are not human and have no emotions.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be serious, you are listening to some form of music no matter what.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img title="" class="tc-hover pin  aligncenter" alt="My 20 Favorite Music Jams That I Like To Listen While Working!" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20-music-I-listen-to-while-working.jpg" width="400" height="281" data-fburl="CURRENT" data-tweeturl="CURRENT" data-tweet="" data-plusurl="CURRENT" data-linkedinurl="CURRENT" data-redditurl="CURRENT" data-diggurl="CURRENT" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Music has already proven to affect your emotions directly, positively or negatively.</p>
<p>For the most part, I always encourage to listen to motivational music along with other kinds that will encourage you or make you cry sometimes. <img src='http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Work can be very tasking on your mind, so music always helps to soothe my brain and keep my mind in the working mode.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t you feel like you have run out of energy or emotion?</p>
<p>Well, start playing your favorite music jams and before you know it you will already be back to work and started fast on it. <img src='http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img title="" class="tc-hover pin  alignleft" alt="My 20 Favorite Music Jams That I Like To Listen While Working!" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/funny-Beethoven-music.jpg" width="300" height="396" data-fburl="CURRENT" data-tweeturl="CURRENT" data-tweet="" data-plusurl="CURRENT" data-linkedinurl="CURRENT" data-redditurl="CURRENT" data-diggurl="CURRENT" /></p>
<p>It has powerful properties and why not use music to your advantage to encourage you to success?</p>
<p>Music tells us stories and sometimes stories that tell the struggle of the artist&#8217;s climb to success.</p>
<p>The best inspiration you can receive from music!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In this article, I will list 20 of my favorite songs that I love to play while I am working tirelessly on Internet Dreams.</p>
<p>The songs in this post are hip hop and electronic/dance which are my favorite types of music I enjoy listening to.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am huge fan of Hip Hop and don&#8217;t hesitate to blow up my speakers with Wiz Khalifa, Ace Hood, or Big Sean.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget about Dance music which is right next to the Hip Hop I listen to! <img src='http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>If you have been blogging for a while now or even just started your own blog recently, there is a good chance that you have heard the phrase <strong>&#8220;Content is King&#8221;</strong>.</h2>
<p>Never wrong to follow or use the phrase as your motto.</p>
<p>I would encourage any blogger to create the best content on their respective blogs and make it their best as the king.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/what-i-think-content-is-king.jpg"><img title="" class="tc-hover pin share tweet plus  aligncenter" alt="what I think content is king" src="http://internetdreams.com/behindreal/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/what-i-think-content-is-king.jpg" width="500" height="250" data-fburl="CURRENT" data-tweeturl="CURRENT" data-tweet="What I Think Of The " data-plusurl="CURRENT" data-linkedinurl="CURRENT" data-redditurl="CURRENT" data-diggurl="CURRENT" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But unfortunately things have changed for that phrase in today&#8217;s blogging and I tell you why.</p>
<p>I will explain in this article why things have changed for web content and how we can bring back the &#8220;relevance&#8221; of the phrase!</p>
<p>But first, lets read what one of the industry&#8217;s top leader Copyblogger is saying about creating true content for this day and age:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<h5>&#8220;It all starts by understanding the people you’re writing for.&#8221;</h5>
</blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Interesting thought! It make perfect sense!</p>
<p>When it is said and done, ask yourself this &#8211; &#8220;Will my content help my fans?&#8221; and &#8220;Is it something they are eager for?&#8221;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s dig into the article and see what the true meaning is!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Overrated because of this reason!</h3>
<p>It is way over used!</p>
<p>Before you guys start commenting and accusing me for saying that, let me explain.</p>
<p>Everyone reading this article can agree on this is:</p>
<p><strong>The content marketing age of the internet is upon us.</strong></p>
<p>Everywhere, content, content, content&#8230;.</p>
<p>Bloggers everywhere are talking about how to take your content marketing to the next level.</p>
<p>These are the same people using the phrase &#8220;Content is King&#8221; all the time especially when they comment.</p>
<p><strong>They claim that &#8220;Content is King&#8221; but almost never follow its true meaning!</strong></p>
<p>That is the sad part and these people subliminally are destroying the phrase.</p>
<p>They are driving it into the ground which is really sad.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>How are they giving &#8220;Content is King&#8221; a bad name every year?</h3>
<p>I haven&#8217;t even been blogging since the last decade and everywhere I visit I see blogs talking about the same thing.</p>
<p>The same stuff that I am so sick of seeing!</p>
<p><strong>Plus so many beginning bloggers are writing and producing these articles like they are the expert on the topic or (More Accurately), actually not performing on what they write!</strong></p>
<p>The blogging world is being watered down by poor content everyday.</p>
<p>Every new blog being established has a very good chance of producing content that is most of the time worthless.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t blame them because they are doing it blindly and don&#8217;t have much knowledge on how to blog at the start.</p>
<p>As I write a guest post for a certain blog on a topic called content creation or something close to it, they&#8217;re are always commentators saying or mentioning how &#8216;Content is King&#8221; and how they think it is the most important thing in blogging at the moment.</p>
<p>True and not true at the same time!</p>
<p>But when I check their respective blog after reading their comment, right away I can notice if they are one of the many bloggers who claim &#8220;Content is King&#8221; but don&#8217;t follow its true meaning.</p>
<p>Sad!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3> &#8221;Content is King&#8221; is not everything!</h3>
<p>Yup, it isn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>This is why.</p>
<p>I am into bodybuilding and I am going to compare blogging with bodybuilding right now.</p>
<p>Content creation is just an element of the whole &#8220;thing&#8221; of blogging.</p>
<p>If you think content is the secret to blogging success, it is never going to happen for you unfortunately!</p>
<p>It is just a piece of that pie of &#8220;blogging success&#8221;.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say content creation is like the healthy eating in bodybuilding.</p>
<p>Healthy eating makes a very important part of bodybuilding and building muscle, but if you only eat and don&#8217;t do the other aspects of bodybuilding, you know what happens!</p>
<p>You need to weight lift, sleep enough hours, buy supplements, and so much more&#8230;.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Same thing in blogging.</p>
<p>Each part of building a successful blog needs to be implemented in your everyday strategy and the work you do for your blog.</p>
<p>See?</p>
<p>Everything has to come together and if you include everything alongside content creation, then you are on the way of actually making &#8220;Content is King&#8221; contain a relevant message.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>How can we change and make &#8220;Content is King&#8221; really King?</h3>
<p>I am no way saying the phrase is irrelevant to blogging.</p>
<p>Hell no!</p>
<p>What I am implying is we need to take &#8220;Content is King&#8221; more seriously and make the phrase have a true eye-opener meaning whenever a blogger or reader reads the phrase.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>This is how we can make it better:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<h5>Let us bloggers write more posts about the true meaning of &#8220;Content is King&#8221; and remind ourselves how we should conduct ourselves with good content creation.</h5>
</li>
<li>
<h5>Do your research and target long tail keywords if you are looking to gain any sort of <a rel="nofollow" title="Blog Traffic Tips for 2013!" href="http://internetdreams.com/traffic/blog-traffic-tips-2013" target="_blank">traffic from Google in 2013</a>.</h5>
</li>
<li>
<h5>Write  content based on the current trends on social media and what the users on social media are looking for.</h5>
</li>
<li>
<h5>Never, ever, ever, ever write filler content for the sake of writing everyday. Never!!</h5>
</li>
<li>
<h5>Write less and have a specific reason why you are writing that piece of content.</h5>
</li>
<li>
<h5>Write articles to solve problems in your specific niche and find solutions for them</h5>
</li>
<li>
<h5>Create content that is entertaining while at the same time it is teaching.</h5>
</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There you go!</p>
<p>I am trying as hard as possible to follow the steps from above every time I create a new article for Internet Dreams.</p>
<p><strong>Let&#8217;s come together and save the content creation process that is being pushed down the drain further everyday by stubborn bloggers! </strong></p>
