I have had a lasting fondness for The Marketing Professional Blog way before I purchased the domain in 2005. In fact I have done allot of soul searching and have made up my mind that in order to really focus on my personal blog and my web traffic business it’s time to part ways with this labor of luv and all of the content that has become it’s essence.
My goal is to find an entrepreneurial owner that will give TMP a brighter future than what I am currently capable of or have done in the past. I am not going to sell it to just anyone although if the price is right I may make an exception ;-}
So here are the stats and demographics relating to The Marketing Professional Blog:
TheMarketingProfessional.com was purchased in June of 2005, when you invest in this site you also receive the .net and .info domains as well so that is an added bonus.
This blog is 3 years old – there are a total of 196 posts with 121 comments at last count. The current page rank is: 2
There are 43 Alexa and 450 yahoo backlinks to this site.
TheMarketingProfessional.com rank has increased 234% over the last 3 months.
Currently it reaches roughly 5,250 users and delivers about 11,610 pageviews each month.
I never ran adwords on the site so there is no standard way of evaluating revenue estimations however I can tell you that I leveraged the site to create valuable friends as well as clients for other businesses that I participate in and that has been quite profitable. I can not make an income claim or I would be breaking a law or two plus violating binding non-disclosure agreements with people and businesses that I can not name.
First buyer to offer $5,000.00 (Five Thousand Dollars) receives the 3 domains mentioned above plus the related content on this blog if desired minus copyrighted material unless expressly noted in purchase agreement.
I accept paypal or alertpay and am only accepting bids from serious investors only!

Recently while consulting on a website design and optimization project my client was not worried how the website would look or perform. It turns out that my clients bottom line concern was about how to get people to come their website once it was created, optimized, and online.
I proceeded to lay out a plan that would deliver traffic at an increasing rate if applied and implimented on a consistent basis.
1. For an initial burst of traffic I recomend implimenting Click Thru Marketing, a good resource to use is: http://wwwGoneClicking.com
2. Next you should submit your blog or website to Google and yahoo, 77% of people use Google so you must have your site submitted there first including your site map. It may take a few days before your blog or site shows up in the search engines so do not worry if on the first or second day your site is not listed.
3. Now you should start gathering back links and joining social networking sites such as FaceBook and MySpace, and tell people what your blog or website is about plus how it can help solve their problem. Go to Google and type in keywords that are related to your blog or website. Contact the websites or blog and tell them you would like to exchange back links with them. A good back link list numbers around 100 or more so it will take some time to establish however it will be worth it in the long run.
4. Make sure you optimize your blog or site for the keywords that you want to target.
5. Next, establish a Youtube account. There are over 40 million users that visit youtube every day. If you are not promoting your website with Youtube you are missing a lot of worthy customers and clients. Always use a catchy title for the video and advertise your video on other websites.
6. Another great way to drive people to your website is by using Google adwords. As an addition to Google Adwords you can also use Adsense to put your ads on other people’s websites which is an additional way to earn money as well. If you want people to come to your website sign up for Google adwords, it does not cost much and can return a greater sum than the amount you invest. Your ads will be listed on peoples sites containing content like yours and on the Google search engine itself! If you do look into this just sign up for a Google account and go to Adwords it can be well worth your money.
Always to Your Success,

Congratulations, you have your website or blog set up and it’s time to start promoting what you have to offer. You know that in order for your site or blog to be successful you must generate traffic and the more visitors to your site that you have that means more sales and more money for you and your affiliates.
There are many ways to generate website traffic:
Pay per click is an example of paid traffic method.
But for a new internet marketer with limited budget often paid methods are simply not feasible. So you should think about getting free website traffic.
One of my favorite methods is to use a Click Thru Marketing Service like GoneClicking.com 
You should also submit your website to directories like: Yahoo, MSN, and Google. Make sure you submit your site in the correct section of your niche. Write articles and submit them to article directories with your site link in resource box. When more and more websites publish your articles, you will get as many back links and the visitors of that site may click on the link and come to your site.
Try getting back links from authority sites in your niche. Back links means that your market place is giving you a vote of acceptance. When authority sites accept you, you will enjoy high rankings in the search engines.
Join forums in your niches and make some valuable comments and use your website link as your signature line. Before doing this make sure you read their rules and that you are allowed to do that otherwise you will be removed from the forum. Another advantage of visiting these forums is that you will know the pulse of your target market.
Once you have visitors at your site or blog make sure you capture their name and email address using an opt in form. There are many types of forms available. Also keep in mind that a visitor may not buy from you on their first visit. Once you have his or her contact details, you can make offers that may be of interest to them. You can automate this process by using a reputable auto responder. Currently I am using Aweber.
This has been a basic tutorial to compliment the previous post on article marketing, leave me a comment on what has worked well for you or if you have another marketing related question.
Always to Your Success,
The Marketing Professional
