I hate traffic - Driving to work in a car :S

How many times have you driven to work in your used car - 50? 500? 5000? If you work chances are you have a used car and chances are you drive to work in your used car every day.  Repetitive journeys, congestion because of poor road systems and your old used car having mechanical issues all make the journey more irratating.

Mr.Scientist recommends you get an electric car, cheap efficient - but just as bloddy slow! effectively taking longer to get to work, and shifting the gear of frustration from the used car cog to the slow electric cheap boring car cog. Not worth the money on aa batteries.

So I suggest either buying a newer, more efficient car, or a newer used car - something that has a bit better efficiency than your used petrol motor - something diesel perhaps - a 1.9tdi? That would get you to work cheaply, and perhaps a rocket launcher to help move some of that pesky traffic?

W3C Validation flaws

W3C XHTML is a great idea - making everything work on everyones Browser, however when trying to get complicated homepages to validate properly - it can be a pain. You enter your homepage - say www.rankrace.com But w3C markup doesnt allow some things that make older browsers function properly - e.g. pre css terms used to make old browsers show the website properly!

Examples: <Table background=”an_image.jpg”>

This wouldnt be allowed under W3C Markup - but if you just use the css (Background-Image) then older versions on Internet Explorer (IE) and Netscape (NS) would not show the background image.

Simarlarly annoying about W3C is the fact you cannot spread a form over a table - so if you dont have all your form items within the same <td> then w3c crys about it!!!!!

W3C xhtml markup validator is realised as a useful tool for SEO’ and general webmasters/designers. But if used as  the end-all bee’s knees of markup validation then you may be blocking out 1/3 of the hits to your site - waste all that difficultly generated traffic so easily?????? W3C = great in moderation but don’t waste all your organic and referal generated traffic living up to its godly standards.

Traffic Hits Multiplier Expands To 4 Surf Groups

The viral list builder and traffic generation system, Traffic Hits Multiplier, has added yet another surfing group to its arsenal. This system makes use of tabbed surfing to maximize your efficiency by browsing multiple pages of various hit exchanges simultaneously.

The system is designed to for internet marketers with little or no advertising budget. By using a lead capture page, free traffic exchanges, an auto responder, and a couple of web pages containing all the referral links needed, the cost to the marketer is web hosting and time. The time is a trade off for being virtually free.

There is a demo of the system being run on the Traffic Hits Multiplier Blog where all the results are posted on a daily basis. In a months time, the system has generated over 100 opt ins and about 40 referrals in the various traffic exchanges. The traffic being generated has tripled during the month long promotion.

The owner of this strategic internet marketing system, JT Martin, is going to continue the demo for another month and start using other free methods to advertise the lead capture page. Up until know the traffic exchanges were the only source of traffic except for some email promotion with safelists the last few days. It just goes to show that free methods can be effective when applied properly.

Use Viral Marketing To Increase Website Traffic For Free

One of the best ways to increase website traffic for free is to use viral marketing techniques. The simplest of these techniques is to simply give away an ebook or free report that contains links to your website. Then you encourage others to give away the report as well.

When done properly, this can be very effective. First you want to make sure that the information you give away is helpful to the audience you are targeting. You also want to make sure that you get something in return. Normally this will be their name and email address. Have them submit their information on a sign up form for your auto responder.

You can further monetize their information by sending them back end offers through an auto responder series. Make sure that the products are related in some way to the original subject or offer that is in the free report for best results. I have come up with a neat little viral system that uses Traffic Exchanges. Click on the link in this post to check it out.
