Blog Traffic Getting Results
Finally I’m getting around to post this video on the blog and showcase some of the Blog Traffic Getting Results from the methods that I talked about in the USTREAM show.
Since I started looking into different aspects of “blog traffic getting” because of Alex Jeffreys coaching program, I found out interesting aspects about both “schools of thought”.
But before I get into that, go ahead and watch this “bonus episode” of “Blog Traffic Getting With Thomas”…

About the “schools of thought” on blog traffic getting.
Basically, the two schools of thought are
the “Content School” and the “Traffic School”
In a very simplified way, you could say that the Content School has
a “build it and they will come” philosophy.
They say things like “don’t bother getting traffic before you have
a whole bunch of valuable content”, like Michael Hyatt here.
With this comes the tendency to rely on the blogging community, and on
participating actively in it for eventually getting targeted eyeballs to
look at your valuable content.
Blogging in this philosophy is a focused and centered activity within
social networking, and monetization occurs mostly through
contextually served, socially relevant display ads.
These types of bloggers might also be great targets for
JV proposals if you have a highly relevant product or service
that has social proof and is engaging for the specific audience which
may be subscribers to blog updates via email or RSS feed.
The “Traffic School”
The Traffic School on the other hand is focused on
market research, testing offers, finding “buying keywords” etc.
They like to know for sure that they’re going to be able to
monetize the niche and possibly build a list before they go through
the trouble of creating a bunch of stuff.
In a sense they look at content as something that can help them to
“drill down” into a niche that they’ve found to be highly profitable.
Both schools are really interesting to discover and learn more
about. But before I go on further, I’d like to know your take and
opinion. What’s your experience, which school do you belong to,
and why? Please leave a comment below!
