I posted this tactic in another thread, but since it was in a 'download request' thread I think it got passed over.

Using Google Trends...

I use this tactic on my news/gossip blogs everyday and it gets me steady daily traffic. On top of that, at least 4-5 times a week I get a butt load of traffic. (I'm talking about getting 2,000 hits directing to 1 blog post)

This is how I do it.

This is what people are searching for, updated often.

If you have a wordpress blog, this can really help you get the traffic you need to keep up a steady flow without doing much work.

Goto the trends link and find the top ten most searched terms.

Follow the popular search word/words to the source (CNN, BBC, FoxNews, Etc)

Copy the article, rewrite it. (Someone posted a great idea by using a english to spanish translator here --> http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackha...-websites.html )

You will notice on the trends page, the popular search word(s) have similar search terms listed under it.



Use these in your post if you can, and definitely use them for your tags. They are already separated by commas, so a simple copy and paste will do the trick.

Now watch the traffic roll in, it takes a matter of minutes to see it happen. (Be sure to have a decent ping list in your WP) Hot searches sometimes come back within a day or two. Having published your post already, your blog will usually be in the top three searches on google. I'm not just talking about the google trends results either, regular google searches!

I use my PPC & PPA campaigns and get the steady hits I need to make decent $$ everyday. I'd suggest anyone looking for an easy way to get some hits, try this tactic out and you won't be disappointed.

Cheers!

Great idea man,

I love to hear of ways to make

money now! I am inpatient and

generally looking for that quick fix

so that sounds great. Can you talk

a little about how exactly you monetize

the traffic. And our you using a WP blog

on your domain or at wordpress? Love to

hear how your monetizing man. By the way

this is a great idea for a first product if your

wanting to do it. If you need a partner im in

Again, great post man, look forward to more

detail.

Cheers,

Nick

Excellent info! Thanks so much for the insights.

I'm using simple PPA banners on my site, along with the standard PPC stuff. Nothing special, it all works. I also have a opt-in form for "free product samples". This is so simple, it's silly. If your using a blog focused on news/current events/hot products/etc and not using this, your losing money and traffic.

Cool man, thanks can you suggest a good place to

get ppa banners from? and just to clarify, this is on

your domain right?

You can choose any affiliate that tickles your fancy, I like NeverblueAds myself. Yes, I use my own domains on my own web host. You could use free hosting, but you'll be competing with their built in ad crap.

Excellent man, i am going to work

right now, just curious, how much

do you pull in per day from this?

I use this on several blogs and don't always keep track of each one's earnings. I'd say about $5 per blog with Ads3nse and anywhere from $10-$20 with PPC. the more blogs you have, obviously, the more you'll make.

broad searches, seems way to many. Whats the usual searches

limit that you go for, or do you only judge by phrase match?
