Drive Your Trafic with Technorati

How to Increase Traffic
Using Technorati
Some of the way that i find is very
usefull to increase traffic to your
site.
Here’s how it works:
Use www.technorati.com to find 20-100
blogs that are similar to yours in
that they post about the same or
complimentary topics that you do.
Visit each blog and find the first
name and email address of the
person who runs the site.
Youcan either use your normal
email client (Outlook, Thunderbird,
Hotmail, etc) or a professional
email marketing tool (such as
SendStudio) to send out a list of
emails. I wouldn’t recommend using
your normal email client because
you want to send 20-100 emails at
a time, and there’s only so many
emails you can stuff into your BCC
and CC fields.
What you want to do is send each
of the bloggers a brief email every
time you add a relevant,
interesting post to your blog.
Something like this:
Hi [First Name],
Justthought I’d shoot you a quick
email about a post I just made on
my blog. It’s called “Getting
Website Traffic the Old School
Way” and you can read it here.
Thanks,Mitch
I really recommend using each of
the bloggers first names in your
email if you’re going to do a mass
mailing. You don’t want your emails
to sound like spam. I also
recommend sending your emails as
text to avoid formatting problems
in web-based email clients which a
lot of bloggers use.
There are a few gray spots with
this technique - mainly that you’re
sending emails to people who
haven’t asked to receive them - so
ifyou can, before you start
sending out your emails get to
know each of the bloggers by
sending them an introductory email
or by leaving useful comments on
their blog. You can also include an
unsubscribe link at the bottom of
your emails but that makes them
seem robotic.
There’s a fine line between sharing
a useful blog post and pissing
someone off, so keep that in mind
if you do decide to use this
technique. I’m currently building up
my list of emails and getting to
know each of the bloggers I will be
sending the emails to before I put
this technique into action on my
blog.
