How to get traffic to your blog accidentally

October 5, 2012 by admin 1 Comment

I was gob smacked, when i checked my blog traffic a couple of days ago. Apparently someone made a comment about cars on this blog and suddenly the rush of traffic started heading to my blog towards this page that details fake Chinese cars replicated of word class cars.

291 Hits from one source in a day WOW

chinese fake cars Vs real cars

I had to investigate where this traffic is coming from, i went to the blog .

I saw the title of the page

"Hello, I’m definitely not calling from India. Can I take control of your PC? ( here)

and went WTF !! this page doesn’t seem relevant at all to cars or anything related

So i right clicked and viewed page source and there it was

Someone called Jgoat made a comment

When I pay for my Mercedes, I actually get a Mercedes. Pretty big difference.

Sure about that?

I had a look at the blog and didn’t think that this could be a high traffic blog , but if one small little irrelevant comment could bring in such massive traffic to a website , i wonder how much traffic this website actually gets? (surely would be heaps)

This is how you do not get your traffic accidentally, what you do is make innovative and interesting posts like this which people like to share and you automatically get traffic

So you interested in fake original chinese cars ??

Australia misses Out on Google Local ad Targeting

September 12, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

Many of SEO’s and Businesses use Google location targeting to show your ads in specific geographic locations such as countries, regions, and cities to more precisely reach your potential customers.

Google is now introducing new geographical targeting advertising options and tweaking the options to get more targeted advertising within AdWords and has also released postal code targeting for Canada.

More here

With this new introduction to location targeting AdWords offers location targeting at the postal code, city, metro, or the region level, although targeting at certain levels isn’t available in some countries.

Australia misses out on postal code and DMA Adwords Location targeting

Though Australia missed out on the postal code targeting, as you can see in the pic above, Australia has location targeting by city and region, which is still good because if you are advertising a local business that is not online only for Sydney then they can target only the Sydney city, and if a company is seeking local customers from the whole of WA region they can target only the WA region in their ad words campaign

Canada has got more specific option for targeted advertising with Google introducing the ability to target by Canadian Postal Code FSAs(Forward Sortation Area), the first three digits of the postal code, which correspond to a certain geographic area.

AdWords will now have city and regional targeting capabilities in 9 new countries.

Areas where Google Adwords City and regional targeting is in effect now

Belgium (city)

Taiwan (city)

Vietnam (city)

Bulgaria (region & city)

Denmark (city)

India (city)

Ireland (city)

Romania (region & city)
