Okay, I wanted share a quick video on how I go about purchasing a domain name, where I get the domain name availabilities, and even the ideas for keywords….
Before you go out and purchase a domain name or even check for domain name availability go check out my latest video
How should you truly pick out your names?
As you can see in the video, I personally like to purchase a domain name that have high ranking keywords already embedded. Doing so, your website will simply rank higher in the search engines.
I think it’s still undecided wither you should purchase a domain name that’s short – since they are simple to type out, simple to remember , and less subject to typos – OR longer site names, since they are better remembered…
What do you think?
I say, it isn’t the length that matters so much, when checking for a domain name availability. I’ve seen long and short names rank alike. Regardless, who in the world goes up types in their URL, manually?
For me, about 99% of the time I merely type whatever I’m looking for right into Google and select the first one that pops up – it’s usually right. This is the very reason why I believe it’s so important to have your keywords when you check for your domain name availability.
So how do you pick yours?

You see Google and eBay are nothing more than search engines. Google searches websites – all different types, while eBay searches listing – all with something to sell.
I want you to understand the MINDSET of an average user of both Google and eBay.
You’re not visiting eBay to find who’s winning American Idol. Your on eBay to PURCHASE a product, nothing more.
Watch this POWERFUL video training below on EXACTLY how I use eBay Classified Ads to get in front of those customers and generate Internet Marketing Traffic, Leads, and ultimately make money from eBay without EVER selling anything!
I know I go through everything pretty fast, but there was a lot of information I was trying to squeeze in the video, keeping youtube’s 10 minute time limit in mind.
You can EASILY be using this EXACT method to generate hordes of targeted internet marketing traffic, leads, and make money, using eBay Classified Ads.
You could send this traffic to products you own, affiliated products, blog post, or to just about ANY website you can think of.
If there’s anything in the video you want me to go over further, leave a comment below and I’ll go over in more detail…

I probably should have jumped on this last week, but I was busy in other aspects of my business…
Last week my mentor, Alex Jeffreys, put out a friendly competition for his students – whoever brings in the most traffic to their blog, wins $1000. Simple right?
Instead of writing how I’m going to drive traffic to my blog, I decided to say it. Watch it here on my 90 Day Challenge, Day 15, “How I plan on driving the traffic to my blog.”
After thinking about it, I decided to go ahead a write a couple things down anyway…
(Just a little recap of the video)
Here’s A List Of How To Get Internet Marketing Traffic To Your Blog:
Using Twitter as a vehicle for driving traffic is GREAT idea, but like all social media communities, you should never try ANY direct selling.
What do I mean by direct selling? Well, you can’t go out and say, “Hey GO here and Buy This!” and expect people to hand over their money. Doing this is social media suicide.
Instead, drive the traffic back to your blog.
Think of your blog as your virtual home. Invite them over and let them get to know you. Here is where potential customers will know, like, and trust you.
When done correctly, people will buy from you without ever having to sell to them.
So how to drive the traffic?
Well understand this, Twitter was based on the concept of “What are you doing?” So tell them..
“I just finished my latest blog post about ABC, you can check it out at XYZ.com…” or “I was just reading ABC at XYZ.com”
Remember not to be so pushy, let it be more of an invitation.
If you haven’t already, sign up for Twitter here: http://Twitter.com
And follow me here http://Twitter.com/AlexLimInc
I project my videos to be another main source of traffic. If you’re not using some sort of video marketing, you’re missing out.
I personally use Traffic Geyser for all of my video marketing needs.
You can produce a single video, upload it to Traffic Geyser, and it’ll submit it to almost 50 different sites, including video hosting sites, blogs, podcast, and social book marking sites.
You can get a 30 day FREE trial here http://trafficgeyser30free.com/
Okay, this platform is probably the most underused platform of driving traffic to a website… period.
I don’t even sell ANYTHING on eBay, the only thing I use eBay is to post in their classified ads… that’s it.
The one thing I want you to understand is this, eBay is a place where you can direct sell. When you’re on eBay, your mind is already trained to be looking for something to purchase. The only reason someone goes to eBay is to purchase something, think about it.
You’re in that buying mindset…
Note the differences when your searching for a product on eBay rather than browsing around and socializing on Twitter.
Go ahead and set up an eBay account, it’s free! http://eBay.com
Articles is probably another source of an underused marketing strategy. The one thing you should take away from this is that articles are free to post, and they stay on the Internet FOREVER. You will forever generate FREE traffic for every single article you write.
I would suggest you try out http://ezinearticles.com/. That site is probably the biggest article directory site on the Internet.
They actually provide you with a FREE training newsletter to get you started in article marketing.
The last method I’m going to be using is through blog comments. You’ve probably noticed even on comments on this blog, when a person post a reply, to a post or comment, their own name links back to any website they choose.
Try it out.
That’s it for now,

Today I really wanted to show everyone a GREAT way to find “BUZZ” worthy topics to write about on their blogs. Finding these topics are KEY elements to grabbing HUGE amounts of traffic.
Let’s face it, if your not writing about interesting topics, no one’s going to read it!
I’ve included a video about how to find buzz topics right from Twitter (and I included other sites) below:
There you have it.
The key is finding hot topics to write about and incorporating it into your marketing or your even your story.
I actually posted this method of discovering buzz traffic using Twitter BEFORE I even got a chance to write about the topic mentioned in the video! I hope EVERYONE takes action today!
Alex Lim
P.S. I wanted to shoot this video DIRECTLY to all you fellow Alex Jeffrey’s students. Just some ideas for our traffic competition coming up next week! Good luck EVERYONE!
