When we first started to promote our website, we make couple of mistakes and this one is still continue to stay and hurt us. You can avoid it if you read this story.
Mistake For New Web Master
If you have a new site, to get new incoming links, the easy way is to submit it to some free website link directory. Bingo, this is what we did when we first started out.
It’s not submitting to link directory isn’t working, it does help sometime. But really, submitting to link directory who sell your email address to spammer, that is a bummer!

This couple days, we are installing couple of web analytic application such as clicktale and robotreplay for web analysis to find out how our reader using our hoobin resource center.
The result is very interesting. Well, we have to accept the fact that our site is still not that user friendly yet, our reader doesn’t seem to find the important information they are looking for.
The Challenge
One of the problems is … the reader don’t really click on the category link in our website sidebar. But category is the place where we compile most of the resources into one place. Even though they click on the category link, still we don’t give enough big picture information about the resources.

We just make some improvement on our website today. We have put up a web statistic for displaying our posting/resources, comments and categories at our hoobin main page. We think this will be helpful for our readers to get brief view of information size in this resource center.
If you are using wordpress, you can install this general-stats plugin over here. Configure it in the admin option and trying to create some html code to make it prettier. This is how our general stats look like in our hoobin main page:
As you can see, currently we have 311 posts and articles in our hoobin resources center. We like the green color that match with the background color, what do you think?
Anyway you can find most of the popular wordpress statistic plugin here. Some of them are very powerful, but we just not use to the idea to use wordpress plugin to do all the heavy lifting for web statistic analysis. We like to use general purpose web statistic analysis software better.

Well, we ask a lot of successful blogger out there, what is their secret to be a successful blogger. And they answer is …
Content Is King
A lot of marketer out there will disagree with “content is king ” and say without help of promoting the content, no matter how good is your content, no-body know about it!
So they come up with a better word for content is king, a content without the linkbait nature, it’s useless. So linkbait is the pragmatic way to unleash “content is king” power.
Anyway, this is just our logic to explain why linkbait is important - Don’t take this seriously

Our take in blog exchange traffic or exhange manual traffic is … it’s won’t work.
Of course, we all get pretty excited with all the promised to increase our traffic.
But seriously, to have traffic that don’t bring any value and need a lot of work, why bother?
Why exchange traffic won’t work?
First, put your blog there will screw up your BRAND and INTEGRITY. How many of you actually trust the blog or site that exchange traffic. Most of them look pretty “phony”.
Second, most of the hits never by pass the first hit. The viewers just want to get over with and hit as many hits as possible so that he/she earn the hit points.
Third, it’s just too much work and you better use the time to leave a comments in Other People Blog, Forum, MyBlogLog and it’s eventually create at LEAST one quality hits with a possibility to build a “online” relationship.

Well, if you are thinking to set up a blog to earn some adsense money, this is definitely a good start! But blog is more then that!
Blog Is A Business
This is a small world, we all heard of problogger, shoemoney, johnchow and more new comers like kumiko, maki and oregon look very promising.
But maybe you didn’t realize that blog is bigger then earning ad money, some blogs have really transformed themselves into profitable and solid business.
One very good example is The Coudal, the initially focused is on content and their design service. Now they are selling expensive ad space or products. We notice, as blogging become more and more mature, solid business model emerge.

Wow, this viraltrain things does work, within the 2 days, got few request for putting their links into it. But now we found it this is a bit of work to include all the links into it. We are sure there is a better way to do it.
If you notice, we also join the my-list community for link building, but this work better since we only need to submit once, get notice to put all the link participate after the closing date, that’s it!
