Si Dogol

Dogol adalah anak semata wayang dari pasangan ibu tuti yang hanya sebagai ibu rumah tangga dan bapak rahmat hanya seorang petani. sebenar nya dia adalah anak yang pandai hanya saja dia malas, pak rahmat berusaha bersusah payah untuk membiayakan anak nya agar dapat bersekolah ke jenjang yang lebih tinggi, namun si dogol hanya memilih untuk putus di jenjang SMK saja.

Si dogol selalu disuruh oleh ayah nya untuk bergegas mencari kerja karena hanya luntang lantung tidak jelas di rumah nya hanya hal itu yang ia lakukan di setiap hari nya, si ayah nya pun mulai bosan untuk menasehati dogol karena tak kunjung juga sadar untuk mencari kerja.

“dogol coba dong kamu cari kerja nak untuk mebantu ayah agar tidak terlalu berat untuk membeli biaya makan setiap hari nya apalagi ayah kan udah tua nak” suruh sang ayah, “ah males lah pak mending dogol tidur dogol capek pak kalo dogol harus kerja, sekolah aja capek pak apalagi kerja” jawab dogol dengan nada tinggi, dogol pun bergegas untuk menuju kasur tercinta nya dan kembali lah dia tidur tanpa menghiraukan apa yang di katakan ayah nya tadi, sedangkan sang ayah kembali menggelengkan kepala nya untuk kesekian kali nya seolah tidak percaya kalau si anak tunggal nya itu tidak pernah mendengar kan nasehat orang tua nya sekali pun, dan menuju lah pak rahmat ke tempat biasa ia mencari nafkah.

Bahagia Dalam Keheningan

noreply@blogger.com (mis44di) — Thu, 27 Apr 2017 21:18:00 +0000

Seorang klien datang ke saya untuk minta tolong. Masalah klien ini yaitu dia merasa hidupnya saat ini hampa. Padahal ia bukan orang sembarangan. Telah banyak yang ia capai dalam hidupnya. Karir dan bisnisnya cemerlang. Keluarganya juga sangat ok. Terus, apa yang salah dengan klien ini?

Setelah berdikusi beberapa saat saya menemukan apa yang menjadi akar masalahnya. Ternyata ia jarang memberikan waktu untuk dirinya sendiri. Pikirannya terlalu aktif. Keinginannya banyak dan ia ingin mencapainya sekaligus sehingga ia merasa ada tekanan yang sangat tinggi.

Apa yang saya sarankan untuk ia lakukan? Mudah. Saya hanya minta klien ini melakukan meditasi setiap pagi sekitar 30 menit.

Waktu mendengar saran ini reaksinya adalah, “Lho, kok meditasi? Saya justru merasa kalau waktu saya ini sangat kurang. Saya berharap kalau bisa satu hari bukan 24 jam tapi 30 jam”.

Pembaca, mengapa saya menyarankan klien ini melakukan meditasi?

Alasannya begini. Saat kita (sangat) sibuk maka pikiran kita sangat aktif. Aktifnya pikiran tentu akan sangat menguras energi (psikis) kita. Pikiran yang aktif ini membuat tungku mental kita panas. Belum lagi emosi atau mood yang kurang kondusif akibat tekanan pekerjaan. Semua ini memb

(Bel Berbunyi) Pagi menjelang subuh aku telah dibangunkan oleh suara bel yang sangat keras. Bergegas aku menuju kamar mandi untuk cuci muka dan wudhu, setelah itu aku dan kawan-kawanku mengambil peralatan sholat dari mulai sarung sampai peci.
Kemudian aku dan kawanku pergi ke masjid untuk sholat subuh berjama’ah, lalu setelah sholat berjama’ah aku langsung setoran hafalan qur’an kepada guruku..

“Gak tau deh, coba kita cari bareng yuk. siapa tau ketemu..” Jawab Ali

Lara Prihatini Si Gadis Prihatin

noreply@blogger.com (mis44di) — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 15:45:00 +0000

Malam yang sunyi, itulah yang senantiasa menemani malam malam ku. Tak ada yang istimewa, bintang bertaburan seperti biasanya ditemani bulan separuh yang berwarna putih. Sesekali terdengar suara lolongan anjing yang sedikit membuat bulu roma merinding. No body special! padahal aku sangat menginginkan kehadiran tiga sosok inspiratif bagiku biarpun aku belum sempat mengenalnya, merabanya, merasakan hangat dekap tubuhnya, melihat indah senyum dan kelembutan tangannya. Ya itulah nasib sialku.

Akulah Lara Prihatini, gadis malang 19 tahun yang sejak kecil telah ditinggal mati kedua orangtuaku karena kecelakaan maut di daerah Jakarta Selatan 14 tahun silam. Sungguh menyedihkan memang. Waktu itu, aku dan adikku yang baru berumur 2 tahun hanya bisa menangis terisak isak menyaksikan kedua orangtuaku dibawa dengan ambulan lalu dimasukkan ke dalam keranda mayat dan dibawa dengan iringan lantunan shalawat menuju tempat peristirahatan terakhir mereka. Aku dan adikku yang masih kecil tak sanggup berbuat banyak apalagi adikku belum mengerti tentang kematian, mungkin ia mengira ayah dan ibu pergi rekreasi sebentar dan akan pulang dalam waktu dekat. Sejak kejadian itu, aku dan adikku dirawat oleh nenek dari ayah yang juga sudah renta. Beliau pun harus bekerja sebagai buruh cuci untuk membesarkan kami. Sungguh posisi yang sangat tertekan di tengah keterbatasan.

Mengapa Kucing Selalu Mengejar Tikus

noreply@blogger.com (mis44di) — Sat, 11 Mar 2017 06:00:00 +0000

Pada zaman dahulu sebenarnya kucing adalah sahabat baik tikus,tetapi…

Pada suatu hari,kucing mendengar kerbau berkata:Kaisar Langit akan memilih 12 hewan sebagai shio manusia bagi yg ingin ikut silakan mendaftar.

Malam itu juga sang kucing berkata kepada tikus: "Kita besok pagi pagi sekali kita akan ikut mendaftar, kalau aku tidak bisa bangun pagi, maka kamu harus membangunkan aku."

Tikus berkata: "Baik."

Esok pagi saat pendaftaran sudah dibuka, tikus sudah bangun pagi pagi sekali. Namun ia sengaja tidak membangunkan kucing untuk ikut pergi.

Ia pergi mengendap endap dengan tidak membangunkan kucing. Setelah dengan pergi mengendap endap ia sampai di Kerajaan Langit.

Ia menjadi yang paling pagi di tempat itu.

Setelah itu, datanglah kerbau, macan, kelinci, naga, ular, kuda, kambing, monyet, ayam, anjing, dan babi.

Merekalah adalah 12 hewan shio manusia sekarang ini.

Setelah kucing bangun dan mendengar berita itu menjadi marahlah ia. Dan ia menetapkan dimanapun ada tikus aku akan mengejarnya walaupun sampai ke ujung bumi.

Maka sejak saat itulah kucing dan tikus selalu

bermusuhan.

Beberapa hari yang lampau saya harus bertemu dengan seorang pejabat tinggi di salah satu hotel bintang lima di pusat kota Amsterdam, maka dari itu saya harus melewati daerah kumuh tempat para gelandangan dan pecandu disitu.

Tiba-tiba saya mendengar panggilan "Selamat pagi Tuan!", saya menoleh kebelakang dan saya melihat seorang pengemis tua dengan wajah yang kotor, dekil dan bau alkohol rupanya ia sudah ber-minggu2 tidak mandi. Pakaiannya pun bau dan kotornya sudah tak terlukiskan lagi. Pengemis ini sedang memegang cangkir besar yang berisikan kopi panas. Ia menawarkan kepada saya "Maukah Bapak minum seteguk dari air kopi saya?"

Dalam hati saya jangankan minum dari cangkirnya dekat dengan diapun rasanya sudah muak dan jijik, apalagi kalau melihat kumis dan jangutnya yang masih penuh dengan sisa2 makanan dari kemarin. Disamping itu kalau saya minum dari cangkir bekas dia, jangan2 nanti saya akan ketularan penyakit AIDS?

Logika dan otak saya melarang saya untuk menerima tawaran tsb, tetapi hati nurani saya menganjurkannya: "Percuma lho ke gereja tiap minggu, kalau lho masih mempunyai pikiran dan praduga buruk terhadap orang lain!" Akhirnya saya datang ke pak tua itu dan minum seteguk kopinya, tetapi logika dan pikiran saya berjalan terus. "Apa sih maksud si pak tua ini, menawarkan kopinya kepada saya, jangan2 ia mau minta duit!"

Tetapi saya sudah siap dan ikhlas untuk memberikan uang kepadanya sebagai imbalan da

Ada sebuah cerita Cina kuno tentang seorang laki-laki tua yang sikapnya dalam memandang kehidupan berbeda sama sekali dengan orang-orang lain di desanya.

Rupanya laki-laki tua ini hanya mempunyai seekor kuda, dan pada suatu hari kudanya kabur. Para tetangganya datang dan menaruh belas kasihan kepadanya, mengatakan kepadanya betapa mereka ikut sedih karena kemalangan yang menimpanya.

Jawabannya membuat mereka heran.

"Tapi bagaimana kalian tahu itu kemalangan?" dia bertanya.

Beberapa hari kemudian kudanya pulang, dan ikut bersamanya dua ekor kuda liar. Sekarang si laki-laki tua punya tiga ekor kuda. Kali ini, tetangga-tetangganya mengucapkan selamat atas kemujurannya.

"Tapi bagaimana kalian tahu itu kemujuran?" dia menjawab.

Pada hari berikutnya, sementara sedang berusaha menjinakkan salah seekor kuda liar, anak laki-lakinya jatuh dan kakinya patah.

Sekali lagi, para tetangga datang, kali ini untuk menghibur si laki-laki tua karena kecelakaan yang menimpa anaknya.

"Tapi bagaimana kalian tahu itu kemalangan?" dia bertanya.

Kali ini, semua tetangganya menarik kesimpulan bahwa pikiran si tua kacau dan tidak ingin lagi berurusan dengannya.

Walaupun demikian, keesokan harinya penguasa perang datang ke desa dan mengambil semua laki-laki yang sehat untuk dibawa ke medan pertempuran. Tetapi anak si laki-laki tua tidak ikut diam

Saya terperangah oleh data kebutaan, di dunia maupun di negeri kita. Setiap tiga menit, ada tambahan satu orang buta di Indonesia. Tiap tiga menit, satu saudara kita tiba-tiba tak lagi dapat melihat indahnya dunia.

Anda ingin tahu rasanya jadi buta? Anda bisa mengalaminya untuk sementara di mana saja. Kalau mau sambil makan minum di cafe, pergilah ke Jalan Pasirkaliki 16 C-D, tidak jauh dari Stasiun Kereta Api Bandung. Di sana ada Blind Cafe. Di sana ada sensasi ” menjadi buta sementara”.

Konsep cafe dan restoran itu memang lain dari yang lain. Karena itu sensasional dan bikin kita pingin tahu, mencoba dan merasakannya. Setelah pesan makan minum, sebelum memasuki ruangan yang serba gelap pekat, Anda akan diminta meninggalkan barang apa pun yang bisa menghasilkan cahaya. Rokok dimatikan. Korek api dan hp tak akan boleh masuk. Sensasi mulai, ketika Anda dan teman-teman atau keluarga Anda berjalan satu per satu dengan berpegangan pundak orang di depannya, menuju tempat duduk. Anda dan teman-teman Anda pasti cekikikan.

Belasan tahun yang lalu, saya dan seorang kawan mengendarai sebuah sepeda motor menuju ke suatu daerah di luar kota Makassar. Motor yang kami kendarai adalah motor dengan jenis mesin 2 tak. Saat itu saya memegang kemudi motor tersebut. Di saat kami tengah asyik menikmati perjalanan, dan di saat rumah-rumah penduduk sudah mulai jarang terlihat di sepanjang perjalanan, tiba-tiba kami dikejutkan dengan menyalanya sebuah lampu indikator berwarna merah yang terdapat di panel instrument.

Kami tahu bahwa lampu indikator berwarna merah tersebut menandakan bahwa oli samping motor yang kami kendarai sebentar lagi akan habis. Dan itu berarti kami hanya memiliki dua pilihan. Pertama, tidak peduli atau bahkan marah-marah serta menyesal menggunakan motor 2 tak, atau kedua, mulai berdoa dan mengundurkan kecepatan motor serta berharap-harap cemas, semoga kami segera menemukan stasiun pengisian bahan bakar atau paling tidak penduduk setempat yang menjual bensin sekaligus oli samping. Jika pilihan pertama yang kami ambil, maka kamilah yang akan menyesal kemudian, juga akan menjadi sangat kerepotan dengan dengan keadaan tersebut. Karena jika sampai oli samping motor tersebut betul-betul habis, maka bukan hanya mesin motorn

Tak terasa kita umat muslim sudah sepekan menunaikan ibadah puasa Ramdhan. Di Indonesia Ramadhan kali ini bisa dibilang berbeda dengan tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Jika tahun sebelumnya Ramadhan banyak diwarnai wacana dan pertarungan politik—mulai dari pilkada sampai pilpres—tapi sekarang tidak demikian.

Masih tersimpan di otak penulis pada Ramadhan tahun lalu perbincangan dan perdebatan tentang politik dan isu-isu negara sangat mewarnai Ramadhan, sehingga kayaknya tiada hari tanpa politik waktu itu. Untuk itu, pada Ramadhan kali ini setidaknya benar-benar bisa bibuat refleksi dalam memajukan dan pemperbaiki keadaan bangsa yang baru saja melaksanakan pemilihan presiden.

Banyak kasus dan fenomena negatif yang sedang melanda bangsa Indonesia ini, mulai dari ironi kalangan intelek sampai keadaan politik (baca: pemimpin) kita yang tidak pro rakyat. Terjadinya bom kuningan itu menunjukkan ironi kalangan intelek—karena penulis yakin yang melaukan hal itu bukan orang ti

Suatu ketika, hiduplah seorang tua yang bijak.

Pada suatu pagi, datanglah seorang anak muda yang sedang dirundung banyak masalah. Langkahnya gontai dan air muka yang ruwet. Tamu itu, memang tampak seperti orang yang tak bahagia. Tanpa membuang waktu, orang itu menceritakan semua masalahnya.

Pak Tua yang bijak, hanya mendengarkannya dengan seksama. Ia lalu mengambil segenggam garam, dan meminta tamunya untuk mengambil segelas air. Ditaburkannya garam itu kedalam gelas, lalu diaduknya perlahan.

"Coba, minum ini, dan katakan bagaimana rasanya...", ujar Pak Tua itu.

"Pahit. Pahit sekali", jawab sang tamu, sambil meludah kesamping.

Pak Tua itu, sedikit tersenyum. Ia, lalu mengajak tamunya ini, untuk berjalan ke tepi telaga di dalam hutan dekat tempat tinggalnya.

Kedua orang itu berjalan berdampingan, dan akhirnya sampailah mereka ke tepi telaga yang tenang itu. Pak Tua itu, lalu kembali menaburkan segenggam garam, ke dalam telaga itu. Dengan sepotong kayu, dibuatnya gelombang mengaduk-aduk dan tercipta riak air, mengusik ketenangan telaga itu.

"Coba, ambil air dari telaga ini, dan minumlah".

Saat anak muda itu selesai mereguk air itu, Pak Tua berkata lagi, "Bagaimana rasanya?"

"Segar", sahut tamunya.

Aku terdiam sepi, membeku di sudut ruangan yang seharusnya ramai. Perlahan air mataku meleleh. Mungkin, aku memang tidak terlalu kuat untuk menghadapi semua ini sendiri. Pikiranku mulai melayang-layang ke masa lalu, tepatnya setahun silam saat usiaku genap 16 tahun. Hari itu hari yang cerah, matahari mengintip di antara celah-celah pohon di samping rumah dan menembus jendela dengan gorden warna ungu muda di kamarku. Aku masih bermalas-malasan di ranjang empuk berselimut tebal itu.

Membaca itu Penting

noreply@blogger.com (mis44di) — Sun, 18 Sep 2016 18:38:00 +0000

“Saya pilih menjadi orang miskin yang tinggal di pondok penuh buku daripada menjadi raja yang tak punya hasrat untuk membaca.” Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859), sejarawan Inggris.

Membaca merupakan aktifitas yang menyenangkan sekaligus mencerahkan. Membaca membantu kita lebih berwawasan, sukses dan hidup lebih baik. Tetapi ternyata kegemaran membaca belum dimiliki mayoritas orang, sebab mereka belum mengerti berjuta manfaat dari membaca. Berikut ini adalah beberapa manfaat dari membaca, yang mungkin dapat menggugah semangat dan kemauan Anda untuk melahap isi buku-buku bacaan.

1. Membaca membangun pondasi yang kuat untuk dapat mempelajari dan memahami berbagai disiplin ilmu sekaligus mengaplikasikan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. 2. Senang membaca meningkatkan kecerdasan verbal dan lingusitik karena membaca memperkaya kosa kata dan kekuatan kata-kata. 3. Membaca mencegah rabun mata, karena membaca melatih dan mengaktifkan otot-otot mata. 4.

7 Tips on How to Promote Your Website

noreply@blogger.com (mis44di) — Sun, 03 May 2009 08:23:00 +0000

Often when people start an internet business they don't have a clue how to go about their marketing campaign. They end up posting ads aimlessly to places that do nothing but send them spam and waste time and money. Then, after a couple weeks without results, they give up. And it it happening with people everyday. So, in this section we will look at a number of techniques which you can use to your advantage when promoting your new website. When used correctly these marketing techniques will dramatically increase traffic and sales without emptying your bank account.

1. Web Classifieds & Directories

Good quality links - especially from webpages on a similar topic to yours - are crucial to getting ranked well in the search engine results. The search engines figure that sites with more good links to them are more important & will reward them with better rankings. And, of course, people will find your site through links too. So submitting your site to a quality directories and and placing adds on a high rated classified sites will not only bring more people to your website but also will help search engines to find your website faster and also will increase your site rating in search engines. read more on classifieds or read more on directories

2. Link Exchanges

This is a fantastic way to increase the importance of your website in the eyes of the search engines. The rationale that the search engines use is that if other sites are linking to yours, then your site must be important. A link from another site to your site is considered a "vote" for your site. The more of these votes, the better; to an extent, of course. Steer clear of such black hat techniques as link farms and free for all (FFA) sites. I recommend starting by asking your vendors, suppliers and customers if they could link to your site in exchange for a link to theirs. You could then branch out into related businesses that service a different audience. read more

3. Search Engine Submission

This step is critical for any brand new website. You'll want to let the major search engines know that your new site exists, and prompting them to visit it with a search engine submission campaign is a great start. Don't bother buying a big 1500-engine submission package ? there's only about 7 to 10 major search engines worth worrying about, and once you're listed on these, the other 1490 will pick you up (not that they'll send you any measurable traffic?). The controversy here is whether or not to continue a submission campaign. Does it help an established site? Does it hurt it? A big tip to give you here is to be sure to work hard to get your site listed in the important directories like Google and Yahoo. read more

4. Electronic Newsletter / EMAIL Marketing

An electronic newsletter is a fantastic method for staying in touch with not only existing customers, but potential customers as well. Provide useful, interesting information on a regular basis and be sure that people can subscribe and unsubscribe easily. Utilizing a good tool (e.g. auto responder or follow up service) will make your life easier and allow people to forward the newsletter to their friends and colleagues (known as Viral Marketing). You can also use the newsletter as a vehicle for announcements or specials. Never charge anything to subscribers, and build your list by running contests or promotions or free giveaways. read more

5. Article Writing

Writing articles is another great way to generate a lot of quality traffic as well as make a name for yourself on the internet. All you do is write on a topic you know about and submit it to places that accept article submissions. This one scares people at first because they don't think they can write. Trust me it's not as hard as you may think to find a topic you know something about. Then just write a couple pages about it. For example: I never used to think I could write articles but you are reading this one right now, aren't you? read more

6. Forum Submissions

Basically all you do with this one is go to internet business forums and post answers to people's questions. This one is more for making a solid reputation for yourself as a knowledgeable and trustworthy individual. read more

7. Pay-per-click

I saved this one until last as I believe it is the single most important item in this list. If you remember nothing else from this article, remember pay-per-click (or PPC). By paying for visits from people who are searching on keywords related to your product or service, you are almost ensuring that your website will generate more revenue with a higher conversion rate of visitors to customers. The more popular programs include Google AdWords, Overture Content Match and Site Match, as well as smaller players like FindWhat, Kanoodle and Mamma. read more

What NOT to do when promoting your business - Do not send out unsolicited (spam) emails to people. All that will do is get you in trouble and won't produce very good results anyway. Don't post to FFA (free for all) sites. All you will get back from them is a bunch of junk in your inbox so it's not worth your time. Also, don't use unethical business practices of any kind. If you are not sure about something then ask someone. Always use your better judgment.

Traffic Generation Using Article

Traffic Generation Using Article Marketing
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Sean_Mize]Sean Mize

Traffic generation is one of the most important things you can do online to create a long term income. You see, no matter how well you do everything else you do online, if you do not have traffic, you will not do business.

There are a multitude of ways to create traffic to your web site. You can buy traffic, borrow traffic, or create traffic. And article marketing falls under the category of creating traffic. So when you are creating traffic with article marketing, what type of traffic are you creating?

Article marketing traffic creates clickthroughs by interested humans who generally want to know more about exactly your topic. What more could you ask for from a visitor?

As opposed to traffic that you buy, or even traffic that you borrow (referred traffic), you are creating a one-on-one personal relationship with your traffic. This has an exponential effect on the long-term value of your traffic.

Article marketing traffic is simply a higher quality, prescreened form of traffic, than just about any other form of traffic.

You see, when you develop traffic via article marketing, you drive highly targeted traffic to your web site, traffic that has already evaluated you and decided that to some degree you ‘click’ with their concepts, with their online drives and desires.

I challenge you to begin to use article marketing to generate traffic to your web pages. Test it – set up a mirror web site just for article marketing, so you can test traffic, and so you can test profitability.

7 Easy Steps to Increase Your Blog Traffic

noreply@blogger.com (mis44di) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 07:04:00 +0000

7 Easy Steps to Increase Your Blog Traffic
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jo_Mark]Jo Mark

More and more people are establishing blogs every day. Blogging provides an easy way to get a web site online to start an online business without any knowledge of html or any other computer language. But one thing every blog has in common is the need for traffic. Regardless of whether you use a blog or web site, you need traffic to be successful.

Use these 7 easy steps to increase your blog traffic:

1. It is very important to confine your blog posts to one specific topic. This is called your niche. By writing on a single subject, you will acquire loyal readers who are looking for fresh information in that field. If your log posts talk about everything under the sun, you will not gain many loyal followers (unless your blog is very entertaining or funny).

2. In addition, the search engines will reward your site if all of the information it contains is on one single topic. This alone is a very powerful reason to select a niche. Search engines can bring you a significant amount of traffic and are definitely worth courting.

3. Add fresh exclusive content to your blog on a regular basis. Post new information as often as you can and try to do it on a consistent basis. It is better to post one article every other day than to submit 15 articles once a month. By doing it every other day, the search engines will visit your blog on a regular basis and give your site a higher ranking. This will increase your site's visibility and bring your blog traffic.

4. Submit you blog to as many different blog directories as possible. There are a number of services that will take care of this tedious work for you, but it is an important step in getting traffic, especially when the site is new.

5. You should also submit your site to the RSS feed submission sites.

Domain names are an integral part of marketing your website. It is important that people would recognize your domain name in order for your website to generate traffic. So here are some tips that can help you decide on what domain name for your website.

Be Creative. There are millions of domain names in the Internet. So you should be able to find one of your own that hasn’t been used yet. People often use names very similar to popular websites.

Traffic by Using an E-Mail

noreply@blogger.com (mis44di) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 08:03:00 +0000

Getting Repeat Traffic by Using an E-Mail List
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Guido_Nussbaum]Guido Nussbaum

Pulling people into your website in order to have them look at your content is something that many webmasters spend a lot of time doing. They use search engine optimization, forum marketing and article marketing in order to achieve this goal. Some of them are very successful in making sure that there is a steady stream of incoming traffic into their website. What would happen, however, if the majority of these visitors were simply coming to your website and then clicking away without really taking a look at what you have to offer? Unfortunately, this is what happens to many of us and although we can pull the traffic in initially, we need to find a way to get them coming back for more.

One of the easiest ways for you to be able to do this is by building an e-mail list from your existing traffic. Although this can be a bit difficult, there are some ways that you can make sure that people are signing up for what you have to say on a regular basis. Not only can you market to these people through your e-mail list, you may be able to pull them back in to read whatever content you are adding to your blog or website. Let's take a look at how you can get these people to sign up for your newsletter and then what you can do once you have them subscribed to keep them coming back for more.

One of the most popular ways of getting people to sign up for an e-mail list is by using a squeeze page. Unfortunately, this cannot always be incorporated into an existing website, especially if you get a lot of traffic through the search engines. Although most people say that they hate pop-up windows, they are still a very effective way of getting people to sign up for your list. The real key is using the pop-up window in an unobtrusive way by offering something that they would be interested in for free. The only thing that you would need to test is whether you would get a better response from a pop-up window that happen when they came in to the site or one that took place whenever they decided to leave. Use a cookie to turn off the pop-up window after an individual has already subscribed.

Once they are all on your list, you can get them to come back to your website in a number of different ways. First of all, you can e-mail them a little snippet of information anytime you post something to your website. Try to make it enticing, both in the subject line of the e-mail and in the body. Many people will look forward to getting these e-mails from you and will readily click over to your website. This is one of the most effective ways of getting people to visit you on a regular basis and to keep coming back for more, every time you have something new to say.

4 White Hat Techniques

Increase Website Traffic How To - 4 White Hat Techniques
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Kurt_Schmitt]Kurt Schmitt

Methods to increase website traffic are being spun, packaged, wrapped up in e-literature, and sold for a price. Some of these methods work. Unfortunately, a number of them are also known as "black hat" or are borderline black hat and will only work for a short period of time. They'll probably stop working right about the time you buy the ebook, or get around to reading it and trying it out. Since I'm sure you're taking a long term approach to your website, you'll want to dedicate your time and effort to creating a more lasting, and less risky, traffic building model.

While the tricks might work for a while, I'd like to talk about some "white hat" methods that result in lasting traffic. They may not be sexy, and they aren't "secrets" or anything mysterious, but they work. In fact, these methods will work to produce free traffic for many months and years to come.

Article marketing -- There are a number of benefits to using article marketing and other than building pages, it's the number one method I use to increase website traffic. If written correctly, your posted articles will often rank high in the engines and you can end up with several top listings. The article directory sites have a lot of trust and authority with Google, and provide an excellent backlink to your site.

The article directories can send you direct traffic. This traffic is normally very targeted delivering visitors who already trust you and are often warm to becoming loyal visitors and customers. Once your article is published, other websites will republish your article with your backlink. Your job is done as soon as you publish, yet the viral effect created by republishing can live on for years. You can continue to get new backlinks without any further effort.

Making your site delicious -- The best social bookmark is one you don't have to do yourself. You can encourage your visitors to bookmark your pages by placing icons on your site with links to popular social bookmarking sites (such as addthis.com). Bookmarking can dramatically increase the backlinks to your site with minimal effort. In addition, if you bookmark other sites that link to yours, you can improve your rankings in the search engines.

Adding pages -- You can never go wrong by building more content. More pages not only means more value for your visitor, it also means more linking opportunities, more PageRank, and more hooks for the search engines to bite into. The long term result, of course, is increasing website traffic. Many sites will come and go, and it's important to create content so that your site becomes a valuable resource. Content equals staying power.

Social media and community sites -- Many people think of Reddit and Digg, but forget about repurposing their content on other social media sites. Instead of trying to play the very difficult game of who's going to Digg me, you should look at user generated content sites that allow you to post a link to your site. Start with the biggest ones first, as they offer great backlinks and the potential for high traffic. These include Hubpages, Squidoo, and Buzzle, as well as a number of up and coming community sites published on the Ning platform and others.

These are not the only effective white hat methods to increase website traffic, but they certainly work to produce lasting results with no risk. Individually they work well, and in combination they're even more powerful. So forget about those short-lived techniques that might get you banned, and increase your visitor count with these long term strategies.

3 Types of Affiliate Traffic

The 3 Types of Affiliate Traffic and How You Can Use Them
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mark_Voce]Mark Voce

Where does traffic come from? Whether you have just started to think about affiliate marketing or already have your own website or blog you need to outline where you are going to get your traffic from. What are the options you can use to get traffic into your website?

Pay for it

You can buy traffic, the most common way is to use what is known as Pay Per Click or PPC advertising. One of the most popular types of this is Google Adwords, these are the sponsored links you see on Google's search result pages.

You create a short advert, about 150 characters. Define a list of keywords. Setup a maximum bid and a daily budget. When somebody searches for one of your chosen keywords your advert will appear in the sponsored listings, when somebody clicks on your advert Google will charge you.

The cost per click and the position of your advert depend on 2 factors, 1. How much are you willing to pay for each click or each visitor. 2. How relevant your advert is to your web page. For example if you are selling widgets, your web page must contain lots of references to widgets, your advert must contain widgets and you must have widgets in your keywords.

Borrow it

This is for those who are more advanced at affiliate marketing and have their own product to sell. You can borrow traffic from existing successful affiliate marketers. If you have a product that would compliment their product or that diverges into a slightly different niche you can try and get a joint partnership or a JP as its sometimes known.

How can you do this? You can offer to feature the other marketer on your website if they do the same. You can write reviews on their product and give customers a bonus if they buy a product from you. The idea behind joint ventures is that you instantly have access to a new customer base and together both partners can make more cash.

Create it

You can create your own traffic? This method is free but takes time. There are hundreds perhaps thousands of different ways you can create your own traffic. I will run you through 2 of my preferred methods.

1. Articles, just like this one. You can write articles on your chosen niche or product and submit them to article directories on the web. These articles can contain a signature field that lets the reader take further steps and learn more about your product or the subject matter you are writing about. The single most important benefit of articles is that they exist forever, if you write good, popular articles they will keep bringing traffic to your site day after day, year after year.(

2. Videos are the next big thing. 50% of all web traffic is video content. YouTube alone gets 12% of all the traffic on the web. Wow. Thats a lot of visitors. How can you harness this power. Simply create videos, now I know you dont have a film studio at home and you don't need to. You can use a webcam on your computer or a digital video camera if you have one. You don't even need to video yourself you can video your computer screen as you take the viewer on a trip into what ever your chosen subject is. You can show them existing websites, how to use products and why you recommend certain resources.

I wish you the best of success.
