Traffic Travis Review - SEO Desktop Software

Search engine optimization is the technical and design process used to help websites perform well in organic search engine results. Notoriously complex and time-consuming, search engine optimization requires skill and dedication in order to be used effectively.

Traffic Travis is designed to help marketers and website owners optimize and increase the performance of their websites by automating many of these complex and lengthy tasks. The ultimate goal is to increase the amount of traffic to your websites, thus creating more revenue.
The software takes you through a simple, five-step process to optimizing your site:

Step 1: Identify which search terms are most popular.
Step 2: Find your most successful competitors and see what they’re doing right.
Step 3: Optimize your site for keyword density, frequency and position.
Step 4: Build relationships with other sites and find the best people to link to.
Step 5: Monitor your status in the search engines.

Traffic Travis is an extraordinarily comprehensive package with 13 different tools, some for research others for analysis. I own this software and use it almost daily. I've seen other tools on the web selling for DOUBLE what Traffic Travis costs and they don't do even 25% of what Traffic Travis can do.

Just one of the several excellent research tools is Analyze Page, and to me, this tool stands out because of its multiple uses.

Competition within industries is just as fierce online as off and a key part of reaching top position is maintaining a close eye on your competitor’s sites and what strategies they are using to bring traffic. This tool is very easy to use and quickly brings back and compiles all the information from a site that would take hours to find manually. All you need to do is enter the URL of the competitor’s site and Traffic Travis gives you such data as: meta keywords embedded in the site, external and internal links, page rank, images, and word totals. From this information you can see exactly what your competitor is doing that is getting them a great ranking in the search engines!

Analyze Page is also useful when searching for good linking partners. A link exchange is most valuable when the page rank is high and the site has few external links, so the PR value is not too diluted. The Analyze page tool tells you instantly the page rank of each page, lists all external and internal links and contact information – making it very simple to add high quality links to your site.

Apart from research features, Traffic Travis contains some fantastic management features as well. I was particularly impressed with Adwords Manager, which allows you to manage your Adwords campaigns in one location. Normally, you have to login to different accounts separately and go back and forth, in and out of campaigns to view and compare each. However, with Adwords manager, you can just upload your campaigns from all accounts to one single management area. From here, you can create new ads, change details, alter bidding amounts and keywords – everything you would normally do in Google. Then with a click of a button, you can update your ads and Adwords Manager will upload everything to Google.

Traffic Travis was designed by Mark Ling's people at Affilorama. Let me tell you that Mark Ling is one of the TRULY good guys in affiliate marketing. He is dedicated to helping you succeed . Just go to his blog or one his sites. OVERDELIVER must be his middle name.

Traffic Travis is a highly recommended tool in the arsenal of any marketer or website owner (newbie or experienced ) serious about competing effectively – and ultimately reaching top position – in their industry. There are so many exceptional features here and the value is enormous.

Learn Mandarin Chinese

The Best Way to Learn Mandarin -- It Isn’t That Difficult to Learn!

When some people think about learning a foreign language, they often think that it is too difficult, and that they couldn’t possibly do it, regardless of the language. When talking about learning Chinese, most people say not to bother, because it is too difficult, because not only do you have to learn each new vocabulary word like you do with a traditional foreign language, but you also have to learn different characters for each new word you learn in order to read or write it.

Learning Mandarin can be difficult, if you aren’t committed to learning it. If you really want to learn Mandarin, the whole process will be a lot easier and more enjoyable. An important tool for learning a foreign language like Chinese is a support group. Ideally, this support group would include a teacher, who has experience teaching a foreign language. If you can’t find a teacher, you will definitely want to find some other students at about the same level of Chinese, so that you can practice with each other, and ask each other questions when you don’t understand something.
Is Chinese a really hard language to learn? That is a really difficult question to answer, because the answer will vary depending on the person. If you enjoy learning languages, learning Chinese will be a lot easier. Most people think that there are two difficult things about learning Chinese: the tones and the characters.

In Chinese, there are four different tones for each word, and depending on which tone you give, you could change the entire meaning of your sentence. Don’t worry, because while you do have to learn the tones in Mandarin, the rest of the grammar is much simpler than many other languages, including English. The trade off is definitely worth it.

Many Americans find learning characters a difficult thing to do, when studying Mandarin. The difficulty of learning these symbols is often overblown, because these characters are like building blocks. To form a word, you often need two different characters, but once you’ve learned about 1000 different characters, you can read over 90% of texts in Chinese.

Mandarin Chinese is a language that everyone can and should learn. The importance of learning a foreign language has always been stressed, but now Americans should definitely learn one in order to get ahead in the business world, deepen their cultural understanding, and be able to communicate with more people in the world.

Please check out my squidoo lens Learn Mandarin Chinese It has some cool stuff. Especially if you want to learn Mandarin.

Thanks for visiting my blog.
