As my regular readers will know, I generate traf f ic to the blog by reaching outand engaging with my target audience directly.

It is the only thing I do to drive traf f ic to the site and I do that purely bygetting involved with other blogs, f orums, Q&A sites and social networks.

It is an absolutely f antastic tool that I use as part of my promotion strategyf or an hour every single day.

Today you are going to learn how to increase traf f ic to your blog.

In January 2013 alone, I made a grand total of $9,511.93 dollars due to the9,485 unique visitors of my blog using this exact traf f ic generation strategy.

Buzzbundle, which was created by the masterminds of SEO Powersuite, is one of the tools I have been usingeach morning the past 4 months to promote my blog.

It saves me a bunch of t ime by looking f or my target audience f or me and making it simple to connect withthem!

My Personal Project

First, let’s start with my own Buzzbundle main page. Here is what my Buzzbundle looks like.

Here are the 3 columns: blogs and f orums, Q &A sites, and social networks.

The highlighted terms you see onscreen are the keywords I told Buzzbundle to search f or.

Yahoo Answer Example

Bef ore we jump into all the details of Buzzbundle, let’s check out one example to get an idea of how it works.

In the Q&A column, here is someone on Yahoo Answers wanting to know what t iered link building is. Since Ihave the perf ect answer to that question with my tiered linking building tutorials, I will reply with this comment.

“Hi there, I have published an informative post about tiered linking building that might interest you. You can read ithere and feel free to ask me any further questions.”

I insert the link at the end and submit my answer.

You can check out the website itself and see that my answer has been posted.

This is a great example to show how powerf ul Buzzbundle is. It makes it very simple to submit responses tomultiple blogs and f orums with just a f ew clicks!

How to Setup a Buzzbundle Campaign

Let’s get started!

Here are the f ollowing steps to setup a campaign.

1. Select Create New Project

2. Add your website URL and click Next

3. Enter the keyword(s) you want it to search f or and bring back related conversations

4. Choose the social media and networks you want and click Finish

Now, I’m going to promote my recent post about these backlink checkers: Ahref s, SEOMoz, Raven Tools, SEOSpyglass and Majestic SEO.

I enter the backlink checkers listed above as my keywords and the sof tware will pull up relevant postscontaining these terms.

One post that came back was written by Ann Smarty, about Ahref s vs Majestic SEO. We will use thisinf ormation later on.

Change Layout

I want to change the layout of the columns to make it easier to read. Click the cog on the top right, click editand you can add/remove columns as you like.

I pref er to separate my columns out to f orums & blogs, Q & A sites which mention my keyword and website andsocial networks.

You can sort your columns out however you want. Don’t f orget to add and remove keywords in the optionssection depending on the content you are looking f or.

Monitoring Competitors

There is also an option available to monitor the mentioning of competitors based on the keywords yourtracking.

This helps out because you can get involved with conversations talking about your competitors.

Very handy!

Sett ing Up Proxies

Check under proxy rotation to import all of your private proxies.

If you are searching f or a great deal of keywords and URL’s, proxies will be necessary to get the optimalsearch results.

You can use something like BuyProxies semi-dedicated ones. But if you are just using a f ew keywords thenthere is no need.

Persona and Prof ile Setup

Almost done!

Now we need to register our persona. Type in your name, username, a password and an email address.Buzzbundle will also request the password to your specif ied email account in order to check and verif y emails.

You can also include a prof ile picture.

On the last step (step 3), you can include any personal details such as date of birth, gender, location and ashort “About” section.

Now you can add your prof iles such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.

Enter your existing account inf ormation. You can create a new account through Buzzbundle and it will handlethe whole process f or you.

Click f inish and they will be added to your persona.

Congratulations, you have just set up your brand new Buzzbundle account!

Let’s Start Buzzing!

First, f ind target audience – Enter your designated keywords. I just added a couple more search keywords:backlink checker and check backlinks to my original keyword list.

Click Find Buzz.

Now Buzzbundle will pull up all relevant posts with my list of keywords.

Second, engage directly – In the column f or f orums & blogs, I will comment on this conversation about analternative f or Yahoo Site Explorer.

“Hi I have written a detailed post comparing the best backlink checker tools to see how they performed.”

I submit my answer and it is posted!

Here someone is asking about an alternative sof tware to Raven tools and I know I can def initely help them outwith that. I respond to this question with my content included.

“Hi I recently wrote a tutorial comparing different tools such as Raven Tools. Check it out and see if it helps!”

I click OK and submit my comment. Simple as that.

Social Network Engagement

On the Social Networks column, there is a f ilter option to weed out posts depending on your search.

Let’s search f or @Sejournal to f ind all the users who retweeted the post we f ound earlier written by Ann

Smarty.

This way I can f ind my target audience since I have also written a similar post about SEO that I can promote.

I reply with my own tweet to this user, “Hi, if you liked this post then you will want to check out this one.”

Click OK and my tweet has been posted.

You can do this as many times as you like and there is also an option to add location, an attachment, shortenthe URL and schedule tweets.

The Power of Buzzbundle

This is how I have been using Buzzbundle to build and boost traf f ic. Imagine the results if you did this a couplehours a day!

I have added more keywords to my search, anything that is related to the content I have published so I candiscover more of my targeted audience.

I will be adding Buzzbundle and Buzz bundle af ter this review to include that in my search.

My strategy is to simply f ind my target audience and engage them by suggesting my content they might beinterested in.

I am helping people out and they are in turn subscribing to my blog, buying through my af f iliates and sharing myarticles.

Buzzbundle makes it incredibly easy to do just that!

To f urther show how ef f ective Buzzbundle is, Kevin, one of the people I tweeted earlier replied back with thistweet.

He is now introduced to my website, engaged and will most likely join my mailing list.

Final Thoughts
