I learned from a very respected website traffic expert that you get 80% of your results in your site traffic drive from 20% of your efforts.
If this is true (and it is true), won't it be a great idea to get to know what your current 20% is so you can forget about the less beneficial 80% and concentrate on what drives most of your results? This is key to working less for more results.
You just don't want to work hard.
You must learn to work smart or you'll spend days on end doing stuff that will only send in trickles of traffic.
That's not good.
So how do you push the envelope? You have to test and track.
Don't believe it just because someone said so.
Find it out.
Verify it.
Prove it in your case.
Look at the results of your test and then refine and refire.
The more you do this, the more you get to the core of what really gets you results.
You'll then be right to eliminate the rest.
There are popular untruths about traffic generation.
You'll only find out when you start testing.
If you're not the very technical type, taking time out to really look at the details of your site's log will tell you a lot.
But if you fancy a challenge that yields huge dividends, then track all you do.
Track all you can track.
When you see results that show you contrary to popular opinion, run against the mass.
You want massive traffic not victory at popularity polls.
