How are your numbers? Are you happy with the number of visitors coming to your site each day?

There are many ways to get visitors, such as article marketing, leaving comments (not spam) at various niche-related blogs, submitting to social bookmarking and social news sites, putting up Squidoo lenses, and so on. Some people who read your articles, see your comments, or visit your Squidoo lens will follow the link to your site.

But the rules are constantly changing. Now there is Twitter, Mashable, Pownce and more that you can use to drive visitors to your site. How do you keep up with it all? Where do you hear about the latest Web 2.0 techniques?

You can join social sites such as Social Marketing Central (click the link in the sidebar). That’s a social site, similar in purpose to Facebook and MySpace, but for marketers interested in Web 2.0. At Social Marketing Central people discuss the best Web 2.0 tools.

You can also join memberships such as Social Power Linking. For less than $1 a day you get excellent training for getting links to your site. If you sign up for 3 months, 6 months, or a year, you get significant discounts.

They have one training in particular that walks you through 60 days to getting more traffic to your site. I’m going through it now, and it is top-notch.

If you don’t have a blog yet and do not know how to set one up, then Authority Site Center is the place to start. There you get a blog set up for you, in whatever niche you choose. You get the training for selecting a niche, including researching keywords and more, all for about $3 a day. That is a great bargain considering all you get for that price.

Authority Site Center has gone through some major upgrades in the last year. They have a well-organized training center that walks you through every step, from researching possible niches to optimizing your blog for search engine optimization, and everything in between.

I’ve been with them for over 2 years. Before I signed up with ASC I was wandering. I had no idea how to decide on a niche, how to choose keywords, how to set up a blog, or how to monetize it. I can’t say enough good things about ASC.

So here are three possible memberships to keep current on the latest Web 2.0 techniques:

• Social Marketing Central, which is a no-cost membership
• Social Power Linking, which is a very-low-cost membership
• Authority Site Center, which is a low-cost membership

There are memberships out there that cost hundreds of dollars a month. I don’t think it is necessary to break the bank when there are great alternatives that cost so little.

If you need complete training, including niche research, keyword research, and so on, I highly recommend Authority Site Center. If you have a blog and you know how to monetize it, then perhaps all you need is Social Power Linking for discovering the latest ways to attract more visitors. If you don’t have $1 a day to spend on learning traffic strategies, then at least sign up for Social Marketing Central by clicking on the link in the sidebar where it says “I’m a member of Social Marketing Central.” Then join some of the groups there and start learning how to use Web 2.0 techniques to get visitors.

It’s still New Year’s morning where I live, so I want to wish all of you a happy New Year.

Have you made any resolutions or goals for the coming year? Here are some you might consider:

• work smarter (spend less time with e-mail and more time on money-making endeavors)
• focus on one money making idea at a time

For entrepreneurs it can be very hard to focus on one thing at a time. We tend to jump from one idea to another without finishing anything. Hard to make much money that way.

This year I’m making the resolution to really focus on Web 2.0 type stuff. I’m going to put up some Hub pages and Squidoo lenses, submit posts to Web 2.0 sites like Digg, Propeller, Reddit, and so on, and make my sites content rich.

If this sounds good to you but you have no idea where to start, I highly recommend Authority Site Center. Click on that link and you can download for free the 64 page Black Book that gives you a long list of Web 2.0 sites where you can submit your posts. It’s a way to get more visitors and incredible incoming links.

If you join Authority Site Center with the $97 membership they will make a blog for you (whatever niche you choose) so all you have to do is post to it and work on getting traffic to your site. You also get access to a lot of the training they provide for how to find content for your site, how to get lots of visitors, and so on.

If you choose the full membership they will put up one blog a month for you and you get access to 100% of the training.

Whichever membership you choose, you get access to the fantastic forum where members and ASC administrators help everyone get a business going online using blogs.
