Welcome to the new and (hopefully) improved Traffic Generation Café!
Like my new head banner?
Me too…
I think it’s the perfect image of where the tire meets the road in blogging or any other business, for that matter:
Relationship-based marketing
Yes, it’s the most tedious and time-consuming way to build a business.
Yet it’s also the most rewarding one.
Plus, it’s the ONLY way to survive Google Pandas and Penguins, move on after Twitter account bans, and stop throwing ourselves pity parties.
Those faces you see up there… these are my readers.
I know each and one of them by name.
They made an impression on me.
I am pretty sure I made an impression on them too.
Hmmm… that sounded creepy…
By the way, would love to be the first one to know when I upload my next awesome and very educational, of course, video?

So if your face is up there – my sincere THANK YOU for giving me your time, your hearts, and even your wallets (like buying an occasional product or two through my affiliate links.)
Feel free to give yourself a pat on the back with this tweet:
If it isn’t, but you’d like it to see it up there some time in the future, read this post:

Thank You
In the past few weeks, Ian Belanger has been working hard putting together my brand spanking new blog design, and I’ve been working very hard managing him.
Yes, I am very good at telling others what to do and how to do it…
Why do you think I started a blog? 
Ian – you’ve put your heart and soul into Traffic Generation Cafe new design and I am so very grateful that I found you.
TGC readers – your site design is a crucial step to establishing yourself as an authority in your niche.
If you don’t take it seriously, your potential readers won’t take you seriously either.
It doesn’t have to be expensive, but it does need to be unique.
And when you are ready to upgrade the future of your business, Ian is your man.
He is particularly great with anything Thesis (that’s the theme I use at TGC) and WordPress related.
My blog design speaks for Ian’s work more than anything I could ever say about him.
And NOW the Floor Is Yours
I couldn’t find a better way to thank you, my readers, but to give you a voice in this post.
Yes, I am going to stop talking and give the floor to you.
I know every one of you runs a unique business with unique challenges, opportunities, and outcomes.
And I am prepared to answer ANY traffic generation related question you might have.
All at the rock-bottom prices (see the price list =>***).
***Volume discounts are not available; offer valid at participating Traffic Generation Café locations only.
You can ask me any questions about
- creating a popular blog,
- traffic generation,
- SEO,
- social media,
- traffic conversion,
- anything and everything that’s on your heart
…and I’ll do my best to answer them.
One request though: let’s stay away from generalities.
For instance, “How do I generate more traffic to my website?” is a loaded question with no simple answer.
That’s where you get the dumb look “duh… go read my blog!”
However, asking “Can I generate traffic using social bookmarking sites?” is a great way to go.
Also, if I find that your question deserves an answer in a separate blog post, I will let you know when that post is published.
I might even ask other traffic generation experts to pitch in.
What’s Next?
ASK AWAY!
Practicing my dumb look,
that too many of my posts are competing with each other from an SEO perspective. For example – I write about babies and sleep so probably half of my posts have “baby” and “sleep” as their keywords (in title, headings, content, etc.). So to improve the SEO of my site I was told to go back and reorient each post so that it has it’s own DISTINCT keywords that are less competitive with each other.
