How To Get Tons Of Free Targeted Traffic Without Waiting For Months

I have to admit, getting traffic to my sites had been one of the major challenges I faced trying to build an online business.  If you are reading this you can probably relate to it.

I had built more than a dozen niche sites and none of them are getting traffic (well, may be the best one gets 10 visitors a day).  But I refused to give up because I know in my heart that owning a business online is what I really want.  Plus the time and money I’d already spent (and wasted) on learning made it even more impossible for me to quit.

I thought I had learned enough about choosing a market (niche), analyzing, doing keyword research, building and setting up a website, writing content, and all that.
I had also learned many ways to get traffic, but I just didn’t know what went wrong.

The Change
One day I was reading an article about internet marketing, and that had changed my way of thinking completely – I finally realized that all along I was an opportunist searching for an easy way to make money online.
That opportunistic thinking kept me looking forever for the next shiny thing.  I couldn’t settle down and focus on one solid plan long enough to see results.

I changed from one traffic strategy to another based on the marketers’ claims.

I would jump from one niche to another just because it’s a “hot” market.

I created one site and quickly worked on another site because the Adsense cost is $10 per click.

After reading that article, my whole mindset had changed.  I decided that I would stop everything else and learn from someone who was dedicated to teaching the real, fundamental principles and steps in getting traffic.

SEO

So my wish was answered and I found Lisa Parmley, a top SEO expert, and started learning from her about driving organic search engine traffic.  That action proved to be really worth it.

Once you set everything up right and do the hard work at the beginning, you will get traffic to your site even you don’t work on it regularly.  But if you can bear with it, the traffic may take 3 to 6 months to get to your site.

I still use SEO as one of my traffic generation strategies because it’s free (not counting your opportunity costs, of course) and long-term.  But I think it’s wise to combine SEO with something else.  Something that doesn’t take months to get results.  And something that doesn’t require you to spend hours to build backlinks, etc.

How To Get Rid Of Signs Of Aging Aroud The Eyes

Most women show their age around their eyes. In fact, our eyes is the place where the first signs of aging appear. This is because the skin around this area is the thinnest. It has less amount of oil glands which makes the wrinkles around this area more obvious. Also, the muscles here move constantly which causes fine lines or wrinkles over time. The common problems associated with aging around the eyes include wrinkles, circles and puffiness. If you are trying to find ways to prevent, slow down or reverse the signs of aging around the eyes, I hope this article can help.

Wrinkles around the eyes: Use the best anti-wrinkle cream for the eyes formulated with anti-oxidants to help fight free radicals that contribute to fine lines and wrinkles. Be sure to choose products that do not have harsh ingredients that can cause irritations.

Circles around the eyes: Among other factors such as genetics and lifestyles, aging plays a big role in the formation of dark circles around the eyes. As we age, blood circulation is not as effective as it used to be, causing blockage around the eyes and in turn making them appear darker.

To overcome this problem, use a dark circle eye cream that can help boost collagen production to thicken the skin and make the circles less visible. Also, exercise regularly to facilitate blood circulation.

Puffiness: Eye bags are usually caused by water buildup under or around the eyes. This is also partly brought on by aging when the fats under the eyes start to droop.
To improve this problem, try using eye gels which don't trap moisture as much as an eye cream. Also, use products that are rich in antioxidants. For instance, green tea extract is a strong anti-oxidant that is soothing and beneficial for the puffy eyes.

Investigate Botox: While Botox injection has become one of the popular treatments in the world to fight signs of aging, many women remain hesitant about this cosmetic procedure. Although I am not suggesting that you try Botox, there is no harm to know more about how it works.

Botox is injected directly into a muscle to add volume and plump up wrinkles. It blocks nerve signals that contract the muscle. The paralyzed muscle causes the wrinkle to smooth out or "disappear." Currently Botox is only approved by FDA for treating frown lines.

The procedure takes a few minutes and most patients can see results in a week. Since the wrinkles may re-appear, patients have to return for future treatments to maintain the results. The cost of Botox ranges from $350 to $425 depending on the region.

If you lean towards using a good eye cream to help you turn back time naturally on your eyes, make sure you choose a safe and natural product with effective ingredients. Lastly, while we should take care of our skin to make it look young and healthy, it is also important to accept the process of aging. The attitude of acceptance will already add radiance to your face!

How To Get Rid Of Wrinkles Naturally

Women spend billions of dollars every year on anti-aging skincare products trying to prevent or get rid of wrinkles. The problem is, with the great varieties of brands and product types available on the market, how can you tell which products are safe and effective for you?  If you are all-too-familiar with the situation, try some of these tips to reduce the appearance of the lines and wrinkles on your face.

1. Use Glycolics
If you do not have sensitive skin, you may want to use a healthy skin anti-wrinkle cream formulated with Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) such as glycolic acids to gently peel off dead skin cells. When used regularly and over time, this can help reduce the appearance of fine lines.

2. Try vitamin A
Again, if your skin is not sensitive, try a skin anti-aging cream with Vitamin A derivatives, such as Retinol. Vitamin A works in the skin to increase collagen production which will result in the reduction of wrinkles.

3. Quit smoking
The repeated motion of puffing on a cigarette can cause lines around the lips over time. Also, once the nicotine gets in your bloodstream, it can cause an increased level of free radicals in your skin resulting in collagen damage and wrinkle formation.

5. Watch your expressions
One of the causes of wrinkles is through years of facial expressions such as frowning. Watch your habitual facial gestures to prevent wrinkles from forming on your skin.

6. Don't use face cream or makeup with SPF
Although many skincare products and makeups are adding in sunscreen as an ingredients, it is better to use a sunscreen separately. This is because most of the sunscreens, especially the ones boosting a high SPF, have unspecific ingredients that may be harmful to your health.

7. Use a safe sunscreen
One of the major causes of wrinkles is sun damage. Regular use of physical sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher made with minerals such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. This will help prevent wrinkles and further deepening of existing wrinkles.

8. Use sunglasses
A pair of UV-blocking sunglasses can work wonders to prevent wrinkles around the eyes. This is an inexpensive yet very effective way to prevent fine lines from forming.

While there are a wide range of anti-wrinkle creams on the market that promise to reverse the signs of aging, you want to be careful about what you are buying. Sometimes even the most expensive or the best face anti-wrikle cream may contain ingredients that can cause adverse healthy problems. Pay specific attention to the ingredients listed on the packing. Avoid products with harsh ingredients. Afterall, a lined face looks more elegant and is more desirable than a face that has rashes caused by harmful products.
