Was Obama's decision to play golf a sign of disrespect to the military?

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/nilega…

Obama is the head of the military. should he have spent his time yesterday with the families of soldiers injured or killed in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Impeach Obama! President Bush would never golf on Memorial day, and Reagen would never golf on memorial day, they would …….

…. oh never mind.

Nope. Afterall, the recent Obama mission put a "hole in one" Osama bin Laden's head. (Silly questions deserve silly answers.)

No, I know many service members who played golf yesterday.

Nope, some of them also play golf.

obama is not known for his sense of duty or his work ethic.

    10 Little-known Ways to Get Traffic to Your Blog

    This guest post is by Onibalusi Bamidele of YoungPrePro.com.

    Getting traffic to a blog is the major challenge a blogger faces. many have read about various traffic generation strategies, but they find it difficult to get traffic to their blogs because these tips are no longer as effective as they once were. For example, guest blogging used to be very effective, but now that a lot of people are doing it and talking about it, it’s no longer as effective as it used to be.

    Here are ten little-known tips to get traffic that I’ve discovered from my own experience. Implementing all ten tactics at the same time isn’t that effective; the way to get the best from these tactics is to choose two or three tactics that you think you like, and focus all your efforts on them for a period of time. You will be amazed at the results you will get.

    A major and underutilized way to get traffic to a blog is by joining secret blogging groups or clubs. very few people are using this particular method, but it can be very effective if you focus your efforts on it.

    Secret blogging clubs consists of a group of bloggers with one aim: to help each other spread the word about their blogs with a view to generating traffic for each others’ blogs. The concept is simple: you join a club with around 50 members, share each others’ post with your fans and followers (around once a week), and this will generate more traffic, since it exposes your blog to a wider audience.

    You dont need to worry about spamming and the likes, because groups like these are heavily moderated. also, it is not necessary to share every link that is posted to the group—you only need to share the links related to your niche, that you feel are valuable.

    A great example of an effective secret blogging club is the DailyBlogTips Retweet Club by Daniel Scocco. a post of mine that went viral through a secret blogging club was my guest post on getting more blog comments—it presently has 97 comments and 87 retweets on a site that averages 15 retweets and 40 comments per post.

    Another underutilized but effective way to get traffic to your blog is by making use of social blogmarking sites. Even though this concept looks similar to social bookmarking sites like Digg and Reddit, it operates differently.

    A social blogmarking site can be useful irrespective of whom you are and your status on the network. All you need to do is write your best post and give it the best title. Submit it to your favorite social blogmarking site and, if it’s voted onto the site’s homepage, it will send a stream of traffic to your blog. The articles that make it to the front page are not determined by the authors who submit them, or dependent on the domain name of the author’s site. The quality and title of the article is all that matters.

    I also respect social blogmarking because of the quality of traffic it sends. The visitors that come from the blogmarking site I’m involved with (Blokube) spend an average of ten minutes on my blog. Presently, this is one of my best traffic sources, as far as traffic quality is concerned.

    Getting traffic to your blog through Ning communities is a great way to get traffic to your blog, yet few bloggers use this method. I learned this formula from Kim Roach and it keeps on sending me traffic, even months after I use it.

    Like blogging, a lot of people have a version of themselves or their business on Ning.com. You can create a portal in the form of yourusername.ning.com, which can also be a great way to get traffic to your blog.

    All you need to do is help community members with their questions, and reference your blog if necessary. There is also a place where you can submit your blog posts for the whole community to see—another great traffic source. if you plan on doing this, you don’t necessarily need to write new posts: you can submit some of your old posts with a link back to your blog.

    Not all Ning communities bring results. some communities will send you zero visitors, while some will send you hundreds, so it’s important to be wise when choosing a community you want to join. I have discovered that what works is to make sure you join a Ning community that’s related to your niche, and has over 5000 members.

    This is another powerful but underutilized tactic to get more traffic to your blog. I didn’t use this strategy until recently, but when I did, I got awesome results.

    To use this technique, write as many free reports as you can. a report is a simple, seven-to-ten-page ebook. Make sure you embed links to your blog in the ebook, and encourage readers to visit your blog. then, distribute the ebook to free ebook directories, post it to your favorite forums, ask other bloggers to help you share it, and do as much as you can to spread the word about it.

    What has worked best for me is sharing it on my favorite Internet marketing forums, like Digital Point Forums. after utilizing this particular strategy, I saw a spike in my traffic: I got an additional 60-80 visitors per day for some days, and over 100 new blog subscribers.

    I’ve noticed that a lot of people are not using this particular strategy, but it can be highly effective to syndicate your blog content to big online portals in your niche. most of these portals are visited by countless people every day, and syndicating with them will go a long way to give your blog a traffic boost.

    Great examples of some of the best content syndication sites I’ve found are Alltop and The Daily Brainstorm.

    It pains me to see that this particular traffic strategy is not better utilized. In 2010 I collaborated with a lot of well-known and respected bloggers to give my readers some entrepreneurial advice.

    I was able to work with 24 successful online entrepreneurs, who contributed to the post, and shared it with their Twitter followers and Facebook fans when it went live. This sent me double my usual number of daily visitors and, eventually, more subscribers and followers. It is also one of the most shared posts on my blog.

    Collaboration is a great tool and every wise blogger will use it sometime. Try to get some of the top bloggers in your niche to contribute to your blog; once the contribution is live, encourage them to share it.

    This is another great and underutilized way to get traffic to your blog. Pat Flynn from Smart Passive Income is very popular for his podcasts, and has been able to build a successful blog based on this and other methods.

    While the podcasting technology is not new, very few people utilize it. yet you can get more eyeballs to your content by creating a great and informative podcast relating to your blog. Submit it to the iTunes podcast directory and as more and more people search for podcasts relating to your topic area, they will end up discovering yours and, if it’s good, might end up visiting your blog.

    This particular approach is almost as old as some of the biggest websites on the Internet, so I’m amazed to see that very few people use it. I didn’t realize the power of this tactic until the day I woke up to see a spike in my website traffic generated by a LinkedIn group.

    A lot of people still congregate and look for solutions to questions in online groups; many of these groups are also highly respected by Google, so they are indexed and ranked quickly. thus, you have a great potential of getting traffic to your blog by utilizing good groups. The post I published to the LinkedIn group I mentioned attracted over 200 visitors from that group in the week it was published.

    Two of the most popular online groups are Yahoo groups and LinkedIn groups—check them out.

    I didn’t realize how powerful authority sites were until I interviewed successful entrepreneur Raymond Lei. he wrote a Wikipedia page in which a link to my interview with him was listed as one of the resources. This link sends me continuous traffic from Wikipedia even today.

    You can use this strategy with some of the biggest websites on the Internet; since most of these sites find it easy to rank for competitive keywords in the search engines, you may find it easy to get traffic from them. For example, you can read and review some of the top books in your niche on Amazon while including a link back to your blog. Or interview the top bloggers in your niche, then include your link as a resource in their Wikipedia page.

    This is also a very effective traffic generation strategy that many people overlook.

    A Webring is a collection of websites that are linked to each other. a major advantage of using a Webring is that it also helps you get high quality links which means both short term direct traffic and long term search engine traffic for you. probably the most popular Webring is Webring.com.

    These are my favorite little-known traffic tactics. What are yours? How have you got traffic to your blog? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
