Automation technologies represent a fundamental aspect of any modern industry. The major types of industrial automation solutions, such as DCS, PLC, SCADA, and MES, are used on a large-scale in process and discrete industries.DCS technologie Awhile ago, I got an email from one of the "gurus" I follow and it shocked me. The gist of it was this person wanted to trade services for a household item.To say it floored me would be an understatement.What was worse was a few days later t

By far the best way to get traffic to your website is to set up a successful affiliate program. However, the learning curve for doing that is a bit steep.The second best way to get traffic to your website is actually quite simple. You can get traffic within days and the effects will be long lasting.So, what is the second best way to get traffic to your website? By writing valuable content and then giving it away.Want proof? First let me tell you my method of using this tactic. Write an article. (I'll tell you more about how to do it in a bit.) Put it on your website. Include it in your Google sitemap. Update your sitemap. Wait for the search engines to ping it. (I usually wait a week even though they will ping it within a few hours usually.) Then post it on all the major article sites and email it to ezine publishers.Sound like a lot of work? Read on. I'm going to show you how to do the whole thing with just two hours work.Now for proof. You can keep track of how well your article is being distributed by picking a unique title and then looking at the search engines to see how many times it is listed. Here are the stats for my first article: Day 1-3, 0; Day 4, 41; Day 5, 754; Day 6, 32,200; Day 7, 26,400; Day 8, 26,500; Day 9, 36,800; Day 10, 43,300.Now, let me tell you that not all of those hits in the search engine will have a link to your website. However, if you have written interesting content, people will start to look for your name. Then they will eventually look you up.So, you will get some immediate traffic from people that will publish your whole article with a link back to your website. And you will get long term traffic from name recognition.As you get better at picking titles and writing, you will get more exposure. Consider the stats from one of my more recent articles: Day 1-2, 0; Day 3, 414; Day 4, 435; Day 5, 25,200; Day 6, 72,100; Day 7, 140,000; Day 8, 146,000. Think of that! 146,000 references from just two hours work!Now, you are asking how you can pump out an article and distribute itwith just two hours work. First, if you have not already done it, pick a general area that you can easily write about and has a decent demand on the web. I picked three areas.The first - internet marketing - because that is what I'm doing with my other two areas. So, I can chronicle my successes here and hopefully make a bit of money on the side.The second - my offline career - because that is something I know a lot about and can crank out an article in a very short time. The downside is that when I'm off work I like to do something else, so I have to push myself to work on that.Third - a recreational interest - now there is something that is fun to write about and has some good interest on the web as well.Now try to pick an interesting title. The title I picked for the article that got 146,000 references is A Bite on the Toe says Time to Go. Hmm, I wonder what that is about. See, it makes you want to look and see what you might find out. You can also give away your subject, but make it something that people are dying to find out about.Now write somewhere between 500 and 1500 words on your subject. Here is a simple formula for you to use: identify a problem, expand on the problem, give a solution. Something very powerful is to put in a story in the middle section.Don't worry if your first few articles are not that good. You will get better.Once you have your article put it on your website and let Google know it is there with your Google Sitemap. If you need an easy way to do that, XSitePro is excellent both for making your website and automatically making your Sitemap for Google. It is the program I use and I highly recommend it. There are many other features that make it 'the bomb' for creating great affiliate and AdSense websites. I'll write more about that later.Now wait until you can see that Google and others have spidered your website. This will make sure they know that the article was on your site first and you will get a bump for unique content from that.Now is the time to put your article on all the article sites. All you have to do is go to Google and do a search for "submit article" and you will find many sites. Look especially for ones that are high traffic general sites and ones that specialize in your niche. Then sign up as an author on each site and submit your article. Be sure to write down your login information. The first time through will take a lot longer than usual.But, as you can see, even without having to sign up at each website, putting in the same information over and over will take you a long time. That is where article submission software comes in.There are many article submission programs available. But, since you are going to be doing this a lot - at least I hope so, because you cannot lose with this method - you should get the program that works the best, is easiest to use, and gives you free updates. The one I use is ArticleAnnouncer. I know it's a bit spendy, but it iseasily worth the money.With those two tools, you are well on your way to getting over 100,000 references for one of your articles.Ron McCluskey started marketing online before the web.
