It Takes Money To Make Money

The saying "It takes money to make money" is so true. I am amazed at the results from adding a little money to promoting my business ventures.

When I first started this project I didn't have any money to spend. One of the projects I am working on for September will also be done without money. But what I am talking about is promoting my existing blogs and websites.

I put hours of effort into "offsite" research, networking and linking. Often this effort produces very little traffic results. My custom comments research tool is working well and has improved the results of my effort.

Traffic is vital to the success of any site. SEO is an important part of that traffic. Over 80% of the traffic to my sites comes from search engines. A good portion of that 80% comes from Google, but Yahoo, MSN and others also send visitors my way.

With building tools of my own and buying SEO tools & services I am able to leverage my business. Instead of working harder I can work smarter and focus more time on building my business the right way.
