Today’s blog post is for LeadsLeap members. If you are not a member, you can sign up here.

In this post, I’m going to bring you to our back-office and show you some stats about the traffic that we send to you.

Some background

Early this week, we added an extra fraud prevention system that tracks the userid, IP address and number of clicks. This system will tell us which IP address is viewing our members’ ads and whether the visitor is a member or non-member.

When we launched the system, I was excited to see what it will return.

I was surprised!

Take a look at the screenshot of the database that recorded the click-through in the first 10 minutes after we launch.

The userid column is blank, meaning none of the clicks is from our own members!

This means our members are getting traffic from non-members, people who happen to come to our website via non-referred links such as the search engine. Frankly, I was pretty excited when I saw this.

This is just the first 10 minutes. After 24 hours, I exported the 24-hour record and separate them into member and non-member clicks.

The result is 64% are member clicks and 36% are non-member clicks. In total, we recorded 4763 clicks on that day.

Why am I showing you all these?

First reason, I’m excited. I can’t wait to share this info with you.

Another reason is I want to show you that LeadsLeap is more than just a traffic exchange system. Our members are getting traffic from non-members. 36% is not a small percentage.

How can you channel our traffic to your website?

One way is to become our PRO member. Your PRO ad will be shown in our network all the time 24/7.

Another way is to make sure that you have enough credits in your account so that you FREE ad can be shown in our network. If you are a member, you should have learnt the different ways to earn credits. One smart way is to refer 20 people to join you in LeadsLeap. This will earn you 500 credits every month.

20 people one time = 500 credits every month = endless traffic months after months.

Do the math. It’s a good deal.

Monthly bonus credits will be added on the 1st of each month. If you want to quality for the bonus on the 1st of August, you still have about 5 days to reach your 20 referrals. Go for it!

After 3 months of work from gathering ideas from our members to building the software, finally I’m excited to present to you our first viral software - Affiliate ID Manager.

If you were with us since we started, you may recall that we did a poll to vote for the best idea for our viral software. Now we’ve turned that idea into reality!

Before I move on, I need to mention that this post is mainly for LeadsLeap members. If you are not a member yet, join us now to get the benefit!

What Does Affiliate ID Manager Do?

Before I answer this question, let me ask you a question.

Where do you keep all your affiliate IDs, passwords, affiliate links, payment info, cloaked links, etc? Excel file or simply keep them in your email inbox?

How about your hosting login passwords, membership passwords, social media passwords and tons and tons of other passwords? Where do you keep them?

I think you get the idea.

Affiliate ID Manager will manage all your IDs, passwords, links and many other details related to that particular account in one secured database, with powerful search function and organization features. This means you can easily look for the details that you need and update it any time if necessary.

How About The Viral Part?

Good question. As a LeadsLeap member, you will get the rebrandable version of the software.

The rebrandable version allows you to rebrand the software with 2 banners and 4 text links. By simply giving away the rebranded software, you will be able to build massive traffic to the websites you’re promoting.

Many of you have probably read about the S-Buzz phenomenal that is happening now. It’s the power of giving away free software to build traffic.

If you are an affiliate marketer or you are running your own website, it is vital that you have some form of viral campaign running. Rebrandable software is definitely a powerful viral tool.

A high quality rebrandable software will typically cost you $39. But now, you have the same power at $0 cost.

If you are a LeadsLeap member, you can download the rebrandable version here. (login required)

The Purpose Of This Blog Post……

The main reason why I post it up in our blog is because I want you to post all your technical question about the software in the comments section of this post.

This is a multi-functional software and I reckon that some of you many have questions on how to use it. Instead of flooding our support emails and answering repeated questions, I thought it would be easier if you can throw all your questions here so that other savvy members or I will answer the questions here.

Of course, before posting your question, please make sure that it is not already answered.

If you know the answer to some questions, I would appreciate that you can contribute your answers.

Thank you and have fun playing with the software.

This post is about how to use pingback/trackback to get more links and contents for your blog.If you have a blog, you probably have 2 important things to ‘worry’ about.

1) Finding/writing quality content to post to your blog

2) Getting quality links to your blog

Here’s a proposal on how you can have both at the same time!

The idea is to use the pingback/trackback feature that comes with a Wordpress blog.

Here’s a typical scenario:

- Person A writes something on her blog.

- You read her blog and have some afterthought.

- You blog about your thought in your own blog (hence more content for your blog).

- You either pingback or send a trackback to Person A’s blog

- Person A’s blog receives the pingback/trackback and displays it as a comment to the original post, linking it back to your blog (hence another link juice for you).

Now, for this method to work, 2 things must be ready:

1) Person A’s blog must allow trackback and pingback

2) Ideally, person A’s blog sets “DoFollow” for her trackback and pingback.

How to know if a blog allows trackback and pingback?

Simple, just check out the blog and see if there’s any trackback or pingback links. They are either in the comments section or a section on its own (like LeadsLeap blog).

How to know if the trackback/pingback has “DoFollow”?

If you use Firefox, you can install a plugin called SEO For Firefox. The plugin will highlight links with “NoFollow”. Any link without “NoFollow” is “DoFollow”.

If you use IE, change to Firefox! (How is my humour?)

How to create a pingback or trackback?

1) First, it should be enabled in your wordpress blog. You can do that by logging into Options » Discussion - and making sure there is a check mark next to Attempt to notify any Weblogs linked to from the article (slows down posting.).

2) Next, write a post and link back to the original post.

In most cases, Pingback will happen automatically and there is no need for you to send any trackback.

If you have any difficulty in pingback or trackback, refer to this excellent guide.

A note on “DoFollow” trackback and pingback

Wordpress blog, by default, has “NoFollow” trackback/pingback link. If you own a blog and would like to advocate “DoFollow” for trackback and pingback, you can install Dofollow Trackbacks Plugin.

If you decide to do that, write a comment below to let our readers know you advocate “DoFollow” on your blog. Who knows, some readers may decide to read your blog and pingback to your blog

Final note

You are welcome to link to LeadsLeap blog and get a pingback or trackback, provided that you don’t spam. For LeadsLeap members, you can add your referid to the link. It will pingback to the original post.
