The guy went on and on raving about the site and how much money he saved while recommending it to his friend. That was very cool and shows you what a small world it really is.

People like John Chow get more traffic mostly by word of mouth. A blogger can increase his fan-following mainly by following their blogs and rewarding them. I agree.

You could have been the Finest kickball player but if no one points to you, you don't get picked. Google and Business are plainly popularity contest.

I was stressing about my main blog for ages as I had some good followers but could not get further than that. However I realized that it wasn't a good business model so in some ways it could be said that I almost shut the doors. However I continued with other business and now my main blog, which I mainly just blog on for fun, has started to trickle in more income without me realizing! If something isn't working I suggest you just put it to the slow and occasional pile... you never know it may just perk up one day without you realizing! I have more aggressive business models for some of my other blogs and that works too. Thanks Mr Cow., great post. This is a very good analogy.

Maybe your use of the word "bullocks" in the post eh? Either way, I think the blogging community in general is good about spreading the word in this manner. Many bloggers are not only supportive, but vocal about it too. Vocal bloggers draw mad traffic. Fritz Funny, this reminded me of Gordon Ramsay too.

I have one favorite restaurant in Indonesia. I love to eat there. Before thats restaurant become my favorite, i get recommendation from my friend. I cool, the 'gossip' spread like quickly. She (the owner) not marketers in formal definition. But in fact, she can make her restaurant familiar and word to mouth working exelent. Just imagine that my visitor can help me to spread my blog and share the benefit to the other. :grin: Still learn how to do that... thank's for remembering me again :lol: :idea: i agree with you.

My friend, traffic is there and will always be there, but how do you get people to stop by and take the time have a look at what you have to offer? I agree, word of mouth helps a lot and that's why you have to pump good content on a consistent basis. You can't just be good once in a while, because when a new visitor comes in and see your content of the day and that day happens to be an average day, then it's not going to convert into a returning visitor or that visitor is not going to talk about you. If you're going to pump crappy stuff, don't pump, keep the good stuff until you have better or equal content to replace it. It doesn't happen overnight, but that good content will get noticed and it is exponential after that! +1 for the cow.

Watching the show Kitchen Nghtmares is great because Gordon Ramsey takes the staff from these restaurant into the community to create buzz for them. Its a really cool way to create excitement especially if they are going to freature a new dish or a signature dish that is simple. I think the idea if using business cards is good because they just seem to float around endlessly. I like watching food network a lot.
