Today’s article is going to discuss my top 5 ways to gain new traffic, did I mention that they are all FREE! Because each are free, they all take a few minutes of work on a regular basis. After a short while, you should hopefully gain a following and not require doing them anymore.

The top 5 reasons are:

1. Submit your content to social network sites
2. Share your content with article directories

4. Submit to Blog Carnivals
5. Comment on other relevant blogs or forums

I spent about 30 minutes setting up Bebo and reviewing a simple three step process to setup external authentication and it didn’t work!  Not only that, when I went to download the API I had to actually right-click and choose “Save As” because it just loaded the whole API as text in my browser.  Talk about a shotty setup.

The API download problems aside, let me tell you more about my authentication problem.  The three step example I followed is from this URL here: http://www.bebo.com/docs/auth More »
