A Category 5 Hurricane of Laser Targeted Web 2.0 Traffic is Coming This Tuesday!
by Ross Goldberg on Sunday, May 27th, 2007 | 58 Comments
My weekend literally just got squished! I was planning on releasing Web 2.0 Traffic Hurricane a week from this Tuesday. With all of the other launches coming up, it’s been pushed up to this Tuesday May 29th!
I am literally buried right now with finishing up this product.
I’ve decided to give access to the entire product to 5 special people. Are you special?
All you have to do is comment on this blog post with how Web 2.0 Marketing has confused you, how you are using it right now, or how you need to know more about it!
Place your comments and I’ll choose 5 lucky people on Monday May 28th!
I have been using Web 2.0 to deliver traffic to my affiliate programs by writing blogs, and allowing comments on these blogs.
I also have several Squidoo Lenses that are updated each time I broadcast on my Autoresponder, which keeps the content fresh for the search engine spiders.
Keep up the great work!

I am very interested in mastering web 2.0 and social bookmarking. This is one of my major goals over the next few months. Just recently I have been using only wire and a few other services with some immediate success.
My issue with all of the great traffic tactics like social bookmarking is the time commitment. I Do like onlywire and I have seem some immediate results.
I would like to also better understand how to get trackbacks and more backlinks to my sites.
Also I would like to learn how to set up a social bookmarking site as I believe there is looks of opportunity to gain huge traffic this way…
Thanks Ross for all you have helped me with up to this point..

My opinion is that Web 2.0 is a proof to demonstrate
the Internet change.And it’s not ONLY about concepts
and marketing tactics but , in fact, a way to make a major
change in the human behaviour online. I think about
it as something without limits and I am in the attempt
of a new great challenge ,soon.
Well Ross,
I am looking forward to seeing how much else you can show me. The products of yours that I have already have shown me how to get things rolling.
Today was a perfect example. I posted this am on my blog about a new product I launched this am and because of the techniques I have learned from you that post was #1 on Google within two hours for the product name.
Anything you have to teach in this area I want to know as it expands my reach exponentially.
Mike
Getting more familiar with the concept of web 2.0 and the “social” aspects of web building. In the past i have been focused on adsense sites and have seen a drop in my earnings. So it is time to see what opportunities are avaialble on the white hat side of site building.
I look forward to your product as a means to be sure that I have adequately planned and secured the proper tools to maximize my use of Social Bookmarking, Social Networking, Audios, Videos and other formats to develop a massive body of work.
I have been successful to this point in using MySpace to build “social proof” and drive traffic to both websites and product launches.
I need to pay closer attention to blogging, beyond the Myspace Blog and seek wider distribution of multipurposed products.
To your continued growth and success, Ross. You’re providing a fantastic platform for people, not only from the Midwest, but all over to learn and profit from those you have assembled to appear in Madison on July 14th and 15th. http://www.midwestimseminars.com/

Ross,
If it’s anything like OnlySubmitter, it’s going to be great!
I use Web 2.0 every day to submit for Tellman. It really works!
Pat
I have been using web2.0 websites to get traffic but i need a lot more help in that department. I want traffic, i want more traffic, i want loads and loads of good quality traffic and i want it now
Cant wait for you resource to come out.
Ian
Been using web 2.0 since December of last year when I took the step into creating an Internet presence.
Developing at Ning, Squidoo, ODEO and several blogs so far. Just set up Google Reader to exploit RSS feeds and am working on marketing and Legend Platform branding with Ben Mack.
My biggest question is how can a web novice best leverage web 2.0 platforms and applications?
Second biggest question is how can we sort out the potential for profitable results from all the web 2.0 conversation going on?
Thanks Ross for your information and as Micheal said, keep up the great work!

I am very interested in Web 2.0 marketing. I have been trying some things out on My Space, Squidoo, and Blogs for several months with limited results.
I have bought several other courses that had some good basic ideas in them but lacked specifics on exactly what to do. I would love to have a breakthrough in Web 2.0 marketing and generate massive traffic!
Thanks Ross and I hope your dad is doing better.

I have been looking at this whole Web2.0 thing and wondering if the links that you get are long-term links? I have read that the links are only good for a day or two. It seems like a lot of work to post to all those social sites. Is there a good way to automate it?

I am a complete Newbie when it comes to Web 2.0 Marketing. I realize it is a very powerful technology for doing business on line and I am very interested in mastering it.
I am intrigued with your new software Web 2.0 Traffic Hurricane and can’t wait to start using it.
Thanks for making it available.

Web 2.0 Traffic? When it comes right down to it I know just enough to be so confused I really don’t know where to start.
I have read a bit about social bookmarking and Squidoo.
I have a blog started. But to date I have yet to do much with it other then do some posting of articles I have written.
My real challenge is being able to leverage my time between learning about the new techniques and putting what I understand to good and productive use.
Ross, I heard an inteview you did about a month ago about web 2.0, to be honest I did not have a clue to what it was. Maybe, I was blinded because I thougt it was another passing internet fad.
I’m probably do about 5 searches for Ross Goldberg each day, just to find more about this web 2.0. It just the fact that you share so much and you make it clear.
I’m still trying to learn about using rss feeds, social bookmarking and more. What I like most about you and your information, you don’t pitch products.
I have since made 4 videos, I have taken the affiliate products off my adsense sites, based on one of your interviews. I’m just a guy who is trying to quit my job, work at home and help others along the way.
I can do the work, just need someone to point me in the right direction.
Well, anyway Win, Lose or Draw, I’ll be at the “Midwest Internet Marketing Seminar” because your information is rock solid. By the way, I’m the guy who purchased the first ticket.
Look forward to more great information from you,
Keith
One of the fundamental challenges that we all face in our online business endeavours is gaining knowledge quickly.
Another is sufficiently understanding gained knowledge so that it can be applied in our day to day thinking and holistic approach to our marketing efforts, especially in generating masses of targeted traffic.
Presently there is a confused mess of information, not all of which is necessarily reliable, about Web2 marketing concepts.
It will be interesting to see Ross Goldberg’s new Web2 Internet Marketing Product,which promises a Category 5 Hurricane of Laser Targeted Web2 Traffic. I am certain, in view of his reputation, that it will be of immense importance to online business, regardless of whether its a “work at home” opportunity, an affiliate marketer, niche marketer or other substantial enterprise.
Confused about web 2.0?? You betcha. I know (I think) what it is but have no clue how to get into it. I don’t have a camcorder, where would one get the videos? What is good video content? Everyone is an expert but nobody can explain the FUNDAMENTALS!
Web 2.0? Only just got the hang of the web! How am I going to find enough hours to to do all this new stuff and what the heck is it anyway. I want to know the basics and the necessaries. Are you going to do that for me ross?
Jean
Whooo Ross,
That picture below is very frightning!!!
Anything that will help more people get info on web 2.0 is what is needed. I have a my place and squidoo site and a freeIQ but still can’t figure out how to make them work in getting more traffic on my main website. For one thing it takes to much time for me to get those web 2.0 sites built and sending any traffic anywhere.
But I’m just an old fart trying to do it on my own with only what I pick up online.
Good Luck Ross,
Mel Smith
Hi Ross
I have been using web 2.0 platforms to drive traffic to my niche community website, http://www.shotokanunleashed.com
I’m so confused with all ways to drive traffic, with new platforms coming online on a daily basis. Something that could automate or organise would be a dream come true.
Thanks for the great information Ross.
kindest Regards

I admit. Web 2.0 makes me feel old. This is quite distressing to me since I’m only in my 20′s and was building my first websites as a teenager.
I have a couple of squidoo lenses. I’ve done some social bookmarking with them which helps with an initial surge but I usually can’t keep that level of traffic. Do I have to rewrite my lens every day? I’m confused because it seems like some of the top sites in google haven’t been updated since the ’90s.
I created a myspace profile for my husband’s pen name, but then I handed it over to him. It was too confusing. I’m sure he can make some decent contacts on there without being spammy, but should he just start adding friends or joining groups?
Today we’re planning on working on videos. We don’t have a video camera, so we’re planning on throwing something together using Visual Communicator and Camstudio. We’re planning on adding one to his sales page. I also want to experiment with Youtube. Should I upload the same video I use on the sales page, or should I try to make the sales page one salesy and the Youtube one cool and virally.
Truthfully, I view Web 2.0 techniques as something I should do, not something I want to do. I enjoy learning, but I don’t enjoy being overwhelmed, which is where 2.0 leaves me. I want to learn Web 2.0 so I can enjoy these aspects of internet marketing.
Greetings Ross,
The biggest challenge I’ve seen with Web 2.0 marketing is staying on top of the newest sites that pop up and how to leverage them into an “integrated marketing strategy” to drive the most traffic… Some sites such as MySpace are no brainers but how do the others fit into the whole equation? I’m really looking forward to seeing the “overall picture” as only you know how to paint it.
Your friend,
His Mastership

Hi Ross,
Started building an Internet presence about 6 months ago with blogs, Squidoo, Ning and ODEO podcasting.
My confusion is in sorting through all the web 2.0 conversation and finding the best ways to exploit the profitable relationship opportunities from all the hype.
Creating my first web page this weekend and want to use web 1.0 and 2.0 to provide the best experience for my readers.
Thanks Ross. I appreciate the content you provide and good luck with the Web 2.0 Traffic Hurricane launch!
Mark Horn
Well to start off with, I had some “special” reports that told me about web 2.0 and gave some ideas about what to do. I really did not know where to begin. Going from bookmarking site to bookmarking just site bookmarking MY website is boring and time consuming. But that is what most web 2.0 gurus seem to preach. I want something different and more powerful and uses less time.
I’m looking for Leverage. I started using Onlywire, and I finally started saving time submitting links. (Used to do it manually).
I have a myspace page and a couple of squidoo lenses, but Im not sure what to do as I have many ways to do marketing on those sites. As far as video goes I see the power potential in this! So regarding videos, I can either guess what to do or find out someones secret with it who has been success with youtube. But I can see video being a traffic monster.
What I need to find are ways to get targeted traffic, people who are interested in what I have to offer and I need to get the most amount of traffic possible. Even better I’d like to see this all clearly explained and no holding back (which some gurus are doing).

Hi
I do understand what Web2.0 is and it’s a great development in people regaining power from the corporates. What’s more it gives Internet merkaters an opportunities galore to reach markets, in particular the niches along the long tail.
I have several Blogs, a MySpace presence, a lens and am poised to launch a brand new website this coming week.
I’ve been writing and creating eBooks, courses and other materials combining my experience and skills in NLP, persuasion, marketing and as a master magician. I know that the unique content I am creating will be a magnet, and I am busy over the weekend setting up autoresponders and can’t wait to unleash a Traffic Hurricane too.

Hey Ross.
I’m somewhat a beginner when it comes to Web 2.0. My biggest question is automation! How in the world can I automate all of the little tasks that it takes ‘after’ you create your blog posts?
I mean I know to create a Squidoo page, blog on MySpace, Rss Feeds, and to do some Social Bookmarking…
but how in the world can i streamline most of it where I can be more effective in other areas?
I’m confused cause I’ve asked several people around about automation but most people that I ask don’t know exactly how to automate it. I know you can use onlywire, but that is not submitting it to all the Social Bookmarking services.
I also haven’t really seen a complete concise step by step web 2.0 guide that shows you ALL the aspects of web 2.0. Most reports or courses are on different topics, like blogging, video, etc etc.
I really look forward to your the Hurricane. You’re products that I’ve purchased are solid!
Thanks and good luck with this launch!
Alejandro Reyes
Hey Ross,
I’m a total noob when it comes to Web 2.0 Marketing. But I’m sure it’s the next big thing that will bring tons of traffic to our sites and sales.
But the products of yours that I have already have shown me how to get things rolling and sent my blog a big jump in traffic overnight.
I am excited with your new software Web 2.0 Traffic Hurricane and can’t wait to start using it.
Web 2.0 Traffic Hurricane will take IM by storm!
Thanks for making it available.

Hi Ross,
I am thrilled by all you have to offer.
As you might know, I am anxious to learn web 2.0 strategies, and I am just learning the basics of the new technologies.
I understand the value, but I need a coach to grasp the full use of them.
I want to learn to use the principles and use them well.
Thanks for everything you have done for us so far.
Best of everything to you in your launch
Randy Swanston
Hi Ross,
I am keen about learning web 2.0, but still unclear.
I am glad that you are going to help us break the mystery.
I appreciate your help in the past. I am sure you can help us learn and use web 2.0 to greater advantage.
Thanks again for your help
Best regards, and good luck in your launch
Randy Swanston
From what I’ve been reading Web 2.0 is a constantly morphing, amorphous creature and the only way to actually contain it is to create a massive database of information that is updated constantly (a la Wikipedia). To those who intend to master the gentle monster, the famous question, how do you eat an elephant? Web 2.0 rocks!
What is web 2.0? What is beyond Web 2.0 and what will it take to get to the next level before anyone else. These are the questions you need to ask yourself to stay on top of the ever changing Internet Marketing world.
Hi Ross,
I’m just a technically challanged “old” man who is trying to find the best way to finally stay home and earn an income on
the internet. I’ve been reading and studying, but still have a long way to go. But I will get there. Anything you have to offer which helps to meet the goal of becoming successful online will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

As video production was my business for over 10 years I’m happy it’s a major component of web2
1. I’m going to use live video broadcast (from my living room) to release my DVD in next 2 weeks.
2. I’m using live video feed during my event in Hollywood where I’ll be dropped with nothing and have 120 days to make movie from scratch and raise $100,000 for 10 small charities.
So it’s web based reality show plus live event – streaming almost 100 days.
Thanks

Hi Ross,
I have tried all sorts of techniques to drive traffic to my website, that I got from someone else. The also say that I have to write articles to increase the back links to my site. The problem is that I am not a good communicator and can’t spend hours learning lenses, spaces and such thing. I have only made $20 more or less and spend a heck of a lot more.
Thanks for the opportunity to be part of this for free. I don’t want to spend a lot more money.

I’m using Squidoo lenses to get long tail rankings, and send targeted traffic to my money sites.
Thanks!
Hi Ross,
The evolution of Web 2.0 is outta control! I recently watched a video that laid down some serious stats about where we are and where we’re going. Here’s the link to the video I recommend ALL readers watch: http://www.glumbert.com/media/shift
It’s called “Shift Happens”, and to be honest, I felt primarily two emotions as I watched it – excitement and fear.
Why those two emotions? Well, when you truly understand the meaning of the word “exponential” the way the video lays it out – and NOT in the way it’s misused and overused in web copy – you may experience the same feelings as I did.
I mean, it’s uncharted territory where we’re going. And we’re speeding to that “destiny” at a rate unprecedented in all of human history.
Excerpt from the film (paraphrased): “By the time a student gets halfway through a four-year course of study in a high-tech field, the material they learned during the previous two years will be obsolete.”
Now if that doesn’t give you cause for pause, I don’t know what will…
So, yes, Web 2.0 both scares and excites me. Don’t get me wrong, the fear won’t paralyze me into inaction. It’s just the normal human tendency to fear what we don’t know or understand. That, and watching too many movies like The Terminator series, The Matrix series, I Robot, etc. (
Can I answer all of the above? Just the sheer amount of web 2.0 sites and information confuses me by contributing to my already over-developed information overload. What sites to use, how to use them to get the best results, and how to do this without spending my whole day just on driving traffic.
I’ve heard of people who can get a #1 search engine ranking in just hours using web 2.0 techniques, but I’ve never quite learned how to do that for myself, so that would be one thing I would very much like to master.
So far I know how to build squidoo lenses and can get them fairly high in google rankings after a week or two. (I think it’s luck because I have no idea how I’m doing it!) And I use OnlyWire for social bookmarking. Oh, and wordpress for most of my sites… I’ve been a big blogging and rss fan for years.
But other than that, I just know there’s a whole other world out there that I want to learn about, and need to learn about. It’s like a burning desire to explore and expand my knowledge, and maybe even conquer all there is in the new world of web 2.0. So where do I start?
Thanks for all that you do!
My best to you and yours, and good luck on your launch,
Ruth Ritchie
Cont… Sorry, my previous post got cut off…
I’m in the process of using just a small part of this evolving technology in the form of WordPress niche blogs. Clearly, I’ve only begun to tap into the awesome power of Web 2.0.
Like so many other posters have already said, I too want to learn everything you can teach on the subject. And I appreciate what I’ve learned from you so far.
Please keep it coming, Ross!
Be well,
Russ
web2.0 is one of those “new horizons” for me – and it sure feels like the wild, wild west. “Thar’s gold out thar!”…but where? And what are the essential tools that I need? And where’s the most gold?
Lots of people offering us marketing pioneers a whole bunch of pick axes and sand pans … but I can’t use ‘em all, and I can’t afford ‘em all … I wish I had a map with “X” marks the spot, and a good mule and a veteran prospector to lead the way.
Ross – ever ridden a mule?
Hi Ross,
Web 2.0 has certainly been a challenge for me!
My first challenge was to figure out which social/bookmarking sites are most relevant to my target market. I am wanting to reach women 40+ (baby boomers) and so many of the sites seem to be more relevant to younger people. I have now found a number of appropriate social/bookmarking sites but I don’t want to miss some of the others that may be changing with respect to the age groups represented.
At first MySpace seemed to be a waste of time. But I now see that there are more older people involved than I had originally thought. How do I get it set up so that my home page looks nicer and how do I go about finding the people I want to reach without it taking all of my time?
I have now joined many different social sites including Squidoo, Eons, 43 Things, Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube, MySpace, Newsvine and more…Yikes! How on earth can I keep up with all of these? Plus I have 4 blogs and other websites to maintain. I need to figure out how to prioritize what I am doing and be more organized (have a plan!) Is there a secret to getting the traffic to start flowing without me having to work 24/7?
Also, I write articles and submit to article directories. I am looking at creating videos and/or podcasts as well. Do you have thoughts about which would be a better use of my time? Again, I can’t do it all, on the other hand keeping up with article writing and then occasionally stopping to create a video or two might make sense and reach more people more quickly. Your thoughts? (I do have Only Submitter – Thank you!! I just need to find the time to start putting it to good use.)
I could keep going…if you want more questions, I’m sure I could help out!
Thanks for all you do Ross. I hope you and your family are doing O.K. this holiday weekend. Is your Dad recovering well? Your Mom feeling all right? And how about you?
(I just tried to submit this and it didn’t work. So I’m trying again. If it posts twice, my apologies)

HI Ross,
I am a newbie to web 2.0 and have learned a little, but I am willing to learn a lot more and get this web 2.0 stuff down and start getting more traffic and hopefully sales. I would be very interested in your Web 2.0 Traffic Hurricane system!
Good luck with the launch and my best to you and yours!
Scott
Ross I am looking forward to your new product. So far your products have been great. I never quite understand the right way to tag for the social bookmarking sites. I believe the future is in web 2.0 and I am trying my best to get ahead of the curve. Great picture at the bottom of your site by the way.
Doug
What is web 2.0? I need traffic and will need to learn all I can about this!
I know what needs to be done.
I see all of the different areas and techniques I could use to carry my businesses forward.
How on Earth though do I pick and choose on which I should focus? I want to do it all and get that maximum impact and results.
Give me a centralized, easy to understand and implement solution and I will be in heaven!
Thanks Ross,
Sam
Web 2.0 seems new but I dont think it is really, its just taking everthing over now, I am not sure of every aspect of web 2.0 except for social bookmarking which I am using, but using somewhat nervesly . The reason I say this is what is right and what is wrong according to The big G?
How many bookmarks can you put on a site or post before it gets spammy?
I know for a fact I am considering giving up my hosted domains, because Im tired of waiting to get indexed, when I can go to squidoo and write the same content and bookmark it and be in usually the top 10 search results within 48 hrs, and Its free.
But is it going to last, and if so which sites, because they are going to be hit hard by marketers.
Just my 2.0 cents
Russ
Ross, Ross, Ross!!
I’m wriggling around in my seat like a kid waiting for a “time-out” to be over… I can’t WAIT to see what you have in store!
I think you’re just marvelous anyway…
All these Web2.0 traffic tactics sound great, and seem to work pretty well too. But trying to co-ordinate a system of incorporating blogging, squidoo, social bookmarking, article submissions, podcasting, rss submissions, forum submissions,
All these Web2.0 traffic tactics sound great, and seem to work pretty well too. But trying to co-ordinate a system that incorporates blogging, squidoo, social bookmarking, article submissions, podcasting, rss submissions, forum submissions, web directory submissions, stumble upon submissions as well as proper on page seo, is turning out to be an overwhelming task, particularly when you are trying to do it for multiple sites.
It would be a great help if all the necessary tasks to implement an effective Web2.0 traffic system were laid out in an easy to follow step by step system.
At the moment I think that in trying to implement all the various Web2.0 methods across all my sites, that I’m not really doing any of them “properly”, and the end result is that I’m barely scratching the surface in terms of the traffic I could be generating.
What I’d give to have “an easy to follow step by step system” to follow that laid out a plan for say, 30, 60 or 90 days!
Hey Ross,
I think there are a lot of hypey Web 2.0 products out there, and they consist of nothing more than spamming craigslist or Digg.
Having bought some of them, they’ve left a bad taste in my mouth, and don’t deliver on their promises.
It is difficult to find something solid that will deliver on it’s promises.
Having already seen your Traffic Masters product and the quality of information you provide, I’m sure your Web 2.0 Traffic Hurricane will certainly be something to look out for.
I’m looking for something great from you, Mr Goldberg!
