About Nick
About Nick Stewart
I built my first website in 1997 and back then getting traffic was pretty straightforward. There were not a lot of sites competing with you and you just needed get listed in the Yahoo directory to get traffic.
Almost everything has changed since 1997. The purpose of this blog to share what I have learned since then.
My Mission
My mission is to help you get traffic and I want you to be so happy with the help you get that you tell your family, friends, and dentist about this site.
My fantasy: You’re at the dentist for a root canal and say: Hey Dr. Bennett, before you start drilling my teeth and cause me lots of pain because you forgot the anesthesia again, I’ve got to tell you about Nick’s Traffic Tricks…
(Hey, it could happen!)

Not an English major
In college I was not an English major; I was a computer science major and I’m a programmer by profession.
(Think of that nice but nerdy looking guy who answers all of your computer questions. He’s socially awkward and has a quirky sense of humor but is smart. Yeah, that’s me.)
In school I excelled in math & science but had to work really hard on writing assignments. So please be forgiving of the occasional typo or grammatical error.
How I make money
I will occasionally suggest traffic products that will save you time & money and that I have personally purchased & reviewed.

Do you like 3 cheese pizza?
@steve- I am more of a lots of toppings kind of pizza guy!
you could let us know stuff like:
1. How long you have been marketing online
2. your online goals
3. Whats your personal best method of generating traffic
people reference others based mostly on their own self interests (go figure – humans argh..)
the video humanized you if that was your intent , I never heard of you until I pocked around WSO. So glad I did as it is my humble opinion you are set to do great things.
Hi Nick
I was going thru the books you read in 2009 and 2010. What do the numbers at the end of each book signify?
Thanks
Sundaram
They are mostly the same with some updates.
Awesome blog Nick. I've actually bookmarked it! I have never actually bookmarked an IM blog. You have some top info on here. Really. I'll be back

Nick,
Love your blog! I really like your straight forward way of explaining things. Getting traffic is one of the things I really struggle with and I can see that I can learn a lot here!
Thanks for all the great info.
Diana
Glad to help Diana.
Great blog Nick! Informative videos too. I keep coming back for more. Thanks.
Hi Nick, I love your blog and wish you could help me expand my own!
Besides that, I am interested in setting up my blogs to have a "Leave your comment" section under each entry. Would you mind looking at my blog http://www.voicelessonstogo.com/blog and letting me know which way would be best to do it? I would like to approve all comments first before they appear. But I would also like them to appear appropriately under their related blog and have it be easy for people to figure out how to comment. Thanks!
Ariella Vaccarino

Nice blog Nick. Through your blog you can help a lot of people who are very much interested in making money online…
Just wanted to say hello and thank you for all the insightful insights into the world of SEO.
I am getting better everyday and have even managed to optimize a website to reach number 3 for the appropriate keywords. I am working on another site now and hopefully wil get to work on a 3rd website soon.
Cheers! You are a gem, Nick.
Hey Nick. I can't find the page where I can ask a question so I am posting it here….I have been optimizing a UK website from India. Now when I Google the keywords on http://www.google.co.in the website shows on number 1 position but when I run a search for the same keywords on http://www.google.co.uk the website shows at number 5. Do you think this has anything to do with the website being optimized from India.?
It could be. Or it could be that they're a lot more sites competing that have been optimized for the United Kingdom. Really hard to say.
No problems. thanks anyways.
I've also been wondering about that and I think it's because from what Google server the data is coming from. I believe they have serveers for the U.S., Canada, UK, China, etc.
Let's say you're from India and then go to Google.com, it seems you're being directed to the nearest Google server to your IP address and then when you type in a search term Google serves up results more for your area. I believe they're doing this so they can bring more targeted ads for adsense. Because when someone sets up an Adwords ad he has the option to choose which country to show the ads so Google needs to know where the query is coming from and they do it by the computer's IP address. So this means that top 10 results from each Google server differs somewhat from each other.
I'm not from the U.S. so what I do is type in my search in Google and after I get the results I go to the URL bar and type in "&gl=us" where us is the country code. The results refresh and I should see results as if I'm sending the query from the U.S.
I'm still doing some research on this and all that I said are my observations and not 100% accurate as far as I can tell.
What you're saying actually does sound right.
Nick, you’re the man! I love your stuff.

Hey Nick –
Another one of your "new" fans here. I, at time have been frustrated with Google's secret algorithm, on both the SEO and PPC side of things.
I have started a free trial of the Keyword tool you mentioned in Grandmas guide to SEO, and have followed your advice on how to use these chosen keywords to my advantage. Can't wait to watch the analytics and see how it impacts my traffic.
Currently working on optimizing the rest of my pages.
In answer to your questions "what is your goal?" – 10K is my short term goal. My goal is to build my residuals to at least that high.
Thanks again,
Chad
Hey Nick! Nice meeting you. However, My goal is to make more than you do online! Am serious
