If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or get your blog updates by email. Thanks for visiting!

I would like to personally welcome everyone who has visited my blog for the first time due to Mashable featuring a few of my easter eggs on their Mashable Easter Egg Wrap-Up post.

If you are one of the 150,000 daily readers of Mashable, I want to personally introduce myself. My name is Collin LaHay and I am an 18 year old internet marketer who makes my entire income on the internet.  My blog is about teaching everyone how to better market their blogs/websites, how to build links to raise your search engine rankings, and how to effectively make money from your blogs/websites.  If that sounds like something you are interested in, I recommend subscribing to my RSS feed.

To all of my current readers, if you are wondering what I am talking about, Mashable recently requested easter eggs that mentioned their blog on them, and I took the opportunity to make a few of these with my websites branded on them.  I had originally submitted a few different eggs for different clients, but only the one that featured my blog was posted publicly to the 150,000 daily RSS readers. For those of you who are curious, here are the pictures:

and the one that has provided me with many new readers:

Thanks for being creative and offering free publicity Mashable!

A good friend of mine named Max has recently started his new online startup company. The name of the site is called SiteHoppin, and it is much like Stumbleupon.com except instead of using a toolbar to vote on sites, you stumble sites inside the browser. The site dubs itself as “a browser in a browser.”

The site is run on the MediaWiki script and there is so many other variables that I dare not start to explain here. While I do recommend you go give it a test run, the reason for this post is that Sitehoppin sends free traffic forever for only a one time submission. Head on over to the site, register, add your site, vote it 5.0/5.0, and enjoy the free traffic. In the last 29 days, I have received 62 visits, and over 90% of them were first-time visitors to my blog. That sounds like quality free traffic to me!

Ready to sign up for a little bit of extra free traffic? Then go have your first online bar hop, courtesy of Max.
