The Biggest Takeaway from the 30 Day Challenge

On day 23 of the 30 day challenge there is a podcast. I may be reading more into it then it is but I doubt it. Why do you suppose a podcast was slipped in there? How many of you use podcasts for traffic or have seen it suggested on the guru blogs? You can imagine that Ed and Dan and the boys are doing some market research throughout the 30 day challenge for material for the Immediate Edge members.

I read a traffic course ebook just the other day that suggests podcasts for traffic. It suggested taking one of your 500ish word articles that you had previously submitted to the article directories (free software for article submitting)...and read it into a microphone and record it into mp3. Then you could submit the thing to a ton of podcast directories, including iTunes. Apparently there is podcast submitter software to do that too. I plan to do this on a new site that I started a couple of days ago. I'll likely outsource it though. (outsourcing is cheaper than ya might think) Oh, the ebook also gets into using your newly created mp3 and creating a PowerPoint (or similar) presentation and make a video. You can then use TubeMogul.com to blast it to all of the video sites for free. Tip: Use your domain name link (with http) at the beginning of your description for the video and use your keyword in the title.

Anyway...podcasts for traffic seems like a decent idea and maybe the 30 day challenge folks are testing the effects of it. If you listen close enough to the podcast it's really just Ed and Gurubob arguing about who's marketing method is best. They don't seem to like (or respect) eachother. If you listen close enough you'll know what I mean. Also gurubob, I'm sure, is monetarily affiliated with Market Samurai in a big way.

I've been researching way to get organic traffic very heavily lately...so I thought I'd tell ya what I was up to.

Have you ever tried podcasts to drive traffic?
