Miracle Traffic Bot Review

This is my review of Miracle Traffic Bot

Before I purchased this software I had a look around for other Miracle Traffic Bot Reviews. As I read these reviews I had the sneaking suspicion that a lot of people reviewing this product hadn’t actually bought it. There wasn’t much meat to these reviews – only things that you could probably work out by reading the sales copy!

I hope you will find this review to be different – it is written by someone who has actually bought and used this software. My aim is to give you enough information to help you decide whether or not this the product for you. The review contains criticisms of the software as well as outlining the benefits.

MiracleTraffic Bot

If you do decide to purchase, if you purchase through my link I will give you a valuable free gift You can choose between a free copy of my SEO  EBook 3 Steps to Search Engine Success EBook which sells on Clickbank for $37 OR you can get a free copy of the EBook Get More Backlinks which also sells for $37. Just contact me with your full name or Clickbank receipt ID and I will send you a copy.

What is It? – In a nutshell Miracle Traffic Bot is software that allows you to automatically:

- submit your articles to article directories

- submit web pages to social bookmarking sites

- submit videos to video sites.

To get your money’s worth from this product you really need to have your own website or blog and be interested in increasing traffic.

How Much is it? – The current launch price is $77. The regular price is $297, but it is not totally clear when the price will move back up again.  There is also a special offer to subscribe to a membership called “Miracle Traffic Bot” premium membership at no cost for your first month. I took this option to have a look at it. The good thing is, the membership subscription is via Clickbank so it is really easy to cancel (I am wary about putting subscriptions on my credit card as certain companies can be notoriously difficult to contact and cancel, but thankfully Clickbank makes it very easy)

Sales Process – It is pretty quick and easy to purchase Miracle Traffic Bot. The only annoying thing (apart from the lady in the video) is that you get 3 One Time Offers after purchase. Personally I always feel that one is enough, but I clicked the no thankyou box with relative ease and within a few minutes I had my download links.

Download – You need to ensure you have a PDF reader, Adobe Flash and software to unzip your files. These are all free and there are download links to these in the download area. The download was quick and easy. I have a broadband connection and it took a few seconds to download and extract the files.

Installation – The installation was easy – just extracted the zip file and double clicked on the installer. It took less than a minute to install (on my Windows Vista PC). Once installed (no restart required) I opened the software and entered my email address to register the purchase.

The Software – The software works on Windows so if you have a Mac, you will only be able to use this if you are running Windows Emulation software. When you open the software there are three tabs – one for article submission, one for social bookmarking and one for video submission. There are four videos inside the members area – one that explains how to register with the article directories and another 3 that explain the video, social bookmarking and article submission functions.  Being lazy, I didn’t watch the videos  – it’s pretty easy to work out how to use the software once you have logged in.

Article Submission Software- The first thing you need to do is save your username and password for each of the article directories. This is the most time consuming part, but you only need to do it once. You may already have logins for these directories so this will speed things up. This will probably take you around 10 minutes if you already have logins to these sites, or around an hour or so if you don’t.

There are 10 article directories including ArticleCat.com, ArticleLocker.com, ArticleDashboard.com, IdeaMarketers.com, ArticleAlley.com, ArticleCity.com,  ArticleDirectory.com, ArticleCube.com, Amazines.com and ArticleRich.com. These range from page rank 0 up to page rank 5.

As a test I entered an article (see the screenshot above) and submitted it to all the directories. The software worked at lightning speed and had submitted to all the directories within one minute. Two of the article submissions failed, but these were left checked and I discovered that one of the failures was due to wrong login info, so I corrected this and submitted again for this one. I am not sure about the other failure.

Overall I was impressed, but it would have been good to see the reason for the failure of the one directory that I couldn’t submit to.

Social Bookmarking Software – The social bookmarking tool is very similar to the article submission. You start by adding your login details for the websites – there are 10 bookmarking sites including Propeller.com, JumpTags.com, Quadriot.com, Mister-Wong.com, BuddyMarks.com, Connotea.org, Sitesays.com, Delicious.com, Digg.com and Mixx.com. Again it will take you 10 minutes or so if you already have an account with these or around an hour if you don’t.

Once you have registered it is just a case of adding your URL, Title, Tags and a description and then hitting the submit button. The submission

It’s pretty quick, taking less than 1 minute again, but you can get the same functionality for free at Onlywire, so I think they really need to add more sites to be effective.

There is also video submission software. I have not tried this yet, but it submits to 10 video websites in exactly the same way as the social bookmarking and article submission tools.

Pros – The software is very lightweight, simple and very newbie friendly. I am pretty sure anyone could use this due to its simplicity.  It does what it says on the tin, which is to build backlinks quickly and automatically.

Cons – I am a little underwhelmed at the number of sites in there. There are a total of 10 sites each for the article, social bookmarking and video submission.  I think for this price, there should have been at least double that many sites.

Verdict – A slick piece of software that is easy to use and very quick. After you’ve written an article it will take you just 1-2 minutes to submit it to 10 directories, which will save a lot of time. BUT.. the glaring hole in the product is the low number of of directories to submit to – if it wasn’t for the lack of directories I would be recommending this product, but for this reason, I do not think it is worth the money. I personally prefer  SubmitYourArticle and OnlyWire to this software. SubmitYourArticle is more expensive with its monthly fee so if you are on a budget you may be better Miracle Traffic Bot, since it just has a one-time fee. But if you want a software submitter with a larger number of directories, you’d be worth paying a little bit extra and going for Article Post Robot instead.

Forum Link Building Tips

Many people overlook the power of forum link building  but it has a lot of benefits and is a great way to get targeted traffic while building backlinks. I say the only down fall is that it can be very time consuming to do this right!

There is definitely no shortage of niche forums – you can find a forum in practically any subject you can think of these days!

You can instantly build a good reputation in these communities and reach out to your prospects with just a few forum posts and a very enticing signature that shows them the links to your website.

Remember to start off slow when jumping into a conversation at these forums because the advocates in the group will notice your trying to sell something from the start! It’s important to be discreet and find some common ground with people!

You don’t want to bust onto the scene, spamming the threads with a lot of “me, too!” responses, because it won’t be long before you find yourself banned or simply ignored.

Be helpful, share tips, resources and information, and approach forum link building in a similar way that you would approach social networking, by offering help and slowly building awareness of your brand.

To search for forums in your niche market just do a Google search for the name of your niche  + forums. E.g. “Dog Training Forums”. Just replace “dog training” with your main keyword and dozens of forums will pop up for your niche!

When creating your signature box, be sure to feature a free report or resource to entice people to click your link in the same way that you would create your article marketing resource boxes. Include your keywords in the anchor text of your link.

The easiest way to direct traffic to your website from a forum is by offering something of value, at no cost.

Focus on building a list of active subscribers that you can follow up with in the future with both free content, balanced out with promotional offers.

Ideally you should participate in forum link building in conjunction with other types of link building e.g. article marketing, directory submission, press releases, social bookmarking and so on.

How to Create a Robots.txt File

I don’t like to get too techie in my posts, but a lot of people ask the question “what is a robots.txt file” or want to know how to create a robots.txt file.

First, don’t worry ifyou don’t have a robots.txt file on your web server – it is not mandatory and if you don’t want to prevent any pages from being indexed by the search engines you don’t actually need one

A robots.txt file is simply a text file that’s created with notepad or any other compatible text editor. You use this file to list pages or directories on your website that you do not want the search engine spiders to crawl (i.e. pages that you do not want to be indexed in the search engines).

The reason for this could be because you want to keep your download pages from showing up in the search engine results (SERPS), or because you don’t want to show duplicate content on your site.

Even if you don’t have any web pages that you do not want to show up in the SERPS you can still upload a robots.txt file to your site to let the search engines know that you’re playing by the rules!

Here is how to create a robots.txt  file.  These files are actually very simply to make despite the name!

First simply open notepad or your favorite text editor.  This lines you will enter in this text file are as follows:

User-Agent: [Spider or Bot name]
Disallow: [Directory or file name]

It’s pretty much self explanatory; you tell which spider, i.e. Google, MSN or Yahoo not to crawl the “Disallow” listed sites. That’s all to it, too easy right?

Let me give you a few examples so you know exactly how this should look when you create your robots.txt file.

Let’s say you DO NOT want the Google bots (spiders) from crawling a particular directory on your site. This is how it would look:

User-Agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /downloads

If you want to allow the search engines to index everything on your site and just want to have the robots.txt file on your site for good measures. This is how it would look:

User-Agent: *
Disallow:

Hopefully this will make it clearer to you how to create a robots.txt file!

Steer Clear of these Black Hat SEO Tricks

You may or may not have heard of Black Hat SEO, but it is important to understand a bit about this so you can be sure to steer clear of Black Hat SEO Tricks and avoid your website being penalized!

Black hat SEO is an unethical way for a webmaster to get their website to appear higher in the  search engine results (SERPS) than it really should. This may sound like a good thing to you, but in almost all cases, this higher rank in the search engines will be a temporary thing, and the website will very often end up in a much worse position in the long term (or perhaps be completely removed from the SERPS)

These black hat SEO tricks will usually have some of the following characteristics.

  • It will break search engine rules and regulations.
  • It will unethically present content in both visual and non visual to the search engine web crawlers.
  • It will create a bad user experience.

Penalties for using black hat SEO tricks can be extremely harsh and include but not limited to banning from all search engines. There are ways to avoid creating a black hat website and if you follow them correctly will save you a lot of problems in the future.

1. Do not stuff your keywords

Using a lot of keywords in your site and nothing else will get you in hot water with the search engines. You need to learn how to place your keywords properly to avoid this. If you fluff your articles with a lot of keywords yes, it will increase your chances of ranking higher on the search engine but only temporarily.

2. Avoid using invisible text

Invisible text consists of putting keywords into your site where the text is the same color as the background e.g. white text with a white background. This text is hidden from the customer but can be detected by the search engine crawlers.

3. Avoid Cloaking

Cloaking means that you show one page to the search engines and a completely different one to your visitors. One example of doing this is by using the “iframe” code within your page.

4. Do not use doorway pages

A doorway page is literally just a fake page that is used to attract the web crawlers. The customers themselves will never see this page. This doorway will trick the web crawler to rank your business higher but again, this will only be temporary.

If you wish to run a legitimate business you need to avoid black hat SEO techniques  because they will taint your company in the long run. Run your business right and do not fall into the unethical practice of running a black hat SEO website.
