The fastest, cheapest, most effective way to drive traffic to your newly designed blog is Network Syndication. The best format for network syndicating that I’ve seen is Tribes.
Tribes are groups of like-minded bloggers who form a voluntary alliance for the express purpose of giving each other seed traffic and comment feedback. The purpose of this is to lend “social credibility” to your blog.
Social credibility for your blog functions as your online “reputation” so to speak. The more people see you attracting attention through comments from other readers, retweets of your post, facebook shares of your post and other forms of network syndication… the more credible they perceive you to be, and the better reputation you gain as a blogger.
Can People Find YOU on Google?
This “reputation” goes beyond the mere perception of your value within your niche, it also leads directly to higher ranking from search engines, primarily Google. You should be doing things to improve your search engine rankings, because the better your ranking, the more likely it is that people will find you when they search for topics within your niche.
The techniques you employ to improve your search-engine rankings are called search-engine optimization (more commonly referred to as “SEO“) techniques.
One of the most basic, yet powerful SEO techniques you can employ, is to make your blog posts attractive to readers. Ultimately, you attract readers to your post by offering them value in the form of the information, enlightenment or entertainment. Initially, though, you must get readers to visit your blog, or they will never even know what value you can offer.
What’s A Tribe?
This is largely the focus of tribal syndication.
People are far more likely to click on to your blog if they see you listed in the search engines, notice that other readers are tweeting about you, or retweeting your posts or facebook sharing your posts. This, again, is one of the primary functions of a tribe.
To the extent that a tribe gets buzz going about you, about your blog and about the value you can offer to visitors… to the extent that your tribe generates that interest in your blog, you will gain a reputation online as a person to go to for whatever services or products you are promoting.
So whatever your niche, be it health products, work at home strategies, improving your marriage, finding a lifetime partner, or anything else… you will become a credible expert and go-to guru to the extent that you develop a super-syndicated blog. To do this, you really need to find a tribe to get you the recognition you will need to gain the success you are looking for.
How Can YOU Join a Tribe?
I cannot underestimate the power of a tribe to make you a star, and to make your blog a topic of conversation around the virtual water-cooler. If you need help finding a tribe to work with, or if you’d like me to show you how you could join my tribe, CONTACT ME. I’d be happy to put you on the road to success… a road paved with network syndication strategies that are most quickly and cost-effectively put into play by joining a tribe. You’ll be amazed at how easy and how purely powerful this is.

Hi David,
This is such a great overview of the benefits of being involved with a tribe.
Not a day goes by where I’m not answering a question for someone on not having any traffic coming to their blogs. Sadly I see so many people lose heart and quit because of this.
Thanks for spreading the work on such a powerful yet simple solution. This could just be the post that stops one more person from giving up!

Hi David,
I love being in a Tribe and I especially love being in a Tribe with YOU! I never in a million years imagined anything as amazing as Tribe Syndication existed, and feel so fortunate to have discovered this incredible community of people all willing to share each other’s work with the world. The quality of readers we attract when we are part of a Tribe is unparalleled, and can only be truly appreciated when you are on the receiving end of the magic. Aren’t we so lucky?

David,
I couldn’t agree with you more. The evidence of the power of a Tribe is very evident on my blog and in my business. It has been the best thing I have done. Not only have I gained enormous exposure that I wouldn’t have had without it, I’ve created some powerful mastermind groups as a result. Even more reason to join your tribe.
Thanks!
Great David!
A clever point you made in this post is the effect of Tribes on SEO.
Sometimes we don´t realize Tribes are not only about syndicating each others content in terms of only “exchanging comments”. Online Marketing is about “having conversations, relevant ones, and these conversations will have their space in search engines if we are consistent and persistent.
Tribes also work “as the core” of activity where we can partner with our future associates. From these exchanges will emerge long term collaborations that could turn into business partnership with like-minded entrepreneurs.
Seen in this way, the Tribes could be the engine of our future successful businesses…
Great post as always, my friend!
Saludos
Hi David,
The concept of the Tribes always remains me “Think and grow rich” from Napoleon Hill.
There is a chapter about what happens when several like minded people get together to brainstorm ideas; Napoleon says “then a powerful united mind is created…”,
Also, you get recognized when several people come to your blog and comment.
Thanks Davis (Did I already tell you I liked your new blog?)

I absolutely agree about he value of Tribes to provide social proof to the blog visitors. Time and time again I see more comments on my posts that have already received prior comment love.
Nobody wants to be the first one, but people are always willing to jump on a bandwagon:).
