The other day I had a reader that is not in the Alex Jeffreys coaching program email me and mentioned that I referred to Oil Rig Hopping in my post about How I Drive Traffic but he did not know what it meant.  At that point I realized that I did not explain what oil rig hopping is, so I thought I better create a post to explain exactly what it means.

So, What is Oil Rig Hopping

Sorry but this has nothing to do with the recent oil rig explosion in the Gulf Coast.

Oil Rig Hopping is the process of getting free traffic to your blog and who doesn’t want free traffic, right?

My coach and mentor, Alex Jeffreys, uses this analogy when providing a way to drive traffic to your site.

Here are the basics of the analogy.  An oil rig attracts algae, algae attracts clams, clams attract small fish, small fish attract big fish, big fish attract bigger fish, bigger fish attract sharks.  Of course you cast your line(s) with you hook and bait to catch the fish.  You ultimate goal is to catch the granddaddy of them all the shark.

The competition has been laid down and now it’s game on.  The competition is going to be tough and I need your help.

See, I joined the Alex Jeffreys 3.0 Coaching program about a month ago.  Starting today there is a competition among the 500 students.

What is the competition?

It is a Traffic Generation competition.  The competition is for current Alex Jeffreys coaching students and the objective of the competition is to see who can drive the most traffic to their blog in the next four weeks.

When is the deadline?

The competition ends June 7th.

What are the rules?

1. You must show proof of your traffic stats using google analytics.

2. You must write blog posts on how you are driving traffic to your blog.

What is the prize for the winner?

First of all, it is winner take all.  There will be one prize given and they are:

1. A total revamp of blog
2. A unique website with product

How is the traffic measured?
