First, how did you manage to get Gov Richardson to give you his endorsement this week? As we both know, Gov. Richardson would not be in the position where he is today if it were not for President Clinton and Hillary Clinton. He held two prominent positions in the Clinton administration and the ex-president campaigned for the Gov. when he first ran for the governorship of New Mexico. So, my question is what did you promise Gov. Richardson in exchange for his endorsement? Some political deal must have been made. Did you offer him the Vice Presidential position in your administration? It must have been something great for Richardson to stab both of the Clintons in the back. As time goes by, you are showing me more and more that you are just a typical politician and not a person who could be a leading statesman for our party.
My second question is why are you standing in the way of a re-do of the Florida and Michigan primaries. Senator Clinton has raised all the money to pay for these primaries so it would cost you nothing - so what are you afraid of? Is it that she might overcome your delegate lead or popular vote lead? And as we both know, she is already ahead in the Electoral College vote. By disenfranchising 3 million democratic voters, this will call into question the legitimacy of your nomination if you win. In 2000, the courts decided with Bush v Gore that Bush won the election. Do you want your whole first term to be seen as stolen from Senator Clinton and you are not the legitimate president? That could happen without the votes in Florida and Michigan being counted. It could even cause the Republican candidate to win the election. Is this what you want Senator Obama - a loss for your party. Do you want to be president that badly that you would screw your party and 3 million democratic voters in order to become president? What are you really afraid of? You are only 45; you have years left to run for this office so why can't you wait 4 to 8 years? You are running from something - what is it Senator. Is it the Drudge report I found buried deep in the archives where no one knows it is? What are you afraid of Senator Obama? The American people deserve to know and if you don't answer these questions, you will be seen as just another political hack and I for one will not be able to support you. And I will continue to write articles and post them all over the internet until you are honest with the America people.

Building internet traffic to your website is a fairly simple process. The only thing you need to do is demonstrate your value in front of your target audience. In other words, you need to look for places where your target market spends time while online and then find a way to put a little sample of your expertise right in that spot, along with a link back to your website.
Of course, there are lots of strategies to get traffic to your website but most of them cost a lot of money. Posting advertisements is not what this article is about. Rather, it's about inexpensive and/or free strategies to allow your target market to discover your value along with an easy way to link through to your website.
One of the best ways to do this is to post valuable comments on blogs and forums. Many of the popular ones get tens of thousands of visitors each month and a few well-placed comments can drive significant traffic your way. And as it turns out, one of the very best forums for attracting new and highly targeted visitors to your website is Answers on Yahoo!
Answers (http://answers.yahoo.com) is a forum where you can post a question you need answered. You can also provide answers for those questions you have answers to. The beauty of this forum is that you can set up your account with a link to your own website, allowing readers of your answers to click through to your website for more information.
Answers is a great way to get highly targeted traffic to your website because you can select only those questions whose answers you specialize in. You can select the exact questions where you can provide the most value. And when you leave that value on the forum, the precise people you want will be the ones who read it.
Think about this for a second. Who do you think will be reading the questions you're providing answers to? Well, it will be exactly those people who don't yet know the answer and those who actually WANT the answer. In other words, they are exactly the people you want to find. In fact, I would say it's the most direct way to find your ideal customer online.
Posting on forums like Answers only becomes successful when you've posted a number of responses already. There are literally thousands of questions on Answers and a single contribution will do little to increase your website's traffic statistics. But if you dedicate an hour each day to post answers, you'll be amazed how quickly it builds up and soon, you'll be getting a steady stream of traffic on your front door.
Yahoo also awards contributors with points, earned through continued contributions and positive feedback from other users. Once you've accumulated a lot of points, the confidence factor starts to rise and other users will realize you're an authority. That will only increase the percentage of users who click through to your profile and then on to your website.
Building website traffic isn't difficult. It doesn't even cost a lot of money. It just takes time and a little know-how. Yahoo Answers is a perfect example and I hope you take advantage of that resource and start building an identity for yourself and letting the internet take care of the rest. You'll be amazed at the benefits you can receive by giving away your expertise for free.
