I have recently had the opportunity to do an interview on Zubin Kutar founder of WebtrafficROI, who is very well known in the blogger world and was voted top internet marketer and blogger in 2009.

I hope that by doing this interview my readers will gain some insight in the industry and perhaps get a few tips along the way.

(DL) Could you share with my readers your background, where you were brought up and how long you have been involved with affiliate marketing and SEO and how long it has been since you have been running your own personal blog.

(ZK) I grew up in India where I did my education and them moved to Canada, I presently live in Toronto, Canada.

I’ve been involved with the internet and SEO since 2000. I was working with a start up travel portal at that time. I started the blog in 2008 to sharing my experiences and knowledge on internet marketing. I got involved in affiliate marketing once I started the blog. Since then blogging has been a passion, today the blog broadly covers all the topics related to Internet Marketing and Making Money Online.

(DL)  They call you the top commentator in the blogosphere, what would you say that is the best part about commenting, and what motivates you to be a top commentator?

(KT) Ahh, I did not know I had a name in the blogosphere , I started commenting as an experiment to see if I could get any traffic to my blog as I did not know of any other way that you get targeted visitors at zero cost. The biggest cost involved in commenting is your time. The traffic that you get on the blog by commenting is as valuable as the traffic that comes from search engines and through paid ads.

(DL) I see you are very fortunate enough to be living in Canada and not too far from John Chow, furthermore I see you have been networking at affiliate events with Pros such as Shoemoney, can you tell me about your experiences and what you have picked up from being involved with these guys.

(ZK)  I have been blessed to be living in a beautiful country, if I would have not been here I would have not had a blog. I happened to read about John Chow in Entrepreneur, a magazine I picked up from the public library. I was amazed when I read that he was making $40,000 from a blog. I started following his blog and then had a chance to meet him in Toronto, he has been a good friend ever since. I was also fortunate to meet Yaro in Toronto last year. These guys are just amazing, its a different experience talking to them and being around them. They are full of positive vibes. I hope some of it has rubbed off on me

(DL) You always seem to be up to date with what is going on in the affiliate community and therefore seem as though you never run out of ideas to blog about on a daily basis, what kind of tips could you recommend for other bloggers or affiliate marketers out there that struggle in finding fresh topics to post about daily?

(ZK) As a blogger you need to be updated on the latest trends, topics and the strategies that work online , else you wont be able to write and educate you audience about it. I can only recommend you to read a lot of books, blogs and sites related to your niche, it will help you get lots of ideas for your blog.

(DL)  I see you have a huge fan group in Facebook, how have you achieved getting such a high amount of fans? Have they become fans naturally from your blog, or have you been using social marketing techniques to gather fans from other sources?

(ZK) I am surprised at that too, Ive never done any activity to increase my fans , in fact its been only 2 month since I added the FB widget..I sent out a newsletter to my email base when I added the widget, I am yet to write a blog post telling user to join my fan page.

(DL)  What would be the best advice you would give to any new blogger getting started, or someone that has some experience but has not yet achieved their personal goals. Are there any useful tips you could suggest to get them more motivated and ramp up their sales?

(ZK) Money is a by product of any entrepreneurial venture, it will follow. Have a bit of fun with your venture. Dream, Build a Dream and Sell the dream.

(DL) I see you are very passionate about SEO along with affiliate marketing of course. What are some examples of real traffic building you have accomplished in the past for your own site? Have you done any successful campaigns that are worth mentioning through forms of internet marketing?

(ZK)  I spend a lot of time on building traffic through search engines, that drives majority of my visits. I recommend users to work hard on quality building links for your blog posts. Once you write a post market it across your network and across search engines to drive traffic.

(DL) How long has it taken you to make a good income, and would you mind sharing how much roughly you make from blogging and how much time each day you spend on blogging and how far would you like to take it in order to be totally satisfied?

(ZK) I made my first dollar from the blog after almost six months of blogging, if you are willing to wait for 6 – 8 months of continuous blogging and marketing yourself then consider it. I spend about 4 -5 hours a day blogging and marketing my blog.

(DL) Would you be willing enough to share with my readers your most memorable moment both online or offline and related to affiliate marketing or SEO?
(ZK) The moment is yet to come when I cross a five figure income from the blog each month.

Note: As you can see from this interview being a top blogger is possible if you follow your dreams and are passionate about what you post. Zubin is a good role model for those who wish to have someone to look up to.
