Last night I discovered how quickly you can get traffic to your site by using a couple of Web 2.0 sites.

I got a Twitter alert by Michael Cheney saying that his live Web cast at MichaelCheney.tv was about to begin at 8:00 EST.

I am on a few of Michael’s lists and didn’t receive any emails announcing this live event, so I was interested to find out what was going on. If you have a list the size that Michael has, it only makes sense to broadcast a message to them if you want to promote a Web cast.

Well, it turns out that there was some issues with his auto responder and his messages weren’t sent.

Did this destroy the whole event?

Not totally.

Sure he didn’t get as many viewers as he would have liked but the people that follow him on Twitter and his regulars who check his sites everyday (I think the man is part machine because he does a live show almost every night) showed up.

And as the old saying goes… “The show must go on”.

Michael gave a lot of great free information as usual and also offered an insane deal for the people who showed up.

Some good news… I got an email this morning saying that he is having a another Web cast tonight at 8:00 pm EST. So if you missed out last night, you have a chance to see what he’s up to tonight.

P.S. – Here’s a couple of videos for you. The first is a short clip about Michael’s show and the second is a full episode from one of his earlier shows on Ustream.
