Copyright 2004 Benjamin Scott
Are you spending hundreds of dollars on advertising
campaigns, only to find out that you have earned a very
small profit or none at all? Here are 5 illustrious
strategies that will help you explode and create viral
traffic to your web site.
1.Reciprocal Links Think of reciprocal linking as a mini
joint venture. Go to any major search engine and search for
sites that are related or similar to yours. The majority of
web masters that exchange links with other web sites have a
links page. Look for the links page and see if they provide
instructions on how you should link to their web site.
Contact the web master and inform him/her that you have
linked to their web site and request that they link to your
web site in return. Remember to provide the web master with
the page that you have placed their link on. Always make
sure that you provide the web master with your web site
url,title and description so that he/she can link to your
web site in return.
If you keep contacting other web sites on a consistent
basis,at least 10% of the web masters that you contact will
exchange links with you. You will receive traffic from your
link partners and also from the search engines. Link
popularity is a major part of the search engines algorithm.
Remember to only contact web masters with related web sites
that have a links page. Contacting unrelated web sites can
result in spam complaints.
2.Writing Articles This strategy creates viral traffic
from all different angles. The key here is to provide a
resource box at the end of your article with a link to your
web site. Once you write your article you will need to
submit it to the many different announcement lists on the
internet. There are companies that will charge you a small
fee to submit your articles for you, or you can submit
them on your own for free. Once you submit your articles
the potential for hundreds of visitors begins. Ezine
publishers can send your article to thousands of readers
and other publishers will place your article on their web
sites.
If you have a good resource biography at the end of your
article hundreds of people may visit your web site. Your
rankings will start to rise on the search engines due to
high link popularity, creating another source of traffic.
3.Affiliate Programs This is probably the most rewarding
strategy to create viral traffic to your web site. The idea
here is to recruit an unlimited number of affiliates that
are willing to sell your products for a commission. You
never lose money with this strategy because you only pay
your affiliates when they make a sale. This strategy will
also increase your link popularity since many of the
affiliates will send traffic to your web site by linking
directly to it. If you do your research you will find
companies that can setup an affiliate program for you.
Another option is to purchase software that allows you to
setup your affiliate program.
4.Free Services Providing free services is a strategy
that yahoo and microsoft have been using for years. The
idea here is to provide a free version of a service and a
paid version. If someone upgrades to the paid version of
your service they should be able to benefit from extra
features. This strategy can easily explode the traffic to
your web site if you provide a useful service. Visitors
will refer others to visit your web site creating a never
ending flow of traffic.
5.Manual traffic exchanges A traffic exchange allows you
to visit other web sites in exchange for visitors to your
own web site. Many traffic exchanges have a referral system
in place. If you refer someone to join the traffic
exchange, you receive a percentage of visits to your web
site any time your referrals surf the exchange. The key
here is to do your research and look for a traffic exchange
that has a good anti-cheating system. A good anti-cheating
system will ensure that only real visitors are looking at
your web site.
These are 5 illustrious strategies that can explode your
web site traffic. Implement some or all of these strategies
into your marketing plan and you will create a never ending
source of viral traffic to your web site.
