7 SUREFIRE Ways To Increase Your Website Traffic And Link Popularity

Category: Traffic and Tracking Date: 2001-05-18
Link popularity simply means the number of links there are on the Net which leads back to your site. It's as simple as that. The more you have, the more your site is popular and more is your chance of getting higher listing in search engines. He who has the most is the winner!

Create Something Unique

"IF YOU KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING, YOU'RE GONNA KEEP ON GETTING WHAT YOU'VE BEEN GETTING!"

The more UNIQUE and exciting your service, the more sites will link back to you. Take sendfree.com for an example. They came up with an idea of ad exchange autoresponders.

When you sign up with them, you get free autoresponders. Each of your autoresponder messages will carry an ad from other autoresponders and your ads will be displayed in their autoresponders. This way your ads will be seen even by people who are not using your autoresponders.

This service of theirs is fast becoming popular.

Another great invention is Banner Explode 2 - http://www.raovishal.com/explode.htm This one truly harnesses the power of the Internet.

Many Search engines allow you to put up a search engine box at your website. You make your site look more professional and they get THOUSANDS of hits in return.

Affiliate programs are another great way to increase your link popularity. The more lucrative your affiliate program is... the more number of people will promote it!

You can always IMPROVE upon already existing services and tweak them in to more faster and exciting ones!

Remember, before using any service, the user will always ask himself, What's In It For Him!

Give Away FREE Services

Another way to increase link popularity is by giving away free services. These services can be anything from web spaces, CGI forms hosting services... Your links or banners will be on every page of these services. That way you will get tremendous exposure.

A service which is fast becoming popular is autoresponders. Autoresponders are a great marketing tool and there is a great demand for them. You can set up your own free autoresponder service and in return you can have your ad in all the autoresponders on your system!

Giving away free web space is also a great idea to gain lot of exposure for your business.

The list of services is endless. All depends on what niche market you are targeting.

These free services will help you a lot in generating a self sustaining traffic to your website.

Create New Software Or Improve Existing Ones

If you are fortunate enough to be able to do programming yourself, then you can create some unique software which will take the Internet by storm. Or you can get any programmer do it for you.

New unique software spreads like wild fire. If you don't have any new ideas, then try to improve upon existing ones and price them cheaper! With proper pricing you can beat your competition straightaway.

The more people who use your software, the more links will lead back to your site.

Giving Away FREE eBooks

One of the fastest and the cheapest ways to market a product is through eBooks. A good eBook can be your best sales man working 24 hrs a day!

Your eBook should only provide a link to your main product. Also give away free distribution rights with your eBooks. Who knows, some of your readers might turn out to be high traffic website owners and they might put your eBook on their site!

If you can't write your own eBook then you can create FREE eBooks for other people. Got my point. You will be like a publisher for them. You can in turn have a link of your website in their eBooks for the service you provide to them.

Signature Files

Signature or Sig files are 3-4 lines of message at the bottom of every e-mail/message you send or post to a forum. It is a universally accepted form of letting everyone know what you do and where your site is.

You should include a sig file at the end of EVERY e-mail message you send or while posting to message boards. Make it a habbit. Read this excellent article by Allen Says of Internet Marketing Warriors to learn more about the power of Sig files.

Autoresponder Courses

In addition to a regular autoresponder, there are also autoresponders which send multiple follow-up messages. You can setup the interval at which the messages are sent.

You can automate a large part of your marketing efforts by giving away such courses.

Your main objective should be to EDUCATE them. Once you do that, you gain CREDIBILITY and it becomes easier selling to them.

Here are some free autoresponder services:

Viral Marketing Techniques

This one seems to be getting a lot of attention these days. What it costs is pennies, but the amount of traffic it can generate is in thousands, with virtually no effort from your side!

All that's required is a little "creativity".

The simplest example of viral marketing is "Tell A Friend Script". All websites should have this script installed.

To look at a more full fledged example of viral marketing just point your browser to the link below. Just do exactly what has been stated there.

Didn't you like it? I bet you must have also recommended it to your friends.

Now imagine each person visiting this site, referring it to 3 of his friends, who in turn refer 3 of their friends...

How much traffic would that generate? It's unimaginable.

Once you are getting enough traffic, you can display banners, add pop up subscription boxes... anything.

Just apply some creativity and you will definitely come out with a better strategy.

You can find lot's of free scripts at http://cgi.resourceindex.com/

One last piece of advice. Once you have created something unique, be sure to advertise it effectively and massively as there will be many COPYCATS springing up everywhere. A proper advertising campaign will be the key to your success. You will goof up the whole thing if your campaign fails.

Your best bet would be to contact a few BIG ezine publishers and offer them a piece of your pie to make a special announcement in their ezine. Direct e-mailing works. Also, if you really want your service to take the Internet by storm then consider having an affiliate program for it. Affiliates make up to 60% of the sales!

"Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there."
- Will Rogers

To your success,
