Top traffic surging tips to make your server scream STOP!
How to think out of the box, in the never- ending quest for the almighty traffic surge.
In this short report I'm going to outline a few little tricks to keep the traffic coming even when you stop promoting..
One of the most important promotions is links, you have to have links back to you site or noone will find you nor will the search engines know you exist..
And prior to what you may have heard all links aren't created equal, no no, the best link is the "one-way" link, yep a one-way link to your site from a highly related site is like gold to the search engines mainly google. One-way links are more difficult to obtain than traditional reciprocal links, but the pay off in securing solid long-term search engine ranking results is far greater.
But Dennis getting one-way links is tougher than trying to pull a nail with your teeth!
Well, it doesn't have to be and I'm going to outline a few ways to accomplish this feat:
1) Create an interest:
Create a informational, interesting web site that is helpful, and other sites will naturally link to it.
2) Write content that gets attention:
Do something crazy, outrageous or brilliant and people will link to your site without being asked or asking you :).
3) Submit your site to directories:
Submit your site to major directories, such as Yahoo! and DMOZ.org, in the appropriate category. There is also several other smaller directories, search them out and submit to them as well...
4) Participate in forums:
Participate helpfully in forums which allow a text link to your site in the signature. Make sure to read the forum instructions first, or you'll risk getting scolded if you do something wrong :).
5) Ask newsletters to publish your article:
Write articles and submit them to newsletters which are then archived in their online newsletter.
6) Submit articles to article directories:
This is a great way to get one-way links, just write a great article and submit it to the article directories, not only will you have a link from there but also other publishers will use your article on their sites so even more one-way links..
7) Publish articles on your site:
Make sure to publish your articles on your site and invite other sites to publish them on their sites, with a link back to your site.
8) Syndicate your material to other sites:
Create a content syndication feed (RSS feed) and include a link to your site. Make sure to use php rather than JavaScript to ensure search engines parse your headings and links!
9) Write testimonials for products you love:
When you purchase a product and it exceeds your expectations e-mail the business a testimonial. Make sure your testimony is detailed. Give them permission to publish it on their web site, and see if they will link it to your site in return.
10) Free software tools provided with required link back to website:
Have a program created that others can add to their site for their visitors, with a link back to your site.
Another great resource is to submit your news or press release - Whenever anything big goes on with your site then you can submit your news or press release to other sites that actively publish news of other sites. This not only provides you inbound one-way links but also brings a lot of free traffic to your website.
One-way link building means hard work and long term determination to achieve good link popularity results. By improving the quality of your website, you improve the chance of getting good quality natural links. Spend a set amount of time each week on getting quality one-way links to achieve your goal. By using this long-term linking plan you will be able to build links for optimum link popularity success.
Another way is to set up a system to collect emails of your visitors, via a form on your site a squeeze page or popups,popunders, and exit popups.. I know popups have got a bad wrap lately but they are still affective..
Now they have tools to get around the popup blockers and here is a site that does a pretty good job of getting your message through: http://www.instantpopover.com/
For the squeeze page, it is just a simple page that collects the name and email address of your visitor and in return you give them something of value and send them to a another page(usually a product you have for sale) here is an example of a squeeze page: http://www.higherrevenuemarketing.com/seo-revolution/
Any way you can, you need to get their email address and follow up with them, have an autoresponder series setup to follow up with them for at least 5 days and try to sell them what it is you have for sale whether it be your own product or an affiliate product. Just don't try to hard sell them in the follow ups, have it to where the product compliments the course in the series.
Another couple of ways of getting repeat
traffic:
1) setting up a bookmark our site.
2) setting up a
refer our site to your friends:
This works well, if you give them an
incentive to refer a friend, maybe a course or an article or anything of value
to your visitors.
There is several ways of getting traffic and free traffic at that, just do what I laid out above, every day, get you a game plan and stick to it, and I guarantee if you do this and stick with it before long you won't know what to do with all the traffic :)
