Super Tactics To Create Your Own Web Site Rush Hour

Are you dropping BIG bucks on advertising campaigns, only to find that your bottom line has barely increased or worse, stayed the same? Here are 5 first-rate strategies that will help you break-out and generate viral traffic to your web site.

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 webmasters that exchange links with other web sites have a links or resources page as part of their site. This link/resources page is presented as a helpful resource for visitors to assist them in finding similar sites. It also provides a very valuable back-link to your site.

Look for the links page and see if they offer information and instructions on how you should link to their web site. Get in touch with the webmaster 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 webmaster with the page that you have placed their link on so that they can verify its existence. Always make sure that you provide the webmaster with your web site address and description, so that he/she can put up a reciprocal link to your web site.

If you keep contacting additional web sites on a regular basis, at least 10% of the webmasters that you contact will exchange links with you. You will obtain traffic from your link partners as well as from the search engines. Link popularity is a key part of the search engines algorithm. Remember to only contact webmasters with relevant content web sites that have a links page. Contacting dissimilar web sites can result in spam complaints.

Writing Articles - This stratagem creates viral traffic from myriad angles. The key here is to present 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 vast number of article 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 but be aware, it is time consuming. Once you submit your articles, there is a huge potential for thousands of visitors to your site. E-zine publishers can send your article to thousands of readers and other publishers will place your article on their web sites. Track the spread of your article using the search engines. You'll be amazed at how it blossoms.

If you have a good resource biography at the end of your article, thousands of surfers may visit your web site. Your rankings will start to go up on the search engines due to high link popularity, creating another source of traffic.

Affiliate Programs - This is probably the most gratifying strategy to create viral traffic to your web site. The thought here is to recruit a limitless 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. An alternative is to purchase software that allows you to setup and manage your own affiliate program.

Free Services - Everybody wants something for nothing. Internet visitors are no different. Providing free services is a strategy that Yahoo and Microsoft have been using for decades. The idea here is to offer a free version of a service and a paid version. If someone upgrades to the paid version of your service they gain access to exclusive products, discounts and many other extra features. This strategy can easily multiply the traffic to your web site if you provide a useful and valuable service. Prospects will refer others to visit your web site generating a boundless flow of traffic.

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 in place. A good anti-cheating system will guarantee that only real visitors are viewing your web site and not a robot script.

So there are a few strategies that can really boost your web site traffic. Execute some or all of these strategies into your marketing plan and you will generate a never ending stream of viral traffic to your web site.

Not 10...Not 6...Not 3...ONLY TWO. Two Secrets To Online Success

Everybody says 'follow these steps to achieve success' or 'secrets2success with one time fee' or something like this. They will give you a long list of steps or secrets...what ever you like to call them.

Have you written down that long list of strategies on a paper anytime?

Like Number 1 strategy for success...

Number 2 strategy for success...

Number 3 strategy for success...

If there is any chance you wrote them down on a paper, go now and revise them. Or try to memorize them.

I bet you would see the TWO secrets that I am going to tell you now in that list. Only thing is You don't know how important they are.

After my 17 years of online presence I found these TWO secrets (rather well known secrets) are most important for a business to thrive and establish.

***Number 1 blast away secret:***

"Sell a product which has Demand."

Have you heard of that? Sure you are. But people give least important to this.

Your product has demand in the market? Selling a product that has high conversion rate is profitable than a less marketable product.

Look around you for such product. Check the bulletin boards, participate in discussions, search affiliate products etc. Read the threads in the bulletin boards and look what problems they are facing.

Get to know what people are searching for.

http://www.search.com/top?tag=ex.se.fd.col.top

http://www.wordspot.com/

http://metaspy.com/

If you already own a product, then check these again:
• People really gonna need your product?
• What search terms they are using to find out your product or related products?
• How your competitors making money?
• Are your product like products available freely on the web?

If you are not satisfied with any of the criteria about your product, try to improve it or change your product.

***Number 2 blast away secret***

"Advertise Every day, if possible every hour and Minute"

No... I am not crazy. If you don't spend atleast 70% of your alloted time, no matter how much would that be, you don't reach your niche in your target market.

There are so many advertising methods: free or paid.

You don't have to go with paid advertising everytime. There is lot of space for free advertising too.

Some of the methods of advertising:
• Search engine optimization and submission
• Pay per click engines
• Ezine advertising (Free or paid)
• Write ezine articles and submit them to ezines and content sites
• Exchanging links with other websites
• Offline methods like business cards,pamplets etc.
• Building your opt-in list. Give away email courses through your autoresponder software.

Most important thing is 'Persistent Advertising'. One time keeping of an ezine ad and expecting lot of sales... it is not going to happen. Average of three for a click thru and average of seven exposures for a purchase will be necessary. So try to stick on to the same method for few days to see your ROI.

A good product with enough advertising will become a constant source of income for you.

Lastly I want to make a comment on affiliate programs. People join in half a dozen affiliate programs and keep dozens of banners on their webpages. They will expect sales through this method. It's never going to happen this way.

If you want a success in affiliate programs, stick to few of them which come close to your interest and promote them as if they are your own products.
