Viral Tactics To Drive Traffic to Your Website

There are many viral tactics that can be used to drive traffic to your website. Don’t underestimate the power of a number of small streams. Many mistakenly think that the only good traffic stream is a large stream, whereas a number of small streams can also create a significant river of traffic.

Remember, people aren’t stupid. They know if you are just running a cheap advertising gimic or actually providing something of value. Advertising ploys don’t go viral. So be honest with your potential viewers.

Ways to offer value include:

* Offer something useful
* Offer something new
* Offer something educational
* Offer something entertaining
* Offer something controversial

There are plenty of other ways. These are just some of the most commonly used methods. Just remember – high quality.

For some making it viral happens only once. Still others enjoy repeated viral success. For still others they enjoy viral success but not ‘over the top’ success. While viral traffic generation is an important way to generate traffic to your website, it certainly should not be the only method that you use. True success incorporates a number of different traffic techniques.

Be creative and try different traffic techniques to see which work best for your website. What works for one site may not be what works best for another site. The only thing limiting you is your imagination.

How to Go Viral

1. Offer quality
2. Give something of value away
3. Create a great video clip
4. Create a brandable e-book
5. Blog for Traffic
6. Use Social Bookmark sites
7. Use an RSS Feed
8. Be a content provider
9. Run a contest
10. Brand products
11. Build a community
12. Start an affiliate program
13. Write a press release

The key to generating high traffic volumes is to get your website name and address noticed as much as you can, by as many people as you can, in as many places as you can. Some methods will work better for you than others, so make sure that you experiment and use analytics to see what’s working best and what traffic techniques you should drop.

Getting the traffic to the site is very important. However, once they are there it is very important that you are clear about what it is you want them to do. You need to offer a strong close for the traffic that makes it to your site.

Combine a number of different traffic techniques in addition to your viral tactics.

What Good Traffic Techniques Will do For Your Website

Traffic – it’s really what makes or breaks a website or blog. If you have good targeted traffic to your website or blog, you’re on the road to success. If you have no traffic or very little traffic, then regardless of how great your products/services, you cannot do well online.

Think of your website like it’s a brick and mortar store. If you build your store in a busy mall or in a strip mall, you have traffic. That traffic comes into your store and you have the opportunity to sell them. However, if you decide to build your store on the outskirts of town just off a highway suddenly you no longer have access to traffic and you are much more likely to fail.

The same applies to your website. You need to make sure it places well in the search engines and that you create a flow of traffic to your website. You also want that traffic to be targeted so that when they arrive you have the opportunity to sell them something.

You do this by using every opportunity to create a link to your website and drive traffic there. You might start by creating a link exchange with a few relevant sites that are in your industry. That way there visitors might see your link and click on it bringing their traffic over to your site.

Backlinks are really good as well. These are one way links into your website, and Google along with other search engines see these as more important than two-way links. There are many ways that you can create a backlink or one way link back to your site.

Take advantage of the many article banks out there. When you create your article make sure it’s of value to the reader. At the bottom you’ll have your bio, which will have a link back to your website.

Social media is another extremely powerful tool. You can create your business page on Facebook and start to engage people in conversation, create offers, share information, and more. Not only do you have Facebook, there are other sites like Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc. Take advantage of any of the relevant social media sites. They are a great way to engage a large number of people and then have them come to your website.

Bringing targeted traffic to your site is key to closing the deal and selling them something. If you sell B widgets and your visitors are looking for D widgets, you’ll not sell them. So make sure that when you are promoting your site you are doing your part to ensure the traffic you generate is targeted. Once they arrive on your site the rest is up to you closing a sale.
