LESS USED TRAFFIC GENERATION TECHNIQUES
This article has methods
that will generate traffic for your
site, and they are not suitable for
every body. However, you can at least
utilise one method given below.
-
Give free web space
To implement this method you need to
have your own dedicated server, else
this method will be very costly for you.
You only have to create a page to give
free hosting accounts to your customers
on your server. Make sure that every
website set up on your server, for free,
displays a text ad or banner advertising
your web site or the product or service
sold by you. Imagine the potential of
this strategy. Say your website is
getting about 1000 hits every day due to
this strategy, then a conversion rate of
just 2%, will result to about 20 sales
every day.
-
Give free auto responders
Does your host provide free auto
responders? If yes, then you can
consider giving it away to your
customers for free. E-mail marketing is
one of the most effective ways to
advertise your web site or service or
product. If you place the URL of your
site or a small ad on each mail that is
sent using the free auto responders
given by you, imagine the exposure that
your web site will receive. This method
is very effective, yet not used or
thought of by any one.
-
Host CGI forms
Most people don’t know what to do with
CGI forms. If you know how to do it, the
traffic that is generated from hosting
these forms for others is really
amazing. Every body knows how much
traffic one can generate by has good
rankings on search engines, and also the
effect of back links. By hosting simple
CGI forms, you will be able to get a
massive amount of back links to your
site, which will generate a huge amount
of traffic.
-
Write free reports
This is also a simple and powerful
method to get websites to insert a link
to your web site. Create a report about
your web site in a unique and useful
way. Try and make your style of writing
more entertaining and informative.
Insert a resource box that has the URL
of your web site in it. Inform the
readers that they can utilise the report
without altering it, more importantly
the resource box. Send it to as many e-zines
as possible, submit to all major search
engines and also email it to websites
which host reports or articles like the
one you have created.
If you do these 3 steps properly, a
great amount of traffic will be
generated for your site.
-
Unorthodox offline techniques
Never, ever underestimate the potential
of press releases. A well timed and
properly designed press release has the
potential to get the URL of your web
site on news programmes on TV and radio
and also get it published in popular
magazines. This method has the potential
to generate an incredible amount of
traffic.
