Viral Traffic Strategies

Only recently that I've learned how powerful publishing your articles to directories really is and how it has a viral effect. All it takes is for one publisher with massive subscribers to publish your article then those subscribers would take your published article and broadcast it to their own subscibers and so on and so on. It's just mind boggling.

Here's a snapshot of my article stats at Articledash.com If you notice that one of the article have been downloaded over 50 times, and I just published that about two months ago.
Go check it out right now !

You don't really realize how effective submitting articles is until you see the actual results for yourself. It's simply amazing.

There are other ways you can duplicate that kind of viral effect using different methods. Even though these tactics are not as powerful as publishing an article but they will do their job of spreading your link all over cyberspace like a bad cold virus.

Thank You Page ads ! - This is an empty piece of real estate of your website that you can share with other high traffic sites. If you are selling anything online or publishing an ezine or simply giving stuff away, you need some ways to says thank you to those who are helping your business or hobby grow. There are thousands of high traffic sites out there are meets your target market, just imagine having your link being promoted in those pages, this thank you page script will do that for you.

Advertising Know How- This is another huge network of ezine publishers and writers where they exchange advertising space amongts each other increase their subscriber base. If you want more subscribers for your newsletter that has to do with work at home programs or network marketing tips, it is a must join program.

As more and more people sign up under you and start placing those codes in their websites, you will start receiving traffic from those sites in no time. The hard part is of course getting high traffic sites or blogs that have the same topic as yours to join under you but if they can only see the long term benefits of this tactic, how can you NOT join or at least check it out.

Ultimate Traffic System - This program has been around since 2001. It's a very simple system yet effective. The secret to this system is getting others to join under you and have your downline do the same. All you do is view 6 websites before getting your own replicated viral traffic system to promote.

There are different variation to these viral traffic programs but they all have the same concept and yes! it works. Here's another one called Free Viral. This was the original script ofr UTS sytem before they sold it.

If someone in your downline happens to upgrade their free account, guess what, you earn a commission.

ADSVERT.COM

This is another viral text ad exchange program where you slap a piece of html code on your website to show other members' text ad. Here's what it looks like, you need to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to see it. It's free to sign up but if you want to purchase guaranteed click, they will keep showing your ad until you get the number if clicks that you purchase.

After you sign up, you will receive 2500 free text impression and your ad is shown three times every time you show one AdsVert ad.

It's been a week since I signed up and I managed to accumulate 6900 impression through traffic exchange and received 1 lousy click to my website (as of Sunday April 23, 2006). That's not good clickthru ratio, so I'm changing my ad copy.

My strategy is to promote Adsvert ads through traffic exchange sites using a splash page where I have active downlines. Every time my downline surf in a certain hit exchange, I get free credits, inturn I use those free credits to promote my splash page where my Adsvert ads are showing. As long as my downline in hit exchange are surfing, my Advert ad will be shown 24hours a day, plus I surf traffic exchange everyday too for more Adsvert impression. This way I will never ran out of impressions as long as my downline and myself are surfing traffic exchange and promoting our website at the same time.

Banner exchange programs have been around since I can remember and there's so many of them and it's difficult to choose which one to sign up for. The beauty of banner exchange is the same with what you get with traffic exchange. When people sign up under you and starts promoting their banners to accumulate banner impression credits, you get a portion of their banner traffic also.

One of my favorite banner exchange program is called LinkBuddies. They'll give you 500 free impressions just for signing up, they offer 1:1 ratio, you can sell unused banner impressions for cash but what sets Linkbuddies apart from competition is their awesome tracking stats and detailed report. If someone signs up under you, you get 20 % of their banner impressions. They have been around since 1997 and they have thousands and thousands of active members.
