Are you spending hundreds of dollars on advertising
campaigns, only to find out that you have earned a very small profit or
none at all? Here are 5 illustrious strategies that will help you
explode and create viral traffic to your web site.

1.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 web masters that
exchange links with other web sites have a links page. Look for the
links page and see if they provide instructions on how you should link
to their web site. Contact the web master 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 web master with the page that
you have placed their link on. Always make sure that you provide the
web master with your web site url,title and description so that he/she
can link to your web site in return.

If you keep contacting other web sites on a consistent
basis,at least 10% of the web masters that you contact will exchange
links with you. You will receive traffic from your link partners and
also from the search engines. Link popularity is a major part of the
search engines algorithm. Remember to only contact web masters with
related web sites that have a links page. Contacting unrelated web
sites can result in spam complaints.

2.Writing Articles – This strategy creates viral traffic
from all different angles. The key here is to provide 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 many different
announcement 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. Once you submit your articles the
potential for hundreds of visitors begins. Ezine publishers can send
your article to thousands of readers and other publishers will place
your article on their web sites.

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

3.Affiliate Programs – This is probably the most
rewarding strategy to create viral traffic to your web site. The idea
here is to recruit an unlimited 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. Another option is to purchase software that
allows you to setup your affiliate program.

4.Free Services – Providing free services is a strategy
that yahoo and microsoft have been using for years. The idea here is to
provide a free version of a service and a paid version. If someone
upgrades to the paid version of your service they should be able to
benefit from extra features. This strategy can easily explode the
traffic to your web site if you provide a useful service. Visitors will
refer others to visit your web site creating a never ending flow of
traffic.

5.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. A good anti-cheating system will
ensure that only real visitors are looking at your web site.

These are 5 illustrious strategies that can explode your
web site traffic. Implement some or all of these strategies into your
marketing plan and you will create a never ending source of viral
traffic to your web site.
