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

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.
