| The Server-Crushing Traffic Strategy You've Probably Never Heard Of |
|
Traffic is often described as the 'lifeblood of our internet businesses' - and rightly so! Without traffic you won't make any money. There's no point having a fantastically designed site with profit centres scattered all over your site if you have no traffic. This article will reveal one under-used - and rarely talked about - method of sky-rocketing traffic to your website and exploding your internet income.
Traffic is often described as the 'lifeblood of our internet businesses' - and rightly so! Without traffic you won't make any money. There's no point having a fantastically designed site with profit centres scattered all over your site if you have no traffic. This article will reveal one under-used - and rarely talked about - method of sky-rocketing traffic to your website and exploding your internet income. This method is 'Stumbleupon'. Stumbleupon is a method of social bookmarking and is capable of delivering thousands of visitors to your website within hours of getting set up. StumbleUpon currently has over 4 million registered users - imagine the potential of this tool. The process is a simple one, just follow the steps below and prepare yourself for a stampede of visitors to your site. Step #1 Firstly, head on over to StumbleUpon and download the toolbar. Once downloaded, go through the steps to complete the installation. Step #2 Open up your browser and you should now see the StumbleUpon toolbar along the top. Don't worry if you're confused by the many different symbols and icons - I still am and I've been using it for nearly a year. There's only one icon we really need right now and that's the "Thumbs Up" or "I Like It" icon. Step #3 Head over to your website or blog and find two or three pages that you believe to contain particularly enlightening or interesting information. The StumbleUpon technique doesn't work with ordinary, bland content. It needs to be a little bit different, or teach something new otherwise you'll be wasting your time. Step #4 Now you need to bookmark your pages and add it to the directory. To do this, click on the "Thumbs Up" icon. A new box will pop up and you'll be asked a few things. Write a review - In this section write one or two sentences on why you're bookmarking this site. Try and include relevant keywords if possible. Choose a topic - I recommend you only use the major categories already presented to you. Choose a category that best represents the topic of your page. Choose tags - Give broad tags and don't give more than 5. If your page is about 'detoxing your body', then choose tags such as - health, weight loss, detox. Once all of the above is completed, click on "Submit This Site". Your page is now added to the directory and fellow Stumblers will come to your page. If your page is valuable, then others will also click on the "Thumbs Up" icon and even more people will come to your page. Try it out and see if it works and email me your results. |
