Welcome to Day 27 of 30 Days to More Traffic!

Introduction

Producing an informative video and submitting it to YouTube along with your website’s URL can send a hurricane of traffic in your direction.

Case Study:

Blendtec makes high-end blenders costing hundreds of dollars. They got a lot of attention with their “Will it Blend?” videos on youtube.com. They have videos of the blenders blending everything from golf balls to credit cards to glow sticks to even an iPhone. The video of the blender blending an iPod ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8H29jU8Wrs ) has been watched nearly 5 million times.

Don’t forget about the other video sites such as veoh.com, MySpace Video, and a South Korean-based video sharing site called CyWorld.com that actually gets more traffic than YouTube.

Also consider carefully titling your headlines with highly searched keywords and adding a whole lot of search engine optimized content in your description.

Search engines love video sites and so do web surfers.

Your videos don’t always have to informative. Many of the most watched videos are just silly and took very little to produce.

Welcome to Day 11 of 30 Days to More Traffic!

Introduction

You may have heard about viral marketing and viral this or that.

One of the easiest ways to get traffic is to create a viral email that people will forward to others.

Case study

My Mother loves to bake and in November of 2007 she forwarded an email to me with a list of 100 recipes for every imaginable cookie.

Now the email didn’t actually have every recipe but rather contained 100 links to the recipes on northpole.com

Someone at northpole.com had the bright idea of sending out an email with links to all their recipes.

They knew that people like my Mother would forward this email to everyone she knew that liked to bake.

This one email sent a flood of traffic to the northpole.com

The great thing about this is that it is so easy. No autoresponder is needed.

Simply craft an email with a list of pages on your site about a particular topic and send the email to a bunch of people who would like this information. If the information is good enough they will forward it to others.
