Increase Traffic With Viral Marketing
Viral Marketing is allowing people to giveaway and use your free
product or service in order to multiply your marketing quickly
over the internet. The idea behind viral marketing is that you
includee your ad with the freebies people giveaway or use. Below
are ten high impact viral marketing strategies:
1. Allow people to reprint your articles on their website, in
their e-zine, newsletter, magazine or ebooks. Include your
resource box and the option for article reprints at the bottom
of each article.
2. Allow people to use any of your freebies as free bonuses for
products or services they sell. Include your ad on all your
freebies.
3. Allow people to use your online discussion board for their
own web site. Some people don't have one. Just include your
banner ad at the top of the board.
4. Allow people to sign up for a free web site on your server.
Since you are giving away the space, require them to include
your banner ad at the top of the site.
5. Allow people to add their link to your free web site
directory. Just require that they return a link back to your web
site, advertising your directory.
6. Allow people to provide your free online service to their
web site, visitors, or e-zine subscribers. They could be free
e-mail, e-mail consulting, search engine submissions, etc.
7. Allow people to give away your free software. Just include
your business advertisement inside the software program.
8. Allow people to give away your free web design graphics,
fonts, templates, etc. Just include your ad on them or require
people to link directly to your web site.
9. Allow people to place an advertisement in your free ebook
if, in exchange, they give away the ebook to their web visitors
or e-zine subscribers.
10. Allow people to give away your free ebook to their
visitors. Then, their visitors will also give it away. This will
just continue to spread your ad all over the internet.
11. Give away an electronic freebie with your ad on it. Allow
your visitors to also give the freebie away. This'll increase
your ad exposure and attract people to your web site at the same
time.
12. Combine your products or services into one big package deal
with other businesses offerings. You could share a web site and
advertise the package deal; which means double the traffic.

your particular item or service for free. If you're offering a
free e-zine, submit it to all the free e-zine directories on the
internet.
14. Participate on message boards. Post answers to other
people's questions, ask questions and post appropriate
information. Include your signature file at the end of all your
postings.
15. Exchange classified or sponsor ads with other free e-zine
publishers. If there is a huge subscriber difference between
e-zines, one can run more ads to make up for it.
16. Post your ad on free advertising areas on the internet. You
can post it on free classified ad sites ,free for all links
sites, newsgroups that allow ads ,free yellow page directories,
etc.
