Create "Top sites" to increase your traffic.
You have a website, beautiful in design and unique in content
but nobody knows about it. How to drive traffic to your website
easy and free? There are many ways to do that but today I want
you to tell about "Top Sites" software.
I'm sure your website is unique in content but it definitely has
competitors through out the Internet and probably it has other
websites close to its field but not competing with one you have.
How do like an idea to place your banner or text ad on the pages
of those websites? I bet you love it! Let me explain how you can
do that. First of all you need to download and install on your
server a piece of software that will allow you to track visitors
from other sites. Other website owners should come to your
website and sign up to get html code for button to be displayed
on their websites. You may write them email to invite them to
come to your website and register. Good explanation how both
sites benefit from this step in that email may help a lot but be
careful, email should be as personalized as possible as some
webmasters may consider it spam and act accordingly reporting to
your Hosting Provider.
Well, you have installed and got webmasters signed up what next?
Sit back and enjoy. Each time somebody from the others websites
visitors clicks on your button it will be counted as a voice for
that website. The more visitors website sends the higher
position it may gain in your listing and finally get more
visitors from your website. I would call this strategy "visitors
sharing". If somebody wants to leave your website it is be
better to drive them to other websites with the benefit to your
website then to make them simply close browser window, don't you
think so?
Here is the website address where you can download the top sites
installation:

It requires php and MySQL to run but I found installation and
configuration very simple and those guys have a good online
support on their website. It's up to you what version you would
like to install since there are a lot of "top sites" from
different vendors through out the Internet and many of them
offered for only a link back to the vendor's website. You may

One more tip. If you have found out that your competitors
already got a top site listing do not afraid to sign up for
their program. You may integrate their top sites into your
listing and that might help you to track visitors your
competitor will send to your site and those visitors, who left
your site and went to competitors. To do that you need only
change the URL of your site when you sign up for other website
top sites to the URL generated by your top site system. Thus
your top sites will be able to count incoming visitors. Then
just register competitor's website in your listing and instead
of URL of their website place the URL generated by their top
site system. That's the way they will be able to count visitors
you send them from your top site listing.
That's only one of free ways to get some visitors to your
website. It takes some efforts and time but it's free and you
will get visitors 24 hours 7 days a weak. To get some more ideas
