To be able to achieve success in the World Wide Web, you need traffic. Traffic, as has been said many times, is the lifeblood of any website. Without traffic, you can never achieve any profit in cyberspace.
The best way to generate the traffic that you need is by placing highly in the search engine results. And to do this, your website needs to have a high page rank. One of the more vital determinative factors of increasing your website’s page rank is the number of relevant back links pointing to your URL.
Now here’s the catch. It’s not as easy as exchanging back links with another webmaster. What you need is to gain one way back links from different sources. This is what search engines want. And this is what you should aim for.
How can you convince other webmasters to include a link of yours in their web pages? Here are some tactics you can employ.
* The best way to get some unilateral links is to ask other webmasters. You don’t have to employ subterfuge, as some of these webmasters will be kind enough to assent to your request. There’s no need to bribe them with all varieties of kindness even. You’ll be surprised with the sheer number of webmaster who will actually agree to your request. The important thing is that you try this route.
* Often however, it’s a “what’s in it for me” business. Offering a link back to his website usually does the trick, but then again, we’re after one way links here, not reciprocal ones. One of the better ways to win his assent is to offer him something that he needs for his website. We’re talking about content, of course, as every webmaster needs content. Write an article for him, and exclusively for him, with a subject that is relevant to his website. Then ask if you can include your link within the article. 90% of the time, such a webmaster will agree. How can he say no to free content?
* Another offer you can use as lure for webmasters for that vital virtual real estate that can host your website’s URL is an incentive program. If your website is selling some products, for example, you can tell the webmaster that you’d give the visitors that will come from his website a substantial discount. Such visitors will develop a sense of loyalty for the webmaster, and your proposition will be something that he’ll find difficult to dismiss.
* By far the best way to encourage webmasters from all over the World Wide Web to include your link in their web pages is by establishing an affiliate program. Such an affiliate program will reward these webmasters a specified commission for every sale they will manage to refer. John Reese, in one of his amazing Traffic Secrets conventions, said that if you’re not using affiliate programs, there’s something seriously wrong with you. Indeed, affiliate programs are the most efficient and the most expedient way of building your back links.
* Viral marketing is the next most effective way of gaining some back links, and this time, you won’t even have to actively invite people to include your URL in their web pages. Viral marketing comes in many forms. Just take a look at www.blogthings.com which provides a slew of cool additions for blog users. Because of the very interesting nature of what it provides, the website garners thousands of visitors per day without even having to advertise themselves. It’s all word of mouth. MySpace grew the same way. It’s system is viral in nature, and it expanded by nature as well.

One of the most amazing things about the hugely successful MySpace website is that it’s success is in large measure down to the activity of the members.
The members of MySpace create the content (which is regularly spidered by the Search Engines), the members routinely promote the site to their friends, colleagues and associates without MySpace having to do anything. There have been a lot of products recently which have focused on how an Internet Marketer can tap into the potential of MySpace.
However, whilst there are miliions (80+ million at the last look) of users of MySpace the biggest problem is that they are a very diverse and untargetted group of people. Therefore tapping into the potential involves an immense amount of work!
Having said that though for the Internet Marketer Social Network sites do offer an opportunity to absolutely dominate any niche that you are involved in or want to be involved in.
But you might be think that creating a site with the capabilities of MySpace seems like an overwhelming prospect! But just imagine if you were able to bring together the people in the niche you want to dominate by creating a MySpace clone for that Niche and properly target the members?
There is a solution which does not involve you spending tens of thousands of dollars in having a site created for you by a coder. The people at phpFox have put together an affordable (you can buy or lease the product) price and it’s an amazing product. Take a look at it by clicking on the phpFox link.

As we have now been running with the Tagging and Pinging approach with Social Bookmarking for a little while now based on the information in Tagging Secrets I thought that it was worth giving you an update! One of the questions I posed at the outset of this thread was whether it was sustainable in terms of generating traffic.
The answer so far seems to be a very definite yes! Traffic has continued to increase on a day by day basis at about 48% with some spikes when there are postings as one might expect. In fact I have just been looking at the Alexa Statistics and our 1 week average has broken the 100,000 barrier which seems good going to me.
The other thing that I have found that we are able to do is to drive traffic to a new blog or website fairly easily which has to be a good thing.
So in conclusion yes Tag and Ping coupled with Social Bookmarking as outlined in Lisa’s Tagging Secrets works. I will of course be continuing to test and evaluate.

The Free Report in the post below has received some very positive feedback and thank you for that.
I am still finding an absolute mass of information in the Tagging Secrets and I think used appropriately Tag and Ping and Social Bookmarking is going to be a long term strategy for building traffic. It will be interesting to see how the Search Engines develop their own thinking on this area and whether there is much more emphasis placed on Googles Bookmarking abilities and the like. There are some tremendous benefits to this “Search Engine of the People” approach without all the emphasis on complicated algorithims as well as some downsides of course.
Interesting to see how it develops over the coming months.
