How To Use Tell A Friend Script For Viral Marketing

By Sophia Anderson


Unless you have traffic to your website you cannot generate online sales. No matter how beautiful your website is and how well designed your product is, nothing can happen without traffic.

However generating traffic doesn't require boatloads of money as some people think. There are avenues of traffic which require huge investment but for people on a shoestring budget there are other ways of attracting targeted traffic. This article speaks about how to attract website traffic with no money.

Another misconception about traffic is that if any website attracts hordes of traffic, it will automatically generate revenue. But that is not necessarily so. Even though your website may attract tons of traffic, there may be very little sales. And the reason for that is that the conversion ratio is very low because the traffic is not targeted. Simply speaking, the people who are visiting your website are not interested in your product. Therefore the main focus should be for targeted traffic and not just the numbers. So here are some ways by which you can generate low cost traffic or free traffic for your website.

Word travels really fast through this medium. The script opens a window where the user has to input their name and email address and the recipient's email address and the message or the link is sent to the recipient. Since the mail is sent by a friend, there is less possibility of spam and more chances of the recipient opening the message.

2. Offering a free newsletter
A newsletter seems like hard work. But you can use people who will provide articles in exchange for free advertising to your subscriber list. Else, you can create your own content and ask readers to subscribe. If your newsletter has exceptional content, readers will keep coming back for more.

2. Traffic Exchange Services
Traffic exchanges are websites on which you can view other people's sites in return for credits and in turn use those credits for website visitors. You can also purchase credits if you don't want to view other sites. However traffic exchanges are not suitable for all niches. People who approach a traffic exchange are generally those who have a product or service to market. Therefore if you have a product for these marketers, the traffic exchange could serve you best. Remember again, its about targeted traffic and not just raping up the traffic numbers with non-targeted visitors.
