Okay guys, THIS is how you use social networks to get 100,000hits in under a week. (linkbaiting)
- SEO |
DISCLAIMER: While the mass amount of traffic is lovely, this is mainly a LINK BAIT TUTORIAL. People will link to your site, due to all the interesting content you create.
Please stop suggesting hypotheses predicting that this traffic does not convert. It doesn't convert for boring products. But it gives you mass organic links regardless.
Hey everyone.
Today I'm going to give back to the Warrior forum community and share my favourite and most effective traffic strategy.
This method, used carefully, will amalgamate a hundred of thousand hits in under a week to even the most bland and mundane of unoptimized, new websites.
You should have an active account with AT LEAST the first three of these.
Glancing around this forum, I see a lot of you "using" these social sites. I notice many of you advising others to create hundreds of pages on these sites and ping them, thus creating backlinks.
While you are creating backlinks, you're also obliterating your rating as a quality poster on these networks.
(besides, if you think backlinks are about quantity, you ought to do some more reading!)
I'm going to be focusing primarily on StumbleUpon. Not only is it arguably the best social network (in terms of interesting content) I've ever seen, but it's an unparalleled traffic source.
I've been with Stumbleupon since 2003 I've even helped them code & build their toolbar and debug it places (back in the early days).
At a glance:
The toolbar has a button, pushing this button delivers a site with relevant content that interests you. You then rate the content that you just viewed and Stumbleupon gains a better idea of
a) The kind of stuff you like.
b) The trends and changes in what we like, as a society.
Stumbleupon knows what you like because you select categories of interests when you register (about 270 or so).
It uses this as a starting point and then matches you with like-minded stumblers and serves you similar content.
You can also accumulate (real-life and virtual) friends on Stumbleupon. Stumbleupon uses these as a similar interest source as well.
The difference between Stumbleupon and other Social bookmarking sites is that a good time is only a button click away. Unlike say, Reddit, where you have to go to the Reddit page to scan through content that you MIGHT find interesting Stumbleupon delivers it right to your doorstep, and it does so more accurately every time, because it learns about you.

<<But I already use social networks?>>First of all, let's forget Facebook and Twitter for a second; they're great business tools and everyone [should] know[s] how to use those. In this post, I'll be telling you all about how I use social discovery and social bookmarking services.
☞ StumbleuponThere are others but these are the big players.
☞ Digg
☞ /. (Slashdot)
☞ Technorati
☞ del.icio.us (I exploit Delicious for an entirely different purpose, AUTHORITY TAGGING - using Lisa's tutorial at InLineSEO)

Listen, nobody on Digg wants to find out about the boring website you just built that sells golf balls and golf shoes.
They want to see stuff like this (below) along with an explanatory article that pertains to the elasticity and manufacturing standards of golf balls.
(yes, that's a golf ball hitting a steel plate)

<<So what's so special about StumbleUpon?>>Stumbleupon is a toolbar. Now I know we all hate those annoying useless toolbars that are oh-so-frequently forced upon us, but this is the most incredible toolbar you're likely to ever see. I suggest you get it.
