Armageddon Unleashes Traffic
Tidal Wave
Hi Friend,
Last week I showed you some
cunning techniques to get more
no cost traffic to your web site
than you’d see at Spaghetti
Junction at rush hour on an
August bank holiday. Today I’m
going to blast past that by
revealing stealth tactics
that’ll get you more fr.e’e
traffic than you’d see if the
whole world were fleeing
Armageddon!
These traffic tactics continue
from the three I showed you last
week…
Traffic Tactic #4 - Yahoo
Answers ‘Invisible Shadow’
You have probably heard of Yahoo
answers and getting traffic from
them. But there is a little
trick you can do to get indexed
on the first page of Google in
just few hours and stay there
for a long time.
Ok so what you do is first go to
yahoo answers and set up two
accounts, a main account and a
second, what I call ‘invisible
shadow’ account. Make sure you
use totally different user names
and passwords for each. What you
need to aim to do is to get each
of your accounts up to ‘Level 2’
on yahoo answers because when
you get there any links you post
will become clickable.
Basically, yahoo answers works
on a points system and to get to
level 2 you first need to build
up 250 points. The main points
you get are one hundred points
for signing up, one point for
signing in each day, two points
for answering a question (there
is a limit of twenty questions
you can answer per day), ten
points for being chosen as a
‘best’ answer and one point for
voting on
unresolved questions. And bear
in mind asking a question costs
you five points.
Anyway you’ll build up to 250
points very quickly in just a
few days. When both your main
and shadow accounts have reached
Level 2, you need to post a
question with your main account
that will generate a lot of
intrigue and interest.
IMPORTANT: Your question should
also contain the particular
keyword or keyword phrase you
are trying to rank for, for
example, “How do I potty train
my puppy?” When you ask your
question make sure you sound
sincere as if you really are a
puppy dog owner knee deep in dog
doo in your front room. Ask if
anyone has any advice.
Now, believe me, you will get a
truck load of answers. After
receiving just two answers, you
should then use your shadow
account to post an answer giving
a couple of tricks on how to
actually train a puppy and say
you know the best guide I ever
read on training my puppy was
“such and such guide”. This is
where you post the URL link to
your own web site where you are
actually selling that potty
training guide for puppies – if
that’s the kind of thing you’re
in to! Obviously, it can be
related to whatever it is you
are selling.
Then, and here’s the clever
part, after a few hours have
passed go back to your main
account and mark the answer from
your shadow account as your best
answer. Because Google ranks
yahoo answers very highly, now
every single person who visits
searches for your question or
keyword phrase on ‘how do I
train my puppy’, will see your
answer coming up first. If
you’ve followed what I said and
set this up correctly this will
open the flood gates to a river
of zero cost traffic to your web
site – and that’s the way we
like it.
This traffic tactic is fast,
simple and costs absolutely
nothing PLUS you can remain at
the top of the rankings for some
time during which time loads of
people will click on your link
and visit your web site. A no
cost traffic deluge, how cool is
that?! And once you’ve set it up
like this you can swap the roles
of your main and shadow account
and do the exact same process.
Then repeat later with other
questions or even other
accounts.
However, you must make sure you
do not over use this tactic
otherwise yahoo will penalise
you by removing your points (so
you won’t be able to include
links), or, if they smell a rat,
in the worst case, they’ll kick
you out. To make sure this
doesn’t happen, after using this
tactic, use both your yahoo
accounts to answer at least
another five questions genuinely
without any outgoing links – you
only need post short helpful
answers but this will help
maintain your credibility.
Traffic Tactic #5 – The ‘Links’
Effect
Now, I’m not talking about using
deodorant to attract cute young
ladies or prevent underarm body
odour here. I’m talking about
the effect of getting niche list
owners to spread your web site
links all over the internet for
nothing. This, in turn, will
generate you yet another fr.e’e
traffic source. And it’s very
simple to do.
If your can provide quality
content - content that can help
people out – you can generate a
fortune. The reason is because
there are many thousands of
affiliates and online marketers
out there who are so busy trying
to make a quick buck that they
often don’t have time, or more
likely can’t be bothered, to
write their own quality content.
There are literally loads of
these people who just flit from
one new product or project to
the next and these are exactly
who you can target. What you do
is simply shoot them an email
and offer to provide their
weekly newsletter content or
give them a free ebook to give
to their list. In return you ask
them to include your link in
when they send out any content
you provided.
How to you get the content?
Simple. Visit article
directories like
ezinearticles.com or
goarticles.com, type in your
niche key words, grab a few
articles and re-write them in
your own words. Don’t just copy
them, you’ll get caught out.
Rewrite them as newsletters or
group them together and rewrite
as a short ebook or report.
You could add in extra content
by doing a quick search on
Google and seeing what comes up
– you’ll find loads of stuff.
You don’t need to be Shakespeare
– far from it in fact – and so
long as you don’t produce
complete rubbish web site owners
will bite your hand off as
they’re lazy and you’re offering
them something for nothing
effectively.
Make sure you include your link
and this should link back to a
squeeze page of yours (NOT a
sales page as that will scare
people off). Here you offer
people an irresistible freebie
in exchange for their email
addresses. Bosh! More free
traffic for you for as long as
you’re happy to help out the
lazy web site owners.
Next week I’m going to show you
some cool tricks you can use to
set up a killer squeeze page,
which, when combined with
stealth super-blogging, you can
use to generate five figure pay
days on demand.
Until then stuff yourself with
Christmas cheer and beer!
