Use A "Tell A Friend" Script To Get Traffic

 

 

Webmasters are always asking how to increase the flow

of traffic to their websites. During the past few years

many methods have been developed and frankly, some work

and some do not.

 

One of the methods that have truly helped in driving

traffic to websites is viral marketing. This practice

makes use of the tendency of a person to share something

they find informative, entertaining or amazing.

 

Many companies bank on this behavior to spread their

products and increase the popularity of their company

or their website. Viral marketing makes use of many

mediums including using an interesting story, an

addicting game, an amusing video and many others

that may interest friends, family and colleagues.

 

This ingenious form of marketing is typically low cost

and is a wonderful tool for any company to utilize.

The benefit greatly overshadows the cost or efforts

to initialize this marketing scheme. Any website would

greatly benefit that viral marketing.

 

"Tell A Friend" Script

 

One of the easiest methods in viral marketing is using

a "Tell A Friend" script. This is a simple programming

script that you can paste into the html of your website.

Generally, "Tell A Friend" scripts are installed on a page

where a person can easily send the media to any of his

friends or family members.

 

The basic concept of  a "Tell A Friend" script is for your

referrer to input his name, e-mail address, the recipient’s

e-mail address and send the media to the intended recipient

much like an e-mail with an attachment. When the recipient

receives the e-mail he knows it is not spam as he would

see the sender’s name as someone he knows and trusts.

 

"Tell A Friend" script eliminates the chances of being

blocked because they use the information inputted by

the sender. This allows for wider spreading of this

marketing method.

 

With the e-mail would be a brief description of the

company or site that your sender was at. This allows

for the introduction of either the site, company name

or its products. These usually include another tell

a friend script.

 

Then the process begins again. As more people use the

"Tell A Friend" script, more and more people will know

of the existence of the sponsoring company or site.

People who read the ads inside the mail who like what

they see will click on the link and visit the site.

This drives traffic to the site resulting in a great

number of potential customers.

 

"Tell A Friend" Script Availability

 

A "Tell A Friend" script is very simple and does not require

a complicated method of programming. In fact, you can copy

& paste a script and simply put it on an intended page.

Finding one is even simpler. All you have to do is go to

a search engine and type in the search box “"Tell A Friend"

script” then press enter or click go.

 

In the search results page you will see many links that

will direct you to a site where you can get a tell a

friend script. It would just be a simple matter of

looking and searching for the script and copying it

to your intended web page.

 

With a "Tell A Friend" script viral marketing strategy

you can drive traffic to your site which could potentially

spell profits. This is a simple harmless script that

offers great benefits for low cost along with great

creativity and foresight.

 

It is necessary to have patience in using a "Tell A Friend"

script. If your chosen media doesn’t get the mileage that

is expected of it, it may take some time before it gets

spread or shared. But surely many people will see your

ads and there is great probability that they will visit

your site increasing your traffic flow.

 

If you do not like any of the free scripts you find,

I am offering the $67 list price "Tell A Friend Detonator

XL" for only SEVENTEEN bucks until I set up the sales page

for it. Paypal to jantd@charter.net with TAFD subject.

Resale rights included.

 

 

Finally, a comprehensive package that covers any traffic

generation source you can think of, all wrapped up into

one package! This is bar-none the best "all in one"

package you will ever come across for less than the

price of a decent dinner...for one!

Positive Quotes

 

A life without purpose is a languid, drifting thing;

Every day we ought to review our purpose, saying to

ourselves: This day let me make a sound beginning,

for what we have hitherto done is naught!

 

-- Thomas A. Kempis

 

and

 

If there is one thing upon this earth that mankind loves

and admires better than another, it is a brave man, --

it is the man who dares to look the devil in the face

and tell him he is a devil.

Hi Jan,

 

I'm following your roofing fund with interest.

Hope all is put back together again soon.

Hi Jan:

 

I was happy to help out - you made it easy.

It is a great package! I am a "newbie" to all of this,

but am working on learning as much as I can in order

to launch my own membership website in the next few

months.  Thanks so much for the great opportunity.

 

I hope things get better you soon,

>>  thanks, Lisa, I am so happy you were pleased with

the package. Since you are in the health type industry,

down the line, when I GET my health site redone

( jtdhealth.com ) if I may, I will let you know-

it is going to be full of health ebooks, reports,

tips and other items, most with private label,

master resell or resell rights.

 

Yes, thanks, the roofers are now *pencilled* in

for 2 days next week when we are supposed to have

some "sweltering" 50's! We have done good to see

25 degrees each day for the past two weeks and the

roll roofing would crack even if the helpers were

willing to freeze to do the work.

I have found a great web site if you like music

from 1952 through 1982. It is a fairly new site

and is really catching on with fans of music in

that time period. You may want to pass it on to

your friends after you check it out.

 

Hope all is well with you. Have a good weekend!

Ten Cost-Effective Strategies To Drive Targeted Traffic

To Your Niche by Shem Cruz

 

Driving traffic to one's website is definitely one of the

biggest concerns every website owner faces. And why not?

When you've built a website, no matter how beautiful the

graphics are, and no matter how keyword-rich and

informative your articles are, it will be useless

unless you have visitors over to your website.

 

Unless you are a marketer who easily earns $25,000 using

just one promotional email, spending on PPC advertising

is not an option to you. You'd definitely prefer traffic

tactics that cost little to nothing.

 

1. Submit reprint articles to as many places as you can.

We all know that article marketing is one of the many

free ways to gain traffic.

 

But to make sure your article marketing efforts are

successful, write informative articles with a captivating

title to get the webmasters' and ezine owners' attention.

Submit to article banks and forums with high traffic

because this is where most people visit. You should also

send your articles to ezine owners because it's easy to

reach your prospects this way.

 

2. Create a free ebook and submit it to as many places

as possible, like free ebook directories, giveaway events,

traffic exchange, and others. In what way can you gain

traffic from a free ebook? Simple. In your ebook tell

your readers to visit your website if they want to learn

more on the topic you've written in your free ebook.

 

3. Create useful posts and tag them on Digg. There are

thousands of readers waiting for useful, informative,

and sometimes controversial topics which will be popular

and viral over time, leading to numerous trackbacks and

visits from people all over the world. If your post is

really popular, it might be even featured on its homepage.

 

So where can you get useful and controversial posts to

start with? For one you can start looking for news in your

industry. Lurk in forums to see the most popular topics

people are talking about. Teach people how to do something.

I'm sure you will find something to post about if you

look everywhere.

 

4. Use Digg and Technorati to find the most popular blogs

relating to your industry and post useful comments with a

link back to your site. When you post a useful comment on

others' blogs, people who scroll down to read other

people's comments will find your link and will likely

visit your site because it's related to their interests.

 

5. Create a free gift and reward your visitors with an

additional gift if they tell their friends to sign up

on your site using your tell-a-friend script. To make

sure they will want to sign up, create an exclusive gift

like a report not found anywhere else, and brand it with

a professional ecover.

 

6. Do a joint venture with your fellow ezine owners by ad

swapping, recommending each other's websites, and so forth.

 

7. Use Ebay's About Me page. How? Sell an ebook, and on

your product description entice your visitors to visit

your About Me page for more tips concerning their

interest, and on your About Me page recommend your

websites.

 

8. Create free stuff (like postcards, wallpapers, etc.)

and list them on high traffic freebie sites.

 

9. Make a Squidoo page using low-targeted keyphrases,

and from Squidoo page link back to your website and

all the free gifts you offer.

 

10. Create a product with Master Resell or Giveaway Rights,

which can be a report you've written or a video tutorial

teaching how to do something. Link back to your website

using the product's thank you page, by making a .pdf file

stating its usage restrictions, or a Read Me file. This

way people who receive it from MRR sites, auctions,

giveaways and other places will visit your website

for years to come.

 

Driving targeted traffic is a popular concern which does

not need to be costly if you devote extra time everyday

to it. The key is to always use different strategies,

learn from other people, and track your results.
