3 Hidden Traffic Tactics

**Kim Roach** · 09-22-2008 09:35 PM

If you're like me, then you've probably heard all about article
marketing, SEO, video marketing, social bookmarking, press
releases, blogging, etc...

They are the cornerstones of Internet Marketing. And they work.
But sometimes don't you just want to read about something new.
I know I do. In fact, every time I discover a new traffic
technique, it's like opening a shiny new present on Christmas
morning.

And I'm hoping I can give you that feeling with this article,
because I'm about to reveal 3 traffic methods that you may not
have heard of yet.

1. Download Sites - You can get thousands of visitors with
download sites, even if you've never programmed a day in your
life.

Here's what I do. I take my articles and turn them into EXE
files. This allows me to submit my article to hundreds of
software directories, sending me hundreds of one-way links
and visitors.

Now, here's a quick tip on how you can use this technique to
build your subscriber list quickly. Require people to register
for your software (in this case your ebook is considered software)
before they are able to read your ebook. This allows you to grow
your list quickly simply by recycling your articles and turning
them into EXE files.

You can turn your articles into EXE files using some free
software called WebSiteZip Packer. This software will allow you
to turn an HTML page into a solid executable file (.exe) with an
integrated HTML browser.

Quick Tip: This is an excellent way to get hundreds of one-way
backlinks by using those PLR articles you have laying around.
Since you're converting the articles into software, you don't
have to worry about duplicate content. Just one of your plr
articles can now generate you 100's of one-way backlinks by
converting it into software and submitting it to all the
different software directories.

Here's a list of some of the top download sites you can submit
to...

Download.com
Tucows.com
Versiontracker.com
Jumbo.com
freedownloadcenter.com
regnow.com
regsoft.com
5star-shareware.com
shareit.com
topshareware.com
passtheshareware.com
sharewarejunkies.com
softpedia.com
shareware.com

Plus, Google loves these authority sites, especially Download.com.
I've found many of my software titles ranking on the front page
of Google with these high-authority download sites.

2. Get your articles into Google News. Google News has become
very popular in the past couple years and can send you a ton of
traffic. To get your article into Google news, all you have to
do is get published on one of the many sites that is syndicated
by Google News.

I personally use the American Chronicle. You can sign up for an
author's account and start submitting articles. Once your
article is published, it will be listed on 20 sites owned by
the American Chronicle as well as Google News.

This strategy can send you a lot of traffic, especially if you
use the right keywords.

3. Webwire.com. I have saved the best for last...

Webwire.com is a hidden gem that I have been using to rank on
the front page of Google within 24 hours.

Here's a quick overview of how I am able to capture front page
rankings...

First, I title my press release with the keyword phrase that I
want to rank for. I have found that keyword phrases with a
competition of less than 30,000 (in quotes) in Google rank
really well.

I then make sure to include the phrase and variations in the
first and last paragraph. Sprinkle it in but don't go hog wild.

This simple formula has landed me multiple front page rankings
and thousands of visitors.
