Generating Traffic

Traffic trends have been constantly evolving. Just a few months ago, there are promising trends that have been adopted by webmasters who want to cope with the ever tightening competition in the market. However, there are some who, instead of setting up a fair and just competition, even resorted to tricks and scumbag maneuvers. Yes, you can get something from it but remember, you can only fool a client or a surfer once, you can never do that to them again.

Basically, banner exchange has ceased to be effective in getting traffic for a long time. This somehow ‘worn-out’ strategy along with other outdated schemes has been overshadowed by the new ones. There are quite a number of new ideas and marketing tactics which are expected to evolve and develop.

Current Trends

The following strategies below are the latest in obtaining traffic:

1. Daily Girl Diaries

   A more recent traffic trend has been introduced in the market. This trend is known in the market now as the daily girl diaries, proven to convert more traffics compared to other past strategies. A daily girl diary needs 6 primary elements so it could work effectively; and these are the following:

   · Traffic
   · Hotlinkable pictures and FHG links
   · Easy to remember domain
   · Mojo Mail
   · Daily blogs/stories
   · Referrer viral link

   Since we already laid down its 6 basic elements, the best thing to do now is to discuss the process. How daily girl diaries really work and increase a conversion ratio of site?

   First, you send a user to your main recruitment page. Once he/she is at the recruitment page, he/she will then sign up for daily diaries. Once he/she finished signing up, you now send a DOUBLE OPTION confirmation link with referrer viral link (this is in ALL emails sent out). The user will have a chance to choose twice. After that, a user will then receive hotlinked pictures and daily stories and other promising features that he/she could forward to his/her friends. And finally, a user will now click the FHGs.

   All (webpage-based) confirmation/result pages can redirect as well. However, the actual confirmation is done through email.

   The philosophy of daily girl diaries is very simple once you succeeded in convincing a willing traffic to complete the entire process (not taken baited with tricks or spams). This hit in is now capable attracting unlimited traffic from various channels.

2. Videos on P2P Networks

   Webmasters also developed a potent scheme designed to promote sites and attract traffic via encoded videos at P2P networks even with the latest version of WMP. What is new is the use of DRM and the use of the Bit Torrent software to distribute such videos. We must take note that promoting our sites via encoded videos at Kazaa, Grokster or Morpheus network got tougher and harder back then when WMPs had their URLs turned OFF as default.

   The procedure involved on this P2P posted videos are simple. First, you just have to encode the video into WMV format. Next, using your DRM editor (differing editors use differing processes), encode a REQUEST LICENSE function on your video.

   Set it to pop up a window to request the license. Embed another window (this usually is popup blocker proof because it’s a WINDOW request — be careful on how you code the target). The new window will be your sponsor’s site. Form a long keyword filled name for the file. Using Kazaa’s media tools, put keywords in the media description for your file.

   Run P2P software and share your files. The longer you share the wider the distribution since someone who took the video from you might be leeched from by other users.

   And lastly, run many differing types of P2P software that utilize differing networks. This maximizes your file and ensures a wider distribution. As of now, there is another variation of this P2P distribution model that does NOT use DRM. Our webmasters are still investigating this mode in line new security settings embodied in SP2.

3. Yahoo groups: Potent Traffic Source

   Yahoo groups is also a potent, albeit older, method for both webmasters and non-webmaster porn fans to create email distribution groups and share features. This service attracts traffic and is accessible within the same Yahoo infrastructure, so all featured lists are in one central location. There are just five simple procedures to follow:

   The first step is creating a yahoo ID. Your age must be above 18. Putting an adult picture is not recommended unless you want to mark your account as an adult profile.

   Then, you can now start building a new group. Here, you still need to fill up important details about your group. In order to maximize your chances of getting more list members, IMG SRC some graphics to your description page. Write catchy text that grabs the visitor’s attention as well.

   Next is finding lists of Adult Yahoo groups and join the groups with the following criterion: open membership, unmoderated, attachments permitted.

   After that, you can now go to your mail preferences and put your POP mail address as an alternate address where you can send list mail from.

   You need to ‘IMG SRC’ your pictures and paste them into an email composed in OUTLOOK or other HTML email clients.

   Open your address book and send mails to your mail groups. To speed up the process, after sending batch 1, go to your SENT folder and forward it to group 2 (remember to take out all text indicating the email is a forward).

   Remember, your marketing and advertisement schemes should not be too obvious. Always participate in group discussions even in non-yahoo message boards using Yahoo group signature link.

Nobody can say how long these methods will benefit the webmaster market. So far, for those who adopted these strategies, the results are quite promising. Let us just wait for new trends to evolve and offer us with other promising approach in traffic generation. However, before taking in new innovations and marketing strategies, always take note to follow the relevant site rules first so you won’t be sorry in the end.
