Google+ Traffic Strategy

When Google+ first came on the scene, there was a lot of speculation as to whether it would actually take off or not. The fact is that it’s different than any other social network out there. Its unique features set it apart in multiple ways. The best part is that there are many Google+ users that are interested in your niche– that’s something you can count on.

Creating Rebrandable Reports

Have you ever wished you could just get other people to do your marketing for you and get a ton of traffic as a result? Well, that’s actually possible. You just have to give people a great reason to pass your content along. Rebrandable reports give them that reason.

You can write reports (or edit previous articles together in the form of a report) and allow people to put their own affiliate links in the report for your products, website, list, etc. People love having ready-made content they can just send out. They also love being able to get cash simply for sharing something they didn’t have to work hard to create. You’ve done that for them. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship.

The people who rebrand your report with their links don’t get to change your content or your branding, but they do get the chance to earn from your efforts. This gives them great incentive to post your report all over the web on file download sites like Scribd, email it to their list, offer it on their website, and so on.

On Facebook, you’re going to take advantage of creating pages, starting and joining groups, running Facebook ads, and more. Facebook allows you to be incredibly targeted and you can grow your following fairly rapidly if you have the right strategies.

Many people check in to Facebook several times per day. It’s definitely a site you need to pay attention to if you want to funnel a lot of traffic to your own properties.

Building Backlinks

3d LinksBuilding backlinks is a big part of ranking well in the search engines like Google. So, how do you build backlinks? It’s important to be creative and build your link profile over time.

You can’t just submit tons of articles to tons of different spammy article directories and expect to succeed. You can’t just spam blog comments and expect to zoom to the top of Google in no time. It takes some hard work, some smarts, and some patience.

The first thing I want you to know is that you should not be scared of building links. Yes, there are search engine optimization experts out there who will charge you a ton of money to make it happen. But, this really is a case of slow and steady wins the race. It is much better to have high quality, relevant back links then it is to pay for a high-priced package to have your link spammed all over the web.
