How To Get An Extra 108,160 Hits A Year

Most of you have seen those little award graphics on
web sites. They are given to the web site by another
web site or award association to reward the web site
for a specific reason. They usually link right to the
site that has given the award.


These award sites are drawing tons of traffic to their
own web site. The reason is because all the web sites
who get the awards are linking right back to them by
posting the award on their web site.


What is stopping you from offering other awards to
other web sites? You could design a graphic for the
award. The graphic could include something that will
draw them to your web site. Have an online form at
your web site so other people can enter to qualify
for the award. You then judge all the entrees and
pick a winner. You give them the award graphic with
a link included. They post it on their web site and
now they're linking your web site.


You could offer web site awards for many reasons.
The web site might offer outstanding and original
content. The design of the web site could be very
professional. It could have a fast load time. It could
include original web features that aren't found on
most web sites. The site may be easy to navigate
through.


Let's say you give out 20 web site awards a week.
In a year that would be 1040 people linking to your
web site. If you received 2 hits a week from each
link, that would be 104 hits a year from each award
you have given. That equals an extra 108,160 hits to
your web site a year!

It would be advisable to make at least ten articles for your feed.

Save and Upload the file.
After creating your file, save your work as an XML, RSS, or an RDF file. Then you are now ready to upload it. Upload the file using your FTP program and place it on your web server. This process now makes the file readable by RSS news aggregators.

Validate the file.

You would just need to place the saved and uploaded RSS file for the program to test it against wrong and missed code and tags. It is essential for you to check your work of course. This way, you’re sure that what you have is readable and usable.

Create a directory.
Now that you have created the file, saved it, and made sure it works, you are ready to let other see it. The main purpose of an RSS feed is to broadcast it to all RSS enabled sites. So go ahead and look for a directory where you can place your feed. Some may require fees for uploading a directory. Some offer it for free. Scout around and round up all the free sites you can have and place it there. If you have some marketing budget, you might want to subscribe to sites that charge a minimal amount. Don’t forget to place an icon of your RSS feed on your website, too for those people who visits you directly.

Update regularly.
With RSS, you know that the feed changes automatically every time you change the main file. Don’t let your RSS feed sit there for a month without modifying it. Maintain it. Add new articles. The more exciting your topic is, the more people will check your feeds and visit your website.

Creating an RSS feed for Internet marketing is made very simple now a days. Even people who are not computer savvy can create RSS feeds, based on the steps provided above.
