Watch Viral Marketing In Action Using Articles

There are several ways you can squeeze every last bit of traffic using traffic exchange in conjuction with articles.

The other day while I was surfing various traffic exchange sites, I saw this article database site.
http://www.gotneededinfo.com/index.php

If you scroll down the middle of the page, you will see couple of my articles being featured under different categories including ' Article Marketing'.

How is it viral?

You see, each time that page is being advertised in various traffic exchange sites, my articles and my name is being branded, without me having to surf any pages. Granted that only one or two people that owns the program are promoting that site, instead of affiliates but still, I'm getting free exposure. If more and more people like me who are providing word of mouth advertising for that article directory sites, my article will have more exposures where anyone can distribute my article with my signature lines attached.

It doesn't stop there !

Have you been to http://www.articlealley.com lately?

That directory site gets tons of traffic from search engines. Try it, Google ' article directory' and you will see Articlealley.com on the first page, so as Isnare.com and Goarticles.com

Did you notice those articles being featured under different categories? your article could be there next and if it does, you'll get a boat load of free traffic. That's not mentioning that hundreds of ezine publishers goes to those sites like Articlealley.com and search for various niche articles just waiting to be published in their newsletter.

Now you know why I love viral marketing so much.

If you are still looking for articles you can re-edit and publish, visit the following websites.

Clever Ways To Get More Traffic

For years I've been told that giving testimonial can do wonders for bringing quality traffic to your site but I just didn't listen so this year I made it my goal to have at least one of my honest testimonial published online whether it's for a brand new ebook or traffic exchanges or other products and services.

Eeeureka !!!

I owe a huge thank you to the owner of Maxtrafficpro.com William Brant for posting my testimonial on the main page of his traffic exchange. When I saw his website for the first, it caught my attention, almost slapped me in the face. So I decided to sign up, surfed for an hour or so and but then I got bored so I got out my Paypal wallet and bought some traffic, 1,000 hits for $10 bucks. I createda splash page http://www.paulpenafiel.com/125plr.htm where members can download free PLR articles.

The next day, I noticed an email in my inbox that said ' You've made a sale'. It was my first commission for this affiliate program http://www.cachearticles.com/?go=197
Wow!, I was so happy when I saw that. When I visited the Maxtrafficpro.com forum, William asked the members if they can give him testimonials, I didn't hesitate, it was the least I can do for him.

The other reason why testimonials can be so powerful is because it's viral. Imagine this, 50 people are promoting MTP all over the net, with my name and link to my blog plastered on the front page , some people will click on that link (the link is clickable) because they are curious who is this Paul guy? You see, my name and my link is being exposed every single day to members and non members.

The next time there's a new program out, test it and then give your honest testimonial and traffic will start pouring in.

Don't give up, just keep trying and you will succeed.
