Vgs Visitors Grow Your Sites

Writen by Edward Charkow

I'm sure you have heard about Viral Marketing, but I bet you haven't considered how powerful some of those same strategies can be when you change it from getting others to advertise for you to getting others to GROW your website.

Instead of trying to think about how to have your sites be Viral – think about how you can have visitors "GROW" your website! If they can put in their own input and actually have some kind of result – or a page of their own they will pass it along.

Even if they don't pass it along, tell a friend, or do anything else they have added content to your website. That's something we all like to have right?

To really get a concept like this going you should pick a topic that people are fanatical about. I don't mean religion, politics, or any other potentially dangerous topic. I mean Sports, Hobbies, People, etc…

For my example of what you can do to get fanatics being fanatical on your site is http://www.golfwarz.com . This site isn't horribly busy because it's never been marketed. It's an example of a product called SEOclickbank by Scriptmonthly that has been slightly modified (just changed a few form fields). It will let golfers complain about their clubs. Something that I am sure golfers do privately. It probably will never catch on with the older golfing community but for the younger golfers it will be fun.

It's not a great example because most golfers really don't want to spend time talking about how bad they are. They want to get better, not 'brag' about their shortcomings. If you can get the younger crowd posting in there – a couple posts in a golfing related forum would probably get you some action – the content they add will be search engine fodder. Juice that site up with a golfing tips newsletter, and some golf related affiliate products and you have a long term GROWING income stream. The best part is it's hands free and you don't have to add the content yourself.

This same concept can be modified to thousands of topics. You could make a site to let people talk about their bosses, their cats, anything.

I've given you a lot of ideas today. I hope you spend some time growing your network of websites and you start considering some of the virtual growth strategies I've mentioned here. Once you get a virtual growth site off the ground like this – you can't go wrong.
