Brand + Viral

One way to potentially create a lot of traffic to your site is with the use of viral traffic referral websites. The way these usually work is that you sign up under someone who referred you and then view their and other sites in the downline.

You then get a referral url to send traffic to and begin building a downline and traffic. The idea is that once you get enough people signed up they will refer others too and soon there will be thousands who view your website.

So will this kind of traffic work for your site? It definitely can depending on what kind of website you have. Basically this works best with lead generation pages. You probably won't have much luck using direct sales sites.

Even though the quality of traffic will be low using this method I think it's worth taking a look at for many. The more people you can get to see your site the better. The traffic your downline generates is all free traffic.

Another way of looking at it is that the people who see your site using this technique are also webmasters like you and if they like your site they just might link to it, or better yet signup.

Oh and one more thing, if you click on the heading of this post it will take you to a great website that allows you to do this. Better yet, once you register, you can upgrade for free to get $5 worth of banner ads equating to 15,000 impressions... Couldn't be a bad place to start!
