There’s another little known yet potentially powerful way to generate traffic to your site or blog that won’t cost you a dime. In fact it could even earn you a free ebook if you get lucky!

What is this rather cheeky way of generating traffic?

Give a testimonial to a marketer who is just about to launch a new product.

How do you do that?

Well, it can be hit and miss, but you need to be a member of a top internet marketing forum - Warriors is about the best for this, but you can sometimes pick things up in WhyDoWork and WHAM. Whenever a marketer is about to launch a new product, they will often create a pre-launch buzz by posting in forums about it - notably Warriors.

Sometimes, they ask for volunteers to provide testimonials. Sometimes the incentive can be a free copy of the product to review first, sometimes, if it is a top marketer, it’ll just be a chance to get your name on their sales page with a link back to your site.

But that’s the thong you’re after. The link back to your site.

Not only do you get your name up there in lights, enhancing your own self-branding promotion as an expert in your field, but you get a one-way backlink to your site. If the marketer is one of the top people, then that site will get a huge number of hits, which could result in a lot of traffic to your site as a spin-off. There is also the possibility that the sales page will achieve a reasonable page rank resulting in a more weighted back-link for you.

So give it a try, you might get lucky, you might not but it’s worth the effort for the rewards could be immense!
