5 Web Traffic Hacks For 2016

5 WEB TRAFFIC HACKS FOR 2016
1. Copy and paste comments into Youtube.

Maybe you've seen those decorative comments that say something like "Who's listening to this in ____" on Youtube. People love to post those under music videos. You can copy and paste those decorative comments into the comment section of any Youtube and it really stands out. After you've pasted the decorative comment you can edit the words to say whatever you'd like and even include a link back to your website.

2. Add animated Emoji's to your email subject lines.

We all know it's super important to send follow up emails to our leads but too often those follow up messages get deleted without getting the attention they deserve. This one simple hack let's you add an animated emoji to your subject and make it standout in a cluttered email box.

Granted, these animated emojis won't work with every email client but they'll work with Gmail. And Gmail is the most popular email client out there. Here's a link where you can get the unicode to add these little animated suckers to your email subject lines. Just copy and paste the one you want straight into your email composer subject line field. http://www.emailmarketingtipps.de/2015/05/11/animated-emojis-in-gmail-subject-lines-cheat-sheet/

3. Add italics and strikethrough to Youtube comments.

Just like in my first suggestion this is all about standing out when it comes to Youtube comments. I guess I'm big on Youtube because it's the second leading source of referral traffic online to Google.

To make a Youtube comment in bold put an * at the beginning and end of the words you want to appear in bold. To make a comment italic put an _ at the beginning and end. To make a comment have a strikethrough put a - at the beginning and end. This is a great way to make your comment pop and if you put a link in that comment, you know they're going to click.

4. Buy popular Instagram accounts and start posting to them.

Instagram has become one of the most popular apps and social networks. With so many eyeballs on Instagram every day it only makes sense a market has emerged for selling accounts. There are several websites dedicated to connecting buyers and sellers. Once you've acquired an Instagram account you can then post and message to the followers. Sending them directly to your website and increasing your website traffic.

5. Provide helpful answers on Quora.

Quora is a question and answer site that has continually risen in popularity over the years. One of the reasons Quora has been successful is the quality of answers you receive to questions you've posted on their site. By participating in the conversation you can build a up a reputation and occasionally share a little bit about your business, directing traffic back to your site.
