I’ve just come across a useful traffic strategy called “Parasite Hosting”. It’s actually something I’ve been doing for a while, but that term describes it well. The idea is you can piggyback the traffic from major sites and direct it to your own.

There are many, many sites you can be a parasite on. In fact, any site that will host your pages. Here’s some popular ones:

Wordpress
Blogger
Squidoo
Hubpages
Geocities
Typepad
GooglePages

…and hundreds more!

You may already have noticed how it works. Each of those sites have been ranked highly by Google, Alexa etc and can help you in a number of ways:

1. Linking to your own site from them to increase your pagerank. These backlinks are from authority sites.

2. Direct traffic from the users and fans of the services themselves.

3. The ability to create strong keyword-based pages on them, to help with organic SEO.

So if you create a hubpage, squidoo lense, Blogger blog, and Wordpress blog on your choosen subject, you can put content there and also link back to your own site.

For example, if your site has movie reviews, you can create sattelite sites on as many parasite hosts as you can find. Each of these will be a movie-related theme, and each of them will link to each other, and to your own site.

If done correctly Google won’t mind. Just as long as you provide real content for the end user.

I’ve just bought the rights to a couple of products than can help you find and utilise these sites for driving traffic to your own. The first is “Taking Advantage Of Parasite Hosting” which is a full guide to this strategy, along with 13 Videos illustrating and explaining the concept. This also contains details of the best hosts to use, what content to put on them, and how to utilise the traffic-building potential to it’s utmost.

The second is “Profiting After The Sale” - a great guide to increasing the income you can generate from each main sale you make.

I’ve also thrown in a free copy of the 5-Minute Traffic Tip, since it really is a pretty cool technique in it’s own right

All three for only $7 — and that’s with full Master Resale Rights!

You don’t need this guide. This post outlines the tactic, so you can you try it yourself. But having everything in front of you in a PDF and Video form will certainly help you understand how powerful this underrated technique is.

I came across this product today being promoted by quite a few marketers. It’s a report that details a neat way to get traffic, and it only costs $5.

This traffic technique involves using Squidoo and/or Hubpages to focus on your niche.

It’s not just creating a quick page, it’s how you list and promote that page that counts. And by using Google you can find exactly where your page should be posted for maximum traffic and pagerank.

You can send traffic to almost any page using the system, but it works best for detailed search terms. If your lens or hubpage is built around a affiliate program, perhaps a clickbank product, then you can expect sales as well as traffic!

Of course, you could also funnel this traffic through a lens or hubpage back to your own main site or blog, and gain extra visitors or subscribers that way.

This is a short, really simple technique and it’s refreshing in that it’s not full of fluff and filler.

$5 Traffic Method

The reason so many people are promoting this? It pays 100% Commissions!

Try this method if you need traffic, the kind of highly targeted traffic the search engines deliver. It’s simple to use and if you feel it’s of no use, and even though it’s only $5, you can have a full refund.

I’m experimenting with Squidoo. My first impressions are very favourable.

Squidoo lets you bulld “lenses” on almost any subject. Each lense takes the form of a list of modules, so for example you can have text modules, links, comments, voting, amazon feeds, ebay feeds, youtube videos… and much more.

I’ve already created two lenses - early days yet, but you can take a look to see how they work. And I’d very much appreciate it if you could rate them

How To Build An Email List

Some of the modules in these lenses are community enabled, so for example you can add your own tips, vote the links and tips up and down, or leave a comment.

While I wouldn’t use Squidoo as a main site it’s fun and powerful enough to create quick single-subject pages on whatever you fancy. You can earn from your lenses too, from the built in advertising, as well as add your own paying links.

Also, Squidoo lenses can have a good pagerank, so linking your own sites from your lenses has a beneficial effect on your own link rankings. That, and the direct traffic from the squidoo community makes this a great place to expand your website promotion strategies.

Like any site that offers freeform page creation tools I’ve come across many sub-standard pages that are little more than pasted in feeds and some youtube/amazon/links sections. It’s all too easy to do this. If you do decide to make your own lenses please add some real content. It only benefits everyone in the long term…
