So lately I have been working closely with a News Media site which is just about to launch in 2 weeks.

I have been contracted to work with their marketing team so we can drive massive amounts of traffic to their website during the launch period and there after.

Because they are trying to build a “proper brand” it is my job to keep the marketing of the site as “white hat” as possible.

I have been doing research for the past 3 weeks on how the most successful media websites drive traffic to their stories and site.

So how do they drive their traffic?

- Type in traffic
- Google news
- RSS feeds
- Favorites
- Google type in traffic
- Twitter
- Email News letters
- Digg
- Mixx
- Reddit
- Other social bookmarking sites
- Link backs from authority blogs
- Google ad words
- Yahoo SEM
- Widgets
- Mobile

The new thing which seems to work really well is the twitter effect. If there is breaking news the media websites link their stories from their twitter account and this would drive a lot of traffic to that specific article.

The next thing which works well is the Google news. This has been around for a while and it drives up to 40% of traffic for some websites.

The other good idea is to link your top stories from Google ad words which a small budget. $100 could drive up to 2000 unique visitors to your site. In return you would hope they browse other stories and sign up as members etc.

Widgets have been gaining a lot of momentum as well in the past year. Building a widget with the RSS feeds in showing the top story definitely works. It will require the right audience for it though or you will need to market it to your audience in the right way.

Social book marking effect is another awesome way to get drive large amounts of traffic to media sites. If you have the right content which is “News” or technology related this could bring in a lot of long term traffic.

I will update this article as I learn more from my experience. I am also working design structures for the sites to see which keeps the users for longer and what kind of things they click on after reading a story.

Are you trying to increase your websites or blogs pagerank? If the answer is yes, than I have a quick tip for all my readers.
A easy way to get a increase in pagerank is by adding more content to your blog or website daily. Why? Well according to one of the “google” guru’s he stated that google likes growing website and are credited by increase in pagerank. I am not talking a massive increase but between 1 and 2 higher pagerank. Now that 1 or 2 increase could mean difference between 0 or 2 in pagerank.
By having more content which is of course of good quality and high standards will get people linking to your website. Your readers will increase, your traffic will increase and your websites size will increase. So it all makes sense why google gives growing website an increase in PR.
More quality articles, more people linking to you and eventually that means a increase in your PR. I wrote around 3 articles per day for each blog.

* I have done two experiments on the theory above and the pageranks have increased from zero to two for both the websites.

Spicypage.com offers users to vote for your blog or website. Once you submit your blog on their site, the users have the opportunity to visit your blog and vote for your blog. This will bring more visitors to your blog and also make the users aware of your blog. Your page rankings should also increase as spicypage has a homepage PR of 5. I would recommend everyone to add your blog to spicypage.

What I need? If you have a blog, I need you to article a small article around 30-40 words aboout murps.info. I need you to keep a postive/ neutral tone to the post. Topic samples - “New market your blog site”, “Free information on how to market your post’s” or something similar. I will need you to have this post on your blog for at least 20 days.

What I have to offer you in return? I have several blogs with Page ranking of 1 or more. If you write an article about murps.info I will in return give you a link back from my Pr 2 blog or website. If you would like you could write me a small (max 100 words) post about your blog and I will post this on my Pr 1 blog ( will give link back and more visitors). I have about 50-60 visitors per day on these blogs.

So this is a win-win situation for most small and up coming bloggers.

Youtube has over a 100 million video’s viewed each week. That is a large amount. This is a good thing for the website owners and bloggers. Why?

I have and will recommend all my readers to make a short, but interesting video clip and upload it on Youtube. I would recommend you to add your website url at the beginning of the video and at the end of the video. Do not  have the url shown for more then 3 seconds or else the viewers will get annoyed with it and most probably change the video.
By doing this you are bound to get more hits and visitors on your website. This is GREAT!
Secondly when it comes to writing a description about your video, do not forget to add your blogs url in it. Why? this will give you one way back-links to your site and given the popularity of your video, it might come on the frontpage and this could earn you a lot of publicity and back links to your site if people embed your video on their site.
Thirdly always try and give few replies to the comments on the video and do not forget to add your url occasionally to the comments. Again this will give the back links to your site.
