Triond: Which are the Best Traffic Sources

Getting traffic and page views is the most important step to be successful. Traffic sources are not all equal or the same and you need to know which ones are able to send you the most traffic.

Most of your Triond traffic will come from the Hot Content Section. You can get more than 30.000 visitors per day if one of your pages manage to hit this place. The Hot Content section will be available on the main page as well as on all those Facebook profiles that install Triond application in their Facebook accounts and choose to display Hot Content on their profiles.

The second most important source of traffic is the Triond network. Your articles will show up every time somebody searches for a keyword included in your content or tags. Your articles will show up as well when somebody reads your article and clicks on your name to see what else you wrote, so if you write good articles, people will want to read more from you and will click on your name.

The third most important traffic deliver website is Stumble Upon. With just one click you can get your article in a network which already has more than 6 million people eager to hear from you. Most of the times you will never get more than 1000 visitors but it all depends on the quality of your content. To increase the number of visitors you get with Stumble Upon make 200 friends (the max number allowed) specially with the top Stumblers and join all the groups you are allowed as well. This way you ensure that your article will be seen by the maximum number of people allowed by Stumble Upon. Upload a nice photo to your account to make people want to click on you. Avoid celebrity photos such as Angelina Jolie photos. People are sick of fakes. Just upload a good photo of you or of your favorite cartoon character. Avoid to Stumble websites from people you don't know. This way you make more room and attention for your pages as well as your friends'.

The forth most important traffic source is Google. This should by in first place but as you can imagine not every one is able to make an article that shows up right in the first place on the Google results. Most of the times your Title keywords will rank in the first page, that is in the best 10 results, so make sure you write important keywords on the title. Google says you should focus on the user to get better results. Since Google Page Rank algorithm ranks the pages based in the importance of the incoming links those pages have, you should make very important articles to get very important links. The information source only has value if important people and other sources or entities trust that source. Making sure people trust your content is half of the way to your success.

The fifth most important traffic source is Yahoo. Altough is has less than the traffic Google has, Triond article seem to rank very high on Yahoo. The advice you need here is already above.

Digg is the next one. I don't get how this system works and I never manage to get much diggs to my content so go ahead and get information to rank high on Digg somewhere else.

Mixx, Del.icio.us, Technorati and Newsvine are other minor networks that will deliver very little traffic so don't waste much time with them. Instead you can write another article, publish it and submit it to major networks.

To ensure you have a link in every place you visit have your Triond profile URL ready to be pasted on Forums, Blogs, Directories, and much more. You can't imagine how useful it is to rank higher on Google.

The deep web or the web search engines can't index is many times bigger than the web everyone knows. The deep web are the websites that don't allow to be indexed and websites that require a login and password to access. If you have an account on such websites place your Profile URL in them if you are allowed to. Good examples where you can place your links are social networks such hi5 and myspace, websites you must register to have access such as webhosting for example, forums, and much more.

Google is unable to search the deep web just like any other search engine. The deep web has more and more users every single day. If you noticed there are more and more websites that to have full access to their content you need to login and after you login no search engine can have access to that information and content. This is where you have to take your best shot. Place links in other people content as a comment but make sure the comment is worth reading or you risk being banned as a spammer, place links right after your content and even in your profile if you have one inside that website.

Awesome information. Thank you for sharing.
But, I'm sure the question for most of us, is HOW do you get in the HOT CONTENT section?

Redburn, you are the man on sources! I'm with Peter's comment. Gotta go now, am writing that Big One!
#9 by Redburn, Oct 13, 2008
To get in the Hot Content you must have a very good article. Triond's algorithm will then decide if it's worth to show up in the Hot Content section.
#10 by Joe Poniatowski, Oct 13, 2008
Good advice, but I disagree on one point - you *should* stumble other people's content to have more influence within the stumble community. At least, that's my take on it. Anyway, thanks for all the other advice!
#11 by Redburn, Oct 13, 2008
Don't get me wrong. I do stumble other people content as you can see in my personal stumble URL. The only problem is you will have more websites competing for the same attention. Anyway, you are right, from now on I will stumble even more.

Thanks for your comment,

Pedro

Hey Redburn,
You are my HERO. I was getting disappointed with the low earnings $0.04 as of now. Your article inspired me not to give up and also gave me new ideas. Keep up the good work!!!!

For those of you who have blogs, you can include your Triond Feed there. Also when you write a blog post, why not link to some of your related Triond articles?

You can also include Links to your Triond articles on the side of your blog in your link list.

Great advice. There is so much more to consider than just writing an interesting piece. Promotion is key.
