How to Get Viral Traffic For Your Blog With a WidgetHow to Get Viral Traffic For Your Blog With a Widget Up to now, many new bloggers seeking quick traffic solutions to help their blog gain traction while building content and getting spidered have resorted to traffic exchanges and click for credit sites which predominantly cater to affiliate marketers. In cases when blogs do show up on these sites, they seem out of place unless the actual theme of the blog has to do with Internet marketing. I've seen everything from musicians trying to sell their CDs or MP3s to blogs about pet squirrels. Traffic to sites like these on traffic exchanges and the like is more often than not misguided. Then there are sites like ViralURL and MyViralSurfer. Along with member mailers and banner credits, sites like these encourage you to use their links to point to your website. Doing so puts an advertisement bar on your site with links to other members' sites. The more traffic you get organically the more traffic you potentially get virally as your links are shown on other sites throughout their network. These are very effective traffic generators, especially at the upgraded level, but for the blogger not directly involved in affiliate or Internet marketing, the traffic may not be worth the time and expense. Like everything else, you will have to test for yourself. Along these lines but with an entirely new viral twist, a 23 year old Internet consultant by the name of Darren Olander developed a free viral widget for bloggers called ViralNugget which also has a list building component. In exchange for putting the viral widget on your blog, you can have a link back to your blog or any webpage shown throughout the network. The ads in the widget look very much like a Google adsense ad. After installing this code on your blog, you go back to the members area where you can set up an advert highlighting your blog or webpage. The ads circulate throughout the ever growing membership network and interested participants click on your links, which is higher quality targeted traffic as opposed to forced traffic from other viral sites. In addition, your ViralNugget ID is embedded in your widget so that when a reader would like one on their blog, you get credit and more traffic back to your blog.
