The Social Arrow, born lucky.

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Some websites are just a hit right from the start and in the case of The Social Arrow they seem to have luck on their side.

Winning two website contests in as many months and hosting high quality sponsors this young website is heading in the right direction. A clean template with easy to follow posts keeps readers up to date with information on free offers, coupons and other contest and social media information from around the web.

There is room for improvement of the Wordpress theme, and for those hungry for a web 2.0 feel the graphics on the website are a little bland. Fans of the understated, clean blog will be at home at The Social Arrow especially for those wanting to learn more about and discuss the various social media options on the net.

With so many social networking sites out there it is easy to emerge oneself and get lost in the abyss of time wasting that comes with the social media territory, it is good to have The Social Arrow dedicated to sniffing out the best social media tactics to utilize on your own website saving you the time and hassle.

This month The Social Arrow also hosts the Social Media Marketing MEGA Contest which looks set to hand out some huge prizes (over 50,000EC & extras). The Affiliate Secret is proud to sponsor this contest and recommends you check it out and try your own luck in the Social Media Marketing MEGA Contest!

Boost your traffic for free

The more traffic the better right?

I was thinking the same thing when joining FreeViral who claim to provide One million hits! to your site. ‘Dr Evil’ from the movie ‘Austin powers’ only demanded One million dollars in return for world domination, so why not click on 7 other sites and signup to FreeViral for One million hits!.

It all sounds to good to be true as always with advertising these days, especially on the web. But i can see the potential in this, and after all it is free to try.

The secret to this working will be in your site design, your landing page must be visually attractive as the ‘one million’ hits you receive will be visiting to retrieve their FreeViral code (which is in a frame at the top of your users page). Basically you must attract the user long enough to make an impression in the small window before the FreeViral code loads and the user closes your page.

What good is that traffic if it doesn’t convert any sales?

That is the question here but at the very least the one mllion hits will convert a small percentage, the huge exposure may bring some users back for another look. If your webpage offers a relevant service to traffic building or site advertising FreeViral may be worth a try.

The Affiliate Secret will keep you posted on our results using the FreeViral traffic tool.
