Most of websites add blogs to their site so as to get more traffic and links by providing fresh content. But if you don’t have time to do this or you don’t think that it’s enough, offering other forms of additional content may be a good choice. Here we suggest some forms:
Offer free tutorials on whatever your site is about. Instead of posting tips on your blog, you can offer an in-depth resource to consolidate everything. Besides, you can offer interactive tutorials to visitors.
You don’t have to offer the most brilliant tool or service, but make sure it must be useful or at least easy to remember. Or you can offer free email subscriptions which should also have something useful.
Providing a cute game will give you more regular visitors and more links. You don’t have to offer a graphic rich game. Offer this kind of game which is a combination of fun, learning and a very specific purpose. You can get people’s attention even with a simple game. Just find a way to make it work.
Hold a contest and give away some real prizes. People always love it. You can give away discount coupons, gift certificates, free subscriptions and many other kinds of prizes. Actually it is the prizes that help you get what you want. If you want the contest to provide something useful, encourage people to do submission themselves. But make sure the prizes must be really good and worth their effort.
Try these techniques and get lots of more links or traffic to your own site. But remember, you should insist on updating your website or blog with fresh contents first.
