Using Tell A Friend Script To Drive Traffic

Your website is finally starting to get a little traffic. The results are in and your visitors think your web site it great. You’re beaming with pride as you tell them, “Be sure to tell your friends.” Certainly a few of your visitors will tell a friend or two, but what about all the other visitors who love your site so much? Have you made it easy for them to share your site with others? Have you provided a real reason for visitors to take a minute from their busy day and tell a friend about your site? This post will share a few tips and techniques for getting site traffic to really snowball by enlisting an army of people to spread the word, an army made up from your current site visitors.

If you want your site visitors to tell their friends about you, you have to make it easy. Actually you can't just make it easy; you have to make it super easy. Tell-A-Friend scripts are one way to make that happen. These scripts are simple and do not require complicated programming. As a matter of fact you can usually copy and paste a script right onto the intended page. Tell-A-Friend scripts are available in many shapes and sizes, but you will be better off if you locate a script with the ability to subscribe people directly to your opt-in email list. A few other things to look for in a TAF script are the ability for full customization, sending to an unlimited number of target recipients, recognizing and blocking invalid email addresses, and one that provides detailed usage statistics.

If you are looking for a PHP or ASP based Tell-A-Friend script, you’ll start your search with http://www.hotscripts.com because this is a great source for both free and paid solutions. This website is very huge though.

So now that you’ve got all your ducks in a row and have installed the perfect tell-a-friend script, let me ask you an important question. Why should someone tell their friend about your web site? Maybe the answer is obvious to you, but is it obvious to your site visitors? Will they do it just because you asked them to? It’s likely your visitor isn’t thinking of the benefits your site might present for their friends, so it’s your job to tell them about it. I’m not suggesting you offer people some sort of bribe like a free ebook; you can do that if you want, but it probably isn’t necessary and might not attract the kind of traffic you really need. But you could simply say, “Tell your friends about our newsletter about XYZ because it is interesting” or “Tell someone about the ABC newsletter because it will save them time and money”.

If you make it easy for your visitors and give them a good reason, you might be surprised how quickly the word spreads about your site.
