How to get more free visitors to your mobile site

Thursday, May 5th, 2011

Hello, dear Mobtron.com sites owners.  Mobtron community is growing very fast, 200-300 mobile sites are created with Mobtron every day. Big part of those sites are very interesting and have good content.  And the only thing that they need …yeah, it’s more visitors.  So we decided to dedicate one blog post to share some ideas, how to get free visitors.

1 Step: make sure, that your site has interesting content. Update it constantly, because if your site be boring, nobody will stay in it for more than 1 day.

2 Step: Advertising exchange with other wap sites.  Try to find out partners with the same or bigger traffic and exchange links or banners. They are many ways how to find other wapmasters. For example you can do it in wapmasters forums like Coding-talk.com. Suggested term for ads exchange 1 week.  If results are good, you can prolong partnership. But if you do not get visitors from partner – remove his link and terminate cooperation.

3 Step: Free mobile ads exchange networks. They all work on very simple principle. You need to put ad code to your site and generate credits for every click.  Later you can spend those credits for advertising of your own site. We recommend to use more than one ads exchange network. There are many of them, some are real scam, so we recommend to use only those we’ve checked  by ourselves: Vivamob.net,  Hitcross.com, Adsalvo.com, Mobday.com. And do not forget – clicks exchange rate is not the most important criteria in choosing ads exchange network. Quality of those clicks is the most important factor.  It’s better to get 5 real loyal users, than 10 fake users.

4 Step: Introducing of your site in most popular mobile forums. Rule number 1: don’t spam. Nobody likes spammers. Find out topics,  somehow related with your site and make your posts  there.  For example, if you have music downloads sites, find forum  topics related with music. An post info about possibility to download for free one or another mobile song.

5 Step: Register in toplists and catalogs.  Many of them are “dead”, so please choose only those, who who have mane active registered users. Some good catalogs for you: Waptrack.net, Top.web.tr, Besttop.mobi.

Hope you will these ideas useful for your sites, created via Mobtron.

In next our blog post we will talk about next 5 Free traffic generating steps.

2.  Blogs help people find you more easily. Search engines like Google and Yahoo are particularly fond of blogs, due to the relatively small amount of information they carry, so they appear in site searches a lot quicker. This results in more people to your mobile website.
3.  You can make use of RSS feeds. These are great little tools, since they send out an email alert anytime you make an amendment to your blog.  Again, this will bring in more potential visitors to your site, especially if your RSS feed informs about some special updates or similar.
