If you have been on the planet over the past week, you know that there is a major controversy in the USA that has created a media frenzy. The purpose of this writing is not to debate the morality issue, but I do want to highlight an interesting point about online traffic.
The controversy surrounding the Governor of New York and his paid “friend”, has fueled a massive search on the internet. When the “friend” was identified in the media, visitors began flocking to her free MySpace site to get more information on this person.
The traffic to her free MySpace site ended up shutting down the site. In ONE DAY her MySpace site had received over 5 million visitors. I’m sure the vast majority of visitors to the site are there out of sheer curiosity. The reality is, she is now using this controversy and turning her free MySpace site into a recruiting machine.
Regardless of what we may think of this women, the fact is – she is cunning enough to harness the traffic she is getting to her site into a major income. In the span of a couple days, this controversy created over 200,000 listeners to her music. Downloads were now selling for 98 cents each, and she had over a thousand friend requests in a single day. Imagine what would happen to your business if you had 1000 prospects request information about you or your business? The bottom-line is… this lady has had her income skyrocket as a result of the traffic that has flowed to her free site because of this national controversy.
While I certainly do not support or condone this type of behavior, I do think there is a lesson for online marketers who are trying to generate traffic volume. The simple fact is… [tag-tec]Controversy is an effective tool in generating massive amounts of traffic[/tag-tec].
For those who are interested in building a strong traffic flow, my suggestion would be to find topics that are “hot” in the media and do some writing. Think about ways you can perhaps write on controversial subjects. Share your own perspective on the subject, and perhaps stir the pot a little more. Controversy is a powerful tool in building a steady flow of traffic.
