Insights

A referral is a person who tells another person about something great.

  • “Hey, this is a great service!”
  • “I love this product.
  • “I had to deal with the same problem as you. This is the method I used, and it worked great.

This is the language of a true referral and has a much greater impact on buyer behavior than referral traffic. Referral traffic typically refers to traffic that comes from other websites, as opposed to traffic from Google, Bing, or other search engines.

Referral traffic is a great source of income and there are many ways to increase it. Some are easy, while others require a lot of work. There is a lesser-known way to get a referral that will give you the best chance of getting a genuine, high-quality customer, subscriber, or follower.

Method 1 – Create guest posts

Referral traffic can be generated online by guest posting. These proven guidelines will help you build brand authority and SEO for your website, and increase referral traffic.

  • Deliver value. Write about what people want — answers to their questions, solutions, and tutorials.
  • Make sure it is visible. Let people know that you wrote the article. Links to your website are encouraged. Mention your business name or the name of the company, whichever is most valuable.
  • Find the best websites. Guest posts should be written for websites that are related to your niche and have a high readership and traffic.

The greatest challenge is how long it takes to do it right. It is necessary to contact sites, pitch your idea, wait for a response, and then endure silence (or rejection). It is possible to build a strong relationship with another site, only for your contact person to leave the company.

Although guest posting is possible, it requires persistence and a lot of effort. Your site will receive more quality traffic if you are successful at guest posting. You’ll see a rise in referral traffic if you keep at it long enough. This will be a boon for your bottom line.

Method 2 – Become an authority in your area or niche.

It is a priceless and lasting asset to be known as an expert. Because they trust you and your ability to deliver on your promises, people will search for your website. Even if your prices are higher, they will choose to buy from you.

How do you become an authority?

Contribute to your local community if you want to be an authority. Sponsor local events, make public appearances, and run ads. Make the effort to speak in person to relevant and high-value audiences within your niche.

Do the same thing, but at a national level, to establish niche authority. You can either write a book or partner up with businesses that provide complementary services to the same audience.

This takes commitment and time. It won’t pay off right away, just like guest posting. This is the best way to move beyond the price and differentiate your business from others. But it is worth it.

Method 3 – Comment on other blogs

This is about reaching an audience on another site, delivering value, and becoming a trusted source for practical, problem-solving advice. It’s about building credibility and a good reputation.

Use links, or, if your blog does not allow it, your business name or name to refer to your site. Do not comment as guest4356

Time is the problem, again. It is important to search for the right blogs and to read every article. Next, find something useful and valuable that you can add to the discussion. However, this doesn’t mean that you should be promoting yourself as a shill.

Although the benefits may take some time to manifest, strategy can be a good investment if you are willing to work hard for it.

Method 4 – Get listed on review and listing websites

This strategy requires less effort than the other five. Review and listing sites include popular platforms such as Yelp, but also lesser-known platforms with strong authority in your industry. This could be Home Advisor for contractors and home experts. Not sure if yours is? See the top-ranking sites in your industry. These directories can be useful for SEO purposes and increase your authority in your niche.

These sites are easy to get listed on, but they do charge fees. These sites also require you to be careful about managing your reputation. React calmly and reassuringly to negative reviews so others can see you are a good customer service provider and address any issues.

Method 5 – Write a Quora post

A Quora post is a great way of increasing referral traffic. It’s similar to publishing a guest post on a blog, but without having to find permission from other sites. Create a Quora topic that addresses a specific problem in your niche.

Quora posts are often hyper-specific. You’re only solving one problem at a time. You will need to have a lot of posts to generate enough traffic to make it worthwhile. Once you start posting a lot, your audience will be small.

Method 6 – The path to high-value referral traffic

These five methods work well. If you have the resources and time, you can pursue more. This means that people will come to your site from recommendations made by trusted people.

Here are some uses for it:

  1. Promote products and services by creating coupons or special discounts
  2. Create coupons using buttons and links.
  3. These buttons and links can be sent to your top customers by email or social media.
  4. Ask them to send coupons to their contacts.
  5. Wait for new sales.
  6. You can track your coupon usage rates to determine your return on investment (ROI).

Because it solves the problem with motivation, the Coupon Referral Program works. Why should they give coupons to colleagues and friends? What are the benefits for them? Referrer gets a coupon for each friend or contact who makes a purchase. This means that you create two sets of coupons: one for the referral program’s new customers and one for your current customers.

  • What is the maximum number of times coupons can be used?
  • You must redeem as many coupons as possible before you can get your reward.
  • How many coupons can the referrer receive?
  • The size, color, and text of the buttons.
  • There’s so much more!

You can offer discounts to existing customers if you have a subscription-based service.

To set up your program you will need to do some configuration. Here’s a helpful document that guides you through the process.

Once your coupon referral reward program is ready, you can promote it to your customers via email and social media. Contrary to other methods of increasing referral traffic, this method doesn’t require you to obtain permission from websites, create new accounts, and services or manage reviews. It’s easy to use and promote. It works like a revenue tap — the longer it is left on, the more people will use it.

Because they will receive discounts from companies they like, your best customers will love your coupon reward program. It will bring in new customers that you might not have reached otherwise.

Are you willing to increase your referral traffic from visitors who are likely to purchase from your site?
