What Is Redirect Traffic Good for?
A Great Way to Get Videos to the Top of Their Respective Search Engines
When you are launching a social media campaign, this kind of traffic into a YouTube video sitting on your blog will get views.
Views in social media are votes.
If you design your landing page around catering to this kind of traffic.
If the page is asking visitors to vote the video up or down.
If the video itself includes a call to action like “please leave a comment”, then of 10,000 redirect visitors you are going to find plenty who will engage with a good video, especially if the video is made of all the right ingredients.
Visitors are not being asked to give up their anonymity and many will stop and watch a video, which will go a long way towards getting a video ranking at the top of both YouTube and Google’s search engine.
Especially if a lot of visitors are streaming in over the first few days the video is published.
The Same Principles Can Be Applied to All Social Media Content
The very same principle can be applied to a Facebook fan page or a Twitter channel. Blogs where the content is of mass appeal.
One hundred thousand visitors for a cost of $1000 is a fantastic way to get great blog content re-tweeted.
This may not build you an email subscriber list but it will build you Facebook fan, RSS subscriber and or a Twitter follow list.
Volumes of traffic into a web property is the only way to get your domain's Alexa ranking down and any web master knows the value of having a low Alexa ranking.
It's also a major influence in Google's quality score.
Sure, Google's quality score is predominantly about quality back-links to a page along with the recency and relevance of a page's content.
What better way to prove both relevance and quality of back-links than having thousands of visitors landing on a page every day? Because redirect traffic is so cheap, you can buy a constant flow.
