The reason i titled it this way is that promotion for this in the standard web site promotion realm isn't what i need. I do a syndicated radio show that is also available on our website, www.midweekpolitics.com, and my goal is to get more visitors to the site that will actually download and listen to the show. I'm interested in ideas you may have, as simply driving traffic isn't enough, since i need traffic that will click through and download and listen to a radio show.
I notice on lots of radio station websites they have forums, they might let you post there? Might drive a lil more traffic to your site?
Three words - One click streaming. When I hit the homepage of your site, I want to be able to press a single button and immediately start listening to the latest edition of the radio show. As it is now, I have to a) find a link to the latest page, b) find a link to download the show, c) download it, d) listen. There is lots of Flash based software that will stream an MP3 straight to the user - I can't remember any at the moment, but Google will show you. Offer a download as a secondary feature.
Interesting, so are you suggesting that the show begins playing immediately when someone pulls up the frontpage?
You know if you had a link that the visitor would click and the media would start streaming without downloading the pls file and then later playing. even though it is good in some condition both the options should be there. I really admire this radio site maybe you should visit and take some idea from there: http://www.htzfm.com/
can anyone give me specific info on the easiest way to set up the instant and/or one-click streaming?
Have you tried submitting your feed on shoutcast.com? I used to fool around with a radio station and if you use the right keywords, people will find your broadcast. Good Luck
