    Hi,

    I am building a non-content site and I think I can get good traffic if I implement some viral marketing ways in my site. Few are "send this page to a friend" and a monthly "News letter". What other things can I implement in my site ?

    Thanks

    Maybe an incentive for those that refer new members / customers to your site :)

    Try to offer your users a way to invite their friends to join your website.
    But be smart. Give them rewards, bonuses for invitations sent, for number of visitors and encourage them to invite more and more friends. This will work.

    Discussion of viral marketing, especially in online marketing arena is never complete without the classical example of hotmail. Hotmail started free email service at the time when other companies were offering paid email services. With every email there was a simple tag at the bottom of every free message sent out: “Get your private, free email at http://www.hotmail.com”. Very soon the message spread like a wild fire. Hotmail just ignited the initial spark and the fire spread like a California forest fires.

    Viral marketing is a great strategy. If you want to market your product or service think if and how you can apply it to the product or services that you want to market. The idea will come like a spark. if your idea hits the right spark your job is done.

    the best way is to offer an incentive, make it worth their while.

    Tell others how are you better than other same service websites. It is a good way to promote your website virally.

    Hi guys i found many of you asking help to install ffmpeg in who won't support ffmpeg hosting in shared hosting.
    This is not possible, to install ffmpeg to need root folder access, In shared hosting they hosting provider won't give such access. Root access comes only in dedicated server or in some Virtual private server.

    If you can't offer dedicated server, then you canlook for shared hosting provider that support ffmpeg and video streaming.

    I have composed a list of ffmpeg web hosting providers and coupons to get discount check this out link in my signature.

    That was probably before my time, but I remember the "Do you Yahoo?" signatures at the end of emails
