By Steve Shaw

Are you sometimes surprised or amazed on how a high traffic website drive lots of traffic to their website? Others pay huge sums of money to get traffic to their site, others use advertising campaigns and a variety of marketing approaches.

There is no need for you to spend big bucks to drive traffic to your site. There are lots of ways to create website traffic without even touching your own money. One way is through viral marketing.

Viral marketing has an array of possibilities and ways to achieve your overall goals. However, just like everything else, preplanning and the right setup to create success are the things you will need to make it work for you and your e-business.

The first thing you want to be sure you don't do is get over-zealous. The one thing you need to avoid at all costs is spamming. Spamming is still used widely, but with the government establishing more restrictions and fines you don't want this to be a problem for you. The professional image of your site will also suffer if you send mail blatantly.

Spammers use a certain database. This database contains all the email addresses of different people. These make the life of a spammer easier, because in just one click on their mouse, they can deliver thousands of messages in a span of an hour. However, the problem with it beside from the government restrictions and fines, is it tends to annoy the recipient of the email which results to the deletion of your mail to their inbox, instead of referring it to other people.

See to it that your website is appealing to your customers. Make them feel so important, safe and cared for, each time they visit your site. Don't forget to put your email address on it, since this is your way to communicate with them and vice versa.

The best way to get email permission in a proper manner is to let your customer aware that you will not pass on their email addresses to other people since they are very meticulous when it comes to their personal information. You can also add some benefits that in order for them to claim it, there is a require email were you will send some instruction on how they can get it.

As an example: This discounts or coupons are available to those people who will receive an email notification from us. In every email that you send, the viral marketing effect starts.
