So I have a site that I made on a domain that had nothing going for. No links, no traffic, no website even developed on it. I really liked the name so I wanted to build up a simple site with a good amount of content to start. I wanted to let it age and get some traffic before I really started developing it. I had an idea to get some easy traffic that turned in some amazing results. I have a video on youtube that receives around 20k in traffic a week. So what I did was add an annotation in video that tells you to click on the link for more info. I wrote an article that was completely relevant to the video so youtube has no reason to remove it. As of right now in the past 2 weeks I have received about 3,500 hits and seen my site website go from unranked in alexa to now around 8,000,000. Now I know that this isn't quality traffic by any means but it was just an experiment that worked way better than I thought. It's just really amazing how much traffic youtube can produce.
