Getting Traffic with Web 2.0
Michael Phelps was all the craze during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. About 20 minutes before his Olympic Gold Record setting race I purchased OlympicGoldRecord.com. To be honest, I was extremely surprised that that domain was available and I was quick to snatch it up. I installed WordPress and started posting some articles related to the Olympics, Michael Phelps, and Olympic Gold Records. Within 24 hours I was receiving decent organic search engine traffic for various keywords I was going after. But the real power of Web 2.0 traffic was soon to be discovered.
I searched the web for anything and everything related to Michael Phelps and came to this post on Amazon Askville. First thing I did was create a post on Olympic Gold Record that featured what the question was inquiring about and named the post accordingly. Check out the post here. Next, I went back to Askville and simply answered the original question as a normal web surfer would and provided a link to my site. To my surprise, I started getting some really decent, high quality traffic.
