Helpful Tips on Building a Referral Magnet Website for Your PTCs

Okay. You’ve already joined all those PTC sites you deemed best paying. I’m not sure if you’ve also invested a lot of money in them too to upgrade and buy referrals. But for one thing, you’re also interested in getting free direct ones which a lot of PTC users have been doing since before. And so to help you out in your affiliate / referral pursuit you’ve decided to make a website / blog where you’ll lodge all of your referral links and banners. Unfortunately, after weeks or so, the site you made doesn’t convert to any referrals at all.

What seems to be the problem you may ask? Your site might not be optimized well enough to perform its intended task which is to get you referrals. Here’s a list to help you troubleshoot the problematic areas in your site for it to start getting you those referrals you badly need.

Site URL.


Although it’s not directly related to how your visitors behave inside your site, it plays an important role in your search engine presence. Choosing the appropriate URL for your site involves using relevant keywords to the topic or niche you’re into. Since you’re promoting PTC sites, you should use keywords relevant to that business (e.g. ptc, clix, bux, make money online, home business, home jobs, etc). The more relevant it is, the more people will find you through search engines when searching for related keywords like ptc or make money online perhaps.


Site Title.


It’s very much the same thing as your site URL. Use a relevant title. It helps your site’s presence in the search engines and the people visiting your site. Imagine someone looking for PTCs to join landing on a site titled “Chocolate Kiss”. The title has nothing to do with PTCs so this particular visitor could just leave immediately the same way he got into your site thinking that maybe it’s a wrong site he got into; unless he has all the time in the world to browse the site.


Site Content.


Here’s one important part you should look carefully into. Your site’s content. First off, it should contain content that’s mostly about PTCs. Don’t post lots of other stuffs that could just distract your visitor’s attention. In the same way, writing too much about other topics will also make your blog less authoritative about PTCs making it difficult to convince your visitors to sign up under you.

Talking about convincing, if you really want referrals for your PTC sites, your site must be able to convince your visitors to join up under you. This is where you need to focus if you really want results from your site. It’s all about capturing your visitor’s attention.

There’s a whole array of techniques site owner’s use to convert simple visits into what they want it to turn into such as subscription, participation, and (the usual) money. In your case you need your visitors to be your potential downline. What technique should you adapt?

Most PTC sites I’ve been into just post their banners across their sites then type huge bold sentences or paragraphs before it saying “trusted and paying, join now”, or “best ptc sites ever”. Well, if there’s one thing I could tell you, they’re really having trouble getting referrals that’s for sure. If there are PTC blogs or sites that make me want to click their PTC banners, it’s those sites that present good information first before asking me to join. I’m not saying truthful information but “good information” as in persuasive information that engages you and leads you to make that decision to join the site.

Most PTC sites I encounter don’t even have good English but they still manage to hook my attention to their PTC banners. That’s because they tell me the benefits that I’ll reap if I join these sites. They give me formulas and computations about how much I would earn if I put this much effort in this PTC site. In short, it’s giving your audience “positive” facts that will hook them more.

Another interesting technique is giving useful information that they could use when they’re already into PTCs. It’s like giving your readers blue prints which they could refer to from time to time to be successful when they’ve decided to join PTCs already. Give them tips, tricks, or updated news about the PTC industry and you’ll surely win them over.

Lastly, here’s an easy one you could use to write a magnetic content. Ever encountered these “Get Rich Quick” sites? Find one that you feel best grabs your attention. Copy their content then do some rewriting to fit your PTC sites in it. Don’t forget to remove their affiliate links, of course. Wallah, instant article!!! Of course you need to rewrite it in a way that it’s not as outrageous and too good to be true as they originally presented it.


Content Keywords.


Keywords, keywords… Put some more into your site’s content. It’s like incorporating those words about PTC into your site’s body. Place PTC relevant keywords in the beginning, middle, and end of your every article but don’t overstuff it. I would suggest using PTC terms and the words ‘PTC’ and ‘paid to click’ when writing your content since they will act as recurring keywords within your content. Always remember that these keywords will help you get more traffic from search engines.


Loading Time.

Your site must load fast enough to avoid having your visitors wait for the rest of eternity. Most of the time, some website owners just dump unnecessary banners, widgets, and java scripts into their site to make it look nice. Unfortunately, all those extra stuff they put in add up to the site’s loading time. The slower your site loads up, the less likely your visitors will stay and read what you have to offer. So, remove all the unnecessary features your site contains especially those that either loads for a long time or those that’s less responsive.


Organized Template.

How many times have you been to a site where you got lost trying to find the information you came for? Unfortunately, this is the case with a lot of websites. The actual content of the site is buried deep under the countless ad banners and widgets. It’s not that much of a problem for web savvy users, but you should always take into account those who aren’t. They could be your potential downline but you’ll lose that opportunity simply because they couldn’t find what they’re looking for.

Organizing your site involves removing the too much clutter found around your content. Place your content where your site’s visitors will immediately see it when your site loads. Additionally, place your site’s navigation where it can easily be seen. I’m always a firm believer that content should always come first before any of the site’s additional features. Always make it a point that your visitors will see first the content you have to offer; and that it’s easy to navigate your site if they wanted more information.


Clean.


Actually, this is optional but it always helps to look professional and presentable. Get a clean professional looking website to give your visitors the impression that the information you provide is worth looking into.
