And since everyone and their dogs and cats are using the same old strategies, you definitely need to come up with new ideas to generate your website traffic, so that you are always one step ahead of your competition. Not only do you need new ideas, you also need these ideas to be some killer tactics that very few people even know about.

Here, I will share with you a couple of very powerful Internet marketing strategies that you probably have not heard of before. And the better news is that your competition would not have a single clue about what I am going to share with you in this article. They have just been discovered, and are sure to knock you off your chair.

Oh, please do not worry about these two strategies being dirty tricks; they are totally white hat, so you don't have to be concerned about irritating other people. So let's begin, shall we?

The Un-tapped Goldmine of MySpace

Have you come across reports about the amount of traffic that MySpace.com is generating? If you haven't, then let me have the honor to inform you that MySpace is currently generating 2.5 times more traffic than Google.

If this piece of news fail to knock you off your chair, then I don't know what will. But I hope that you are still sitting pretty in your chair, because the real fact is that MySpace is actually using 2.5 times the bandwidth of Google, and not the traffic. Hah, caught you!

Reports that MySpace is generating more traffic than Google are mistaken and blown out of proportion. But still, there is no denying the fact that MySpace is currently one of the hottest and most visited sites on the Internet.

What is MySpace? It is basically an online dating site that allows members to create their own profiles and connect with other people to build their own virtual network. It is reported that building a network in MySpace is not difficult at all. Some members claim that they are able to generate more than a thousand contacts in less than 2 weeks.

It all sounds very exciting, so let us go through step-by-step on how to take advantage of this new tactic.

First of all, you need to create a MySpace account. After that, you will write a profile about yourself, and then start to build your network. To make your job that much easier, there are quite a number of services that can even do the networking job for you.

Next, you would include the link of your main website in your profile page, giving your site an instant back link. Now, this profile page has a very high Page Rank (PR), which is excellent when it comes to increasing your website's own PR. For your info, high PR would mean a higher placement in the major search engines, and this will ultimately lead to more quality traffic for your site.

And it doesn't stop there. MySpace also has a community billboard feature. Make a post in there, and your message will appear in the profiles of all your contacts. What if you have 10,000 contacts? You would have potentially 10,000 visitors with just one posting. And what if you add a link at the end of your message? You would have 10,000 back links pointing to your site instantly! This will absolutely explode your link popularity and blow your competition away. How cool is that?

This strategy is so new that not even the so-called Internet marketing experts out there realize it. So if you want to gain an upper hand on your competitors, then get out of your own conditioning, create a MySpace account, and get going now!

The Magic of Craigslist.com

Craigslist.com is an online classified ads center dedicated to employment opportunities. However, it also accepts all kinds of other advertisements. And these are all free!

The process of placing your ad is just like any other online classified ads website: you simply choose the most appropriate category for your ad, and place it in to attract visitors to your site.

And the cool thing is this: your visitors don't have to click on the link. They don't even have to visit your website. If that is the case, then how do you benefit from Craigslist? Well, for starters, this is a PR 7 website. Just by having your link in such a high PR site is enough to boost your site's own page rank. And you know the rest: higher positions in the search engines and more traffic for your site.

These are two amazing Internet marketing strategies that very few people even know about. So be sure to start implementing them today, and be miles ahead of all your Internet marketing competitors, leaving them to feed on scraps.
