You must
have listened big bloggers sharing their success stories which included how
they get high traffic to their sites using a tool or a widget developed by
them. Or many legends have shared their secret of building hundreds of
backlinks by distributing their created tool to other sites webmasters.
But does all
these stories are true, can we increase our backlinks and site traffic with the
help of a tool and widgets?
I would
say YES! It’s possible to build thousand of backlinks and visitors for your
site just by using some tools and widgets. But to make this stint of yours work
is not a child play. For that one need to follow a dedicate model and plan
strategically.
Let see how
one can make sure of that their efforts in making a tool and a widget are
rewarded rather than going unnoticed:
Tip
No: 1 – Don’t Try To be Fancy – Just be Original And Useful
This
rule is not for only webmasters but for all those out there who are developing
some tool or product. It’s is most important to know that if you are developing
any kind of tool make sure it is useful and more important original in its true
sense.
After you
decide on the tool, survey the market for similar kind of products available.
Review its functioning ad results. Then consider your tool concept and ask
yourself that will it be better than the ones present in the market? Will it
give better results than those? If the answer is yes, then go ahead but it No
then no need to go further. If your tool is not original or better than others,
it won’t rank good on search engines and won’t be popular on tool promotion websites.
Tip
No: 2 – Go Viral With Your Tool
While making a tool concentrate on keeping it user friendly, don’t make a complex thing which you can only operate and need to learn rocket science to operate it. You tool should be search as well as user friendly. People should also be able to easily share it with their friends. Prominently place Facebook likes and twitter re-tweet widgets on your site. Whosoever wants to embed it can easily find the embed code for your tool on your site.
Ask other bloggers, webmasters in the community to share your stuff. Make easy arrangements for others to invite their friends and share the tool with them. If your budget allows then share some sort of incentive to invite more and more friends.

Tip
No: 3 – Share It with Other Webmasters
I
know it is you who had spend hours and even hundreds or thousands of dollars in
making the tool, then why should you share it with other webmaster for FREE.
But
one has to share their tool with other webmasters who will republish it on
their website or blog. If you give it away for free chances would be more that
you could easily convince most of the webmasters and get hundreds or even
thousands of backlinks to your site, (don’t forget to embed your link in the
plug-ins). Whereas if you charge for sharing it chances would be half of making
sales.
These backlinks
will help you in improving your ranking in the search engines. Other advantage
would be of thousands of visitors to your site who could be the prospective
buyer of your product.
Tip
No:4 – Make Use of Available Platforms
Initially
you would have developed your tool on one specific platform, but later on
duplicate it on other platforms available.
It will
make it useful for wider range of audience. For e.g. if you have developed your
tool in plain HTML then duplicating it on Wordpress will make many wordpress
developers interested in your product, then further target Drupal and Joomla
prospective buyers with respective version of the tool.
If one
mobile version of your tool is getting enormously popular, write another version
of it for the iOS users. Then launch another version for the Android store.
With every new launched version of your tool you will tap new spectrum of
audience.
As long as
your tool is truly useful and original, all these tips will work in your favor
and help in spreading your tool to new horizons. Building stronger and wider backlinks profile,
more buzz around and higher search engine rankings.
So next
time you build a tool even a minor one, follow these tips and use your tool to
build backlinks and traffic for your site or blog.
