Give Your Opinion And Make More Free Traffic

I have a friend who once told me, "Everyone has a right to my opinion. So who am I to withhold it from them?" Of course he was joking (to some extent) but there is an element of truth for anyone in that statement. If you have had an experience with a product or service online, there might be a thousand other people who are thinking about buying that product or service and would like to know what you thought about it. But did you know you could post reviews on sites like Amazon , Barnes & Noble , and Epinion  and help yourself while you're helping others? Posting reviews gives you an opportunity to establish yourself as an expert, and it allows you to build links back to your web site. This post will cover some ground work about sharing your opinion by writing reviews, and set you on your way to giving everyone what they deserve out of life, your opinion.

So, you may be wondering why you should bother writing reviews. Most likely you've already heard about writing articles to promote your web site or affiliate product. You probably already know how those articles will not only bring direct traffic to your site but will increase the "backlinks" and therefore improve your search engine placements. But product reviews at sites like Amazon don't get listed on Google by themselves, and the only people likely to see them are people who happen to be shopping for that particular product, right? Bingo! You've just hit the nail right on the head; people reading your review on Amazon are looking for that particular product. If your own web site is related to that product, then you might just have found yourself a new site visitor. Not only that, but you've found a site visitor who already knows you are familiar with products just like the ones they are shopping for.

Now that probably doesn't sound too exciting, does it? It may seem like a lot of work for gaining a few new visitors to your site. You're likely to be thinking there must be a more efficient way to build traffic. If that's what you're thinking, you're right. But if you look at the big picture, you may be terribly wrong. In the big picture, yes you're bringing a few visitors to your site but you're also creating backlinks from some of the largest sites with the heaviest traffic on the internet. What does that do for you, you ask? The answer is simple: it makes your site appear relevant. Here is one of the biggest sites on the internet and they're linking to you, and that's the sort of thing which really impresses search engines like Google. Your relevant back link from a major web site will do wonders for your search engine results page placement.

So now are you starting to believe there are more people who should be hearing your opinions?
