One of the best ways to get traffic to your website is to make sure you have a link to your site in every product you sell or giveaway. Especially with products that have resell or giveaway rights, this way when other people sell your product you can get traffic from it.

I am amazed at the number of products that I see and download that don’t tell me where I got them, where they originated from this even includes products given away on squeeze pages. People just take the giveaway or master resale rights product and give it away without adding anything to bring them back to their site.

OK, OK, I hear you. You are saying, “But I don’t have the rights to change the product!”

No one said you needed to change the product.

There are a number of ways you can get noticed and have the users of a product (even if it isn’t yours) come back to your site.

For example: Repackaging

Most of the time for repackaging you will need a program to Zip the files. I use winzip but the free version doesn’t allow you to create zip files it only allows you to unzip them. The guys at Coffee Cup have a free program that will let you zip file called Zip Wizard that will create your zip files for you.

Repackage the download and include your own special instruction sheet with a link to your site or sites.

Repackage the download and with a special report that increases the value of the product, include this as a bonus and make sure it has links back to your site or sites.

If your product is a pdf you can use a PDF brander like PDF Profitlock to wrap your pdf file. This will make it possible for you to put a splash page that they will see whenever they open the file and a splash page they will see whenever they close the file.

There is one draw back to wrapping a PDF. That is the file gets changed from a .pdf to a .exe file and isn’t compatible with Mac’s. Depending on your niche this might be fine or disastrous. When I look at the stats for my sites I average 1% to 3% Mac users so for most of my sites this wouldn’t be a major problem. But if you are selling Mac accessories this would be a major problem. Use your best judgment because you should know your niche much better then I do.
