Do you want oodles of free traffic to your website? Then here is a strategy that I have used on a web 2.0 property that people seldom use, but has huge results. Not only will you get a lot of clicks to your site, but Google loves these sites and your PowerPoint slides will get high ranking in the SERPS.
Follow these steps:
1. Take an existing article that you have written and input into a PowerPoint presentation. (If you do not have PowerPoint, you can use the free “Impress” from OpenOffice.org).
2. Break your article down into smaller size bites by turning it into a slide presentation. Simply copy and paste your article. It is that easy, and it only takes a couple of minutes.
3. Upload your PowerPoint presentation to these web 2.0 property sites below. First, you’ll need to create a username. If you want to get even more ninja, then have your username the same as your keyword that you are targeting and wanting to rank for.
Slideshare.net
Slideboom.com
Docstoc.com
Scribd.com
Esnips.com
Show.zoho.com
4. Make sure that you add your relevant keyword ‘tags’ on each of these uploaded sites. This will greatly help so that your presentations will show up in the search results and will get you more traffic.
5. Add a comment to your post on these sites, and use your keyword as Your Name in the comment section.
6. Bookmark the URL of your PowerPoint slide at each of these web 2.0 properties. If you are using Traffic Geyser or SEnuke (and preferably you want BOTH to crush it) this only takes a couple minutes to do.
7. Lastly (BUT DO NOT FORGET), you want to syndicate your PowerPoint presentations all over the internet. Your username at each of these sites has a RSS Feed. Find your RSS Feed on each of the sites by looking for a RSS icon. Click on the RSS icon, which will bring up your RSS Feed in your browser. Copy your RSS Feed URL in your browser window and submit this feed to RSS Aggregators.
Here is a list:
feedage.com
feedraider.com
goldenfeed.com
feedest.com
rssmountain.com
rssmicro.com
rssmotion.com
icerocket.com
feedagg.com
NOTE: If you are using automation software like SEnuke, you can submit a RSS Feed to a bunch of sites with one push of button.
This strategy will take you about 30 minutes to accomplish, but it has enormous benefits and traffic to your sites…and Google loves these web 2.0 properties so you will get great ranking.
Happy Marketing,
Mark

Hi Mark:
Thank you so much for this powerful article!
I sometimes make Powerpoint slides into video and submit it to Youtube. I can now bring more traffic to my websites by using the powerpoint web 2.0 sites that you have provided.
This is amazing!
Thank you again!
Hey Mark…
You are always sharing great quality stuff! I truly appreciate it and I look forward to learning more from you.
Thanks again.
This is great advice. I love this blog, and I come back to it again and again. You are a very good to your list and visitors. Thank you for the content and tips.
Hey Mark,
I love your tips, simple but powerful. I would’ve never thought of this idea. Got to try this out soon.
Thanks,
Spencer
Thanks, Mark, you are giving me good info here, and getting me going in getting more traffic – which I sorely need. I suppose eventually, hopefully sooner, it will be cool getting senuke (through your aff link) but not quite yet at $127/mnth.
Mark,
Thanks for the fantastic tip. I am going to go use it now to help rank one of my apartment complex websites. We need renters! My Powerpoint presentation is going to be about “How to Get Free Rent”!
Thanks,

Each post you make on this blog makes me learn new things. Thank you again!
I have a lot of articles published so I have a lot of material to try this.
Mark!!
You never cease to amaze me with the quality of content you place here. I look forward to implementing your Powerpoint ideas.
Thanks
That’s a good post, I’m agree with you. Thank you for posting a touching post, sometime it just make me wanna cry, I would say disagree with the last statement but it’s okay because I’ve been pondering about this issue for a long time.
Great tactic Mark,
I do have a question: Are we to place the PowerPoint presentation in the Web 2.0 post as a file to download OR are we to export the presentation to images (e.g. JPEGs) and paste these into the article instance at each site?
Thanks
Eric
Hi Eric,
You just upload the PPT presentation to the web 2.0 sites. They are not downloadable, but just viewable. If there is a download option, you will need to investigate that. It is not a filesharing service.
Just a question, I can’t find the RSS feed neither for docstoc nor scribd. Are you sure the profiles have one?
Is there any way to measure whether this works. I have done it on behalf fo someone else and they asked how many back links they got? I have added the relevant URLs etc.
By the way the link is my blog built during the course. No video yet as for some reason it destroys the page when I add it! I’m trying to become an SEO guru!
Your blog is getting better and better.
Thanks for all the good tips & info.
You are “moving the free line” just like a pro.
cheers & best regards…Gary

tried this but got no increase in traffic..
@ Lee – I’d need specifics. What keywords, etc.. This is not just a traffic getting method, but also a backlink method.
Hi Mark,
Don’t really want to discuss it here.. Have you got an email?

Can you post some examples of where this is actually being done on the net? I’ve seen this identical post on the net elsewhere. I’d love to see a live example of this in action.
Thanks!
@ Steve –
There are slideshare shows all over the SERPs and across the net.
Just so a search on “site:domain.com” and you’ll see them all.
You have really great content and great tips on your blog. Some of them are to difficult for me at the moment = I made notes to come back, and others I can do right away. Thank you for all of it. It is great help. I got signed up to your newsletter by chance (well I had bought a product at which you were a partner) and began looking it through a bit. This is one subscription I’ll keep.
I just came across your website, and I’m so happy I did. I never heard of the power point thing and it sounds like something I might try in the future. Thanks for bring the info my way.
Great site 2 Thumbs Up

Hi Mark,
heads up for writing this great article. to be honest here, i have never thought about the advantages we can get through this simple yet effective technique. i must say that this is what we can call as “Thinking out of the Box” and it must return some benefits. i will surely be giving it a shot when i get my article ready.
Cheers

Ive always used Esnips and scrbd and theyre perfect!Ill try using slideshare and slideboom too, or better yet, use all of them for better traffic, right?:)
Your blog is so informative that I never leave empty. There’s always a lot to learn from you.
Oh my; this is brilliant. Before I even read the article all the way through, I understood the utility of powerpoint slides and presentations. This technique reminds me of the formerly seldom-used seo booster of alt img tags, and how they’ve bumped my site up several pages simply because no one thinks to uniquely name their images, favoring the search engines. I will be using this liberally for my upcoming seo blog; thanks!
