It’s obvious that the tell a friend scripts become more and more popular each day. So why not giving it a change?

First, what is tell a friend?

The whole idea behind this is very simple: your visitors can email their friends telling them to come and check what you got, no matter if your website is a dating one, or a social network, or a blog. Yes, tell a friend scripts can be applied to blogs as well.

Why is tell a friend important for you?

Simply because this way your website can go viral (self promoting). Imagine if someone lands on your website and uses the tell a friend script to get 10 people on your website. That’s 10 more free visitors for you. Now, what if those 10 emailed by the first visitor will email 10 friends each, this way? You’ll get 100 visitors. And it could go on and on and on.

Where do I get a tell a friend script from?

Hmm … I’ll let you do the research and testing. I installed few of them on some of my clients websites and they were pretty happy. However, recently, I ended up building a little free tool that places a tweetme button on every single post of yours. You can get it from here: tweet-me button for wordpress. If you don’t own a wordpress blog, but still want to have that button on, there is an equivalent for the other platforms, free as well and you can get it from here: tweet-me button for other platforms. Feel free to use both of them and let me know if you encounter any problems.

How do I install a tell a friend script once I got it?

Well… Most of them come with an install guide at least, or even free installation.  If you need more info on how to integrate it into your blog once you got it, just reply to this post or contact me.

I won’t stay on this subject too much, I just mentioned it as it can bring you some extra traffic and extra cheese if used properly.

Hope this helps,
