Generating new traffic seems to be the main concern for most website owners. Sadly, they give little or no thought regarding their exiting traffic. As a result, they fail to recognize the untapped potential of viral marketing.

Most web site owners do not realize how easy it is to add a tell a friend script to a website. This small change can instantly boost the amount of targeted traffic to any website. Its' crucial that you give your visitors an easy method of spreading the word about your business.

Think about the last time you discovered a new website. I bet you got an invite from a friend or family member. I'm sure you ended up visiting that website, because somebody you know invited you. Who knows, you might have even bought something, subscribed or became a member of that website. This is why tell a friend marketing is so important. When referred visitors arrive at your website, they will be more likely to make a purchase.

The average tell a friend script can be installed on your website within minutes. Most work the same way, you simply copy and paste a few lines of code onto your website. Most services offer some sort of user admin area, where you login to modify your form details.

For the most part, the prices are usually billed on a monthly basis. I know of one company that charges $15.00 per month with the option to pay annually. Another company offers life time access for a larger fee of $179.00. I suggest you ask questions and exercise due diligence before handing over your credit card.

Automation is another thing to take into consideration. Over the past year, tell a friend scripts are now integrating address book importers. How can such technology benefit you? Well, it allows your visitors to easily import all their web mail contacts. Here's how it works. Your visitor arrives on your page, and decides to invite friends. He simply enters his email address and password, and automatically import his contacts from any major web mail provider such as Yahoo, Hotmail, and even Gmail.

Auto responder integration is another feature to look for. Once again, you will only find this feature with the more advanced tell a friend html script. This will allow your visitors to subscribe to your mailing and invite friends all at once.

Finally, you should also seek out a company that offers good customer service. This is very important since you may encounter some difficulties when you first get started. They should be able to respond to your questions within one business day.
