Can you imagine getting an ad in the New York Times for free?

Impossible, right?

Wrong!

When I sent a blogger friend of mine to this link, there was a long silence on Skype. Then he said, “How the freak did you pay for an ad in the New York Times?”

I then showed him how to do it. And I’ll show you how to do it too.

The ad in the New York Times doesn’t cost fifty thousand dollars … it’s free!

(You can see it below.)

This article is part of the Traffic Avalanche Strategy course, but you can also use this technique any time you place a link in one of your posts.

As you’ll know if you’re following the Traffic Avalanche Strategy course, the Avalanche post features many links to other blogs.

Think about what usually happens when people click on a link on your blog. People follow the link— and may never come back to your site.

With the method I’m going to show you in this article, readers who follow your link will find a reminder on the post you’ve targeted, which can bring them back to your blog again.

How to Use Sniply to Get More Traffic Back to Your Blog

Check out the video below on how to use Snip.ly.

As you can see, it’s easy to set up a Sniply link. But I’ve developed an advanced strategy that will get you a lot more traffic.

It’s based on the fact that you’ll get more social media penetration if you not only ask people to tweet  your post, but also offer some tweetable links in the post.

Check out the advanced strategy below.

The Ninja Snip.ly Trick

If you’re willing to spend just a little more time creating your Traffic Avalanche post, here’s an advanced way of using Snip.ly by combining it with Tweet This links. Here is how to do it step-by-step:

Step 1: Choose a quote

If you are following the Traffic Avalanche Strategy and are creating an Avalanche post, the best way to use this advanced strategy is to chose a quote for each section of your post.

The quote should be from one of the posts in the section. For example, if the topic of your post was 100 Top Posts on Self Development, you might have one section titled Learn to Relax. You would then choose a quote from one of the posts you’ve linked to in that particular section.

If you’re creating an ordinary post, choose a quote from a high-traffic blogger.

Step 2: Create a Snip.ly link of the blog post that’s the source of your quote

Follow along with the video above to see how to do it.

Step 3: Sign into Click to Tweet

You need to sign in with your Twitter account.

Step 4: Set up your tweet on Click to Tweet

Here is an example:

Creativity flourishes in solitude http://snip.ly/7wGP via @zen_habits

There should be three parts to the tweet: the quote, the Snip.ly link of the blogpost you’re quoting from, and then the Twitter handle of the quote’s author.

Step 5: Get your Click to Tweet link.

Once you’ve created the tweet, click on Generate Basic Link (see below).

Your Click to Tweet link will look something like this: http://ctt.ec/NoAq8.

Step 6: Write tweet this after the quote and link it to the Click to Tweet link

Here is an example:

Creativity flourishes in solitude.  – Leo Babauta [tweet this]

The tweet will look like this:

Finally …

When people click on the link in the tweet above, they’ll go to Zen Habits—and find an ad from WritetoDone there.

Of course, you and I know it’s not really an ad. But it looks like one! And it’s a link back to my blog for anyone who follows the link in the tweet.

You can do exactly the same.

In this way, your blog will be connected with high-traffic blogs, and some of that traffic will flow back to your blog.

Now go and put these Ninja traffic trips into action.

You’ll love the result!
