Increase Traffic to Your Music Website with the Conduit Network

If you’re old enough to remember Woodstock (or at least old enough to have rented the DVD), you know that, when it comes to music, people want to be where the action is. The more of a “buzz” you can create around your music, the more website traffic you’ll enjoy. Conduit community toolbars are a creative – and absolutely free – way to build buzz, increase traffic, and spread the news of you and your music to potential fans all over the world.

There are endless “cookie-cutter” music sites out there – from the average Joe with a garage band and a homemade CD to unload, to “boutique” record labels, to agents with a small stable of acts that they promote. All these sites share something in common: they use digital content giveaways – usually in the form of short song clips – to encourage listeners to buy a recording, a performance, or some music-related merchandise. But too often, these sites lack the hook that actively brings listeners in. That’s what Conduit can do for you.

Actively Build a “Happening” Website
Creating and distributing a Conduit community toolbar is 100% free – for both you and your site visitors. Customized by you, to appeal to your target audience, Conduit toolbars are packed with fun attractive features ranging from radio stations to video channels to news feeds, games and applications. This toolbar sits at the top of your subscribers’ browser window whenever they are on line, reminding them about your music, and peppering them with special promotions (Beatles trivia contest, anyone?) that draw them back to your site. Whatever you do to attract customers, your subscribers will know in real time, even if they’re viewing other websites. Toolbars generate curiosity, and increase site visits.

For example, if you’ve updated your site with some great video from a high profile gig (they wanted you for the Obama inauguration, but you were busy that night – yeah, right!), just add it to your newsfeed, and watch the click-throughs come in.

Work Those Networks!
Conduit makes it easy to share entire toolbars, or individual toolbar features – turning your subscribers’ friends into potential customers, for free. Every individual toolbar feature is gadgetized, making it instantly available to every toolbar subscriber in the entire Conduit network – a network made up of 38 million subscribers, with more joining every day. A simple click on the “Add This” button turns your gadget into an independent marketing widget – a dynamic link that sits in the browser of potential customers, alerting them to the existence of your music and encouraging them to stop by and hear more. Gatchets help site traffic take off – because everyone that adds one of your gadgets to their toolbar becomes your new subscriber.

Conduit toolbar gadgets are designed for easy sharing by email, and via social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace. This makes it easy for you to attract new listeners, new fans, and – of course – increase site traffic. And that’s music to your ears!
