Click on the &#8220;Traffic Stats&#8221; &amp; then &#8220;Traffic Rank&#8221; tabs.  As of right now, The site is ranked 39,570 out of all the sites in the world for today&#8217;s traffic stats.  As time goes on the 1 month &amp; 3 month numbers will catch up, but since the site didn&#8217;t exist 1 month ago&#8230; they can&#8217;t properly rank it.</p><p>In addition, I&#8217;ve picked up a TON of new inbound links, people Tweeting about the site launch &amp; talking about it on FaceBook. If you go over and sign up, you can have this same exact thing happening on your own website.  That&#8217;s why I launched ContestBurner. A viral marketing contest is an extremely affordable way to virally increase website traffic. Viral advertising campaigns can cost tens of thousands of dollars, but with ContestBurner all you need are prizes and my  WordPress plugin. To learn more about it &amp; to download it, just click here: <a title="viral marketing wordpress plugin" href="http://www.contestburner.com">Viral Marketing WordPress Plugin</a></p><h3><small>Tags</small></h3><p class="mytag"><small> <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/category/blogging" rel="tag">Blogging</a>, <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/category/video-marketing/youtube-video-marketing-2" rel="tag">YouTube</a> </small></p>Tags: <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/tag/advertising-campaigns/" title="advertising campaigns" rel="tag">advertising campaigns</a>, <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/category/blogging/" title="Blogging" rel="tag">Blogging</a>, <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/tag/increase-website-traffic/" title="increase website traffic" rel="tag">increase website traffic</a>, <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/tag/online-contest/" title="online contest" rel="tag">online contest</a>, <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/tag/viral-advertising/" title="viral advertising" rel="tag">viral advertising</a>, <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/tag/viral-contest/" title="viral contest" rel="tag">viral contest</a>, <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/tag/viral-contests/" title="viral contests" rel="tag">viral contests</a>, <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/tag/viral-marketing/" title="viral marketing" rel="tag">viral marketing</a>, <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/tag/viral-marketing-campaign/" title="viral marketing campaign" rel="tag">viral marketing campaign</a>, <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/tag/viral-marketing-contest/" title="viral marketing contest" rel="tag">viral marketing contest</a>, <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/tag/wordpress/" title="wordpress" rel="tag">wordpress</a>, <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/tag/wordpress-plugin/" title="wordpress plugin" rel="tag">wordpress plugin</a>, <a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/category/video-marketing/youtube-video-marketing-2/" title="YouTube" rel="tag">YouTube</a><br /><h4>Related posts</h4><ul class="st-related-posts"><li><a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/viral-marketing/viral-marketing-contest-i-messed-up-last-week/" title="Viral Marketing Contest: I Messed Up Last Week (August 31, 2009)">Viral Marketing Contest: I Messed Up Last Week</a> (0)</li><li><a href="http://www.billmcintosh.com/viral-marketing/tonights-live-show-viral-marketing-contest-prizes-gifts-for-everyone/" title="Tonight&#8217;s Live Show: Viral Marketing Contest Prizes &#038; Gifts For Everyone!
