– Create a “-friending”- system, on the side of your prediction exchange, so that traders can share their readings, trades and tips with their web acquaintances and friends.
– Invite some big bloggers into the system. It is not necessary that those big bloggers use the service.
– Put the names of these bloggers as the by-default choice in the landing page of your “-friending”- system, so that each newbie is prompted to become a “-friend”- of those big bloggers.
– Of course, the number of “-friends”- of those big bloggers will grow dramatically by the minute. After a while, the numbers of “-friends”- of those big bloggers will become impressive.
– Then, what happens is that those big, infatuated bloggers will notice the big number of “-friends”- they got on that “-friending”- service (which they don’-t use), and they are going to start bragging about that on their respective blog —-linking to that “-friending”- website, and thus, sending more newbies to it, and injecting PageRank juice into it.
– The best scenario is one where that “-friending”- service is seen as prestigious, and there is a competition going on between the big bloggers about who is going to have the longest.
– Success guaranteed.
