Traffic Generation tip using the new Amplify plugin for WordPress blogs

by Diane Corriette on October 8, 2010


I wanted to share a new traffic generation tip with you because Amplify have  found a clever way to help people share content.

If you are not familiar with them Amplify let you set up your own blog that you use to “clip” information you find around the web and share it with the people who are following you – called your sources.


Amplify WordPress Plugin

I have made a video of this traffic generation tip using the new Amplify plugin for WordPress blogs.

Why is this such a great way to generate traffic to your blog? Well there are a few reasons

Firstly, your content will be shared and commented upon on Amplify itself and like any good social platform if enough people are sharing and talking about it your blog gets noticed.

Secondly, everyone on Amplify has the ability to share your content around the web through their other social profiles like Twitter, Facebook, Friendfeed etc so your content is now being spread even wider than just Amplify. Anyone with an active following who shares your content will help to get your noticed.

Thirdly, strategic blogging is all about having a plan and (hopefully) if you have a plan you will be building your list so all those new visitors who come your way can join your subscriber list and stay in touch with you and the great work that you do online.

So those are three very powerful reasons to want to include the Amplify plugin on to your WordPress blog. Can you think of any others?

For WordPress and WordPress.com blogs, get your Amplify it! button at

It doesn’t just work for blogs either you can also add it to your website and it isn’t only for WordPress blogs.

For all web sites and blogs (except WordPress) get your Amplify it! button at

If you are not set up on Amplify yet here are a few videos that will help you get started.  It is my belief that Amplify will become a great source of traffic generation and will be as big as Facebook  and Twitter one day so start using it now because it is a powerful tool for social clipping and content spreading on the world wide web!

Hey Diane,

Very helpful. I use amplify every day but diod not catch the fact that we can now embed the amplify button on our blogs, so will be doing so. So I Amplified this post. Btw the blog content protector will not allow me to go back over this comment text in order to correct the typo.

Thanks for letting me know about the blog protector Rich. I was frustrated a few days ago because I couldn’t change a comment I had made an error on and just couldn’t work out why I couldn’t change it. I deactivated the plugin because that is a major disadvantage. Don’t want to frustrate blog commentators – they are precious people :)

Thanks very much Diane for this information. Amplify looks like a great resource and I intend to start using it as much as possible.

Diane, I’m hooked on Amplify too. I’m using it for my blog and for a project at work. Hopefully it will help me justify the use of social media in our marketing efforts. Great videos too. I sent you a video reply on YouTube but I’m not sure if it worked. It’s also really good to visit another CommentLuv blog. Thanks and have a great day.
