If you buy a product or use a service, write a testimonial and submit it to the merchant. Every merchant out there needs testimonials and they are often very receptive to get one. It helps to make testimonials of products or services related to your site’s theme. For example if you have a pet website and write a testimonial about a specific pet product, anyone reading that testimonial is likely to visit your site to see what more words of wisdom you can offer.

A testimonial is usually a quoted statement that is not longer than a few sentences or a few very short paragraphs. A good testimonial will include how the product benefited you. Submitting something like “I loved your product” may not get any air time so be as specific as you can, but keep it short and to the point.
When writing a testimonial, be sure to include your website address under your signature and verify that the merchant will include it with your testimonial if published. Your testimonial does not need to have a live link, its better if it does, however your website should at least display below your name.

Note that the testimonial does not have to relate to your websites topic, if it does, perfect, but it doesn’t have to.

If you don’t have products that you can write a testimonial on, join a related ezine and submit a testimonial for that ezine. Ezine get read a lot and if your testimonial is posted on the front page you likely to get plenty of visitors.
