Regardless of how good your website is, how good your sales
copy is, how good or attractive your product is, unless you
generate traffic you will never make money online. This
article is going to cover some ways for you to drive
traffic to your website for free.
Now, if you are like many others you simply don't have the
spare cash to pay out to someone to drive traffic to your
website for you. So, you must be willing to learn and put
in some effort in understanding what you need to do to get
traffic for free. Be prepared because it will take work and
you will need to commit to it at the beginning. Once you
have mastered the techniques, you can start to ease off
some as many of the techniques will start to work on
auto-pilot for you.
Being able to get website traffic for free will take a
little time to build up. Without question, paying for
traffic will get you instant results, but it is very
important you learn how to get traffic for free. Believe
me, it is a great feeling when you get tons of traffic to
your site, and you know you haven't paid a penny for it!
The first place you should look at to get traffic for free
is in forums. Depending on what you are selling, or what
your website is offering I guarantee you there is a forum
on the subject somewhere. Search out and find those forums
using the search engines. Check them out, see what people
are writing about or commenting on. Sign up to those forums
for free and start answering questions at first without
blatantly advertising your website. Within a short space of
time, you will begin to get reputation in the forum as
being an expert. Once you are recognized as an expert, you
can then start adding your signature to all your comments.
You will be amazed at the amount of traffic this will
generate for you. The major benefit is that the traffic
visiting your site will be highly targeted and much more
likely to either optin to your newsletter, or indeed
purchase your product.
Set up your own squeeze page or capture page and offer a
newsletter full of content on your niche or subject. It is
advisable to send all your traffic to your squeeze page and
build your own mailing list. When people optin, give them
high quality content. Make it enjoyable to read and many of
your subscribers will then begin to tell their friends
about you. This itself will bring you more free traffic.
Contact other website owners that have similar products to
what you are selling. Ask them if they are interested in
swapping or trading links. Most webmasters realize the
importance of this and most will agree providing you are
not selling the same product of course. Exchanging links
will help to increase your search engine rankings which
will in time bring you more free traffic.
Writing articles of course will bring you a lot of traffic
over time. The most important thing is your articles need
to be original and full of quality content giving the
reader exactly the information they are looking for.
Providing your articles are of a high standard, you will
get a lot of free traffic over time.
You will need to write up as many articles as possible over
a short period of time. The more the better basically.
Submitting these articles can be done for free also. There
are thousands of article directories online where you can
sign up for free and submit your article. One small tip
here is to make sure you do not submit the same article to
all of the directories as this will be classified as
duplicate content and have a negative effect on your search
engine raking. Simply change the article around and make it
more than 30% different and then submit it to another
directory.
Set up your own Blog and provide good quality content on
it. You can get a free Blog from www.wordpress.com and
there are other places too. Providing good content works in
two ways. It helps to get your site ranked high on search
engines, and because most of your free traffic will come
from there, it is important to get your sites ranked high.
Secondly, providing good content helps to build and brand
you as an expert. People then recommend your site to others
bringing you more traffic of course.
Using the above techniques and spending a little time
putting everything in place will help you to start getting
targeted traffic to your websites for free. There are other
techniques of course but for now, use these in this article
to at least get started.
