How To Generate Traffic For Free - 11-01-2007, 11:08 AM

Are you attracting traffic to your site? In the internet world it’s about traffic. No traffic, no sales, no money.

You may want to invest some cash to attract traffic. Now, if you have the cash, that’s fine, but if you are on a tight budget, what can you do?

Firstly you need a proper mindset and a lot of eagerness. You also must have the drive and perseverance to do hard work and research to generate more traffic for your site.

How sweet it is to have more traffic for your site without spending a single cent. Now it’s a sure thing that many sites have articles that offer tips and guidelines in how to generate traffic using only free methods.

Because it is possible, you don’t need to speed a single cent, it may take time, to say honestly, I’m not going to beat around the bush with you.

You get better chances by paying for your advertisements, but at least you get a fighting chance with some of these free methods I’m about to tell you.

1. Forums

Take advantage of online forums and online communities. The great thing about forums and online communities is that you can target a certain group that fits the certain demographic that you are looking for.

You can discuss about lots of things about the niche that you represent or offer. Another great advantage is that you know what you are getting into and you will be prepared.

Show them what you are made of and wow them with your range of expertise about the subject. With that you can build a reputation and build trust with the people in your expertise and knowledge.

2. Newsletter

You can also make use of newsletters. Provide people with a catalog of your products and interesting and entertaining articles.

In your newsletter, provide links back to your site. This way your subscriber will click to visit your site again.

Of course, make sure you have new content on your site for your subscribers.

If your newsletter is really interesting and entertaining, more people will sign up for your newsletter and recommend it to other people.

The more people who signs up for your newsletter, the more people visit your site increasing your traffic.

3. Trade links

Another great idea is trading links with other sites. You don’t have to spend a cent. All you have to do is reach an agreement with another webmaster.

With exchanging links, the efforts both sites do will benefit both sites.

Traffic that goes to the site could potentially click on the link of your site and visit your site as well. This works well especially when both sites feature the same niche.

This method is not that effective. But hey, it’s free, so worth the try too.


4. Write Articles

Write articles that could pique the attention of people that have interest in your product.

Write articles that will provide tips and guides to other aficionados. Writing articles that provide good service and knowledge to other people would provide the necessary mileage your traffic flow needs.

Submit your articles to free article submission site. When people find interest in your articles they have a good chance of following the track by finding out where the article originated.

Include a link or a brief description of you with the article and there’s a great probability that they will go to your site.

5. Good Content on your site

Write good content for your site. Many search engines track down the keywords and keyword phrases your site uses and how they are used.

It is not a requirement that content is done by a professional content writer. You could do your on but you have to make content for your site that is entertaining as well as informational.

It should provide certain requirements as well as great quality.
Generally, internet users use search engines to find what they are looking for.

Search engines in return use keyword searching in aiding their search results. With the right keywords, you could get high rankings in search engine results without the costs.

This is one of the most effective methods. Search engines brings tons of traffic to you.

All of these methods and more will drive more traffic to your site for free.

All it takes is a bit of effort and extended man-hours. Learn all you can about the methods depicted here and you will soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the usual costs that come with it.

IMHO good content will only get your site natural links. For example a page on my site got a link from Wikipedia.

To earn good money on a site that drives much traffic you need to be in the top 3 position in Google and your site needs to be very SEO optimized. But the most important factor in getting lots of money from a good position on Google is traffic in it self. Is your article relevant? How many people are searching for the keywords of the site you made?

If searches is low you will not get a lot of traffic and you will not earn a lot of money.
