Getting traffic to your website is a major key to getting sales and making money. You can either pay for traffic with time or you pay with money and many times it is both. Even with pay-per-click, you will usually spend a significant amount of time in addition to a cost for each click to get targeted traffic to your website. The following are a few ways that you can get free traffic. Some of these are going to produce more targeted traffic than others, but each of these methods can get traffic to your website.<\/p>\n

Blogging is one of the easiest ways to get free traffic, but like any other website, you still have to get traffic to the main blog<\/a>. However, blogs have a major advantage over regular websites because they have an RSS feed built in. Also, depending on which blogging platform you use, there are some instant advantages because if you use wordpress.com, the domain tends to rank very well with the search engines. Also, Google owns Blogger<\/a>.com and has a tendency to “hang out” on their own properties looking for new updated content. <\/p>\n

Social bookmarking is a great way to get easy links back to your main website and depending on the type of social bookmark site you’re using, you’ll have the opportunity to get a lot of traffic back to your website. Digg.com is one of the examples of this type of site that has the capacity to drive a tremendous amount of traffic back to your site. If you are interested in looking more into the social bookmarking scene, do some research on the top 100 “diggers” or “stumblers”. <\/p>\n

There are dozens of places on the internet that you can create mini-sites or individual pages. These sites typically will allow you to post whatever content you want to post including your own RSS feeds from your blog, other websites, articles<\/a>, video or whatever else you’d like to create in these pages. The main key to success with these types of sites is to make sure that you’re posting links back to your website, especially the deep links. Those RSS feeds included in the mini-sites or pages are a great way to get links back to your site. Also, create an individual text links using html or even images. <\/p>\n

The single best free traffic source is article marketing. In the eyes of the search engines these article websites have a very high authority and rank very well with the search engines. This also means that links from these article pages are usually very relevant. Because you are the one that writes<\/a> the articles or at least controls the content of those articles, the links back to your pages on your site will be very relevant and the search engines will reward you with higher rankings. <\/p>\n

Contributing to forums is a great way to get links back to your site as well. The downside to most forums is that they have a “nofollow” policy which means that the links aren’t “followed” by the search engines. These forums may not do as much to help you from the search engine perspective alone, but an often visited forum in a niche you’re in will get you some targeted traffic. This is usually done by adding a signature to your posts with a link. You’ll have to check with the forum to make sure this is ok and determine what their policy is regarding their signatures.<\/p>\n

Many blogs get a lot of traffic and with the comments you can add on a lot these blogs, you’ll get people clicking through to your website. There are also what are called “dofollow” blogs that will help you with your search engine optimization as well. <\/p>\n

There are several things that you can do to help you get traffic to your site. These are only a handful of ways you can use. The more time you spend trying these things out, the more you’ll learn and the better you’ll get at getting rankings and traffic.<\/p>\n
