The Free Traffic Blog

O.K., to start off, there are a couple of free traffic techniques that I absolutely dislike.  The first one is exchanging links with other websites.  Don’t get me wrong, I know that if you do this the right way, then it can be good traffic for your website, but at the same time if you do it the wrong way, then Google will frown upon you.  Oh the horror!  Also, I guess you can say that I am a bit selfish, it may just be me, but I don’t like providing a way for people to click away from my website.  In fact, that is why I’m also not a big fan of adsense.  O.K., so another free traffic technique that I dislike is methods where you earn “click credits” to your website by either purchasing them or visiting other people’s websites as a part of a “let’s all click on each other’s websites community” so that we all get free visitors.  I have seen sites that promote this type of “community” and I have even seen them advertise that the traffic is “targeted.”  They are lying.  Don’t believe them.  How could that traffic in any way be targeted?  It just doesn’t make sense.  Everyone joins that type of website for one reason:  in order to try to get free targeted traffic to their OWN website.  Just don’t fall for the hype.  With most all websites, this type of traffic ain’t gonna work for ya!

Now for some really effective ways for getting real targeted traffic to your websites:

#1:  Taking advantage of the growing popularity in video sharing sites.

This method is really hot right now.  Why?  Because it really works!  I personally have been able to enjoy the massive amounts of free traffic that this method can bring.  Also, there is software available across the web that will submit your videos to multiple sites all at once.  Imagine:  You make one video, but then send that same video to 40 different websites.  Now, if you have created a decent video with a good title, then you are probably going to get at least a couple hundred video views per month on many of those video sharing sites.  200 views times 40 different websites is 8,000 exposures for your website per month!  And that is just what one decent video can do for you.  Imagine if you created just 5, two-minute videos each week!

#2:   Creating viral methods for obtaining website visitors

It just makes sense.  If you have a website with great information that leaves each visitor wanting more, then each visitor is likely to tell other internet users about your website.  Even if what you may offer is just a weekly newsletter or a simple eCourse, if that content is really good, then people will tell their friends to check it out.  So, create what I call “viral content” for your website and you will get a whole lot of word of mouth marketing for your businesses.

There are many other viral methods for obtaining free website visitors.  A personal favorite of mine is creating a viral eBook.  On a couple of my websites, I provide (for free) certain eBooks to my visitors.  I think allow these visitors to share this eBook or sell it to others at a profit.  I take extra time in order to assure that I am giving them an eBook that provides real value instead of just a “pass-along” book with a bunch of my affiliate links embedded in it.  One of the best examples that I have seen of a great quality viral eBook is Yanik Silver’s “Million Dollar Emails” book.  It contains hundreds of pages of quality information on email marketing.  It is a book that tons of people WANT to give away as a free bonus on their websites. 

#3:  Writing articles

If you do things the right way, writing articles will get you a flood of free traffic to your websites.  Here is an example of a correct way:  In this article, notice that I haven’t embedded a bunch of my affiliate links.  Notice how I haven’t tried to sell you on any of my products.  Notice how I am actually addressing the article title and giving you the answers that you wanted. 

If you write articles and actually provide people with good content, then your articles will get read and also will be accepted in the majority of cases by the article directory sites.  Remember that these article directory sites provide a special area for authors to tell more about themselves and their websites.  It is called the “About the Author” box.  I have provided an example below…
