Every day I see posts on how to get traffic to your website. Of course there are many paid ways such as Google Adwords, Yahoo, etc which offer PPC (Pay Per CLick) advertising. These companies made millions per year…even billions selling this type of advertising. I have to admit I use them. There is no easier, faster way to get immediate traffic to a website than using one of these paid services. You can get people looking at your site in minutes. But not every webmaster has the funding to pay for this. So let’s talk about some of the best ways I have found to get traffic to your website that is free except for the time invested.
1. Social Bookmarking
This is by far the best way as of now. With so many services such as del.icio.us, DIGG and others, it is important that any new website have the capability of letting USERS submit the website and content to others. A big mistake is to do this yourself. It helps…but in the long run it is a bad idea. There are so many scripts around to put social bookmarking links on your site. Think web 2.0.
2. Articles
Tedious but works so well. Write articles about your subject website. Then write more articles. And lastly write more articles. Put some on your site but reword them from any you send to article directory sites. I usually only send to one or two article directory sites unless I mix up and rewrite the article.
3. Blogging
Search engines LOVE blogs. Search engines LOVE frequently updated blogs. Can you see a trend here? You must write and write more. If you cant write find some PLR content and rewrite it. Do not just slap it up there. Blogs are awesome for traffic. I am really getting into this one and others by posting daily or almost daily. I check the stats and see the Googlebot coming every day. That means that Google is spidering my site for new content! Awesome!
4. Make Videos
This is one I do not do but I am camera shy :) Make some videos about the topics on your site and post to YouTube and other places but make sure somewhere in the video is your website name. Make a intro screen and exit screen with your URL.
5. Forum Help
I know this seems obvious but posting in forums and posting HELPFUL info is great for driving traffic. Make sure to have a good signature link to your site. You would be surprised how many people click it! But you must provide SOLID VALUED info. Do not just post one line answers. Help someone out. The more people you help, the more you will grow. I firmly believe in giving as much free info as possible and to help others out. You will be rewarded in the end.
