Free Online Traffic Methods

22 replies
Hi there,

I am in the health and fitness niche and I am looking for the best ways to generate free traffic to my squeeze page.

I tried forum marketing but forums in my niche are not allowing any signatures.

Can anybody shed a light on what are the best free traffic methods to be used?

Thanks,

    You can try guest blogging or blog commenting.

    This two should works fine and bring in some targeted traffic.

      Guest blogging is still a great way to gain traffic. Aim to write something brilliant and post it on a huge blog - it's worth the time. Also have a way of capturing traffic. One great post on a huge blog is worth more than 100 mediocre ones. Make sure people can sign up to a newsletter so you can communicate with them in the future.

    I also have a website about health&stuff
    What works for me is commenting on other similar blogs &websites in general. Promoting on Facebook, Pinterest &other social media is also OK.
    Forum don't always work, unless you're writing really personal stuff, otherwise they see it your website as a threat.

    In order to increase FREE traffic generation, you need to become a master of one craft at a time, and consistency is the backbone to success. There are several traffic sources i.e. blog posting, video, forum posting and social media that you can master. Persisting with the chosen method will in time render results and that not committing to this will only end up with “snail pace” traffic increases. So you need to make your chosen methods a habit. If after your designated time period there is no noticeable increase then try another method. I have been doing this and I am increasing my traffic

    Have you tried submitting articles to article directories? My favorite is Ezinearticles. Write unique content and add your link with different anchors.

      Did you try article directories lately Andrew. Isn't it one of the old school strategies? Is it still effective?

        Not for generating potential customer traffic to your website, no.

        (Some people used to try to do that up until about 2009, but it was only ever based on a very fundamental misunderstanding of what article directories are.)

        That's never actually been part of the purpose of article directories, and it isn't a function that any article marketer would want an article directory to serve. Explained in more detail in posts #2 and #6 of this thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5068872

        Sorry, but this would be a dreadful idea, Andrew: for all the reasons explained throughout this thread, nobody should ever put unique content into an article directory. That would be very counter-productive indeed. It's because some people make the mistake of doing that, that one sees all these ill-informed threads in forums announcing that "article marketing doesn't work any more" (which, by the way, is also nonsense).

    You'll undoubtedly get lots of advice on the sources of free traffic. So, instead, I'll just remind you:

    More important than how much traffic you get is what you do to improve the quality of that traffic by the time some of it turns into subscribers.

    A 50K list can be worth $50 a month or $50,000.

    however if you want traffic without any expense whatsoever why not use YouTube especially for health

      To make a good following in a short time then you need to use paid FB like ads.

    Look into Clickbanking (NOT the same as Clickbank) where people send you clicks in return for you sending them the same.

    You can find people that will agree to send to you first or for you to send to them first.

    Search "clickbanking" in Facebook, you will find several groups. Join them, make connections, agree a deal = free traffic

    Actually Every forum site does not allow signature, some site accept signature instantly, some sites will permit you after making sense post 10, 15 or, 20. when you make 20 post they will permit you to ad signature. some sites count day, such as after 3 days you will be able to add signature.

    Forum posting, article submission, blog commenting are the good way to increase traffic.

  • To generate free traffic and targeted one then use social media channels Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon etc.

    hello, for getting traffic social media is also playing an important role, with the help of this you can easily give the information about the products or resources to your targeted customer.
    Apart from social media, some important activities of SEO will also help in increasing traffic, such activities are as follows guest blogging, web2.0, high profile QnA as well as Forum posting.
