    Everything is hard....

    Work at the hard stuff, that works, and it will become easy.

    The only reason its hard, is because you actually have to work it.

    There is no EASY button.

      You are wrong. There is an easy button that make the difference. The guru know that and are hiding it from newbies. An easy way to generate free traffic is by posting classified ads on USFreeAds, Craiglist and other free classified ads site. Also give out free viralized product like a viral e-book, audio etc. that can e shared others with relatives, friends etc. Soon you will receive a hoard of traffic to your site.

    Free traffic means that there is work and time involved. Otherwise it wouldn't be free.
    So, maybe you should first define what exactly "hard stuff" means to you.
    Then we can suggest easier ways.

    try buying bulk traffic but watch out not all the sites are reputable and most use pop-under ads so a visitor may not even look at your site at all or view it as spam.

    basically you gotta have cash for advertising....otherwise.. they are right, NO EASY BUTTON EXISTS!

    There's plenty of free ways to get traffic, but all of them require work, or are "hard".

    If you are looking to avoid "hard" work, such as article writing, creating web 2.0 properties, content creation, backlinking, etc....you can look to outsource all of this if you have that kind of a budget.

    But, of course, your looking to do it with free methods, which, in turn, requires more "hard" work on your part.

    Great post on getting your site seen. Traffic really separates the men from the boys (and the rich from the broke!).

    A suggestion that I think is really important, especially if you're new, is to pick 2-3 of the methods you mention and get really good at those vs trying them all and getting nowhere.

    Best of luck.

      hey there has to be a bit of work when getting traffic the best ways i have been getting traffic are...

      Forum Traffic
      Forums are fantastic communities of people that share common interests and passion so to get traffic from forums all you do is chat ask loads of questions leave comments and help people answer other peoples questions don’t make it all about you give help you also want to help people not just a person almost every niche will have its own forum and everyone is interested in your subject
      Its important that you dont just join a forum and put your sites out straight away delivery value and you will receive tons of traffic
      You can find forums by going to google and typing your niche in say for me i would put Internet marketing forums lists you get a load of results just look and see which have the most traffic to them
      so add value and you will get traffic
      Article Traffic
      Article traffic is one of the most popular traffic methods because its easy and free
      So just submit a short informational article about 500 words related to your niche and put your website / blog on the bottom submit the article to lots of article directories then you will see lots of traffic from this
      Squidoo Traffic
      Squidoo is a social community website which allows users to create about themselves you can make it about your product your blog or websites you can have as many lens as you want and all these lens could link back to your blog/websites
      You should write a lens around areas that you have a fair amount of knowledge about and can write with confidence you can also get them write for you if your not great at writing before you write a lens get abit of knowledge by going to google and looking up other people lens and get few ideas


      Create A Keyword Rich Header For Your Blog. The header of your blog may repeat on all pages of your blog, so make sure that your header contains targeted keywords in it,
      then you can get more of your pages indexed by search engines. By the way, the header is really very important! So take some time to optimize it well.


      Treat Every Blog Post As A Separate, Optimizable Page.
      Use the process of SEO on every post of your blog. It means that you should create an optimized title for every post,
      find targeted keywords for every post and insert the keywords into your post itself.
      Don’t worry about that description, you just make sure your the first paragraphs of per post contain the main keywords in it.


      Get Your Blog Listed in Blog Directories.
      Blog directories are still a great source of getting one way links to your blog. Since blog directory links most of times are pointing to you, but you don’t link back to them, they are super helpful for boosting your search engine rankings. No doubt, having many one way linkspointing to your blog may improve your search engine rankings.
      Also leaving comments on other peoples blog is great thats how im getting traffic here it really dose work so check out othere peoples blogs and leave great content



      so i hope this helps you out and goodlook with your traffic



      Thanks

    WELL Warren, your question seems to as if a gold miner wanted to find gold but is not willing to dig deep and work hard to find it. Guess what will happen to the miner, everyone else will strike gold and he'll go home empty handed.

    Unfortunately internet marketing entails hard work. There are many ways to get free traffic to your site, MOST of which are part of the off-page SEO strategies but they require a lot of hard work. If you do not want to work hard then hire someone to do it for you. Unfortunately those are your only two options. You can try social networking but if you do not develop a strategy in order to make it work for you, it just isn't going to. You can tray email marketing, but that is going to cost you. You can try free classifieds, but that entails some work as well. SO, in essence I think you can just quit internet marketing while you are starting. If you are not willing to work hard and want things to be free you have quite a challenge ahead of you.:rolleyes:

      This question inspires me to start a thread:

      "Hey, will you give me some money..for nothing?"

      No? ...hmm

      No work= no traffic= no sales= no money= whiny marketers, that pretty much sums it up. Just as much "work" in creating enticing offers and good looking websites as there is in driving traffic to them so your either going to have to change your mindset and gear up for the long haul or get out before it costs you more money that you won't make back.

        A word of advice.

        Find 2 or 3 free traffic methods and work at them. Refine them, master them, you can even automate them eventually. But sadly as everybody has said here, it is time consuming and requires work.

        Even ppc requires work, check your stats, make sure you are not paying to much etc.

        You almost took the words out of my mouth. Typical of today's gimme, gimme, "I have a right to...." culture.

        This has to be one of the most idiotic questions I've ever seen asked here. The fact that so many people (including myself ) have dignified it with an answer probably says more about us than about the OP.

        The OP should be extremely grateful for all those who have left sensible answers.

    How is writing Articles hard? By making this thread you've proven you can write articles.

    Sorry buddy but succeeding in IM and getting traffic requires work and its usually not the most exciting work to do but you got to do it if you want this dream bad enough.

    Once you have a system in place thats working for you and making a profit, you can then outsource it so you dont have to do boring tasks..

    Among the free ways that have been included here, I find easy-progressive traffic on forum posting, blog commenting on relevant blogs (you can pursue maximum commenting when you join blogging communities for instance as there will be scheduled posts for every member and all are required to comment as well), Twitter, FaceBook Fanpage and posting relevant content on your blog itself.

    Alternatively, if you want to leverage from social media marketing, here's my recent post that could help you optimize your FaceBook Fanpage. Check it out here:

      I agree, to a point....

      I would say, do the easy things first. A little SEO, a little link-building, some social bookmarking. That will pay handsome dividends.

      Then to really make the site fly you need the harder work. But it is worth it!

    As some have mentioned, there is no "easy" way. The Free methods will take some dedication to doing it the right way. Once you do however, over time it will bring you not only steady traffic... but high quality traffic for years to come.

    One of the best ways to get free traffic the fastest is "Conversational marketing"
    Blog and Forum posting.

    Finding blogs and Forums concerning your niche or market and posting / commenting on the sites. Opening dialog with your niche market will create backlinks to your site as well as put your message and offer in front of a very targeted market for your niche. This will bring buyers to your site or offer versus window shoppers.

    You can do a free search to find Blogs and Forums in your niche. There are also some great tools available to cut your work load in half and bring the leads right to you, such as Google Alert.

        If you want free traffic then you have to spend time. This is the way of the world and the internet as well.

        Free methods that I know for sure work include article marketing, forum marketing and social media marketing. This should be enough to get you started and then you can move on to paid methods once making money from these.

        Remember you always have to give up something for success and many a times it is your time.

    You have obviously bought into the concept that you don't have to do hard stuff or work hard to make money online. I'm sorry to tell you that the reality is you have to put some work into it, especially if it's free traffic that you are after.
