How I generate traffic online without spending a penny.

30 replies
Hi warriors!

I get it - I am new here. So instead of asking for help, or tips, or for all of your "money making secrets" on my first post as many other new warriors do, I want to provide something of value to my fellow warriors.

Okay, enough with the rant lol, now to the traffic generating part!

Follow my steps and you will have plenty of traffic!

1. Figure out what niche your site is, and what search keywords relate to it.

ie: warriorforum.com
related keywords: make money online, affiliate marketing, etc

2. Visit google alerts:
Google Alerts - Monitor the Web for interesting new content

3. Where it says search query, type in one of your keywords. For result type, choose discussions ( you will see why later)
For "how often", choose as it happens. Finally for "how many" choose as it happens. Repeat this process for all of your related keywords.

4. Click create alert. What did we just do? Now google will send you a notification every time a new post, or topic is created in a forum or discussion site.

5. Whenever you get these email notifications, open them up, click on the link, and make a non-spammy post or reply on discussion. (make sure you have a signature link - as that is how you will be getting your traffic!) And if the site allows it, say something like "check my sig if you want to see more".

Now when people read these discussions they will see your post and click on your link. Trust me - this works. Plus this traffic is SUPER targeted.

Anyway, let me know your thoughts and opinions on this and I hope you found it useful!

Best Regards,

    This is a solid way to drive traffic but you can make it much easier on yourself if you download a tool called Buzz Bundle which tracks down all the blog, forum, social media and Q&A posts based on your keywords and then auto signs up for them and allows you to manually type and post a reply without leaving the software. It saves so much time and there's a free trial too.

    Good share, to my amazement (and having used Google trends for keyword/trend/niche research) I never gave much consideration to the free targeted traffic method you just described!

    Learn something new everyday.

    Thank-You!

    All the Best,

    I like your style.

    It may feel a bit time consuming unless you deeply involved in the niche already, which would make it fun for you anyway, and less like work.

    Have you found many discussions that didn't allow signature links or ways to link back to your site?

    This is an interesting idea. You don't need too many alerts.

    I had set a few Google alerts a long time ago with my keywords, but they stopped coming in. I don’t know if I should renew them. I simply abandoned this matter.

    Thanks everyone for the comments on my method.

    Something I forgot to add is that you can get a VA to do this for you!

    Nice info. There was a WSO once, that had like 5 pages, plus this method you shared. I've paid 10 bucks for it, and I was incredibly angry that I paid so much for such a simple information So kudos to you to share this for free

      Simple information? Are you actively searching for 'complicated" information? Would that have suited you better? Did you learn a few traffic strategies that you hadn't come across before inside that WSO? The way I see it, I'd much rather spend 10 bucks on a 5 page report that solves a problem than a 100 page fluff filled report that I more than likely will never read.

      To the OP. Yes, Google alerts is a great little tool to use and there's a hundred and one different ways to use it if you get creative. I's recommend setting up a separate email address just for Google alerts and punch in all sorts of keywords, not just phrases, but top marketers names and products too. You're only limited by by your imagination

      Why need to be angry? You buy something of value and that is information that can make you 10 times more than you paid.

    Great tips! I've heard this a couple times before as well. One thing I'd add is if you're planning to post to very active blogs you'd want to do it as soon as possible after receiving the Google alert. That way your post will be very high up on the page. Once several other posters get on there yours could easily get buried in the middle of dozens of others (or more).

    I don't know many people that actually read many posts after a certain point. Know what I mean?

    I am not sure how much traffic this strategy will drive but I am sure it is a very good backlinking process through which a variety of backlinks can be achieved. Which can be very helpful to get good ranking.

    Great tip for sharing.
    Though I don't drive free traffic these days, this method certainly worth trying..

    My part in Sharing:
    1. Don't ever try promoting your products In your post especially you are 1st time posting.
    You do not want to be seen hard-selling.

    2.Create good response/content to engage relationship.

    3. Please don't write 1-2 liners..
    Otherwise, They will not be bothered with your signature link

      It's good reading through these threads anyway, as it reminds you of methods you may have forgotten. This will be good for my t-shirt store.

    for people actively using this method, how many unique visitors do you get?

    Should we also set google alerts for blogs, or discussions is enough?

    agree with "papu" but my website is losing traffic continuously i am worried about it because there is no more traffic from yahoo and bing, i think people just focus to google and there is no more places for other search engines
