    You can have free traffic by using Social Media like Facebook and Twitter, join forum, blog commenting.

    Ways to get free traffic? Here you go:
    • Leave comments on other blogs. Don't spam, please.
    • Post on relevant forums and leverage your signature. Start with a popular forum.
    • Add a blog to your website if you haven't. Search engines love blogs.
    • Get indexed by the major search engines. Isn't that obvious?
    • Use social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. C'mon! Don't tell you don't have an account on em'.
    • Write and give away a free, valuable e-book or report and put your site's link in it. Please, make it worth it and stay away from rehashing.
    • Guest post on relevant blogs within your niche. Yes, yes, it works.
    • Network with other bloggers and webmasters. Contacts are everything.
    • Start a newsletter and start adding subscribers. Even a monthly one would do for a start. Yes the keyword here is 'start'.
    • Create a Digg-worthy or Reddit-worthy content and try your luck. If you're lucky, your servers will crash.
    • Get backlinks from relevant sites. How? Ask them.
    • Create and publish extremely unique, original, kick-ass content. That's how you get links from high quality sites/blogs.

      So, how's that for a start? Go ahead and choose YOUR best.

      I could go on and on and on ... But nothing would work if you don't take action.

      Have fun!

      NZMarketer wants one free strategy, and I don't think it's very possible, free traffic is hard work, you see all the strategies you have listed above is good, however, it's the time factor isn't it?

        There's nothing called free lunch my friend!

        If you don't invest money, you gotta be ready to invest your time and efforts. You just can't make it doing nothing, right?

        Even a little action goes a long way!

    Welcome to the forum.

    There isn't one "best way" to get free traffic.

    The most appropriate way for each marketer to get free traffic depends on many, many variables, including especially their own skill-set.

    But in general, it's a very good idea to think about traffic that isn't dependent on Google or other search engines, because SEO/ranking traffic often has a habit of not being too permanent (as so many Warriors have been discovering to their cost this year).

    If your entire business is dependent on Google for its traffic, then you're only ever one algorithm-change away from a potential wipe-out.


    I get most of my own free, targeted traffic from article syndication, but that way happens to suit me because I'm a writer. It all depends on your own skill-set and capabilities.

    Try social bookmarking. Works for me. I'm with StumbleUpon.

    I've had really good luck with forum posting in my main niche. Spend time actively participating in the conversations and you will start getting clicks.

    I also get good results from social bookmarking. I use SocialAdr for it. I have noticed boosts in my search engine rankings since I started using it as well.

    I would suggest you to get as much as forum posting in your niche forum site this will bring some targeted traffic to your site.

      There are tons of ways to get traffic using free method that will cost you only time. It is probably best if you just search the forum and find a method that will work for you. Test out one traffic method before incorporating a bunch so you know what is working best for you.

      I've heard alot about Document Sharing. Mostly good things...
      Google it and you should get a gist of what it's about (a twist on article marketing).

    You have received a lot of good advice. If you want one way it's going to depend on you. What do you have in your repertoire that you can do day in and day out without getting burned out on it.
    I actually started with three different free ways. They take me about two hours to accomplish a day.
    Find what works for you, because what works for me may not work for you. It completely depends on you.

    There are tons of free traffic techniques out there that can prove to be very useful however you can master social media such as facebook, twitter, etc. - but if you aren't delivering extraordinary content to your readers - non of these techniques will prove effective.

    You can drive tons of traffic to your site but if you have nothing of value to offer your readers will quickly lose interest and just fade away...

    In my opinion the first thing you should focus on is learning how to write GREAT COPY....

    Once you master this technique you can syndicate your articles to your blog, guest blogs within your niche, article directories, facebook, twitter, youtube, etc.

    One GREAT article can bring in tons of FREE responsive traffic to your site and you can literally bounce it around on the web (LEVERAGE IT) using the various marketing techniques everyone is talking about.

    Good Luck...

      Mauricio I agree with you!!!

      Content is King!!!

      All sites need content.

      If you learn how to write good content, all other ways of getting free traffic will suddenly become easy, because almost all of them require some type of copy.

    Google can give you free traffic without any effort if your content is unique. Besides that social bookmarking and social networking are the best ways to get free traffic.

    What do you mean by free traffic ? If it is organic (Traffic that comes from google), then you need to rank higher on google and for this you need to be more and more efficient in witting content and build link for it.
