What is the fastest free traffic source?

61 replies
Hi there,

I have used solo ads to build my list. Although it is a reliable source of getting leads to your list it still costs you money. Besides other sources I want to concentrate on free traffic sources that supplement the paid sources. What are the methods that gets you free traffic fastest way possible?

    Hi.
    I understant you, solo ads it still costs us money, even it costs tons of money. So you can use to send document services by upload PDF file and then they will publish for you, social media like Facebook fanpage, twitter. Nomally, all type of free traffic will come slowly. But once it come, it really great! In my point of view, social midia or forum like this is fastest way to get free traffic. Good luck man!

      Reddit is good. If you know where to look.

      You see Reddit is a a pool of fresh and "quality" traffic if you may. You can only harness the numbers if you know where to post. Its basically a forum but with different communities.

      However for posting links thru reddit, you have to develop or gather a relatively "okay" number of Karma. Karma is one of the gamification techniques used to engage users on reddit. It's pretty similar to Quora credits - You get more karma when your posts/comments get upvoted, and lose some when they get downvoted.

      So for example, your niche is Gaming. You have to go where that number of audience is large, go to r/Gaming <--that is a sub-reddit.

      Some certain, sub-reddit require you to have atleast engaged 10 posts via commenting. So yeah you get the idea. People have been successful getting organic traffic from reddit. As long as you know how the communities work, you'll be okay. Plus, interaction and engagement inside Reddit is fun. Lots of smart people.

      Oh and watch out for trolls.

    FREE Traffic is more about 'quality' rather than quantity. I have never experienced a 'fast' free traffic source.

    In other words...

    All of the FREE Traffic methods that are out there convert better than paid however, FREE Traffic is not fast (at least for me).

        Okay, maybe I should 'rephrase' myself...

        FREE Traffic can be fast and yes I do get traffic quickly using my free methods, however with that said...

        It was no way fast in the beginning.

        I had to work my ass off initially and don't believe anyone can just come into free traffic domain and 'cash in' quickly.

      I've started to believe that. I started learning a bit about SEO last fall, and have been pleasantly surprised at how soon I ranked. But the traffic must not be quality, as I never made a dime. Of course there's competition, but I've got at least one viable, even important business I've concentrated on. The products have stabilized blood sugar for some of us, decreases or taken away pain, curbed appetites, and so much more. At any rate, I'll have to try to target some people with major health issues, though some people have used our products to manage almost any such issues.

    In my experience, the fastest ways to get free traffic are:

    - forum posting

    - sharing your blog posts to targeted Facebook groups

    - creating YouTube videos; this doesn't get a lot of traffic initially but it gives you a trickle almost as soon as you post it, and the effects are long-term

    - posting PowerPoint presentations to SlideShare; the same applies here as for YouTube

    Also, there's guest blogging, which is something I've never personally done but it's an incredibly effective way to get warm and highly targeted traffic.

    Free traffic are not usually fast. Social media, forums, youtubes and blogs are slower. But the quality mostly is good. Just be patient. Once it hits it stride, it will just flow more.

    Fast traffic comes from paid traffic but you cannot be sure about the quality though.

    Its first know your demographics of what your ideal prospect/customers are. Facebook is insane but most people on these social networks are like those who stand around the water bottle and talk all day about everything but their job or business and then they get mad because they weren't pick for the promotion or the raise.

    Forum marketing works well. Video is very powerful...

    Guest posting can be pretty quick. If one of your posts gets accepted in an authority blog you can instantly get a strong boost in visitors and subscribers.

    Youtube videos can also work in the short term. They take a little longer than guest posting since you need to build a video and rank it on youtube, but it's a solid free strategy that works in many different niches.

    The best and hardest way to get free traffic is by optimizing your web site for Google and if you want to get fast traffic, then keep your content always fresh related to multiple keywords on your niche market.

    Another method is adding your site to the Chrome web store, it`s a fantastic source of free traffic and yet many webmasters are not taking advantage of it

    Post an ad here in this forum and then steal traffic from search engines. Of course, it will cost you money, but still paying for ads is one time payment.

    If you want to get free traffic fast, you need to have your own products. And you contact influencers who have large list (at least 10K subscribers / followers) or have websites which attract massive traffic (at least 1K unique visitors daily), you offer them as your affiliates for your product. If they make sales, you pay commission to them. They will glad to help you. It is free traffic.

    For fast, free traffic I use Facebook. Depending on your niche and if you know what you are doing, it can be relatively easy to get a burst of traffic with Facebook for free. If you are an active member of a popular forum in your niche, that can work very well too.

      There are lots of websites who are selling traffic for very cheap rate but quality is not good. But I believe in Quality is better than quantity. So best way is collect traffic from social media sites like Facebook Twitter Youtube. 1 real and quality visit is equal to thousands of low quality visit.

    You can try Stumble Upon. I use this site for my viral news site. Some of the stories I make go viral. The most page views I received in a day was a little over a 1000. The trick is how quickly you get the story out as well as what time you release the story.

      Hey Fellow Warriors,

      I have a thought or two I would like to share on the topic of "Fast Free Traffic Methods" First the idea of fast traffic is possible but the idea of Fast Long Term Wealth is not a real thing. You need to concentrate on building relationships with the customers of your business regardless of what type of business model you are a part of.

      I see too many people these days going online with the idea of doing a few short tasks and then the next day being filthy rich. This is the real world folks. We have to work hard for our business to flourish. So many gurus out in this world want you to believe that they have the answer to getting rich inside their secret books, and websites. However they do not sell you any real answers only fluff.

      So with that being said the best Free traffic method I have learned is connecting with people in your niche and finding out what their needs are and then using the tools and services you are a part of to help fulfill those needs. This method is not fast by any means but it is long lasting. So the question really boils down to:

      "Do You Want To Have Fast Non Sustaining Money, or Slow and Steady Flowing Income?"

      You can comment on Forums,and share your blogs on social media and that will generate traffic but it will never be as valuable as the relationships you have personally built with the people who visit your site.

      Thanks for reading,
      Sam Lee

    Going on Facebook and posting quality information is groups is a good way to do it as is Youtube - as long as the videos are quality and you entertain people and keep them interested, they will want to know more about you and what you're about.

    Post to Instagram using hashtags and place your webpage in your bio. If your posts are interesting and directed to the niche you're targeting, you will get free traffic to your site and over time you will build your list.

    In my opinion the social networks are really good, FB is the best, but there are also myspace, and squidoo, with the latter greatly increases your link popularity.
    With FB use even sproutsocial that allows you to program your items and much more pinarest for infographics.
    Or even socialnews like Reddit, digg.
    Or create podcasts and then optimize them by creating feedrss.
    I hope you have been helpful, good job!

    Free traffic tends not to be very fast unless you can post a large amount of content while still maintaining high quality or if you can get your content on a blog or site that already has a ton of targeted traffic. I would say the best free traffic generation results for me have been from YouTube video marketing as well as forum marketing. Facebook is also at the top of the list.

    1. Buy an expired domain name related to your product that has quality backlinks and that still gets traffic (this approach requires research). The domain will cost money, but once you buy it, the traffic is free.
    2. Sign up with a traffic exchange like TrafficSwarm. Depending on what you are promoting the traffic may or may not convert, but it doesn't hurt to try.
    3. Give away something for free (like a free pdf download) and offer it through freebies sites.

    Omer,

    Good question, man! Depending on the kind of business you have, there are a variety of ways you can build your list for free. However, I want to have a qualifier on that, if you don't mind.

    If you want totally free traffic, then use a blog and start blogging. However, if you go the totally free method, then you'll have to totally bust your buns of steel.

    I have decided to go that route and I get all sorts of free traffic, Is it perfectly targeted traffic that'll convert everyone? Nope. When you blog for free traffic it is still a crap shoot. What I like to do is combine writing blog posts with a direct mail campaign.

    Since I am a copywriter, I write my own DM pieces and send them to my target market. Since my target market is a very select bunch I'm not out of a lot of money marketing to them, so my needs are not expensive or costly.

    If I don't gain clients, I can at least get them to go to my site and sign up for my video offer.

    I also have tons of YouTube videos that I use to generate traffic for free to my blog as well as writing in forums and commenting in well selected blogs.

    The blog posts themselves are free because I write them myself. However, I write 3000 to 4000 word highly detailed posts that include infographics, images that make the content more organized and interesting, as well as a good header graphic. I try to add relevant video to the content and I only link to the most outstanding content I can find.

    So the bottom line my friend is that yeah, you can get free traffic,but you are going to have to kick A-S-S and really bust your tail to get the free traffic you so desire.

    If you go this route, make sure that you are producing the highest quality content that you can muster and that you are delivering value. I've been into Internet marketing since 2001 and even had my own e-commerce site and I nearly killed myself with that business.

    So, there's a ton of work involved if you want it for free.

    I hope this helps you my friend.

    God Bless,
    Mark "Elmo" Ellis

    Soooooo, the best free traffic source that I've come along is either forum traffic (but a link in your signature like the one I have in mine) or video traffic...although not necessarily free, it is extremely cheap and you can get a boat-ton of views for like $10!

    I hope that helps and good luck!
