What is your free traffic method?

Writing an article, spinning it, and then submitting it to hundreds of directories is my favorite method to obtain free traffic.

Facebook traffic works pretty well for me.....but i mix it up with other social media

Niche specific forums and most recently Facebook and Twitter. Looks like I finally broke the secret code on the latter part, because I am getting a flood of traffic from my account these days.

Facebook fanpages are good, but you need a ton of fans to move any size-able amount of traffic.

For me it's finding blogs and forums to comment on, I have found a lot of them and of course twitter, I get good traffic from twitter too

Depends on the kind of traffic. StumbleUpon is the best for just pure impressions, but for sales it's a different story.

Social media is absolutely the best free traffic for me!

Online : Article Marketing & backlinks

Offline : getting people on fiverr to paste your brochures in Universities, community centres, supermarkets ...etc

I'd say my favorites are:

Video
Blog commenting
Forum interaction
Articles
Good 'ol SEO with optimized site

Real basic stuff... but they've proven to work best for me!

Only Directory Submission.....

Articles by far for me anyway. I still get traffic from articles that are 5+ years old. If you take your time and write a good article and put a little effort behind it you can really hit them out of the ballpark rankings wise and get a ton of views and clicks to your site.

I've recently gotten into buying articles and spinning them and using some sites to help with the submissions, but I'd still say writing a good article out does one you wrote in about 5 minutes and spun 20 times.

Both of these methods are my free traffic.

If your looking for tools. I've been testing SEO Link Vine, and The Best Spinner. I'm sure there are others out there that might even be better.

Well not usually but try to maintain the following ways:
1. Article Submission
2. Forum posting
3. Commenting on blogs
4. Maintain the quality of content
5. Social Networking

Social media marketing is the best way for building traffic. Other than this all the off-page techniques are also very important for increasing traffic.

For my main market Video Marketing hands down.

I'm just about to explore using video in a second market which is traditionally more 'video resistant.'

I like reviews about products I've bought ... include the product name, creator and write a natural review which will pick up traffic from people interesting in buying.

No real keyword research necessary.

Surely its about a combination of all of these. Expereinced people I talk to say: articles, good content on site & blogs, becoming involved and visible in forums. For me I haven't done much on social networks but plan to start.
People go on about 'what's new?' and new methods do crop uo but i reckon its about persistance and working on your activity consistantly

There's really nothing new but if you want to see effectiveness then Guest Post is definitely the best.

There are lots of traffic generation methods but the most effective traffic generation method is to use Twitter and Linkedin along with Facebook to generate targeted traffic. Use of forums and relevant blogs is also very useful way.

I wouls say forum marketing, blog commenting and article marketing. Social media traffic is also free but do not usually convert into buyers.
I replied a similar question yesterday

keywords, article submission and a whole lot of little in-codings, just does it

Links Building strategy is key to success. People just keep building links but do not know the proper strategy which are appreciated by Google.

I use free traffic exchanges here mostly. A little from articles and SE's. I also pay for targetted banner traffic.

Take care,

I'm tryin to push "trough" with SEO!

Blog commenting is very effective for me. A bit of blog walking pays off for instant traffic.

Search engine traffic.

Article marketing for me and using the backlinks to push my sites higher up the search engine rankings!

My free traffic method: backlinks from articles and forum posts, and autosurf programs.

This is one of my favorites too and I love to put it together with article marketing. You get the keyword rich domain, the articles listed, and the backlinks as well.

Actually being human in Twitter and doing the 3 or 4 step engagement technique. Screenshot follows:


Gets people more engaged! Twice as many clicks.

Of course the most important consideration in online business is how do you get people to visit your site or blog? It is by basing your content on well researched keywords, which people are already using to search for the product or service your are marketing. I use Micro Niche Finder for my keyword/niche research and it has been quite useful in my promotion of Clickbank digital products.

By the above, use of manual and automatic traffic exchange.

Many people use the old-fashioned search engines (just kidding).

Write my website on my back and streak across the field during professional sports games.

A very easy way of obtaining easy traffic to my website is Twitter. I start following a lot of people in my area of work and some will follow back. I'll get 2000 followers in no time and they will visit my site at least once.

Get traffic with video.

Without getting into anything lengthy, here are are two quick tips for increasing video traffic.

Video Trafficker Tip #1:

In the subject line and also in the descriptions of the Youtube video, place "weird" characters at the front and at the back, like so:

© ® ¿ Watch me make a ton of money...LIVE ¤ O ©

Your video will stand out from the sea of others. Watch your clicks soar.

To find weird characters on your computer;
Start->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Character Map

Video Trafficker Tip #2:

Use Pixelpipe.com. Many of us are familiar with Pixelpipe to distribute videos on video sharing sites across the 'net. But did you also know you can use pixelpipe to distribute videos to iphones...for FREE?
pixelpipe.com/iphone

Talk about a powerful untapped resource!

Go get 'em.

I have gain a lot of knowledge here. thanks for all member for sharing^^

articles and social media when you get the hang of it.

keyword domain is really important
in fact, so important, that it is not worth time on other things to rank it
if the domain itself indicates a challenge.

=========
then...

properly formatted title, content and description tags

and keyword-named images and description tags

==========

then...

"terms of service" & "privacy policy" links

( Basically - comply with AdWords regulations and Google will love your page )

========

Finally ...

keyword text links on
blogspot, wordpress, weebly, wetpaint, hubpages, squidoo

and videos with inks on

youtube metacafe ..a few others

I think article marketing and creating a presence on the social networking websites are efficient ways to get traffic to the website.
