The Best Ways To Get Traffic Without Google...?!

I think that is the question big G asking himself every day.

Isn't that traffic still through Google? :confused:

They have such a monopoly!

My suggestion is internal banner buying e.g. contact sites and ask for links.

Hi Lozzer100,

I have been using Facebook a lot lately. It has been working out great for me. You are right, Google's algorithm change has surely changed things to me also. You really have to keep up date with Google if you are big in SEO.

That's why I prefer using Facebook and their ads. I will have people like a page and that way you can send an email to them with the "send a message" option in the fan page. This way you do not have the overhead charges of an Aweber, no matter how big the list gets.

To get the CPC or CPM low you can use all kinds of tactics. Most important is choosing the right demograpics and changing the ads pictures frequently or else people get bored looking at them.

Off-line I have been using Bluetooth advertising at some busy 4 way, 3 lanes intersection here in Dallas. Wow, so many have their Bluetooth enabled, it's crazy.

I would have to say through my active affiliates and through their lists...Then of course, you need a product to offer, and a good affiliate program.

But it works pretty well for me

We need find one more reason to use Internet.

To find some thing -- go to G
To meet friend online -- social network

If you want a flood of traffic, the simple truth is you're going to have to either pay for it or work your butt off right now.

There's no real magic way to get traffic, but my advice is to go to where all the traffic already is.

Past Google, the next 2 big "traffic stars" are Facebook and Youtube.

Another one, I would go with is Twitter, because of it's high traffic and ease of use.

You don't have to spend a whole lot of time on twitter to make some awesome connections on there with REAL people.

These are all great ways to bring traffic, and there is no magic way to get automatic traffic from these sites with little to no work, and if there was, would it really be of the quality you're looking for.

Take some time, have some fun, make some connections.

Find people talking about stuff related to your niche and go out and talk to them.

Find some "big players" in your niche, and go out and talk to people they are friends with.

Does it take time, yes? Does it work, double yes?

Just have some fun with it.

Also, Youtube is more of a social network than ever, and is becoming increasingly so. Get out and connect with some people.

I agree that social networking will likely account for a large amount of traffic. Now, more than ever, marketers will have to provide sites/content that are consistently high-quality.

Youtube, Press Releases, Articles.....this Forum. Most of us have signature links to something we're promoting. Hint! :-)

I use article directories and consider anything I get from the search engines to be a bonus. If the content is written well, then others will pick it up and syndicate it all over the place. The problem most have with article marketing is they think overnight success and riches is possible. Article marketing is a long term plan and will always make money if done right.

i would have to say twitter, or at least, some form of social media. twitter remains a good way to 1) get followers 2) post your updates to them. of course you cant take a commercial approach; you need to treat it like a personal feed.

trouble is with this you need to constantly work on it. there is no compound result, like with google where a search position can serve you for years after the initial outlay. twitter is very "now" but next to google i have received the most traffic.

PERSONALLY I DO NOT THINK THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO GET TRAFFIC OUTSIDE GOOGLE. GOOGLE HAS REMAINED THE BEST UP TILL DATE. BUT THERE ARE OTHER SITES ONE CAN GENERATE TRAFFICS LIKE FACEBOOK . FACEBOOK WORKS A GREAT DEAL. YOU CAN ALSO TRY SOME TRAFFIC GENERATOR SOFTWARE. MOST OF THEM WORK PERFECTLY.

First of all, nothing is ousting Google as best search engine. Google is awesome, it got where it is today for several reasons, sure, but, quite simply they are the best at what they do.

People will keep going to Google, because they return the most relevant results. They read your mind, man (or something like that).

Binghoo (my pet name) just doesn't return the same quality results that Google does consistently.

Google simply outnerds everyone else.

YouTube

Still part of the Google Universe, but I've got no doubt about it.

Generated over 2000 leads for an offer in a period of 1 month, only by focusing on YouTube alone.

Or, Email Marketing, but you'll have to have a list first.

You can use Face book ppc,solo add,Warrior forum special offer,press release,Guest blogging,banner advertisement

Organic traffic is still the best but you can also try some viral video marketing.

I don't know why anyone would get flamed for targeting Binghoo. They are two HUGE search engines, their ranking algorithm is simpler, and if you rank in one you rank the same in the other.

That's DOUBLE the traffic.

Sounds pretty legit to me.

Bing determines ranking based on the content on your page as its primary ranking consideration.

Internal and external links are less important to Bing.

Yahoo buys listings from Bing.

Many of the other smaller engines also rely on content on the page, so long as they can find at least one link to your site.

Facebook is another option to bring in traffic...

I think the best and instant way to get traffic without Google is by PPC

I think a combination of Facebook, Twitter and directly advertising on larger relevant sites your niche is a good way to go. If you set your page up right Bing and Yahoo will garner you some traffic also.

I believe that every online marketer has to figure out what works best for them. I have read about some people using free resourses like Traffic Exchanges, Safelists and Listbuilders. A lot of people are successful with Classified Adds on Craigslist. Forum marketing is another way to go.

niche forums?

I love giving free content to people with an existing audience, using old-school article marketing...

But that can be a lot of work...

With great rewards....

Some of the methods I use are, social bookmarking, building inbound backlinks, facebook marketing and blog commenting.

Social networks, forums, and blog commenting

- PPC, YAHOO and MSN
- Blog commenting
- guest post on high traffic niche blog
- Joint venture with someone who has a big list.
- Articles
- CPA
- Press release on PRWEB
- Banner ads on high traffic site in your niche.

really different advices and suggestions you already recieved...but you may also apply the plugins on your website...they may also help.

I use Social Network, Forum Marketing, Blog Commenting, Social Bookmark, Articles Marketing. Google is never work since I being in Internet Marketing

try some paid traffic sources... plenty to choose from
fb/pof can be great for starters

It's been a slow process for me, but I have gotten to a place where I'd be ok if all my traffic from Google disappeared. If all my Adwords traffic disappeared, I could handle that too (but I wouldn't be happy). I did it through this combination.

---Yahoo & Bing. Great conversions, just less traffic.
---Adcenter---Great conversions, less traffic.
---Facebook---Another way to spread the message, but not as great as I would like.
---Email---I've been building an email list since 2005 so my list is fairly large. And I can get good results with monthly email sales.
---Affiliates---In my particular niche, I've only been able to find a few good affiliates. But out of those 3, they bring in REALLY good sales.
---Wholesale--Self Explanatory.
---Offline---I am in a niche where it makes sense to go offline, it's just a little harder to target the right customer from the comfort of your own home. You need to do some more "Old School" things like pick up the phone and talk to people, send things in the mail, and advertise in papers. Still though, when you find a good outlet, you can make TONS of money.

Overall, I just enjoy the traffic I get from Google and am just trying to take advantage when I can. My focus is growing the pie through alternative traffic methods.

I agree with Piper A and brianboyer.

commenting on forums, blogs, article posting, link building and social networks is a good way

Free traffic without google can be done through blogs and forums. It takes time and patience but it will be targeted just like google.

For faster results, ppc is the best. You can buy cheaper but effective traffic thru ads, banners on thank you pages and reputable solo mail in.

Facebook seems to be very good for me. Twitter is not really helpful.

Email marketing is another good way to get traffic and make money online without Google.

You can offer your services through email messages, besides promoting various products.

A great free traffic tactic is to do article marketing for syndication instead of for article directories.

Find high traffic blogs/sites in your niche that allow you to contribute articles/guest posts, and submit your content to them. Your article should be high quality though. Don't write for SEO, write it for readers and they will click through from your resource box. You get direct traffic from established sites that already have targeted traffic on them.

If you want to use paid traffic, why not take advantage of other sites with higher rankings.

Find sites that are ranked on page 1 in your niche that have adsense on them, then use the Google content network to place your image ads directly on those sites. So if sites are getting traffic by ranking high on Google, you intercept that traffic as well by having your ads on their site.

There are a billion different ways to get traffic...a lot have been mentioned in this thread, and there are still many others that haven't.

I think video marketing and email marketing are good.

Also consider free reports, document sharing sites.

facebook had 250 million people visiting everyday. what better place than this can get more traffic?

Forums in your niche will be one of the best options... also you can find JV partner that has a lot of list! You can leverage their list to your website.

Co-registration mailing.

I have never used anything else in the past 11+ years.

However this is not a free or cheap process of getting traffic initially. But it does become free traffic (excluding monthly operational costs...server(s)/IPs) after you breakeven on the initial cost of the co-reg.

I like Facebook advertising a lot. It gives you good ways to target specific audiences and doesn't cost a lot. But brings a good return on investment

Youtube's a great way to drive traffic.

I use article submission and blog commenting. They worked good for me.

Google is the foundation for many people's websites Even the top companies list them in the google

Hi

I am interested in purchasing traffic UV WW.
Everything beyond pop-up/under
Willingly, IFRAME px.
Please send me PM or I_buy_traffic{at}aol{dot}com a price, payment details and used method.


thx

if no google traffic,i think the best way to get traffic is blog commenting,and do article submitting, customize vendio and submit to get the huge traffic.

And how exactly are we to find the high quality blog with the really good content? Do a Google Search?

I know this was already mentioned once, but I have had success with certain products and events driving them from Craigslist. They are great for short bursts of concetrated visitors and leads.

Using Social Media and platforms like Facebook and others you can be sure that you are not using Google. The most opened site in the world after Google is also being used to get customers and interested people to your site. If you are not using Facebook then you are missing out on a great referral.

In my experience ezine soloads have been working quite well for me. The great thing about ezines aswell isvthat there very affordable and even free .

Some good traffic source has already been discussed here. It really boils down to diversification of traffic source, and diversification of your business. It may pay to do some offline gigs as well, assuming your business scales that way.

My best ways of getting traffic seem to have been directories, social bookmarking, article marketing (blasting it out with AMR). In that order. I was surprised to see all the directory links in my stats as I was skeptical when I first did it, but it has paid off.

Other than Google, social networks are great source of traffic. One of my website get very less traffic from Google but traffic seems to flooded in from social networks

...by PPC,Social networks

Maybe Bing and Yahoo will be good? Article marketing and video marketing too.

Find a "gatekeeper" that has an audience you'd like to reach. Make the "gatekeeper" look like a hero while skimming some leads (email opt-in) from their list/visitors.

Some Examples:

1. Write an ebook that appeals to their audience and give it to the gatekeeper to use in any way they'd like. Insert an "optional opt-in" for free future updates. Promise the gatekeeper that you'll promo their stuff anytime they want you to (JV of course).

2. Write a guest blog post that speaks highly of the "gatekeeper". Get specific permission to include an opt-in feature. Use aweber to generate a great lead capture page in minutes (see this video: Grow your email list WITHOUT a website! - YouTube )

3. Interview several "small fish" in the same niche (it's easy to track down small fish) and then once you've done several of these, approach the "big fish" with a long list of interviews and offer to GIVE IT TO THEM as content in exchange for an interview. Turn it all into a package or an ebook and do idea 1 above.

The win/win/win strategy is ALL I've ever used to build traffic and my list. Google can toy with their pagerank, algorithm and random whims all they'd like. I've NEVER cared. I've been saying that "SEO is for chumps" for years because I don't need it or rely on it at all. I just keep creating great content and partnering with great people.

I found the combo of YouTube + Twitter + Free eBooks (with my affiliate links) works rather well
