    Traffic from search engine is really targeted traffic to your website, believe me so you should use "SEO" in your list too.

      Absolutely! My highest conversion rates are from search engines. You really need to focus on search engine optimization.

      Social networks like Facebook and Twitter is also another great way to get free traffic, but you'll need to put some time into it and get likes or followers.

    above methods all work. Free methods of generating traffic are centered primarily on content. In fact, if you can become a master at just one traffic method you're comfortable with, and apply that method consistently, you will start getting more traffic than you can handle.

      Blogging with RSS feed syndication is a great way to get targeted traffic for free. The blog can be on a free platform and links in the posts can point the traffic any where you want. Obviously, the higher your quality of post, the more success will be had with traffic generation.

      Use the blog posts to create pdf files for content sites,or as the basis of video scripts, or create a series of posts and then make them into an ebook to give away for more free traffic...

  • Hey Jeff,

    Here are a few ideas to get traffic:
    1. Guest Posting
    2. Web 2.0
    3. Search Engine Optimization
    4. Blog commenting
    5. Forum Backlinks
    6. *Writing Good Headlines* - Important to intrigue and keep your readers to your articles
    7. Social Networking - Facebook , Twitter
    8.YouTube
    9. Directories
    10. Social Bookmarking Sites

    There are more ways but I can't remember them at the moment. I'm just naming these at the top of my head.

    I think writing good headlines is a tip that many IMs foresee, after all, writing a good headline is like a magnet to grab peoples' attention. It has good Emotional Marketing Value and probably will have a strong impact to your clients if the content is good.

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I'll be more than happy to answer your questions!

    When it come to free marketing or free traffic, you got to do a lot of work by your own which could be time consuming and the result will be slower too. You can consider coop advertising to draw traffic and it is pretty cheap compare to paying the ads charges individually.

    Jeff, a specific blog commenting tactic that I use is to identify a bunch of very high traffic blogs in a niche (usually nofollow links but you want some of them in your backlink profile anyway), subscribe to their RSS feeds with a reader (I use My Yahoo - not great but too busy to change it at the moment) and then monitor several times a day for a new post there.

    Then try to be the first - or one of the first - commenters there with a quality response (of course) and you will usually get clickthroughs and potentially some SEO benefit.

    A third benefit to this tactic is that the blogger will spot your (good) comments and therefore is more likely to respond positively to your request for a guest blog post at some point in the future.

    twitter, facebook, reddit and stumbleupon are technically considered social media and he has social media on his list already... I guess it's good to name off each site individually though. There is also digg, and many more... those are the best ones though.

      Thanks, am using all of them though, and doing blog commenting too. But not getting enough traffic. Can you say some more social media sites that can do well as stumble upon and reddit. Since they can got access to large number of categories not like Facebook fanpages and twitter.

    I appreciate those ideas of traffic building but there are some silly mistakes which can make decrease the number of traffic in our sites. I have came across a blog which was titled "Increase your traffic without SEO". After reading that blog, I followed the step described in that blog. I did get the results.

      Yes, I am also a big fan of blogging. A lot of folks mentioned blog commenting but not a lot of people mentioned actually having their own blogs. I think having your own blog actually forces you to learn how to create great content from scratch (as opposed to blog commenting where you are just working off of someone else's content).

      If you can create really great blog posts on your own blog that people actually want to read, then you can really master almost any other traffic method because you will be able to create the quality content that is the key to almost all of the best methods.

    1. Social Media - LinkedIn is my favorite.
    2.Ezine and newsletters
    3.Question-and-answer websites, such as Yahoo answers, E-how, and etc.
    4. Re-purpose content
    5. Google Alerts- you can easily to learn more about successful people online and how they get their traffic.

    Hope it helps,

    One more thing. You are probably ALREADY GETTING KEY TRAFFIC if your site is older than 6 months. What is KEY TRAFFIC? This is keyword targeted traffic that don't have much competition. Scour your stats and cross reference them against google's keyword selector tool's traffic index. Make sure to use exact match.

    The easiest way to get traffic is by just working on it and not thinking about it all the time.

    Most marketers know what they should be doing but are incapable to take action.

      This is such a GREAT point!!! I sat down yesterday - again - and made up a new daily schedule - again - to follow that incorporates ...

      keyword research
      article distribution
      blog posts
      guest posts
      video
      social media
      pinterest
      solo ads (as funds allow)

      My new motto is to simply DO SOMETHING EVERY DAY. I had to realize that until I get my passive income streams actually moving, I need to follow a schedule or I get all lost and out of sync, forget stuff, get sidetracked, spend too much time on YouTube and watch everyone's new videos, and... and ...

      So I spent some time listening to Tony Robbins and decided okay - I have GOT to crack down because FREE traffic IS out there - but unless you have a nice bankroll to get started, you WILL have to do some of your own work. And we don't have that "bankroll" yet so stop dawdling around and DO SOMETHING EVERY DAY.

    I'll give you one of my BIG traffic secrets. I use testimonials, I find new products coming out, regardless of the niche, and I contact the website owner and ask them if they would like to feature my testimonial. I give them the testimonial, my website URL and a link to my picture they can use. I make it as easy for them as possible and let them know having a testimonial on their page increases trust and credibility for them especially if they don't have any. KEY: You can even find some of the most high trafficked sites out there, I remember I gave a testimonial to traffic swarm around when it first came out, I was getting like 2500 visitors a week for couple years, until they changed their site layout, but it was WORTH it. It may take some time, but it's LONG-TERM and helps your brand also

      That's a great approach. But probably works for certain niches better than others.

    The only free traffic (which is not really free) is the one that come through search engines. Social Media is nothing more than away of optimization as far as I am concerned.

    You missed SEO on the OP... however, I definitely would not call it easy, not for beginners who those who are new to the realities of how volatile SEO actually is. However, after a few months of practicing and really understanding what works and what doesn't, SEO is one of the best ways to go long term.

    I'm a big advocate of forums; especially when you build a positive reputation for yourself and really help to contribute to that particular community. When people love you and trust you, they'll make up excuses to give you their business.

    For the IM niche, hosting private giveaways works really well to build your list, thus getting free traffic by sending an email!

      This is a good idea to BULK UP your primary list. BUT you have to filter that list first to make sales. You have to keep using tighter funnels with increasing hurdles to generate sales.

    Best FREE traffic I have seen and the best ( besides SEO ) conversions are on Youtube, ( video is amazing! ) Facebook pages, groups etc and and other Video Websites!

    Of course it still isnt exactly "FREE" because it will cost you your time!

      I would recommend you to try SEOing with "Curation".
      You don't need to write your own articles or posts in your blog site, but you just need to find good articles related to your niche from reliable sources (like ezines or high PR sites), add a heading of aprox 50 words of your own at the top of the selected article and a similar footer at the end of the article. That's a "curated" article.
      You can also add your images or videos.
      You just have to mention the author of the article and you CAN'T CHANGE a single word of the original article.
      Don't know why, but Google loves curated articles.
      Try Instant Content Curator Pro (ICC Pro) of Hugh Hitchcock. He is a nice guy.

          Hi icoachu,
          As I said, Google fully accepts curated articles (Panda & Penguin included), if they are posted in your blog as described (header, footer, no changes in original article, etc).
          You can search content curation in Google, or better, you can find a good explanation about this thing in the sales letter of WSO Instant Content Curation Pro of Hugh Hitchcock that you may find in this Forum. All I know about curation was mainly learned in ICC Pro (I'm not an affiliate...)
          Good luck.

            Well, Google Penguin has little to do with content. Panda, however, is mostly about content quality. What you seem to be suggesting is that people just republish articles whole hog with a header and a footer. REAL curation actually breaks apart the original content and discusses it piece by piece and it also curates other sources within the same page. With all that effort, why not just link to the original within fresh text?

              Sir,
              I will not go any further with this issue. I have no need to get involved with you in an academic discussion about curation, in this case digital curation.
              There are some good info products developed for IM content curation that work similarly as mentioned. I just tried to give in this thread a simple advice about an easy way to get free traffic.

    Get some business cards printed and add your website address. These cards don't have to be the most expensive ones and can be given out to people you know or meet you feel would be interested in what you have to offer.

    Put your website address on your vehicle if the name is descriptive enough to generate interest.

    Type any keyword, product or service in Google. You will get some video links on top, they attract your attention and you are more likely to click them first.

    Thats my point is, video marketing is effective and remarkable source to get free traffic. Also, you can trust on article marketing.

    .... very engaging content... such as images, e-books (especially those valuable and free ones), infographics, etc..

    it helps too if they are viral in the sense that when someone interested in the topic sees that viral image would be able to share it to his/her FB wall (for instance) and then the next viewer would also share it to his/her wall and then the whole world recognizes that it's from your website... and boom... you've got lots of traffic already..

      Regarding social bookmarking and directories, make sure you use only clean lists. There are too many outsourcers and list providers out there that have 404 pages and dropped domains on their lists. Total waste of time.

        Offline promotion can be any or all of this stuff:
        • business cards
        • flyers
        • brochures
        • printed bookmarks
        • print classified ads
        • direct "snail" mail (letters and postcards)
        • personal presentations - invite people to your house or rent a banquet room and put on a PowerPoint presentation
        • TV commercials (if you're rather wealthy)
        • radio ad spots (ditto above)
        • business expos - I've done a couple of these
        • local networking meetings
        • Chamber of Commerce mixers
        For printed materials like business cards and flyers, keep them handy next to regular envelopes, priority envelopes or shipping boxes. Every single time you have to put something - anything - in the mail, drop in a flyer and business card.

        I don't know if that's what you're looking for but those are traditional and proven ways of using offline promotion. And yes, your website or blog URL gets printed on everything.

      Also, we have a saying in the office here, "A press release a day keeps the doldrums away!"

      Yes for our main niche (which is not the IM niche I might add) we do 1 press release a day, and the results are simply incredible.

        How does that work? I mean, I've done press releases but they were only when some landmark event was happening or something. For instance, I did a press release when I changed my domain name; same company, different name. I did a press release when I brought two lines of the same product under the same company. I also did a press release when I expanded the store and updated the order form.

        And then a press release announcing a contest. Not that the press release helped. I launched it over the summer and not one freaking entry. The entry closes on Halloween so I won't have any winners. Yeah well... saves on shipping. ROFL

        But anyway, what do you put in a press release that goes out every day? Does your "niche" change that often? I'd really like to know what I'm missing because I've never heard of issuing press releases on a daily basis. :confused:

        Thanks!

    A Big Tip:


    I use this tip daily.

    Go to youtube and find videos for your keyword. Find videos with lots of traffic and with no link in the description.

    Contact the owner of the channel, and offer them a generous commission to promote your product like 75% commission. Its a win win. They earn money by promtng your offer and you get traffic and commissions on a daily basis.

    This can give you a lot of traffic, build your list and send you daily income on complete auto pilot.
