3 Top Ways to Get Free Traffic to Your Site

Great list but there are some missing details

SOCIAL MEDIA notes

1) Make sure you use DRAMATIC or EYE-CATCHING headlines or else your social media posts won't get much traction.

2) Make sure that you have your blog posts on AUTOPOST on Facebook and Twitter

YOUTUBE notes

1) Make sure you use long tail keywords with low competition and decent traffic and build videos for those.

2) Make sure the videos upsell the viewer or get the viewer to subscribe to your channel or click the link in the description

I just wonder which methods to create eye catchy video marketing.

Article marketing is not in the hunt now a days. They are good for getting some backlinks. Social media have got a huge impact in traffic and youtube too.

I would suggest posting in facebook groups and communities daily - say 3 different ones per day - just something helpful, not selling or spam. I have found that over time this has really started to build some traffic to my sites.

I just started putting videos on youtube. That has given me a lot more traffic than I thought it would for my site.

I would not say yahoo answers. My account was suspended recently for including links to my site. I'd been posting there for years without a hitch and then someone reported all my posts.

My top way is still google to get visitors by SEO and good rankings

1. JOINT VENTURES

2. Personal banner exchange with related sites (not banner exchange networks!).

3. Thank you page traffic exchange with your most successful competitors.

I find forums are the best way to go.

most of these things are already well known to website owner, but the things how wisely one use these seo techniques

Social Media

Youtube videos

web 2.0

From my modest internet experience so far I had nice success with regularly posting on forums related to the niche you are interested in. I stick to it for now because it gives me a nice traffic stream. That way you can have lots's of free traffic and I warmly recommend that method to everybody. Just do it regularly every day and you'll be surprised with results! I heard posting on others blogs is also a good source of traffic but I haven't done it yet. Will start to do it soon and will see how it goes with that .
Good luck !

1. Forum Marketing - contribute to forum discussions, answer people's questions
2. Article Marketing - submit your articles to sites like Ezinearticles and Goarticles, these authoritative sites get a lot of internal traffic from people looking for information. You usually get to put two "self serving" links in your resource box
3. YouTube - youtube is the #2 search engine in the world, enough said

Yeah, I like forum marketing too. Each post creates a backlink to your site if you have a siggy. I post on 3 to 5 forums regularly, and use an excel spreadsheet to keep track of where I last posted. I find that more than 5 forums is too much of a hassle. It's a slow process but it builds over time and have always worked very well.

The Ways by which you can the free traffic on your website is do forums,blog commenting,article writing,join the social media like facebook,twitter.

I like social media and YouTube a lot. I also like offline marketing of my websites, a lot.

They are three good points but they need some more, otherwise they will go fast down to the drain. Everything nowadays need efforts and a bit of technique.

I will focus on social and video marketing, leaving articles in second place, because after Google Penguin and Panda update, they just provide backlinks.

Try to automatically post all your blog articles on Facebook and Twitter, and build up a page for your blog. Try also to use quality images on your posts, and you will attract more attention. Right now I'm selling a lot of products via Facebook, and I've around 1500 followers. Consider their conversion has passed my list conversions!

Videos are also a good thing, but you must target long tail keywords with some traffic to win the battle with the other millions of people. Try to use that long tail keyword for title, and choose other two to place in your description. Now YOutube has deactivated the url insertion in description, but you can use some cool ideas to put it anyway. People know it's easy to copy and paste!

Thanks and see you soon!

Here's a SECRET for Twitter--piggyback HASHTAGS. Find related hashtags and hitch a ride on it with very SHOCKING (but accurate) titles. The key is to get them to click. They won't click if your title isn't shocking AND acts as a filter. Remember, you only want clicks from people in your target audience. You filter with your title and your hashtags.

I still like to use a 2 for 1 system. Its a good ole fashioned linking strategy that brings free traffic quickly and creates an authoritative image for me and my main website....

1. After my initial site seo groundwork is laid out for my main keyword, I will create web 2.0/blogs using easier longtail and related keywords for site titles - example. if my main keyword is 'bloggingseo', I would create free blogs / web 2.0 with url's like 'howtogetfreeblogtraffic.wordpress.org' or 'squidoo.com/seooptimizedcontentforblogs' (neither are mine, just examples). Create around 3 sites with 3-5 150-250 word posts and link directly to main site page(s) ofcourse.

2. Then use basic linking strategy- articles, free press releases, profile links, even videos that link only to these longtail blogs.

3. Bookmark and ping everything.

4. Add more links consistently (and slowly).

I usually get free organic traffic very quickly - and eventually my main site will see large numbers of free search engine traffic ,ranking highly for a number of keyword variations.

There are obviously other steps and a long term approach that I use to appease google, but that is a very basic strategy, Im sure most of ya'll already know this one, figured I would just throw it out there

Free traffic only works well once you've established a trustworthy and long lasting brand. It's not enough to generate 5 leads a day from free forum traffic or social media sites. It's just not going to help you to build a massive list and make sales.

It makes the most sense to either invest in paid traffic (if you can afford it), or write books on Kindle.

I would say:

1) Forums

2) Blogging

3) Youtube

These 3 strategies work very well for me.

How about Email Marketing as a free way . Its seem effective as well but no one mention on it .
I believe Youtube, Social Media able to generate huge traffic but article writing , i believe article writing work more well in generate quality backlink compare to getting free traffic.

I've been seeing some results from forum marketing and commenting on blogs. Right now it's about half and half. These are also the only 2 traffic sources that I have seriously tried. I figure it's better to master one and then move on than to have a bunch that I'm failing at.

My strategy for using blogs is kinda different. I'm subscribed to a couple blogs that regularly have guest posts. When I see a guest post I like, I head over to the poster's website and add their feed to google reader. I have a ton of blogs that I post comments on.

I'm not doing it strictly for traffic, though. These blogs are in my niche, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible. The fact that I'm leaving a comment really is just an afterthought after reading a helpful article.

I also never spam, and never leave a link in the body of my comment. I just have a link to my website as a hyperlink in my name.

Instagram marketing is pretty good too. The key is to be followed. It works similar to Twitter promotions. Get lots of followers. Broadcast your branded photo or url marked photo and have your followers viralize it. It works best for branding instead of direct url click traffic.

Has anybody had much success with using Pintrest for traffic?

Whatever it is you do, make it of quality.

Personally, a tested way to driving (converting) traffic to your website is high quality videos, guest blog articles, and general articles. Social media also works great, if you know which to network to use (cough, Pinterest, Tumblr cough cough).

Craigslist
Youtube
Facebook

Those 3 websites combined, equal a LARGE segment of the internet imo.
So if you can't get traffic from them, then you're marketing sucks. =]

But seriously, thats all we really focus on, and so far our business is doing great.
More recently our keywords have started hitting page 1 on google too. But we need to move up a bit higher to see that traffic. Once we have all 4 dominated, we will definitely need to hire more people (its an offline biz).

I'll give four for good measure:

1. Paid traffic: fast, measurabe, negotiable, and scaleable.

2. Free publicity.

3. Strategic alliances.

4. Viral software.

Hi seapor! Excellent post. I love it I might also add pinterest to the list of social media.

Generating traffic has a lot to do with testing and experimenting with different traffic techniques. Doing more of what works and less of what doesn't.

Thanks a million for sharing!
Kind regards

On wikihow they let you write an article (include your site in source) and if you have a youtube video they will let you embed it and collect monetization.

Stack the Cheese Plzzz

sounds nice .
the whole procedure is summerised well but one must not forget blog posting ,blog commentsand off cource the forum posting.
these are good procedures aswell.

try this for some more traffic traffup. net

Try a variety of methods and then zoom in on the ones that are giving you results. Are the testing your squeeze pages and using a different one for each traffic method?

One method might work well for someone else but not necessarily work well for you. Find your own best methods.

For Free Traffic, I like to focus on

1. SEO.
2. Youtube Marketing
3. Social Media.

To attract traffic is not easy. You must work hard.

Another great approach that works is YAHOOGROUPS. It is a series of public email/newsletter lists. The key is to get on many lists which will allow you to contribute information. Recruit people to your own list using this contributed content. It's a numbers game-to hit 10,you may need to target 100.

Paid add banners, seo are two of the best traffic resources along with your list traffic

I prefer buying traffic as it is very targeted if you learn how to test with a network. Also there are ways to get traffic at extremely low $ per click eg. 0.001 Take a look at my signature.

nothing new!! everyone know about these ways

YouTube is always a great option to get easy traffic. If you can follow some basic video creation Tips and get a persuading video that goes viral, you end up with Traffic that you will be amazed!

Another variation of article marketing is guest posting. Posting on high traffic blogs can be very effective.

Social networks marketing definitely looks like the future of marketing.

I think Facebook has helped me the most, but it seems sites like that and YouTube are becoming crammed with people doing the same thing.

It was a great help to avoid being block and look like spammers. Thank you will keep in mind during marketing the product.
