FREE website traffic?

Free:
1. SEO (takes a long amount of time but depending on your niche and competitors you can achieve really good results)
2. Article writing (ask other people in your niche if you can write a guest article for their blog/website)
3. Social Media (if you post really good content you can get more and more users over time).

So far I didn't have any "worst" strategy so far, in my opinion there aren't any "bad" traffic sources, just not suitable ones for certain goals. But in general, buying traffic on sites like Fiverr etc. is normally a bad idea.

Hi Dprsunlimited,

One of the must useful lessons I've learned in marketing is that nothing of value is free. It's is going to cost you time, money, or both.

Forget about what is free and focus on what is profitable. If something is profitable it is way better than free. Profitable activities pay you which is better than free, wouldn't you agree?

the only best traffic source is GUEST BLOGGING when you do it well, every other traffic follows
When you look for influencers that have similar site to yours, you reach out to them and create an epic post for them, mustnt be articles; (you can do videos, podcast, images, infograhics, ebooks, then when they publish it on their site, you get a backlink ( building SEO traffic), they share it on social media ( you get SOCIAL SHARES and your contents go viral)
guest bloging must not be limited to only blogs but on other sites like FORUMS, FILE SHARING SITES, MAGAZINE SITES.
Forget SEO traffic, the people who rank on SEO are people with no SEO knowledge.
"SEO is something that happens, when you do eveything right"

The only free strategies that have ever worked for me are blogging and Facebook. With free strategies you have to have patience. It will take a while to build the skills and the following you need. I wouldn't bother with free direct advertising such as free classifieds. It is possible to get sales from things like that, but it's pretty rare and inconsistent from my experience.

I made about $35 in Adsense in one day with lots of traffic after someone shared my Wordpress post on Stumbleupon -- not sure how to replicate it.

Building organic traffic is the hardest work you'll ever put in to your website. With that being said, it's also the greatest investment of time and effort you can make.

Add your web site to the Chrome web store

The chrome web store is a fantastic source of free traffic and yet many webmasters are not taking advantage of it. It is very easy to add your web site to the Chrome Store and the traffic you can get is free and continuous. If you are not familiar of the chrome web store read my previous post which also includes a case study on traffic gains.

Hello there,

Utilizing SEO is so far a good way to get free website traffic, but the process is quite tedious. You can also use Facebook or other social networking sites to promote your website. Just make sure your website content is really good, engaging and valuable; that's the things that matter most to clients.

Thanks and best of luck

A popular method is to employ a technique called SEO. You will get highly targeted visitors to your site, as they typed their query into a search engine to find a solution for their problem. I better warn you now, it is not an easy job that once you are finished you can sit back and relax. Getting free web site traffic with SEO is a constant, continuous and systematic process.

Facebook has an option for you to post videos and picture where you can link your website to the post. You can do that for FREE.
But also if you have a budget you can boost your post for a cost. It depends on your daily budget, but it will definitely generate traffic to your website.

Best of luck!

I have experience with this situation and this is my strategy:

1. SEO, you can do On-Page strategy and Off-Page strategy. On-page strategy you can check with Frog SEO Spider (Free tools) and then you can optimize your keyword, image, etc in your website. Off-page strategy, you create backlink (the backlink is the link refer to your website) in guest blog, medium or something else.

Hello

You can get the traffic on your website with various SEO strategies and activities.

- Daily update social media channels i.e facebook, twitter, google+, linkedin and many more with fresh content. Use hash tags in the posts and also share your website products and services along with the content.

- You can post a blog, article and classified ads for you website. Also you can participate in group discussion in forums.

- If your website contains video, make sure to share the video on all the social channels and submit it on the video submission sites.

Find which of your pages are sitting on Google's second page and bump them on the top of SERP

First, you're gonna need to identify which of your pages are ranking in this range of positions. There are two ways (that I could think of) to do it - the long manual one and the quick convenient one that requires a SEO tool.

Manually:

1) go to Google Webmaster Tools
2) arrange your list of keywords by their Average Positions
3) scroll down until you see from 11-ths positions to 20-ies
4) run the ones you have identified with Keyword Planner to see their volume of searches (that is, if you still have this metric, of course) identify the optimal keyword for which we'll be further optimizing our pages for;

Conviniently:

1) Tools like Serpstat can breakdown your domain by pages and subdomains and show for which keywords and on which positions they are currently ranking for (http://savepic.org/8395068.png)
2) Filter results to show "Domain position for a keyword" from 11 to 20 (http://savepic.org/8452415.png). The tool also shows Volume so that eliminates the need to check each keayord manually.

Now further optimize these pages for keywords in this 11-20 gap using internal linking (with tsaid keywords as anchors), try to attain few more backlinks on them and push the form Google's 2nd into Google's 1st page.

HUGE amount of additional traffic.

Social media is and will be key for traffic and google also majority depends on social reputation of any website to make it higher rank.

- Content your websites on various other sites for the same niche.
- Use email marketing to hook up with individuals, and send them information about your niche.

One of the worst Free sources is Traffic Exchanges. I used to own one even. The flawed system is that everyone is joining with the intent to sell. I.E. no one is signing up looking to buy. The TE Owners are the only ones who benefit and then not many of them...
I would say some good free sources
1. Article writing/Blogging (generates Google and other Organic Traffic)
2. Social Media (Especially Pinterest)
3. Click Banking (trading list members with other list owners. You can find Facebook groups doing this)
4. Doing a joint venture give away special
5. Youtube video reviews

There are a lot of ways to get traffic to your website for free. I see most of them are already covered in this thread, but no one talked about Quora for example.
I've heard about this great strategy a few months ago and started using it just recently (It showed really good results, a couple of hundred sessions a week) I've found a great article about it in this Web Marketing guide, 6th chapter. It's all well explained, it goes really deep into the strategy and explains everything step by step.

In short, the thing about quora is that you have to build a good profile in a specific niche. After that just look for the questions that are related to your industry and provide an informative answer, so other people upvote it.

Would love to hear if anybody else had experience with this Quora tactic, please share

After having your blog running, you need to promote your site in order to get traffic and revenue also. There’re many ways to promote, for both free methods and paid methods.

Free methods such as: Doing SEO, Social Media Content sharing, Youtube Sharing, Facebook Content, G+, Pinterest,…and many other channels that give you free using and promotions

Paid methods such as: Doing SEM such as Google adwords, GDN, Solo ads, Facebook ads, banner ads,…

So it depend on your budgets that you will choose which methods that can give you the best effort, or you need to combine between free & paid methods in order to get the effective results

I hope this helps.

one free method that I saw a post about recently and may be considered common knowledge is launchjacking. Where you look on muncheye, jvzoo, or warriorplus, for products launching and ask for a review copy then make blog posts and youtube videos about that product. Informational more than selling. This free method can get you lots of extra cash...
