Ways To Get Free Web Site Traffic
How many ways can you get free web site traffic? Who knows,
but here are some to get you started. Hopefully there will
be one or two ways here that you haven't yet tried.
1. Submit your web site to search engines. Don't wait for them
to find you. You can automatically submit to 20 at
http://freewebsubmission.com.
You'll have to submit manually to Google
http://www.google.com/addurl.html
2. Directories. Do a search for niche directories for the
topic of your website. Just type in "directory + online
games," or whatever your site is about. There are also many
general directories that accept submissions for free. The
primary value of directories is not direct traffic, however.
It is the links that help your ranking (and therefore traffic)
with the search engines.
3. Forums. A great source of traffic for some sites. Talk
about things of interest to you, and get free traffic to
your web site (always sign off with a link). You may want to
link to subscription pages for newsletters or e-courses you
offer, to get maximum repeat visits from the traffic.
4. Free classifieds. There are many places that you can
advertise for free, although few of them seem to be of any
value. Test a little, and go with the ones that deliver.
5. Exchange Links. Exchanging links with other web sites can
get you free traffic in two ways: traffic from the site, and
traffic from the search engines, because the link helps your
ranking with them.
7. Give testimonials. Do you love an e-book or other online
product? Tell the author, and let her know she can use your
testimonial. Mention that you'd appreciate it if she left
the link to your site (under your name) active. Good testimonials
are valuable, and you've probably seen them with a name and
link attached.
8. Write articles. A great way to generate free web site traffic.
In fact, thats what this article is about, and I have to tell
you that there are at least ten more ways to get free traffic
in my newsletter. You may want to visit the site and sign up.
