How To Get Free Traffic

By:


Online marketing is no different to offline marketing. Every kind of business, online or offline, needs traffic. Offline it is often location that gets people into shops, restaurants, garages, etc. Online it doesn't matter where your site is but you do need traffic.

Quite simply without traffic your business is dead in the water. And the best website traffic in the world is targeted customers who want to buy from you. Do not spend anything on paid advertising when you first start marketing your business. You are almost an odds on certainty to lose money. I know because I've done it. Some marketers insist it is the way to get fast instant results. Okay, you will get quick results but you'll most likely go broke first before you make enough sales to pay for it. Let's be honest: most of us starting out have nothing or nearly next to nothing. All you require are tips on how to drive free targeted traffic to your website.

If hard work is not your thing then don't read any further. Never ever forget that the lifeblood of your online business is traffic. And to get traffic you need to be constantly marketing your business. Set aside time to slowly build your business. Work through the list I provide. What I've set out is a staged programme to help you drive traffic to your site. Yes, it involves work and yes, your results won't be immediate BUT you will be building a business that will grow and grow and grow. If you aim to use all the resources that successful online marketers use you will get free traffic and it will not e subject to the problems that Google often causes well established sites when Google decides to change its own rules for website ranking. And it does this all the time.

Below is a list of what you should be doing:

1 SEO
2 Article writing
3 Viral marketing
4 Traffic Exchanges
5 Blogging
6 Craig's List
7 Youtube
8 Squidoo
9 MySpace
10 Twitter
11 Facebook
12 List Building Network
13 Signature files
14 Press releases
15 Affiliate programs
16 Joint Ventures
17 Ad swaps

I'll deal with each point in detail in further related articles. In the meantime start doing some research as one of the best and easiest ways to get free traffic is by writing articles like this one.

However, a word of warning: never, ever write directly about your website, particularly if you are trying to sell something from it. Turn it around. If you are selling luxury chocolate write an article about what the best chocolate should consist of. What should it have as its major ingredients? From there you can do a series of articles all about chocolate. Brainstorm! You should have only one link to your site and that should be in your resource box. Behave as an expert on quality chocolate.
