Getting Free Traffic

You have posted web pages right? Realize that it is pointless to try if you get some good traffic. You have absolutely no money for expensive advertising campaigns. In fact, the advertising budget is virtually nonexistent. Read on to discover some simple methods to get good free traffic.

A good SEO

It can not be emphasized enough. Good SEO is your starting point for any free advertising campaign. Before you even consider any other methods for free traffic, get your website user and search engine friendly. Put on the quality of content according to your website. Make your content interesting, fresh and unique to users and search bots will come crawling. If the word gets around that your content is great, webmasters voluntarily link to your website. This one-way linking will increase your link popularity, search engine rankings and get you a good free traffic. Make sure your site is well designed, HTML is clean and supple, your pages load quickly and there are no dead links. Your users should be able to get what they want within 3:00 to 4:00 clicks. Avoid excessive use of graphics and animations unless absolutely necessary. I do not recommend the use of pop-ups to most users irritated by them.

articles

Writing articles is another great way to get free traffic. Webmasters are always looking for fresh, quality articles to put on their website. When you write an article, you describe a little about yourself and your website in the source or author bio box. It is in this box you are allowed to put a link back to your site. Submitting these articles to article directory sites. If your article is relevant and exciting, webmasters will put it on their website. That way you can improve the link popularity of getting one way link back to your site and free traffic from readers who read your article. Write articles that relate to your website. For example, if you have a website on growing roses, write an article that has something that goes with growing roses. Send this article to as many article directories and relevant websites as possible.

Forum

every niche on the Internet has a lot of forums. Do a Google search and find relevant ones in your niche. Join these forums as a member and contribute to the community by making useful and thoughtful posts. You are allowed to put a link in your signature line. It also counts toward your link popularity as search engines and index posts. Other forum members can click on your link to visit your site. A word of caution - every forum has different rules, especially when it comes to relationships. Make sure you read and listen to them at any time. If you just go and put up a link, you will be banned almost immediately.

Link Exchange

great granddaddy of free traffic, link exchanges are still very relevant and effective today. Contact sites that are in a similar niche as your own. Offer to exchange links with these places. A word of caution - choose sites that you link to carefully. Avoid linking to spammy, black-hat sites with questionable content and themes. Make sure that these sites are not banned by major search engines.

Newsletters

not only need to get a continuous stream of new visitors to your web site, you must make sure you keep the old back vremena.Najbolji all the way to do this is by providing a fresh and valuable content via the bulletin system. Put in a newsletter on your web site and invite visitors to subscribe to the newsletter you can e-mail to make it a weekly or monthly. You can put some content, some special offers, ads and link back to your site in your newsletter every time you e-mail out. They also provide an incentive or a reason to click on your link and visit your page. In this way, you remind your visitors of your website.

Send directories

There are many directories available on the web that provide free ads or links. Some are general, while others specialize in a particular niche. Choose the relevant one and send a link or advertisement on them. Make sure you select quality directories that are indexed by search engines. This way you will get a one-way link back to your site. You can benefit from getting free traffic and improve link popularity.

Email this Page

Another great but simple idea is to add "Send this page" feature to your website. This is a simple form in which the visitor fill name and e-mail address of another person that he / she wishes to recommend your site. You can set to automatically format e-mail a link to your website to this person.
