11 EASY WAYS TO GET FREE TRAFFIC

In this world you only have two types of assets: Money and Time.
The easiest way to drive traffic to your site is to buy it. But
if you are an Internet marketing beginner you probably don't have
much money to invest in traffic building. In that case, you will
need to invest your time.

The following traffic techniques are time consuming, but they are
100% free and will get you a fair amount of targeted traffic. If
your site is properly optimized for monetization, you will soon
be earning enough money to invest in buying traffic, and save
your precious time to build new money making websites.

So here are 11 surefire free traffic techniques:

This tip is so obvious it will not even be counted, but it is
often overlooked: submit your site to the major search engines
(Google, Yahoo, MSN) and to as many other search engines as you
can.

1. Use this proven Bum Marketing technique, write 5 to 10
articles and submit them to the free article directories. Of
course you must include a link to your site in the article itself
or in your bio box. The articles should be optimized for a
keyword your site is targeting.

2. Find blogs related to your topic and leave useful comments
with a backlink to your site. In the same way you could go to
answers.yahoo.com, and answer questions related to your site’s
topic. Off course put a link to your site in each of your
answers. Another thing you should consider is joining the most
popular forums that deal with your site's topic and becoming an
active poster. Include a link to your site in your signature.

3. This one can be very powerful. Write a press release about
your site and submit it to press release sites such as prweb.com.
If you are not familiar with press releases, take some time to do
a little research: a press release is not written like an
article.

4. If you are happy with a product or service you have used,
write an unbiased testimonial and trade it for a backlink to your
site.

5. Start a blog on blogger.com and a blog on wordpress.com, link
them to your site and submit them to the hundreds of free blog
directories. This will get you plenty of quality traffic as long
as you keep your blogs updated.

6. Try posting ads with a link to your site on all the free
classified ad sites you can find (such as craigslist.com). The
best ones will allow you to post a live link. But don’t neglect
the other ones. If your ad is well written, people will go out of
their way and type your url in their browser. Off course you must
post in the appropriate category.

7. An easy way to get extra free traffic is to add a link to your
site in your email signature.

8. Start a page on myspace.com and on any other high page rank
social bookmarking site you can find. In the same way, go to
Squidoo.com, open a few accounts, create a few lenses and link
them to your site.

9. Submit a viral video to youtube.com. You don’t really need any
video producing know-how as a simple PowerPoint slideshow with
some background music will do the job perfectly.

10. Search your main keywords on Google and see if you can
exchange reciprocal links with related websites that come up in
the top results.

11. You could write an ebook or a short report (say 10 to 20
pages), or find a product with giveaway rights that you can brand
with a link to your site. Then submit it to all the free ebook
directories you can find online.

This last tip is not free, but is worth the extra buck. Check out
the misspellings or variations of your domain name, or those of
your competitors. If you find a good available domain, grab it
and redirect the traffic to your site.

Now all this looks like a full time job! These techniques work,
but you don’t have to use them all at once. Just pick the one you
feel the best with and act now. Invest 30 minutes to an hour
daily in building your free traffic. Then step to your next
favorite technique and within a few weeks you should be earning
enough money to afford to buy traffic and concentrate your time
and efforts on building your online business.
