5 Free Traffic Methods You Must Be Using

By Christopher Stigson

Most people who start an online business struggle with 1 thing mainly, traffic. They have no problem getting a website set up, or buying a website from somebody else, but when it comes time to actually market that website they are clueless.

In this article you are going to hear about five of my favorite methods for attracting massive amounts of free traffic without any investment... You will not be using PPC, Banners or buy any more links from unrelated websites!

#1 - Article Submission - A great way, which many think is not effective is article marketing. You can greatly increase your exposure and search engine rankings as well as boost your credibility with article marketing.


#2 - Video Submission - Another method I use all the time is creating and submitting short videos to video sharing sites in order to attract the attention of my target market. A good short, valuable video can do wonders when you then tell them to go visit your website for more information.

#3 - Forum Marketing - Does your niche have a forum with 100,000 people in it? Well, you better be there to interact with them and share your knowledge. You are sure to see some great results from being active in the biggest forums in your niche.

#4 - SEO - The best and most common way to drive free traffic is to search engine optimize your website to get free targeted traffic from the search engines, without any middle man! That means a lot of work on backlinks and onpage optimization. With a little bit of effort, and greater effort than you competitors you'll see your website climb in the Search Engines.

#5 - Social Marketing - A great method that many people do not understand how to use is social media marketing. You should be interesting and fun, while hanging out at the biggest websites, such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and having a blog. Grab the attention of the people and redirect them to your website for great results.

Those are just some of the ways to get free website traffic, but there are tons more. You might want to check out some more websites online to learn more about traffic!
