How to Get Traffic To Your Website Using Only Free Methods

Ever wondered how to get traffic to your website with no budget by using only free methods?

Here are a few ideas for you to consider, you can adapt them as you see fit, remember my favourite, Don’t become a sheep, try different ideas see what works for you, these are only my ideas and I am always willing to listen new views.

• 1.Use online forums and communities by writing good quality material.

The good thing about getting traffic to your websites using forums and online communities is that the traffic that you get is targeted traffic. Forums and communities are the places where you find a certain group of people with common interest. You can discuss a lot of things about the niche that you represent or offer. Through constant communication, you’ll be able to build reputation for yourself. Once you establish your expertise and reputation in your niche, you’ll be among the first few persons who the communities will look for solutions for problems relating to that niche.

• 2. Create your own news- letter and participate in others

How about creating your own newsletter containing information about your products or service. Also you can do reviews, talk about what interests you, mark news and information. If you make interesting enough, more people will sign up for your newsletter and recommend it to other people. With that, it is not hard to imagine that your website traffic will increase tremendously. Also join other news- letters, make good constructive comments, if possible have a link back to your website.

• 3. Look for quality links.

Be careful on this subject. Things have change a lot in this area over the years. Google now penalise sites you blatantly break their rules.

• Beware of the links you control
• Be cautious with links that scale
• Don't ask for anchor text
• Don't link externally in the footer
• Avoid site-wide links
• Focus on distribution

One thing I would recommend doing is shifting from actively building links to more of a focus on distribution, because the more people read your content, the more natural links you're going to earn.

There is a huge correlation between getting readers for your content and link building. It's one of the best kinds of link building you can do. It's just getting your content out there to the right audience.

4. Content Marketing.

Article writing is another great way to get traffic to your websites. An interesting and informative article will attract people’s attention. In fact, article marketing is proven to be one of the most effective marketing tools to get more traffic to a website, plus it can also enhance your credibility as an expert in that field. For the purpose of article marketing, it is good to note that many sites offer free submission and posting of articles. So, if you are doing article marketing, be very sure that you include a link and a brief description about your website that will encourage and lead to people clicking on the link to go to your website. That’s exactly how you can get more traffic to your website for free.

All the above are free and while these methods do wonders, it does take time for you to see big results.
