3 Tips For Free Traffic

In the world of Internet Marketing traffic is the life blood. The more traffic you get exponentially increases your ability to make sales. Achieving this is not always so easy, so here are three methods for getting free traffic to your site.

The first thing you can do is add a signature to your forum posts as well as in your emails. In forums, there is often the ability to add a link to your site through the your signature. Each forum software typically has its own code which will allow you to create a hyper link to your own site. Something to avoid however is creating a crazy wild signature full of colors and large fonts. You will have the forum administrator all over you in no time. The most successul approach is to create a simple signature with a catchy title or a call to action and your link.

Be sure to find the most popular forum sites in your niche. Once you become a member, make up to fifteen posts and then add your signature with a link back to your site. It is important to have your link connect to an offer of a free report in order to bring some value to those who choose to subscribe to your newsletter.

Another great tip for creating free traffic is through social networking sites(called web 2.0)which have become massively popular. Many ask, what is web 2.0. My brief explanation is that it is user driven content rather than content created by businesses. What is important about these sites is they rank well with the search engines. Currently, the three hottest sites are Squidoo, Hub Pages and Twitter.

It is important to ensure you place valuable, content rich pages on each of these sites. Be sure to include keywords which will enhance your search engine results. This does not mean you want to stuff your content with illogically placed words. Search engines will actually penalize you for keyword stuffing. So when you create your content write logically and place the keywords appropriately throghout your information.

The last, but perhaps the most important aspect to your free traffic strategy is the use of video. Whether it's home made, a Camtasia screen cast or some other type of video, they get views. Video has emerged as the most important medium on the internet and it is vital that you include it in any traffic generation strategy. Certainly it goes without saying the most popular video site online remains to be YouTube, so familiarize yourself with the process of adding videos.

I have tried to outline three basic strategies for generating free traffic to your site. Use signatures for posts and emails, get on to social networking sites and create some amazing YouTube Videos. You will be amazed at the results and the increase in your income.

People Getting Rich Online - Niche Research

How's that list coming along? You will recall in the first part of this series I covered getting a list together of ideas for your site or blog niche. Hopefully you have a good sized list of general categories. The next steps involve narrowing the keywords and then doing some supply and demand research. There are many keyword tools out there. I like to use Overture's because it's free and easy. Keep in mind that the numbers from Overture are usually inflated — sometimes a little sometimes a lot. They fudge the numbers by counting like queries — fly and flies or affiliate and affiliates get counted as the same query. Remember — they make more money convincing their prospective advertisers that a search term is popular. So plug in one of the general search terms from your list. I'm going to try dogs.
