Make Money Fast With Free Traffic

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Let me guess. You are looking for ways to make money fast with free web traffic, right? About a week ago, I noticed that someone had taken the time to put Post-It notes with the url of their website all over telephone and lamp posts. The would not be my primary choice, but the message is that there are several free ways to attract website traffic. Below, we will discuss six of these ways.

 

1. Online Classified Ads

Craig's List, BackPage, and Kijiji are the three which come to mind right away. However, you can simply search the terms "free advertising" or "free ads", and you will find that there are many places which enable you to advertise for free. Not all of them will bring in the same amount of traffic, therefore, you should focus on regularly using the ones which do deliver.

 

2. Link Exchanges

Link exchanges with other websites in complimentary niches will help you you get free traffic in two ways: traffic directly from the other site, and traffic from the search engines, because the link helps your ranking with them. Find sites which have a theme similar to yours, and send out nice e-mails suggesting or requesting a link exchange. Make sure that the website is getting at least a comparable amount of traffic to your website.

 

3. Post in Forums

This can be a great source of traffic for your website. You search for topics or posted questions which you have knowledge about, and of course relate to your website, and give lucid answers. Eventually, you will gain a following, and people will visit your website because they will view you as an expert in your field.  If you link to subscription pages for newsletters or e-courses you offer, you will get repeat visits from the traffic. However, make sure that you do not spam.  This will likely lead to you being kicked out. However, true participation makes a relevant link okay in most forums.

 

 

 

4. Submit to Directories

First, conduct a search for niche directories which are relevant to the theme of your website. Then, type in the topic of your website in the search box on the directory. Most general directories accept submissions for free. Keep in mind that the value of directories is not in the direct traffic, because you will not get much. Rather, the value is in the links, which help your search engine rankings, and therefore traffic, with the search engines.

 

5. Write and Submit Testimonials

If you love an e-book, or other online product, tell the author, and let them know that they can use your testimonial. Of course, mention that you would appreciate it if they left the link to your site, which should be strategically placed under your name, active. Good testimonials are valuable, and you have probably seen them with a link, or at minimum, a business name, under the testimonial.

 

6. Article Submission

Hands down, article submission is one of the best ways to generate free website traffic. You need to realize that an article is valuable because of the "resource box," or "about the author box" at the bottom. In this box, there is always a link to your website, or at least there should be. If I leave you intrigued, and wanting more, you will probably click the link to discover the rest of the story. This is a great way to generate free traffic.

 

If you use this combination of strategies to generate free website traffic, you will quickly increase your sales, which is nothing more than increasing your ability to make money fast.
