Free Traffic Tips and Ideas

If you have a website or blog then you will always want more traffic. This article will give you some ideas on getting traffic and one-way links back to your sites.

Although there is no cost involved, you will have to commit some time to see results. It's up to you how far you want to go.

Article marketing is a great way to get traffic. If you haven't written articles before then I suggest you start.

It isn't as hard as you may think and gets easier with each article written. You will be surprised how easy it is to do once you begin.

The articles you write should be interesting and informative with a catchy headline.

Submit your articles to some of the top article directories and include a "Call to Action" with a link back to your site in your author's bio box.

Another way to receive traffic is by making real comments on blogs in your niche. Be sure to not leave cheesy comments such as, "Great post. Keep it up". That is just spamming to get a link back to your site and the blog's owner will see right through you.

Leave an interesting comment that will help someone out or inspire someone.

Submit your RSS feeds to RSS directories. That can boost your traffic and may provide some link juice.

Yahoo Answers is a great way to get traffic. Just answer questions related to your niche. Be sure to make your answer the best one. This way you receive the benefits while helping someone out.

Other ways to boost your traffic is by posting on forums. Just use common sense and be real. If you give good advice then you will gain respect and gratitude. Others will see you as an expert if you continue using these techniques.

Start a Squidoo lens on the topic of your website. Have interesting articles posted with links back to your sites. Add pictures to make it more appealing.

Press releases are another great way to attract traffic. If you haven't written press releases before then just search for "How to write a press release". There are several articles and templates online at your disposal.

Then write it and submit it to the PR sites. Be sure to make it newsworthy.

Don't forget about social book marketing with sites such as Digg and Socialmarker. If you add in social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook, then you can really build your traffic.

One last way to increase your traffic is by placing classified ads. Use sites like craigslist.org and usfreeads.com.

Remember that no matter which technique you use, always make quality posts without spamming. Earn their respect and you will receive your rewards.

Use an attention-getting headline with a posting that will help your potential customers, and bring you loyal clients for years to come.

Google will be happy as well to see all those links pointing to your site and will reward you.

This all adds to your success and bottom line.

So get busy!
