How to get free traffic – Tracking Traffic – Vid 10.wmv
http://smallbusinessblogging.com Serious about free traffic?! Watch all 10 vids “How to” series getting free traffic : SEO, RSS, Articles Writing and Submission, Video Marketing, Web 2.0, Yahoo Answers, StumpleUpon, Social bookmarks and Traffic tracking. IMPORTANT READ TEXT BELOW AS WELL
Video 10 is about using Free Traffic Tracking.
These videos aim to show any newbie and even the more experienced all the possible ways of generating free traffic that has been proven to work. Not all marketers use all the methods and many only focus on 2 or 3 strategies.
These videos are not promotion but are aimed at providing insight into free traffic methods you can explore.
Forget about the bullshit the ninjas and guru promote about instant and millions of free traffic in an instant, it does not exist
You have to choose, or decide on a traffic generation method, implement it and get good at it. If one strategy does not work for you, try another. Some methods are more successful in some niche markets than others.
There are also the Social Networking strategies that involve FaceBook and Twitter and MySpace.
Video10 is about Free Traffic Tracking. Targeted traffic is what we are all after. Targeted traffic is traffic that in all likely hood is ‘buying” traffic. When we have implemented some of the preceding free traffic strategies, and start enjoying fee traffic, we need to know where this traffic originates from.
Even if you are using only one strategy, you still need to know how visitors are moving around on your site and where they are clicking.
This is where Google analytics provides a powerful free tool that is able to track and report on the every move a site visitor makes on our site. Armed with this information we are able to tweak and change strategies depending on what the analysis reveals.
Again with WordPress, installing this code is as easy as typing your name9well not that simple but not complicated either).
There is still the off page factor like linking. This is where I have a massive gift for you.
Come to my site and see how I took a blot onto page #1 in 6 weeks (9 million). Less than 100 quality links is all it took. I will give you all the links you need.

How to Get Free Targeted Traffic to Your Website
Traffic is vital to the success of your internet business but you do not need to spend thousands of pounds on pay-per-click advertising, solo ezine ads or email blasts to generate it.
There are literally hundreds of ways that you generate FREE traffic to your opt-in or squeeze page. The founding principal in all of your activity is to “leave a trail”. Wherever you go, you need to be leaving the link to your site, your URL, everywhere.
A good place to begin is by placing well-written Classified Ads on sites like UsFreeads.com, Craigslist.com, Vivastreet.com, gumtree.com.
You can then start a Blog using either WordPress.com or Blogger.com. Both are free to join, easy to set up and easy to post to. You should always put your URL at the end of your blog entries and try to post something every day. Another way to maximise Blogs is by finding other blogs in your niche and posting to these also. Again, leaving your URL at the end of each entry.
Get involved in forum marketing. Find groups in your industry sector and get involved. You can find some good ones at Warrior.com, Yahoo Groups, Homebasedbusiness.com and so on. An important point here, you need to take a few weeks to build up some trust and credibility with these forums. Make some thoughtful posts, join the community and add some value. Don’t just spam the heck out of the members with your business opportunity and URL. It will get you nowhere and hurt you in the long run. Onve the members trust you and know you, you can add thousands of subscribers to your list by posting useful information with links to your opt-in page included.
Your next tactic is Article MArketing. Boring I know but a highly efficient way of generating targeted traffic to your site. It also generates thousands of backlinks to your site. Take the time to write ten or so articles and submit them for free to different article directories. Some of the best ones are ezinearticles.com, articledashboard.com, goarticles.com, articlesbase.com and squidoo.com. These all get trawled by the internet search engines on a regular basis which can get them indexed and ranked highly. The key to article writing is consistency as over time it can have a snowball effect with traffic coming from all directions.
Social networks are another excellent way to drive traffic to your site if you join the social network groups and forums for your market. Build a profile and homepage relevant to your market and then post links there back to your opt-in page, invite people to be your friends and watch the opt-ins soar.
Press Releases are great for generating free traffic too. You can submit to directories such as 24-7Pressrelease, PRfree and otheres that you can find on google. Anytime you have something to announce, a new product or product enhancement, a new idea, whatever, submit it as a press release.
Tools like Google Analytics will analyse for you what is driving most traffic. This is important and something you need to know because you want to focus on what works best.
I personally have used all these methods and had great success. However, it takes several months of consistent, persistent application to get results. So my advice, break it down, make a plan and then work your plan! It will not be long before you see traffic coming from everywhere and your opt-ins and sales begin to soar!

How can I increase traffic to my site FREE?
I been working hard. My web site URL is www.socceryoutube.com. I have worked a lot and made too many changes to it, but still getting less than 50 unique hits per day. How can I get more visitors what am I missing?
is there any way to increase traffic FREE, any ideas.
I wrote this list for someone with WordPress blog, and figured that someone here might find it useful too. The basic fundamentals are the same even if your site / blog isn’t a WordPress one.
1) Do some keyword research – what are your target market searching for? Use the Google Keyword Tool if you want something free. Start with basic phrases and find out what people in your area are looking for. Remember, in most cases, the more searches a phrase has, the more competition there will be for it – don’t try and climb Everest in the first month; start with some niche phrases that you can get quick wins on and use them.
2) Install the All In One SEO plugin for WordPress – it’s a great tool and allows you to change the title tags and META tags of every page of your site/blog. Using the phrases that you found in step 1, plan the pages of your site around the phrases – you want to be able to include those phrases in the title tags and META description tags of your pages. However, this is not the be all and end all – if the phrase isn’t included in the page too then you’re not doing it properly.
3) Make sure you use your phrase in H1 tags on the page where possible – but remember, you’re writing more for the visitor than for the search engines; don’t get carried away and end up with something that puts your visitors off. (Also make sure every page of your site has a strong call to action – when I’ve finished reading it, what should I do next?)
4) Sign up for a Google Webmaster Tools account and follow the steps to verify your site – this account will give you a LOT of information about your site and no website should be without it.
5) As part of GWT, you need an XML sitemap – generate a map and upload, then register it. If your site changes infrequently, update this sitemap every time you update the site. If it changes a lot, then consider installing a sitemap plugin for WordPress that will update it automatically for you.
6) Read about anchor text Bookmark that post and come back to it regularly – anchor text is one of the most important things for you to remember. Seriously.
7) Set up a Squidoo lens – maybe even more. Link them back to your site. Remember the anchor text.
Set up a BT Tradespace account and post some of your (amended) content over there. Remember your anchor text. Take part in the communities there. Remember your anchor text.
9) Join online networking sites and include your keyphrases in your signature. Remember your anchor text. Also remember to take part – if you’re not posting / replying / being part of the community then no-one, including Google, is seeing your signature. UK Business Labs, Ecademy, Business Scene, Linked In, Xing – there are a lot to choose from.
10) Write an article. Top Ten Tips To type articles work well as do short snappy articles that are easy to read. Remember your article is to educate the reader, not just promote your site. Have you written it? Now write another ten. Remember to get your keyphrases in there, as you’re going to use them as anchor text.
11) Post your articles, one every few days, to Ezine Articles. Post them to and communities you belong to that allow you to. Publish them on your website. Remember your anchor text.
12) Get a Twitter account. Download Tweetdeck. Tell everyone you know you have a Twitter account. Use it to interact with people, follow interesting people and yes, to promote your sites / blogs / posts etc. Don’t listen to people who tell you it doesn’t work – it does when done well.
13) Download 299 Steps to Website Heaven – spend time going through it properly. You don’t have to employ an expert to do SEO if you have the time and energy to do it yourself. Of course you will make mistakes, of course you will become frustrated, but it is possible to do well without spending lots of money.
14) Read my Internet Marketing Articles – they’re free and they should help.
15) Look into Ning, Tribe, Free Index etc – find communities you can interact with.
16) Find relevant directories to submit your site to.
17) Now find some more
18) Reread about anchor text – you’ll have forgotten about it
19) Make sure you track and test everything – use Clicky or Google Analytics; I prefer Clicky as you can see visitors in real time.
20) Constantly research and find new places to list / promote your website. Things change constantly and by the time I’ve submitted this list, it will be out of date!
