There are many ways of which to generate web site traffic without breaking the bank. This article will show how easy it is to do in 12 ways. Some are free and others are paid.
* One of the most commonly used ways to get traffic is to use classified ads. Advertising can be done for free or paid using this method and the range is endless. Classified ads, like the internet, can be utilized practically all over the world and most let you use pictures & images too. This is also a great offline way to generate web site traffic.
* Using Forums is a tremendously effective form of advertising in which you would join various forums, preferably relevant to your interests, where you can put your product or service in your signature file and just start making friends or help solving problems around the site. Your sig file will be left where ever you make a post. Another great way to advertise among lots of people who share your interests in a particular niche.
* There are also Search Engine Submissions. To be indexed by search engines is truly an important step in positioning your site, product or service in front of potentially millions of viewers if done so correctly. There is a technique to it but you can expect a very powerful out come. Obtaining web page traffic in this manner can be done free or paid.
* FFA site submissions is yet another free or paid avenue for lots of potential visitors to your site.
* Traffic Exchanges can be free if you have the time to sit and surf for credits. I’ve never had much luck from this type of advertising. You may purchase credits if you don’t have the time to sit and surf.
* Article Submissions are still another free or paid way, more commonly used than anything else because it has a viral way of spreading over the entire internet via article directories where people come searching for articles to use in blogs, webpages, websites and other applications to help draw interest to users businesses and products and when done so, if done so correctly, when articles get used over and over again your bio box with your website info should go with them increasing your chances of being seen from someone elses website. This can be a great way to generate web site traffic and it’s generally more targeted because people of relevant interests are the ones who will be using the articles.
* Social Networking Sites are flooded with a mixture of curious people just waiting, and are eager, to socialize and in doing so, much like the forum technique mentioned above, can be used to drive huge amounts of traffic right straight to your product or service. Again joining relevant sites is key here.
* Don’t forget to Advertise on Social Video Sites as they have the same prospect pulling potential as the forum, or social networking sites have. Relevancy is key or something of commonality.
* Advertising using safelists is a safe way to use mail out techniques. Safelists are groups of people who are all members that, upon signing up, gives other members the O.K. to mail offers to them without emailing problems and spam complaints. These type of lists are generally Double Opted in to each other.
* Blogging is another widely used way to generate web site traffic in large volumes free!
* Pay-Per-Click Advertising is a very well used more familiar way to get targeted traffic almost instantly. Here you pay for every click that you get via search engine campaigns that you set up within your search engine account like Googles Adwords.
* Paid solo and Ezine ads are everywhere and can get a torrent of traffic to your site after a campaign has been set up in a magazine or on an Ezine website. Last but not least Free Banner Exchange sites where you display peoples banners on your blog or website and the banner’s network site displaying your banner on their network of sites. This can be very effective and it’s free.

Free Website Traffic Secrets of the Gurus
It seems to be the first question every newbie online asks in the popular marketing forums. How do I get more traffic for free? There are many answers and many experts on this subject who will share a few tidbits of their genius every once in a while, yet many still struggle with traffic.
Here’s a short guide to help every marketer in the world boost their traffic without paying a nickel for it. Let’s start with the basics.
First, get a blog on either Blogger or WordPress. Blogger has the advantage of being owned by Google so your blog can quickly appear in the search results and it’s easy to add Adsense to monetize your blog. When you choose the content for your blog, make sure the keywords that attract visitors to your site appear in the title, description, and posts on your blog. Add links to whatever site or sites you are promoting. Then visit other blogs with those keywords and leave comments of value, including a link to your blog as well.
A second free traffic generating method is searching for directories that accept free submissions to get listed. These are great because the listings are all related to the same niche so people will see your site listed among other prominent sites within the same market. This is also a great way of acquiring more one-way back links to your site which can help boost your search engine rankings and at the same time improve the quality of the directory and the experience of its visitors. That’s what we call a win-win-win situation!
A third method of generating free traffic is using a banner exchange. It’s best if you have an attractive banner to the site you’re promoting so that when it appears on other people’s sites, you will attract visitors away from them and directly to you. The drawback is that you in turn, need to display banner ads as well. I recommend using banner exchanges, but not the traditional way. Using a combination of them, you can exponentially increase your free advertising credits in a short period of time.
Fourth and final method for today is make use of the “about me” page on eBay, no matter what you’re selling. Posting links on your about me page is a great way to attract visitors since eBay is one of the top ten most trafficked sites every day. Make use of eBay’s hard work as leverage to get some of those visitors to come to your site as well.
This is hardly a comprehensive list of free traffic generating methods, but these can be powerful and should not be overlooked when planning a site promotion strategy. Think of ways to use other highly visited sites to attract folks to yours, qualify your prospects before you sell to them, and give them exactly what they buy. They’ll only complain if you don’t, and I know that when I don’t receive what I buy I get irate. So sell what you have and give ‘em what they buy. Use the free traffic to generate new customers and hopefully future referrals.

Starting a Business With Free Traffic
What does it take to start and grow a profitable Internet business?
While there are many facets to growing a profitable business online, there’s one thing you must have in place…a plan of action or course to keep you on track. Without a business plan, there’s no way to determine if the actions you are taking are leading toward your intended goals are keeping you from growing and developing into a thriving business.
Any successful business has in some fashion adhered to a model or plan that’s led them to the success they are experiencing. And while many businesses leave clues to their success, they are just too many unknowns to build a business on clues.
If you are starting a business, having a definite plan in plan will serve you in many ways. This is one of the best ways to insure that you are on the road to success instead of floundering around, getting nowhere.
Unlike a typical brick and mortar business, starting a business online has many advantages over offline enterprise start-ups. The main advantage you have online is the low entry to startup. With a basic website consisting of a few pages, you can have a business online catering to your favorite niche in just a few days.
One of the most important aspects of starting online is that you can tap into many types of traffic sources relative free or at minimum costs. Free sources of traffic may not be your best quality traffic sources and may not be the best way to target leads and prospects, but still…since it really does not cost you much of anything, but a little bit of your time, for this reason it remains one of the best ways to jumpstart an online venture.
Most people don’t have the money needed to invest in expensive advertising campaigns. Should you decide to invest into paid advertising at the start, you’d have to have a large chunk of discretionary dough that you don’t mind losing should your ad flop.
The only way you should invest into paid advertising is if you are sure you have all the components in line for success. This means you have a proven winner…a product or offer that’s been proven and tested to convert into buying sales.
The best way to know if your idea or product is a winner is to drive some free sources of traffic to it and test it over time. This way, you are given the flexibility of adjusting your marketing efforts at the cost of free traffic instead of paid, which could be expensive.
Should you decide to tap into free online traffic, there are a myriad of choices that you can select from, of which, each can be good sources or means of testing your ideas.
Below, you will find my top six recommended sources of testing free traffic:
1. Start A Blog. This is a great way to target your market using keyword rich content or articles that are relevant to you market. There are many free blog sources online such as Blogger and Word Press. Blogs are ideal for making your website theme related and has many SEO advantages for the SERPS or natural organic search engines.
By writing theme related content, you can be sure of people finding your article blog posts in the search engines. Blogger and Word Press both have many plugins and template themes to help you in the process. The key to using the traffic from your blog is to have a highly visible link or banner ad on your blog where readers can click through and see your main offer.
2. Write Press Releases. Again, this is an excellent way to get the word out across the Internet. There are many free PR site on the Internet that will let you submit free press releases. These PR sites are strong in Google, Yahoo and MSN.
Having a press release on free PR sites puts your website in front of potentially thousands of Internet users and provides tremendous SEO benefits for your website.
3. Write and Submit Articles. Article submissions are one of my key secrets to getting the word out about my websites and in improving my ranking in the major search engines. There are many powerful sources online where you can submit quality article content about your website’s products, features and benefits.
The key to using article marketing is to write the article in a way that informs or instructs the reader on tips and tricks, or in a way that gives the reader additional insight.
Publishers are not in the business of publishing a sales pitch. They want quality content readers can use. In exchange they’ll publish your articles in their database that can be viewed by their readers as well as picked up by other sources all across the Internet. If you have not written any artless, I suggest you start now.
However, should you decide to write articles, don’t post the same article on your personal blog. You don’t want to get hit for duplicate content. So how many articles should you write and submit? I recommend at least 10 articles a week. (This is far more than enough to get a boost of traffic to your website.)
4. Social Networking Sites. One of the easiest ways to generate prospects for your online business is through social networking. There are at least 20 outstanding social sites that have tens of thousands of members in all genres. One great example is You Tube, Yahoo Video, My Space, Yahoo Groups as well as many others. (Do a search for the top ten social network sites.)
One of the greatest advantages to using these sites is in the ability to create a unique profile centered around your passions and to post your videos. Having videos of your talking about a certain topic is a great way to build rapport. This not only serves to build your credibility but also creates a virtual relationship that’s second to no other.
People within the group instinctively get to know you…your likes, interest as well as your level to assist them in achieving their desired goals and dreams. Don’t overlook this tremendous source of relationship building and traffic.
The key to using these types of sites is not to spam them with all types of affiliate links, but with real content that’s related to the group. Participation is the key. It’s not about posting content as an attempt just to get a new prospect.
The best way to leverage these networks is by participating in various discussions originated by other people. If you can provide useful tips to an existing discussion, you will gain the trust of other members within the network. Like always, have a link where permissible, pointing back to your website or a portion of the site related to the discussion.
5. Video Marketing. Closely related to social networking marketing, using video marketing is an excellent way to leverage the power of the Internet for business brand building, establishing new relationships, and targeting key people in your industry or profession.
More commonly referred to as Web 2.0 Marketing, video offers a wide variety of possibilities. Using nothing more than a web cam or video camera, you have create videos with targeted messages and have them uploaded to over 40+ video websites, working for you around the clock. This is a powerful form of relationship marketing that you should use in your free traffic generating strategies.
6. Forum Participation. Have you participated in any forum discussions lately? Then you understand the power of using this type of Internet media as a way of lending ideas, tips and insight to help others looking for answers.
There are literally thousands of theme related forums on the Internet ranging from politics and government to adoption and work from home forums. In order to make forum marketing work, you should stay away from automatic posting scripts, software and services all designed to spam the forums.
How you approach a forum discussion has a large part to do with how well you are welcomed into the discussion. Participants in a discussion will quickly see if the advice you lend is meant as a means of using the discussion as a way of spam or if you are genuinely interested in helping with your insight.
Start looking for forums related to your industry, service or profession and start participating by providing meaningful information to others.
By now you are probably wondering why I did not include other forms of free traffic marketing such as posting free classifieds, using bulk email blasting or participating in viral banner exchanges.
While they certainly have the power to drive free traffic, they are more of a direct approach to marketing and therefore less effective as a means of establishing relationships. If you’ve been in business for very long, you know that establishing relationships are key to building long term customers and clients who pay, stay and refer.
