Putting up a company would of course require a lot of things, to get straight to the point, you need capital. To make money requires money as well. But of course, with the versatility the internet offers, there are many ways you could find that could help optimize the potential of your site or business in generating traffic.

 

While there are ways to jumpstart your traffic flows, many sites don’t have the resources that others have to generate more traffic for your site. Well, you don’t have to spend a cent; all you need is the proper mindset and a lot of eagerness. You also must have the drive and perseverance to do hard work and research to generate more traffic for your site.

 

How sweet it is to have more traffic for your site without spending a single cent.You will probably find that many sites out there offer free articles and other methods of generating at least some free web traffic. Because it is possible, you don’t need to spend a single cent, it may take time, to say honestly, I’m not going to beat around the bush with you. You get better chances by paying for your advertisements, but at least you get a fighting chance with some of these free methods I’m about to tell you.

 

Take advantage of online forums and online communities. The great thing about forums and online communities is that you can target a certain group that fits the certain demographic that you are looking for. You can discuss about lots of things about the niche that you represent or offer.  Another great advantage is that you know what you are getting into and you will be prepared.  So, for example if you have a web design company you could discuss topics such as how you go about your web design, what is important in a website, tips and tricks for optimizing it and any other issues surrounding website design.

 

With online communities and forums you can build a reputation for your company. Show them what you are made of and wow them with your range of expertise about the subject, with that you can build a reputation and build trust with the people in your expertise and knowledge.

 

You can also make use of newsletters. Provide people with a catalog of your products and interesting and entertaining articles. If you make it really interesting and entertaining, more people will sign up for your newsletter and recommend it to other people. The more people who signs up for your newsletter, the more people there will be that will go to your site increasing your traffic.

 

Another great idea is trading links with other sites. You don’t have to spend a cent. All you have to do is reach an agreement with another webmaster. With exchanging links, the efforts both sites do will benefit both sites. All traffic that goes to the site could potentially click on the link of your site and visit your site as well. This works well especially when both sites feature the same niche.

 

Write articles that could pique the attention of people that have interest in your product. Try writing articles that will provide tips and guides to other aficionados. Writing articles that provide good service and knowledge to other people would provide the necessary mileage your traffic flow needs.

 

Many sites offer free submission and posting of your articles. When people find interest in your articles they have a good chance of following the track by finding out where the article originated. Include a link or a brief description of your company with the article and there’s a great probability that they will go to your site.

 

Write good content for your site. Many search engines track down the keywords and keyword phrases your site uses and how they are used. It is not a requirement that a content should be done by a professional content writer. You could do your on but you have to make content for your site that is entertaining as well as informational. It should provide certain requirements as well as great quality.

Generally, internet users use search engines to find what they are looking for. Search engines in return use keyword searching in aiding their search results. With proper keyword research you could end up achieving high rankings in search engines such as Google without spending a dime.

 

All of these methods and more will drive more traffic to your site for free. All it takes is a bit of effort and extended man hours. Learn all you can about the methods depicted here and you will soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the usual costs that come with it.

Hi Everyone,

I recently found a great free place to get your site and products out there! With Super List Explode you get your own personal mailing list built for you! Super List Explode is only a couple of months old and is growing rapidly. For example I have over 1600 people on my personal mailing list since I became a member a little over one month ago. And remember, it’s free to become a member!

The way Super List Explode works is that you become a Free Member and read 5 e-mails from other members each day then in return you get more members added to your personal mailing list. In my case I haven’t read member e-mails everyday, I’ve read maybe 5 a week, and my list is over 1600. Imagine how BIG my list would be by now if I HAD read 5 e-mails every day (I couldn’t during my move, I didn’t have much time to be online, but I wish I could have!)

So, if you want an additional way to get yourself out there this is a really awesome site. You’ll also get a “friends page” and you can post blogs and chat!

Here’s the link to become a free member: Super List Explode

Why not give it a try?

Have a great day,

Lori James

Hi Everyone,

I downloaded Social Media Daily a while back, and finally had a chance to read over all of the information last night. Michele McPhearson has done a great job of putting together a daily social media plan designed to get traffic to your site.
She also gives a lot of great advice!

I am going to start implementing her daily checklist. This is something that will be very helpful to all of us!

Go to Social Media Daily to download Social Media Daily FREE!

Take care,

Who would have thought there were so many different ways to get traffic to your site? Al;ex Jeffreys showed all of us “students” some very powerful ways to get lots of traffic to our blogs on our Friday night coaching session.

It amazes me how many different types of traffic strategies are out there, and how the results can be different for each person!

I can’t wait to start putting the traffic getting strategies Alex taught us Friday night into action over the next few days! I’ll keep you updated on my progress!

Take care,

Hi Everyone,

I have been extra busy the last few days working on getting traffic to my site. Now that the holidays and my grandson’s birthday are over I’ll have much more time available!

Here are some things I’m doing to get some traffic to my blog:

Technorati Favorites Blog Exchange

- I went to Jack Humphreys blog and participated in the Technorati Favorites Blog Exchange. What you need to do is favorite Jack Humphreys blog on Technorati, then leave him a comment with your URL and your Technorati user name and he’ll favorite you back! You can also favorite everyone who left him comments with their information.

I’ve heard that this is working well for some of Alex Jeffreys other students, so I finally got a chance to try it out. I will be going back to Jack’s blog today to favorite everyone who left their info in their comments. I think this one is a really great idea and could work well for getting traffic.

Social Bookmarking

- I visited J.T.Martin’s blog and saw that he had a great idea for Alex’s Students to start utilizing social bookmarking when visiting each others blogs!When you go to a fellow student’s blog and read a post take a few extra minutes to bookmark their post. This is something that will be helpful to all of us!

After reading J.T.’s post I signed up for a free account atOnlyWire. You will need to create an account with each social bookmarking site listed, which will take a little time, but it’s worth it in the long run. With Onlywire you will be submitting to 20+ social bookmarking sites all at once which will save you a lot of time. OnlyWire has a Wordpress plugin you can use, or an html script you can paste into your site to to add the “bookmark and share” button.

Then, of course, you can visit some of the other student’s sights and bookmark their posts!

Other Social Bookmarking Sites

I also created an account at Digg, which is very popular.
Reddit is another good site to sign up with.

I’ll be creating a Squidoo lens tonight!

Have a great day!
