Traffic Generation

By: Erin Hughes

Everyday there are hundreds of new posts from new website owners wondering how they can get free traffic to their website.

Instead of answering this question anew everyday, I'll post the final answer here. Here are some simple, easy, and very effective ways to generate some serious traffic to your website.

First and foremost YOU have to be ready for it. YOU have to be willing to take action. YOU have to be patient and have faith. Sound too fuzzy for you? Sorry, but it's true. You are your first and biggest obstacle. Without your own action and faith you won't be seeing any visitors.

So are you ready?

Really?

Here we go.

Article Submission:

This is my favorite. Whatever your niche is, golf, Pokémon cards, self-empowerment, Christian dating, people want to know more about it. I like to write and I love writing about my niche, traffic generation and internet marketing, but maybe you’re not the writing type. That’s no problem. Search out others who have posted articles. By taking the essence and ideas from these other articles, you can rephrase them into your own creation. It really doesn’t take much and with just a few paragraphs you have an article. Remember here that this is not a sales letter, but good free information people are interested in. The sales part I’ll explain soon.

Now comes the submission. Do an internet search for ezines or article submitters. There should be quite a few that come up. Some will publish only their own site. Others will send your article out to a number of their sister sites as well. It is free to submit your article and when you do, include in your personal info the link to your website. Of course be sure that the website content matches the content you have written about in your article.
Search engines sweep across these article sites looking for your article content, and you haven’t spent a dime for it!

Press Releases:

Another great way to get the word out is with press releases. Rather than information about a topic, here you are talking specifically about your own product. However, rather than a sales-pitch, your write up needs to be news-worthy. It needs buzz, it needs a reason to be in the forefront without the sales overtones.

Again searching the internet for press release websites will garner several places you can go to submit your press release. This too is free, however some sites will push your article to the forefront for a small fee rather than counting on others to find you. The first option is good, the second better, but either way you can get traffic.

Blogging:

Everyone’s talking about blogging! If you enjoy writing about the many facets of your niche like I do, then blogging is a great way for you to get free traffic. By doing a search for a free blogging site, you’ll come across many places that you can get yourself set up. Much like the article submission sites, search engines will scan your blogs for the content they are looking for so there’s no need to pay to submit your blog to search engines. You can place the article(s) you’ve submitted above in your blog or you can write new content. It’s up to you. With a blog you can submit smaller bits of information about a number of areas within your niche and have them all available on that one page or site.

Having links to your website or opt-in list all throughout the page is vital and will garner you the traffic you are looking for.

Try one, try them all, but I can tell you from my own experience that these are really effective ways to generate free traffic to your website. And remember, your own faith and perseverance is the driving force behind the success of your business, so keep going!
