    Does anyone know the best ways to get traffic without having to buy it? I have limited funds on what I can do and I am in desperate need to start getting certain traffic. I'm currently unemployed right now and things are tough, and I used to do alot of marketing online for affiliate programs and the way I got the traffic has changed, and I can't seem to do much with it anymore, I need help and fast because my house might be going into foreclosure soon :(

    Forum marketing? Everytime I try to post a link in a forum somewhere the admin deletes it and then im banned. Youtube? I dont have any videos to upload. Yahoo answers? Hows that going to benefit my site, they dont allow you to post clickable links to other sites do they?

    I would suggest... One of the first steps in getting traffic for free is trivial but vital – get great content and frequently update it. Because Content is king. If your content is good and frequently updated you will not only build a loyal audience of recurring visitors, who will often come to see what is new, but search engines will also love your site. And secondly...
    - Article posting. The articles should be optimised for a keyword your site is targeting.
    - Blog posting. Start a blog on blogger.com and wordpress.com, link them to your site and submit them to the hundreds of free blog directories. This will get you plenty of quality traffic as long as you keep your blogs updated.
    - Forum posting which get millions of visitors a day and if you are a popular user on such a forum, you can use this to get traffic to your site
    - Blog commenting on related sites. It's also very beneficial way to get traffic.
    - Popular social bookmarking sites. It's another powerful way to get traffic for free. Such as Digg, Delicious, twitter and Facebook.
    - Press Release - This one can be very powerful. Submit it to press release sites such as prweb.com.
    - Directory submission. such as dmoz.com, in.dir.yahoo.com
    - Posting ads with a link to you site on all the free classified ad site. such as craigslist.com
    These techniques work, but you don’t have to use them all at once.

    There are 10's (maybe even 100's) of ways to get free traffic. Free traffic is a very wide term.
    I would suggest narrowing it all down more. Think what kind of traffic you need. Is it converted? Is anyone who clicks your link making you money? etc.
    Figure out things like that, and then when you see all the suggestions you will have an idea if that source will work. You mentored that you dont have any youtube videos.
    Its not good or bad it just means that you have to put that in your mind when you are considering what source of free traffic to take.
    Hope this makes sense.

    Hey GirlGamer,
    Here are some tips that will help you with blog traffic through my own experience:
    1. Guest Posting
    2. Bookmarking Sites
    3. Article Directories
    4. Forum Backlinks
    5. Blog Commenting
    6. Web 2.0
    7. Tier Link Building
    8. YouTube
    9. Twitter, Facebook (Social Networking)
    10. Directory Listing (Google Webmaster Tools)

    The ultimate goal is to build your list and take down your reader's email address to send them a weekly or monthly round-up of your blog posts and make them have more confidence in your services.

    I recommend trying out each tip one by one until you fully mastered the blog traffic tips and your website will be absolutely KILLER. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I'll be more than happy to help you

    There are several methods you can use to get traffic, like participating in various forums and blogs within your site's niche. You can also submit to article directories for more backlinks. I found that participating in Yahoo Answers also helps.

    It's going to be hard work, but you end up with tons of backlinks as well as traffic in the long run. So it's all worth it. :)

    Hope that helps. Have a good weekend!
