The Secret To Targeted Free Traffic

    Hello fellow digitalpoint members, I have been doing internet marketing and web development for about 10 years. I have 100s of websites but 30 main sites.

    One issue i have seen for the last 10 years is no one wants to share anything useful everyone wants to keep their tricks to themselves and i think that is sad. Fearing of competitors to use their tricks against them and steal business.

    So i want to help out some of the new webmaster in their path to success.

    1. You will get your best customers from search engines like google and yahoo. You MUST rank on the first page for your keywords. How can you do that? I don't know.... Backlinks? yeah but google is smarter than everyone thinks it has some huge math equation that leads to its results. If SEO experts find a way to cheat the system and get sites ranked #1 google will fix it and make it so that technique doesn't work. Remember google has the best of the best....

    2. Blog commenting...... People get this confused, or just do it for a backlink. This is not how you do it for free traffic. You first google your market. Say you are selling web hosting, You would google something like "find good hosting" Or "web hosting reviews" just something to find good blogs to comment on.....
    Now you need to actually read the blog, so you can write a relevant comments. You one do not want to look like a spammer you also do not want to look like your self advertising. Make a story up, tell them your experience about (YOUR) web hosting site.
    Do this over and over for that search about 10 google pages deep. Than move on to a new search and do the same thing comment on all pages with relevant comments and selling your site at the same time.
    You will get about 50% of your comments approved the rest will take forever or never because the blog owner is gone or something. But these comments will get you targeted traffic for years. Some will only get 1 or 2 clicks a day and some will get you 50 clicks a day. You need to do this forever sorry but its true.

    3. Find a relevant forum. Say you are selling web hosting, a forum like this one digitalpoint would be perfect you need to find about 25 of these targeted forums and sign up on all of them. Next you need to get a signature link on your account. Most forums require you to do X amount of posts before you can have a signature link. One huge tip is you will get banned in 1 min if you look spammy or self advertising. So don't do it, simple right. But most people just sign up on forums post a bunch of spam get banned and do it over and over. So keep this in mind forums are your friend they just want good content and you just want traffic so play nice. You will get extremely targeted traffic from the forums.

    4. Social Media Sites, facebook, twitter, youtube, ect..ect..
    Theses are just as useful as the blogs and forums. With facebook i first make a fan page and get them a ton of likes so they show up on top in the facebook search. You need to have the fan page look good too it needs to have a good cover image and lots of posts you can keep it updated with a RSS GRAFFITI or something similar.
    Tips on youtube, you can make simple videos with screencastomatic.com this site makes it easy to record your screen and if you don't have a mic you can just open a text file and type, im sure you have seen this before on youtube.
    The title is the most important.
    The title should be KEYWORD - DESCRIPTION
    So if you had a web hosting site it could be
    BEST WEB HOSTING - MYDOTCOM HOSTING FEATURES
    Simple videos like this can get you 100s of hits per day. Also google owns youtube so they really like to rank their videos on their search engine.


    5. Classified ad sites, craigslist, backpage, ect...
    Theses sites can do a lot, seo and traffic. backpages is a spam fest so just spam it. Craigslist is hard it has tons of anti spam software. You can get whats called "Ghosted posts" this means you will think your posts are live and you can see them but no one else can. This is a hard one and i still get ghosted posts so i'm still learning you should be too.


    6. Creating blogs, Wordpress, Blogger, Squidoo, ect...
    This is a nice boost and it really works i have made a simple 1 post wordpress blog and within 12 hours it gets me traffic daily and is ranked for a keyword. but you can't just post a 1 word post the post should be about 200 words long and have the keyword linked to the site about 2 times,
    The title is the most important.
    The title should be KEYWORD - DESCRIPTION
    So if you had a web hosting site it could be
    BEST WEB HOSTING - MYDOTCOM HOSTING FEATURES
    (sorry to repeat my self) but its the same rules......
    You also want to make your wordpress username your keyword so your main URL is YOUR-KEYWORD.wordpress.com


    If you follow these simple but time consuming steps you will get targeted free traffic. And the more you put into it the more you will get in return. Nothing happens over night and you want to make it you need to work hard and spend a lot of time.

    I hope you all can learn from this post and use it to your advantage in success.
    Please feel free to add more helpful tips.

    Thanks for great info! You can also use safelists if you're in the Internet marketing niche. I'm sure there's safelists for other niches too, but there are thousands of them in the Internet marketing niche.

    Yes, do not do that. you will get all of your posts ghosted you need to be extremely careful with craigslist. i would do a lot of research on not getting ghosted before you start advertising on craigslist or your account will get put on ghost mode and you can't fix it after that
