    Hi guys, I own and operate financial website and I'm looking for ways to attract significant amount of real-human traffic dedicated to finance category over to my website. Also, I don't consider paid advertising. Would some of you recommend some interesting methods to achieve this goal?

    Thank you

    Try to grow your twitter account. It's amazing how much free traffic one can get from there. It's not always targeted, but if your following is in hundreds of thousands you may get some good traffic from there too.

    I would also consider putting up a personal and a company page on linkedin and becoming a contributing member of the various Finance interest groups you can join.

    Thank you guys for your suggestions. It's strongly appreciated. Maybe do you know some sources where the traffic can be bought at pretty much cheap rates?

    Hi alex.ev i would suggest not to go for paid traffic instead of this try to get traffic from your niche i.e. finance. Post articles in finance related blogs along with your link. search for finance related forums where you can get traffic, Use YouTube search for finance related videos and comment on them leaving URL of your website and so on for other social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. You will certain get visitors from these sources.

    To be honest with you without advertising your website through online different Digital Marketing activities on Google, Facebook and other channels etc. its not not at all possible as how people will come to know what you are doing if your presence is not there. This is very deep and wide subject and you should take the advice of a professional company who based on your target market could guide you with right solution. This technology works and their is no short cut. If you want we can discuss in detail.

    Traffic cannot be bought but yes that can be created on online platforms some of which includes Google, Facebook, Youtube and some other sources also. Some people may suggest you poor ways like link building etc which is been banned and against the search enginge algorithm and this can work negative for you. Everything cannot be explained here , if you want we can discuss in detail.

    I think your best option in getting organic traffic for your website is to optimise your social media platforms. You can also create relevant blogs and get those posted on some relevant sites in order to get some attention towards your direction!

    Social media is a great tool to drive traffic to a website.
    You can achieve targeted traffic with a proper strategy without doing paid advertising.

    I'm wondering about link building. Obviously, you wouldn't want to have backlinks on poor quality sites as that would do more harm than good. However, link building technique is well explained in Moz's Beginner's Guide to SEO as an amazing technique to build your following, brand awareness, etc. And Moz is one of the best known SEO consulting companies. I would be interested to hear why it is banned. Could you explain this little bit more?

    Definitely, recommend social media but guest posting on like 60 sites in your niche can dramatically increase SEO, reach and traffic.

    You can create facebook page, twitter account, instagram account and make posts on regular interval and can expect good traffic from all this social platforms. Try to contribute as much as you can on this social platforms and you can see traffic increasing slowly.

    Join or Like Facebook group related to your niche and provide useful sharing tips. If people would to like to know more then can go to your link voluntarily.

    Or You may want to create a Fan Page pertaining to your niche and invite friends to Like your page to share around. As you know FB is a viral marketing if you share good contents to help people rather than selling a product/service.

    Try out Udimi. It is the largest solo ads marketplace I have found so far. You can buy real clicks for your website and the prices are quite affordable there. https://udimi.com/
