    10 Great Free Ways To Increase Your Website Traffic

    There are several ways to promote your website for free online. Here are 10 highly effective techniques you can start using right now.

    1. Write articles or free reports for other webmasters to publish and put your website address in the by-line. If you can write good content, your articles will be published and a lot of readers who like your article will start using your website.

    2. Arrange Joint Venture partnership with Webmasters and List owners.

    3. Add your ad or website address to your own email signature. Thus, each time you send an email, you'll promote your own website.

    4. Start exchanging Links with Other Webmasters. This is another very effective strategy to generate targeted traffic to your website free of cost.It involves contacting other webmasters for a probable link exchange partnership.

    5. Add a blog to your site and Ping weblogs.com and the other search engines. Pinging your blogs to the search engines is the fastest and surest way to get the search engine robots to visit your blog and attract a number of new visitors to your web site regularly.

    6. Submit your blog address to different blog search sites and directories. You can submit your blog's URL to websites such as Technorati, Daypop, Popdex and Blogdex.

    7. Start creating RSS feeds for your site and submit the feed URLs to the major RSS feed directories online.

    8. Become an active commenter. Try to leave your comments on the blogs that you visit regularly. Most of the comment systems also provide a way for you to leave a link back to your blog or website which begs a visit at the very least.

    9. If you decide to have anything printed up, give your web address on it. You can print your URL on business cards, leaflets, stickers, etc.

    10. Add your own web address to your forum profile signature. Each time you post or respond to questions, your ad will be displayed. If you can post good and useful content in forums, people who go through your threads will also certainly check out your website .

    Is ok but I would not rely only on free traffic. Last week John Reese wrote something very interesting about that. He mentioned that there is no such thing like "free traffic". Either costs you time or it costs you money. And Time is your most valuable resource.

    I get about 150,000 free referrals a month, about 2/3 from
    Google, and the rest from the others, forums, etc.

    If I had to pay for these at 20 cents per referral it would
    cost me $30,000. Sure it was a lot of work to get quality
    content on my site, and it continues to be, but work put in
    6 years ago continues to pay off.

    When you pay for traffic, that payment is gone forever.
    I used to buy about $500 per month in ads per month from
    Google. It brought me sales, but if I had been investing
    that $500 in quality content it would still be paying off.

    Therefore time is more valuable resource when it comes to getting traffic. And if you want to spend money, hire someone
    to write for you.

    best regards
    wiz

    Study your logs. See where your referrals are coming from. There are probably hidden gems in there. Capitalize on them to increase your growth.

    If you are doing what everyone else is, then you are running with the pack. If you want to stand out, then you have to break away from the pack.

    Agreed, it's a trade-off. Personally I prefer to pay for my leads providing they convert, simply because my time is better spent doing something else.

    Hi,

    it is good way to think about traffic, you will pay in some fashion either time or money, this why outsourcing is the best way to go, bit by bit so you have more time on your hands and still increase your website traffic,

    I have to concur... I know many ways to get traffic but I always end up with lil traffic and now I know why .. I haven't been outsourcing tasks to other people. While it may cost me money to outsource, gaining time to dedicate in other tasks doubles/triples my productivity getting me that much closer to my goal. But this point is hard to grasp for many people...
