    Hey man you are not a moron my friend... I bet there are things that you know that I don`t...

    That is the beauty of yahoo answers, the anwers there and the questions are well how can I say it... rediculous!!! lol

    That is why when you go in and give a polite intelectual helpful answer it is a breath of fresh air for someone who is used to
    listeing to a community spout out nonsense... Do you see what I mean... I get loads of my answers chosen for best answer
    which inturn gets more views to the answer which has your unlinked site address in it... I will make you a video... my friend

    I will make a video my man and post it here for you... :)

    LoL - that's why you can't sel your eBook - you're targeting the wrong keywords, for instance who's searching for "fluffy bunny slippers"? Most likely people shopping for slippers... they're not interested in an eBook or developing websites...

    The best free website traffic - is from Google, Google Images and other Search engines... nothing beats direct traffic from Google.

    A lot of great advice in this thread! I just started a website that relies on heavy traffic and I found a lot of this to be common with other suggestions I've read...obviously you guys know what you're talking about!

    I've been simply sticking to Facebook and Twitter, but have not had the best of luck so far. I feel that it is important to really engage your target audience on these social networks in order to get people to take the time to check out your website. The opportunities are endless though...so I realize I need to step up my game and put together a good marketing strategy!

    Thanks to all of those above who have provided some great tips.

    make on-page seo. add fresh, original, unique content in a regular time interval. so that organic traffic may be coming to your site via search engines.

    Hello buddy, you are not a morn my friend... I ma sure there things you might know that I do not...

    The answers on yahoo are spammy crappy and sometimes rediculous (that is the beauty of marketing there)

    You see when you go in with a helpful, kind and genuine respons it is like a breath of fresh air to the person

    asking the question... they will mark your comment as helpful and vote it asbest answer which helps with expo-
    sure to your answer which has your unlinked url in it....

    am going to post you a quick video ... so you can copy the technique from th vid ok... if it helps just pass the
    video along to wherever you can that is all I ask...

    speak shortly my friend..

    Social media + article writing should then also give you lots of direct traffic from Google once you're ranked high.

    Guest blog posts are usually great for getting free, targeted traffic.

    I tuned out when you said 20 - 40 visitors per day LoL - not worth the effort... why not write a blog post for a long tail key word? it's more productive and beneficial for your site.

    Anyway, they (Yahoo) want you to sign in and fill out way too much info about yourself before you can play their silly little game of Q&A. And I'm not into filling out forms unless there's money in it for me.

    For free traffic without social media i can only say forums are the best place to get some free traffic . but you have to remember that most people visiting the forums are experts so don't think that you will get some clicks or some conversions! only some views can be gotten.

    I followed your (perfectly explained) instructions and replied to 3 questions just the way you said. Nothing yet. BTW, any tips on how you managed to make those two videos so fast Any help on making simple videos and posting them onto UTube would be appreciated by me, and I'm sure others. Thanks bud.

    You are already doing one great method and that is forum posting. By starting a popular thread and generating good content for visitors you will get people checking your links out.

    Another great way is by blog commenting. Find relevant popular blogs and join the conversation offering something useful.

    It beats me why people leave one liners and expect to get their comment approved.
    When you do post comments to blogs or forums you should subscribe to their feeds so you can be notified if anyone adds a comment to a post you are involved in.

    In my opinion the main problem with getting targeted traffic is not with the methods it is with how we keep track of the results. If you know which methods are working best, you can do more of the same and drop the ones that aren't doing so well.

    LoL - I sit back and laugh at all the fools with their off site SEO and link spam methods... while I silently collect 500+ visitors per hour - with NO OFFSITE promotion at all... I pity the fools.
