10 no-cost traffic generation

Here are 10 no-cost traffic generation methods you can try:

1. Find forums related to your niche, make relevant and informative posts with your main site in your sig line. Only occasionally reference your site and when it really answers a question.

2. Post to classified sites like Craigslist, Kijiji, iNetGiant, and more.

3. Write and distribute relevant articles and press releases.

4. Use popular social bookmarking sites like digg and del.icio.us to bring targeted visitors.

5. Make comments on related blogs with a link to your site - you can do the same on popular social networking sites like myspace and facebook as well as video sites like YouTube and MetaCafe.

6. Submit your site to be listed in popular directories, NOT automated submitters to FFA sites though.

7. Link exchanges - have a links page to post links to RELATED sites in echange for links to your site from theirs.

8. Traffic exchanges and banner exchanges can be useful, but only if used in some sneakier ways. I teach those sneakier ways in my free traffic course because it would take way too long to try to explain it in a forum post. The idea behind it is to make each visit you get generate about 10 more visits and impressions so that it grows automatically and becomes unstoppable.

9. Create Squidoo lenses, blogs, hubpages, and link them all together so any traffic you get to one or the other can bring more to the rest of the network.

10. Solo email ads. Believe it or not you can get some really good ones for free, just google "free ezine solo ads".

That should give you lots to do, and all of those methods have proven to work.

LEARN HOW TO OPTMIZE WITH SEARCH ENGINE

Every business wants to be found. Figuring out how to get your business to show up in the rankings when a potential customer uses a search engine is an art form.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is fast becoming a must-have body of knowledge for business owners. Nearly 91 percent of all Internet users resort to a search engine to find information, according to a recent survey by the non-profit Pew Internet and American Life Project. The question is: how easily can they find your business?
You already could be making costly mistakes, such as a home page that is almost all images and little text, causing your site to have unnecessarily low rankings and little traffic. Or worse, you could be using hidden text and winding up with an every more onerous problem because some search engines ban sites that use tricks to improve rankings.
Whether you are a do-it-yourselfer or you use an outside SEO firm, the more you know the more effective and successful your business can be online. I’ve assembled the five best categories of resources for business owners to learn about SEO and search marketing. To help with this article, I interviewed Jennifer Laycock, editor-in-chief of Search Engine Guide, a website designed specifically for business owners and
entrepreneurs.

I have learned a great deal simply through using tools such as:

• 
  WordTracker keyword tool -- Using relevant keywords in your site content and when purchasing search ads can make all the difference in attracting visitors who actually buy. You may already know the obvious keywords, but WordTracker helps you broaden your choices to identify non-obvious terms. A free trial or a single day’s subscription costs around $8.
  
• Analytics programs -- These help you understand which parts of your site visitors use most, such as which navigation links they click on most. Armed with that knowledge, you can make changes to your site to emphasize the most important elements to increase sales and newsletter signups. Google Analytics is a robust free analytics tool. For those who run Google AdWords campaigns and do not like the idea of giving sensitive site data to the same company you purchase ads from, ClickTracks is an alternative. ClickTracks offers a free version called ClickTracks Appetizer.
  
• SEO Moz page strength tool -- This interactive tool gives you a quick snapshot of some of the factors search engines consider when determining site rankings. Don’t take it as the complete word on ranking factors, but do have fun with it.
