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.

make a best links to the website

GEveryone knows the importance of links when it comes to increasing your search engine results. The first question you must ask is where to get links from. There are two strategies here.
1. The most effective way to identify the “right” sites to get links from should be based on who is linking to your competition defined by who outranks you on Google for your identified search term. Ideally you should be evaluating who links to the #1 search result in Google for the keywords or keyword phrases you’re optimizing for. If you get the same sites to link to your site in the right way you’ll be in the top position on Google for that given keyword phrase.
There are a variety of methods to determine which sites are linking to the #1 result in Google for the keyword phrase you’re targeting. Begin by identifying which site is in the #1 position for your search term. Once you’ve identified this site, do one of the following:
• Google Search. Go to Google.com and type in the following:
Link: www.competitor.com and press return. Be sure to replace the “competitor.com” with the name of the site you’ve already identified as having the #1 position on Google for your search term.
The result will be a series of sites linking to your competitor. The only downside to this method is that you will not know which sites are more important than others (i.e. number of links linking into those sites, Google PR, keyword content on pages, etc.)
• Alexa. Go to Alexa.com and type in the name of the site you’re researching. Alexa.com is a tool used to measure the popularity of sites using the Alexa toolbar. Because not everyone uses the Alexa toolbar, the information is only directionally correct.
Once you get the resultant website, you will see a number of options listed. To the right of the thumbnail image, click “Sites Linking In”.
This option returns a list of sites that Alexa has identified as linking into the site you’re researching. This can be an adequate starting spot for your link building campaign.
• Online SEO Tools. Using online marketing tools to automatically generate a list of sites linking into your competitor’s site that provides link details (Google PR, Link text, Number of inbound links to competitor’s site, Page title, etc.) is the most effective way to generate a list of targeted sites for your link development efforts.
I’ve personally bought and used about a dozen different products to help me keep an eye on my competition and more importantly build an effective linking campaign. In less than 30 seconds some of these tools let you know exactly which sites are linking to the #1 positioned website and give you the information needed to contact them and request a link.
You can use whatever tool you want as long as it provides you a list of sites linking into your competitor and a way to prioritize that list. If you start to develop links from the highest quality sites first, your climb to the #1 spot on Google will happen that much faster.
• Identify Authority Websites. Authority websites are those sites linking to 3 or more of your competitors. You can save time by using an online SEO tool to find these sites. If you do not have a tool at your disposal, you can accomplish this manually using the following method:1. Search for competitive sites by visiting Google and searching for your most important search term. 2. Create a spreadsheet of the top 100 sites “linking in” to each of your top 5 competitors (Microsoft Excel is a good tool for this)3. Sort Alphabetically4. While looking at the list, see if any of the website URL’s are duplicated across your list. If the site appears 3 or more times, highlight it.5. Once you’ve developed your list of competitive sites, you should visit each one to determine how your competitors are listed.
Once you’ve identified your Authority Websites, contact them. Model the strategy that your competitors have used. If these sites are Directories, look for a directory submission form. If the links are from articles that your competitors submitted, submit your own. If all you can locate is an email, ask the webmaster to include your site. You may also suggest a link exchange if the opportunity arises.
