The 3 Best Ways To Drive Free Traffic To Your Website

O.K., to start off, there are a couple of free traffic techniques that many internet marketing gurus dislike. The first one in exchanging links with other websites. Don't get me wrong, I know that if you do this the right way, then it can be good traffic for your website, but at the same time if you do it the wrong way, then Google will frown upon you. Oh the horror! But, another reason why some dislike this method is because you end up providing people with a way to click away from your website. In other words, these links can distract your potential customers and may lower your conversions. In a moment I will discuss a few techniques that can build a large amount of links without having to exchange links with other sites.

O.K., so another free traffic technique that many dislike is where you earn "click credits" to your website by either purchasing them or visiting other people's websites as a part of a "let's all click on each other's websites community" so that we all get free visitors. I have seen sites that promote this type of "community" and I have even seen them advertise that the traffic is "targeted." They are lying. Don't believe them. How could that traffic in any way be targeted? It just doesn't make sense. Everyone joins that type of website for one reason: in order to try to get free targeted traffic to their own website. Just don't fall for the hype. With most all websites, this type of traffic isn't going to do anything for you!

So now it's time for some really effective ways for getting real targeted traffic to your websites. Also, if you are worried about building more links across the web for your SEO, then you'll be pleased to know that all 3 of these techniques have been proven to grow a large amount of links across the web:

#1: Taking advantage of the growing popularity in video sharing sites.

This method is really hot right now. Why? Because it really works! This one technique can bring you a massive amount of free website traffic. This is because there is now software available across the web that will submit your videos to multiple sites all at once. Imagine: You make one video, but then send that same video to 40 different websites. Now, if you have created a decent video with a good title, then you could possibly get a couple hundred video views per month on many of those video sharing sites. 200 views times 40 different websites is 8,000 exposures for your website per month! And that is just what one decent video can do for you. Imagine if you created just 2 or three videos each week!

#2: Creating opportunities for viral marketing on your site.

It just makes sense. If you have a website with great information that leaves each visitor wanting more, then each visitor is likely to tell other internet users about your site. Even if what you may offer is just a weekly newsletter or a simple eCourse, if that content is really good, then people will tell their friends to check it out. So, create what I call "viral content" for your website and you will get a whole lot of word of mouth marketing for your businesses.

#3: Writing articles.

If you do things the right way, writing articles will get you a flood of free traffic to your websites. Here is an example of a correct way: In this article, notice that I haven't embedded a bunch of my affiliate links. Notice how I haven't tried to sell you on any of my products. Notice how I am actually addressing the article title and providing the information promised in the title.

If you write articles and actually provide people with good content, then your articles will get read and also will be accepted in the majority of cases by the article directory sites. Remember that these article directory sites provide a special area for authors to tell more about themselves and their websites. When you follow this 3rd method for free website traffic, you always wait until the "About the Author" box in order to promote your site.

So, those are 3 of the best ways for driving free traffic to your website: video sharing, viral marketing, and article marketing. You will hear a lot of people talking about these 3 techniques because these are free traffic methods that actually work. Try these techniques for your site and I know it will bring you a good amount of free website traffic!
