We all look ways to get free traffic on our websites, but when we fail at finding ways to do so we end up going for Google and Facebook Ads, which cost us a fortune.
There are various articles that attract people by their catchy headlines on how to get free traffic, but end up promoting their own product (which is normally lame and ineffective). But this article is not like that.
I am a startup webmaster myself, and over the past few months i have tried and tested several ways to promote my blogs. So, based on all those trail and error ways, i have come up with the following ways to get free and real traffic on your websites.
1. Extremely basic SEO: The word SEO is a big turn off for a lot of webmasters. Dont worry, what i am asking you to do is something extremely basic and very interesting. All you have to do is to search for the 'target keyword' and including that keyword effectively (and only once) in your meta title and meta description tag. That's it.
It will not bring you immediate visitors, but will help you in long term success of your website.
P.S. Do the basic SEO of your website casually. Don't spend too much time on it, else you will start hating it.
2. Social Bookmarking: Social Bookmarking is not just one of the fastest ways to get free traffic on your site, posting your link on do-follow social bookmarking sites can help you get backlinks for your site.
However, make sure that you go only go for those bookmarking sites whose page rank is more than 2. Don't go for new and irrelevant do-follow social bookmarking sites. Google sees it as spamming and can lead to reduction in your search engine rankings.
3. Use Social Media: Social Media is the most entertaining way to get free traffic on your website. Its basically because unlike social bookmarking, you interact with a lot of people on various social media sites. You MUST create a Facebook page, twitter profile and Google Plus page of your website. And must post regularly (about your website) on such sites.
You must also follow other profiles and pages through your account, and must interact with them. This will help you gain loyal followers and friends on such sites.
However, you must have a few followers and likes on your twitter profile and facebook page to kickstart your social media campaign. Having some followers increases your reputation and increases the confidence of users in your page. So, you can use websites like traffup and twiends to achieve so. Where twiends help you in providing you free twitter followers, traffup provides you free facebook likes, twitter followers, favorites and retweets.
4. Article Marketing: This is a very vast topic and consist of things like article submissions, blog creation, youtube promotion etc.
If your website doesn't contain too much content for you to promote it, you must create its blog to improve your SEO rankings.
Submitting content about your website on good article submission sites would help you to gain instant, and everlasting, traffic on your sites.
5. Stumble Upon, Reddit and Traffup: Make excessive use of sites like Stumble Upon, Reddit and Traffup to get instant traffic on your sites.
All you need to do is to post the link of different posts on such sites. Where Stumble and Reddit may or may not produce instant traffic, traffup will definitely provide you free traffic on your site for as much as you want. It also supports geo-targeting.
Make sure that you write attractive, original and useful content on your website to attract more users on such websites. You can also include share buttons below the blog post to allow users to share your content with their friends and followers.
Use all the above 5 ways together to ensure both short term and long term visitors on your website or blog. You will realize how easy it is to get free traffic on your sites, something that you have always paid for.
But do make sure that getting website traffic is relative easier than retaining that traffic on your site. So, make sure that the content (or service) of your website is of top-notch quality to not just retain the existing user, but also compelling them to share your sites with others.
