Are you frustrated that you're not getting any traffic to your website? Can't afford expensive Pay-Per-Click campaigns? Then you're very fortunate to have discovered this article. After reading this article, you will know 10 traffic strategies that will boost your business. 7 Free Traffic Strategies



#1 Article Marketing

In comparison to the other free traffic strategies, article marketing is still the king. Peruse the internet marketing literature and you are sure to find this one mentioned. Ok, so article marketing is ubiquitous, but does it still actually work? The answer is, yes! Just make sure article is honestly geared to informing your reader. Do not sell to them or they will click away in an instant.

#2 Squidoo Lenses

This traffic strategy is increasingly gaining steam and is now almost as popular as article marketing. Having a squidoo lense is analogous to having your own personal website. The built-in advantage of a squidoo lense is that Google loves them! The downside is that Squidoo will show advertisements on your lenses, but they really don't detract from your content. Write a very informative lenses (don't make it salesy or too promotional) and then include a link to your website. Like article marketing, if the user is pleased with your content, chances are they will go ahead and click to your site.

#3 YouTube

Of all the free traffic strategies, I predict video marketing will overtake article marketing in the future for the mere reasons that people are instantly stimulated visually. You can easily make a youtube video by putting together PowerPoint slides, using your own pictures, or using Camtasia. Watermark your video with a link to your site and include a link in the resource box.



#4 Yahoo Answers

This technique is underutilized, but effective. People who post questions in Yahoo Answers many times have legitimate problems and are seeking help. If you think you have the solution to their problem, answer their question in an honest, detailed way. Avoid hype AT ALL COSTS. At the end of your answer, include a link to your website.

#5 Blogs and Forums

Just like the other free traffic strategies, the important point to keep in mind is quality information. Find blogs related to your site, and make relevant, informative posts. Do not sound spammy, or your post may be deleted. Many blogs allow you to link to your site, so include it at the end of your post. Again, for forums, make quality posts and in your signature include a link to your site.
