Increasing free website traffic and top Google rankings are the holy grail of webmastering. While some website owners will ignore search engine optimization, most of us would rather not have to buy our traffic.



A website without traffic is a lonely place, and getting more traffic really comes down to two things. First, adding pages to your site, and second, adding more inpointing links. Below are some link building techniques that allow you to leverage your efforts.

Getbookmark.com (http://www.getbookmark.com) -- This tool allows you to add a page to many social bookmarking sites with just a few clicks.

This tool allows you to increase the number of inpointing links to both your site and other sites that link to yours. You can use this tool to quickly bookmark pages on your site or any other to many bookmarking sites at once.

Use it to boost the rankings of articles you've submitted, Squidoo lenses and blogs you control, and link partner sites. Bookmark one of your pages per month and one of your articles per month and you'll add about 1,000 links per year to your pages.

The Unique Article Wizard (http://www.uniquearticlewizard.com) -- Article marketing is one of the best ways to increase free website traffic through link building. There's a disadvantage, though, in that it takes a lot of time and effort. There are also never any guarantees that your article will be republished.

Since you're spending all this time creating articles anyway, you may as well do something to turbo charge your efforts. The Unique Article Wizard maximizes your article marketing efforts by submitting your articles to hundreds of blogs, sites, and article directories.

In addition, unique versions of your articles are created that read perfectly well and help to make more of your links count. If you submit 10 articles per month, at the end of a year you'll have an additional 10,000 or more inpointing links to your site.

Submit to RSS directories -- Submitting your RSS feed to RSS directories can increase exposure and add links to your site. Fresh links are good links, and this idea can generate more free website traffic by adding fresh links to your site on a regular basis. Many of these directories will republish the snippets from your RSS feed with a link back to your site each time you post.

If you submit your RSS feed to 20 of these directories, you'll add 20 links back to your site each time you create a new page. Build one page per week, and you'll get over 1,000 additional links per year to your site.

Use Tumblr (http://www.tumblr.com) -- Tumblr allows you to set up a blog. It's simple to use and you can create as many links as you want to any site. You can also have multiple Tumblr URLs. Use the RSS feature to set it up so that each time you create a new page on your site, it republishes the snippet and gives you a link back to your site automatically.

Try out these techniques and with minimal additional effort, you'll generate additional free website traffic. Start employing these techniques today and you'll efficiently add hundreds of links to your website.
