Free traffic is great but worthless if you just get hits and not targeted website visitors. So whenever you are busy generating free traffic keep an eye on what the people are doing at your website. In one word: Tracking!!! This is major important for any online business and quite often overlooked by "newbies". If you do not track your visitors, then you will not succeed on the net!

Like you know there are many ways to get free traffic to your website. What you might not know is, that all or most of them work. They are there because they work, otherwise nobody would use them! It is just the way how you use these free traffic programs that can either result in getting hits or getting targeted visitors. In case to get real targeted visitors you need to combine several programs in a way that you convert un-targeted hits into targeted visitors. This is most important and separates the losers from the winners. There are many ways to do this and not all can be covered in this article but if you understand the basic procedure once, then you will know how to do this with many different free programs.
An Example Of Traffic Conversion:
1.) You need your very own Lead Generating Website or how they call it today: a Squeeze Page
2.) You use manual click exchanges to drive traffic to your Squeeze Page
3.) You offer a free ebook at your Squeeze Page for people who sign up for your list or newsletter
4.) You deliver the free ebook with a welcome message
5.) You deliver more free useful stuff
==> Now you can get traffic to any website you want by sending out one email.
6.) You Sign Up for free co-registration programs
7.) You install the co-registration script on your websites and get more free leads
This is one free method to get an unlimited stream of free targeted traffic. You can maximize this stream of free traffic by implementing a viral effect:
1.) You create a free ebook about the technique explained above, including your referral links of the free traffic programs
2.) You promote the free ebook on your Squeeze Page, give it away for free.
3.) You promote your free ebook through many more free ways like free directories, search engines, giveaway events and others.

Targeted traffic is the life blood of any website. Everyone accepts that. Yet, many people struggle to find the key to unlock floods of traffic to their website and eventually give up trying. The failure rate in any new business is high, but in internet marketing it is catastrophic. The main cause of this failure is the lack of targeted website traffic.
You can easily overcome this by taking a few simple steps that will guarantee to increase the number of visitors to your website. You can do this without pay-per-click or other forms of direct advertising and the tools you need to do this are free and readily available.
If you are not using these techniques now, start today!
1. Take advantage of free keyword research.
Search engines need to know what your site is about in order to send targeted traffic. And you need to know what people are actively searching for so you can build pages using keywords people search for. Free tools to help in your research are available from Google, Wordtracker, SEO Tools and others. Just do a Google search and you'll find lots of help.
2. Make sure your power keywords are in your meta tags.
There is some debate about whether meta tags are as valuable as they once were. But why take the chance. Give yourself the edge and make sure your meta tags are keyword rich but don't include a hundred keywords - this will end up harming rather than helping you.
3. Exchange links.
Make sure you only exchange links with sites that complement and add value to your own product/service. You can easily find thousands of potential partners by googling. If your website is about dogs, Google for: dogs "link exchange". If you engage in indiscriminate link exchanges it probably won't bring you any extra traffic and the search engines may actually penalize you.
4. Join and use forums.
Find forums that are related to your product or service and introduce yourself. Make appropriate comments but do not use blatant advertising. Most forums don't permit it except in specified sections. By making helping suggestions, answering questions and including your website in your signature you will begin to build a presence and attract targeted traffic to your site
5. Submit your site to directories.
This is an obvious method that is often overlooked. Submit other pages in addition to your main landing page. The more pages you submit, the more links and the more potential targeted traffic. Do not submit the same page to the same directory more often than once each month.
6. Ask your visitors what they want.
Post a survey on your site to find out what your current visitors are looking for. This can even be done with a pop-up. When you find out what they want, try to give it to them. Chance are other people will be searching for the same things.
7. Write and submit articles.
This is a time proven method of getting free targeted visitors. Share your knowledge with others and they will often visit your site. Include links to your website in the article's resource area and submit your article to as many directories as possible. You can do the submission yourself, use software to ease the load or go first class and use an article submission service. Whatever method you choose, do it. It is the best way to flood your site with visitors!
