Here are a few of the most popular way to get traffic to your site - for free:
- Web 2.0
- Articles Directories
- Video Marketing
And here’s how to use each method…
Web 2.0 Methods
Web 2.0 simply means the new family of websites that have user-generated content. What this means for you is that you can join into the community and add your own content. And because of the highly interactive and popular nature of these sites, Google and other search engines “index” their content regularly. The benefit of this to you is that your content is now considered as part of these sites. By placing links to your websites in this content you’ve created, you get traffic from the site and search engine ranking for the keywords you choose. The direct traffic from the Web 2.0 sites themselves is only part of the benefit. How to generate web 2.0 traffic is something we’ve only scratched the surface on. I don’t want to be exhaustive - I want to give you an overview of all the methods…
Articles Sites
The next thing we want to talk about is article marketing. Article directories fall under the category of web 2.0 sites. Just like web 2.0 sites, article websites allow you to upload your own content - as articles. And because they are also considered authority sites by the search engines you get all the benefits of other web 2.0 sites just by putting your articles on them. And the hidden benefit here is that your reach grows as other people take your articles and put them on their blogs and sites. And along with your article, they have to include your author information and a link back to you - so you get more free traffic and SEO benefits. Here are a couple article marketing traffic tips:
- First, spend the time to determine your keywords
- Write specifically to target these keywords
- Be sure to link to your site on the keywords you’ve chosen. Do this inside the article itself and in your author’s bio.
Video
And finally, we need to talk about getting traffic from videos. Here to we’re really looking at a web 2.0 sub-category. So, just like article marketing, video marketing enables you to add content to authority sites. And in addition to this, because Google and the others love video so much, you can get listed for highly competitive keywords much more easily.
Here’s how to get free traffic using video…
- Set up your YouTube account
- When people view your videos, you want them to visit your site, so turn all the other modules in your profile off
- Add tags to your profile
- Add a link to your website
- Upload at least 1 video
- For each video use your keywords in the tags, the descriptions and the title
