Just because something is free doesn't mean it has no value. There is no place where that is truer than on the internet. In many cases marketers give away products of high value just to entice a visitor to join their list. In this article I will be pointing out some valuable sources of free traffic. These are sources of targeted traffic also which is exactly what we are all after.
- Videos - The internet is all a buzz these days about videos. You have no doubt heard of YouTube and there are many other video sites out there as well. People love videos as they are entertaining and tell stories. The beauty of videos is that you can promote your site on them and they have the potential to be spread all across the internet if people find them interesting.
- Forums - Forums are one of the greatest ways to get free traffic. There are many forums out there so you need to search for those in your niche and join a few. Do not join more than you can actively participate in because this is the key. You must become an active participant in order to benefit from forums.
- Articles - Website owners are always looking for content and if you write articles you get to put your website link into your bio box which must be included if any other webmaster decides to use your article as content on his/her site. This way you get visitors from other websites clicking through on your links to your website.
- Social Networking - Sites like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and many others attract hundreds of millions of visitors every day. You want to be sure you have a presence at these sites as well to attract visitors to your website.
- Press Releases - News agencies are always looking for fresh content so you could provide them with press releases about your business or products or affiliate promotions.
There are many more ways to generate free targeted traffic to your website which you can do further research on. These 5 should be a great start for you.
