Twitter:

Remain active. Don’t automate everything.

Don’t overly self promote.

Use Prismatic to help find other material to promote.

Facebook and Google+:

Get involved like you would with forum marketing.

Provide resources, ask questions, etc.

Start your own group when your brand reach gets far enough.

With a little determination and dedication, and a plenty of time, you can take advantage of any or all of these free traffic generation methods and skyrocket your online business to new heights.

The Ultimate Guide on Free Traffic Generation for Beginners Part-3

Creating and Optimizing Your Webpage

We’ve reached the most critical part of search engine optimization/marketing. To keep the search engines happy, you must give them what they want to find, so you can compete effectively. The search engines are constantly changing their ranking algorithms, so getting things right from the get go will help you weather the changes. Read on to find out more about what the search engines want to know.

Search the keywords you want to rank for in Google, and take a close look at the top 10 sites to get an understanding of what has them ranking so high.

Study them and look at the following:

Content

Keyword placement
Keyword density
Keyword counts
Link popularity
Word counts
While you’re already looking at the competition, take note about how they are using color, graphics, testimonials, and white space. This can help you spark ideas to improve the overall look and feel of your website. Emulating success is a technique people have used for decades, and you can make it work for you. One caveat: Don’t plagiarize the website’s content!

If you try to do all of this on your own manually, you’ll be busy for a while. Search Google for “analyzing keyword density” and you’ll find a number of free tools to help you get the job done.

Uploading Your Website Pages

Each time you make a change to your website, no matter how minor, upload the new version. It will help keep your page current and will attract the search engine robots. Change triggers new content in the eyes of the search spider… and this is a good thing.

One of the hottest concepts many smart Internet marketers use is “long tail keywords” because they have a specific purpose in your search engine optimization and marketing plans. Long tail keywords are three or more words creating a very specific search, and most consumers use them before they actually make a purchase.

The majority of searches are generic and limited to one or two words, like “dinner ideas” and “hunting.” These searches are testing the waters or looking for broad information before they decide more. When a consumer is ready to buy, they will search with more specifics, which means longer phrases to narrow down the results. The simple searches from before turn into things like “chicken alfredo recipe” and “hunting bows and arrows”.

Conventional wisdom says there is a well defined buying process consumers follow both online and offline. The first steps involve the customer wanting something and looking for information about it online. Then, they will find it and compare features and prices to determine if they can afford it or if they actually want it. During this stage, you’ll see those generic two word searches.

Once they decide to make a purchase, they search again using long tail keywords to specifically define what they are looking to buy, and this is where you come in to attract them to your website. Use the same methods are using to find what they want—by targeting your website and content to those long tail keywords targeted to your product or service.

As a marketer, long tail keywords offer you two main benefits:

Long tail keywords rank better with the search engines than generic short tail keywords do.
Those searching with long tail keywords are serious about locating what they are looking for and are much more likely to become a customer
Opting for this tactic will require additional pages on your website because of the number of combinations pertaining to your products or services, but the good news is, Google loves more pages. The robots crawling your site will think you are bigger and more important. Your new pages don’t have to be completely different than the other pages on your website, but they should be different versions with a focus on the long tail keywords, which will narrow the focus of that page to the more specific topic.

Making a few simple changes can make a world of difference in your traffic. By making a unique title with a unique long tail keyword for each new page, and using the keyword in your keyword in the description, keywords, headline and body of content, you will attract more people. Make sure that you don’t get so specific in your keywords that you are not attracting the traffic you want.

To keep a variety of different customers visiting your site, change your focus. Create some pages to send you traffic from generic keywords, and create a few to send you traffic from the long tail keywords. Though you may see less traffic from those keywords, you’ll end up with more targeted traffic, and that is what will make you the most money.

This entire search engine optimization process is a delicate balancing act that can either make or break your business. It is a learning process that you can master with good research and a dash common sense. Search engine optimization is a delicate process that requires a lot of balance, and when done incorrectly, it can make or break your business. You can master it with research and common sense.

Just don’t get so wrapped up in SEO that you don’t actually do any marketing yourself—that happens to a lot of marketers!

Free Traffic Generation using Video Marketing

If you’re looking for another good way to generate traffic to your website, look to video marketing. Though it takes a bit more time to create videos, it can be helpful. Just be sure you create a balance between videos and other methods, until you see what is working well enough for you to continue working on the videos.

If you are working in a computer or Internet related niche, you can make videos much easier, because you can use a screen-casting program to record your screen while you talk about what you’re doing. This is also a good choice for people who are not too keen on the idea of appearing in front of the camera, but still want to use video marketing to draw traffic.

If you make use of conference calls to reach out to your interested customers so they can learn more about what you have to offer, screen-casting software can be used to record this session as a video.

Screen-casting software options include:

AVI Screen: Free
Cam Studio: Free
Adobe Captivate: Commercial
Screen Flow: Commercial, Mac software
Jing: Free, with limitations
If you are outside of this niche, you will need to invest in a video camera and a tripod, and spend time editing videos to make them useful for your audience. Once you have videos, you will want to create a YouTube account. If you already have a Google account for Gmail or another service like Google Analytics, then you can use that for YouTube, too. Google owns YouTube, so starting your own channel there can naturally boost your SEO so you start to see more traffic.

Invite people to become subscribers to your YouTube channel by including a link to it with your social media icons. Subscribers will be notified whenever you post a new video.

Include a link to your YouTube channel with your social media icons and you can invite people to subscribe to your channel. When someone subscribes to your channel, they will get a notification whenever you post a new video.

It is also a good idea to include your videos in your blog posts, so you have a cross promotional tool. This way, if someone finds your blog post, they can be drawn to your YouTube channel, and if someone finds your video, they can be drawn back to your blog.

Free traffic generation using Twitter

Twitter is another great free traffic promotional tool. Though it can take awhile to see results from this tactic due to the fact that you must first build an audience of followers, targeted to be your customers, it is worth checking out.

Twitter plugin for wordpress

In order for Twitter to work, you must become actively involved with the community and do more than just talk about yourself and what you have to offer. If the only thing you do is talk about yourself, then no one is going to listen, and you’ll quickly get lost in the shuffle.

Like you do with forum marketing, take the time to find things that will be useful to your audience, whether or not they are yours originally. For every piece of your own content you share, share at least 10 others that don’t originate with you. The relationships you create on Twitter can help you find others who will share your content with their followers, if you share theirs with yours.


Using a tool such as Prismatic can help you find useful information in nearly any niche you can imagine. Prismatic comes with automatic share links, but if you want to save yourself time and batch your social media efforts, you can use a tool such as HootSuite Pro. For just $5.99/month, you will have the ability to schedule posts. Though it can be tempting, you should never automate all your social media efforts—if people realize there is not a real person behind the account, they’ll ignore it and you’ll get lost in the shuffle.

Using Facebook and Google+ Groups

Facebook and Google+ are used to generate traffic the same way you use forum marketing, except social media, rather than a forum, is the platform. Get the best use of these networks by searching for groups related to your interest. There are groups for nearly any niche imaginable, and they’re full of people who are targeted.

Facebook and google groups for traffic generation.Draw traffic to your website by becoming actively involved in these groups, by offering useful information and building a credible reputation. Never spam the groups. Ask questions. Answer them. Provide resources. If the only reason you’re participating in a group is for promotional purposes, it will show, and you will be ignored.

Once your own brand and community has expanded because of your efforts, it may be a good idea to start your own group on Facebook, Google+ or both, so that your followers can come together and discuss your products and services. They can get together and talk about how the product has helped them, how they will use it, get help from other users, etc. while giving you a testimonial base to draw in more customers. You’ll also have it as a customer service vehicle, which is critical once your business gets up and running.

Increasing Traffic with Forums

Forums are all over the Internet with a niche focus on nearly anything you can imagine. Internet marketing and making money at home are among the most popular forum niches today, and could be for some time to come.

To find a forum focused on your niche, all you need to do is search for your niche keywords and add the word forum. You’ll find a list of options in the results, but you will want to be careful about joining too many. Part of the value of forum traffic comes from your participation, so you’ll want to choose one or two to join. If you see any that charge a premium, you can consider those, too, but free forums can give you the same, if not better, results.

Why? Members will have the same problems, needs, and questions, regardless of whether or not they are paying members. Those members also have buying power for products they find useful or resources they need.

Traffic generate using forum

When you first join a new forum, you will want to look for the “new member” category or thread, where you can introduce yourself and do a soft self-promotion of the product or service you are offering. Tell about who you are, where you live, what you do, and your interest and experience in the niche you just joined.

A good idea is to create a short friendly bio you can use to post in each forum introduction thread when you join a new one. The next thing you should do is fill out your profile and create a signature, also known as a sig. Your signature will appear at the bottom of every single forum post, along with any private messages you send. All you need is your screen name or your real name, your link, and a simple statement to generate clicks.

 

Here are a couple of examples:

“Robert Smith: Need a website? Contact RS Web Design to get a new website for your business!”

“Robin Patterson: Housebreaking your puppy driving you crazy? Visit Potty Training Puppy for easy solutions to get puppy going outside in no time.” (These links aren’t real. Don’t try to click them, they are just for indicative purpose.)

Whatever you decide your niche is, add your linked signature to every single posting or email you send, even emails to your mother. A carefully constructed signature is totally viral and will zip around the Web without you having to think about it again.

Add your linked signature to everything—even emails you send to your mother. A well-written signature can go viral around the Internet without you giving it a second thought.

For instance, let’s say you email your mom a recipe, and she shares it with her friends. Your email signature is going with that recipe, and those friends could share it with their friends and so on. Somewhere down the line, as that recipe email keeps circulating, you’re bound to get some traffic because someone is curious, or could really use your products or services. With your online personality out of the way, it’s time to take care of the rest of your forum marketing tactics.

Read all the categories in the forum. Get to know the moderators and how they comment. Find out who the strongest members are and what they post in terms of questions and answers. Once you have a good feel for the community, jump in and start offering your own questions and answers. Provide links to free resources.

As you continue to provide support and build a reputation for being a reliable source of information, you will become a valued community member. You are building a reputation and creating credibility so people will listen to you when it is time for you to make a sales pitch.

Many marketing forums will have an Announcement thread, where you can deliberately market your products. Before you post there, make sure you read how it is done on that forum, and make sure you are abiding by forum rules. Use the methods with your own promotional method.

If you really want to get attention to your products, offer the forum members something for free—something like a small report, software, an eBook or a set of articles—that they can use for their own purposes. Be on standby so you can answer questions, and make sure you use the product before you give it away. Don’t forget when you have a product launch, a couple of hours posting on the forums can greatly add to your sales by just including your sig link in each post.

 

When you have a product launch, spending a couple of hours posting on the forums you’re actively involved in with the link in your signature can boost your sales quite a bit.

Give it a try, and you’ll like it. You’ll definitely get a response and see a traffic increase—and it’s completely free!

Free Traffic Generation Using SEO

Making sure your website is popular with your customers and the search engines is no easy feat. It takes more than submitting your website to the searching engines (the bots will automatically find it anyway) and waiting for customers to come. You have to stay on the cutting edge of new trends, implement various techniques you learn, and put everything to good use before you can start building an online presence and working toward earning page rank.

Search engine optimization, or SEO, refers to the process of working to increase your ranks in the search engines, hopefully to the first page of results, if not the number one spot. It may sound simple, but the reality is it difficult work. If achieved, however, the benefits it provides to your business are worth the effort tenfold. Nothing of value is going to fall in your lap unless you work for it, and the same can be said for where your website ends up in the rankings.

SEO is an ongoing process with several distinct steps that, if followed and completed in a timely manner, will lead you to success. A good SEO plan will bring you a better return on your investment (ROI) than most other plans, especially online. In fact, SEO has been called “the most effective form of online marketing.”

SEO is not an instant process. It is not a one and done process. It is an on-going effort that consists of many steps. If steps are completed in a time manner, they will provide success. A killer SEO strategy will bring a better return on investment (ROI) than most other marketing plans, especially when it comes to online. SEO has been referred to as “the most effective form of online marketing” though some may argue social media is on its tail.

Let’s get started.

The goal is to bring in free traffic to expand your customer base so you have more people to market to. There are many different ways to do this, but they all come down again to three things: keyword choice, manipulation, and research.

Shortcut – It is possible to adjust your SEO until you’re blue in the face. The first 20% of your SEO will bring in 80% of your profits. Once you get something that works, don’t mess with it too much.

Here is a basic outline of steps I follow, and what works for me.

Choosing Your Keywords

Selecting the right keywords is the first thing you should do and will be the most important thing for your completed website. You need to find a balance between the competitive keywords that everyone else is going after and the less popular keywords that people are still searching for, but people aren’t competing for.

If no one is searching for information using the keywords you selected, no one will be able to find your website with a search engine. If your keywords are incredibly popular as search terms, your competition will prevent you from rising to the top of the results for those phrases.

To make it even more complex, you must choose keywords that relate to the buyers that you are trying to bring to your site. You can easily attract fire with cryptic headline or questions to spark curiosity, but you want to attract visitors were interested in buying what you have to offer. Sounds impossible, doesn’t it? You don’t have to become a mind reader to get the job done.

You can make a list of keywords based on popularity and a list of keywords based on competition. Using a tool like WordTracker, you can get a list of suggested keywords based on popularity, to save you time.

 

How Do You Measure Up With Your Rankings?

You will not be able to move up in the page rankings until you understand where you are ranking right now for the keywords you have chosen for your website and your products and services. By now, you should have a list of relevant keywords your future customers are using to search. Add these keywords throughout your website content, in the title, Meta description, and Meta tags. When used in your copy, keep the keywords near the beginning, somewhere in the middle of the copy, and again toward the end.

When you are ready to find out where you stand in the eyes of the search engine, you can use the Google Page Rank Report for free. This is an online tool to check the Page Rank values for the list of URLs you enter. Once you know where you stand and why, you can focus your efforts into improving your ranking in the search engines.

The Ultimate Guide on Free Traffic Generation for Beginners Part-1

This is a descriptive guide which helps you to generate free traffic to your blog or website. I wrote many articles on blogging tips as well as Affiliate marketing, But your blog become popular only if it gets bunch of traffic. Traffic helps you to build your blog popular & also increasing authority of your blog or website on google. And the main thing is that you can’t buy traffic which builds your authority, because a lot of methods you could find on google which called as paid traffic generation, but all these methods are spamming your authority. You could use some paid advertising like Google Ads, Social Media Ads, PPC or CPA etc but for newbies it is not possible to spend money on all of this. So you have to learn about free traffic generation methods which also helps in crawling your content on google. This article will teach you how to generate traffic to your website free.

Introduction

Let’s see if the following sounds at all familiar to you…

When you first discover Internet marketing you get all excited – and make no mistake about it, Internet marketing IS exciting.

Quite frankly the money making potential in an online business is massive and VERY easy to see…

So, you go off and learn as much as you can about it all. You learn all about how to build a website, how to FTP files and how to set up a WordPress blog. You read and learn all about email marketing and how to build a squeeze page, how to create an information product and how to launch a membership site.

So – if you were anything like me then you learnt all of this and dived right in.

But a few months or weeks down the line nothing much happened. & then it hits you like a ton of bricks…

Do you want to generate your website traffic?None of these things matter if you don’t have traffic!

Yep – you can launch all the websites you want but if you don’t have any traffic then
1.) nobody’s ever going to see them (obviously) and
2.) you’re never going to make any money.

I know it sounds really daft but this is something most newbies completely miss. They think that you can just throw up a website and hope that other people find you…

But sadly that’s never going to work. You have to actively go out and tell people about your sites.

This leaves you with two options:

1. Paid traffic generation methods and

2. Free traffic generation methods

Boost website traffic

In this article we’re going to concentrate on the latter methods – and there’s a good reason for this…

When you’re just starting out the chances are that you aren’t going to be able to afford to buy much traffic.

Paid traffic methods such as solo ads or adwords are fantastic. They DO work (and it’s possible to recover back the money you put into them AND make a profit)

… But that’s only any good if you actually have money to put into them in the first place. Free traffic methods are the answer…

But we need to get something out of the way first…

While free traffic methods DO work they require you to put in quite a bit of work. I’m being totally upfront with you about this. If you’re going to use free traffic methods then they WILL require you to put more work in than paid traffic methods. It’ll also take a little longer to see some results…

But if you’re comfortable with that then you can get some excellent results. Without further ado, let’s delve into the actual methods.

Website traffic generation methods

Article Marketing: The Worst Kept Secret to Success
Article marketing means writing interesting articles related to your niche, and then submitting them to article directories to generate links back to your website. The links to your website will help boost your search engine rankings, and if the article is interesting enough, will help bring traffic to your site.

Article Marketing Secrets for traffic generation

It’s a simple, powerful, and best of all, free way to generate interest in your website and the product or service you have to offer. When you submit your article to one of these directories, you are giving people permission to use your article as content for your site—with one condition—they won’t change the link to your website. So, this is a one two punch. You’ll have a link to your website on the article directory itself, and you’ll also get a link each time someone chooses your article as content on their own website.


Want to try this for yourself? Here’s a step-by-step process to help you get started.
