Promoting a website can be very challenging when you do not have the funds to promote your website effectively. If you are faced with this problem, you do not have to give up on the idea of having a successful online business or website. There are solutions to this problem. All you need to do is promote your website using free online generating traffic methods.
What you must first understand is this; you will basically be trading purchased web based traffic for web traffic generated by you doing work. You will either pay for web traffic or you will work to create it! It's just that simple. If you have money to purchase pay-per-clicks ads than you buy this type of web traffic with little or no work involved on your part to generate it, but if you do not have the funds to purchase this traffic, you will be left with only one solution, you have to create it!
You will know from the very beginning if you will have the funds to buy your web traffic. This is usually decided during your planning process of making money online with your website. If you designed a website without planning the process, you'll have more problems than just getting web traffic to your site. The designing process is very important, especially if your website is going to need free web traffic from the search engines. Your website must be optimized for success, using proper keywords, titles, and links. This is referred to as search engine optimization or SEO. This will be very important because if it is done correctly, your website will rank high in the search engines giving you massive amounts of free web traffic.
Now, that you have an optimized website, you'll be ready to generate additional free web traffic to your website. Let's begin with free traffic generating methods.
There are a few methods that can be utilized with this technique. They are;
Article marketing
Video Marketing
Viral Marketing
Social Media Marketing
Blogging
Free classified ads
Article marketing is the method utilized to generate free web traffic by submitting articles to article directories. This technique is powerful for two reasons. One, your article will have a link attached giving you free web traffic when the reader clicks on your link. Two, these additional links on the internet can help with your websites' ranking in the search engines. The more incoming links you have the better your website will get ranked, giving you additional free web traffic.
Video marketing is a method of creating videos for advertising your website. You must have a link attached to this video to make this strategy work. The better the videos you create, the more web traffic you will receive. This method is like article marketing; however, you are using videos to deliver the same message. Many website promoters write an article and then make a video on the same article, doubling your work and getting twice as many leads on the same topic.
Viral marketing is another great technique used to generate free web traffic. Viral marketing is usually in the form of free ebooks, written and given away to not only deliver a message but to generate free web traffic through links and banners within the ebook. If someone is giving you a free ebook, you can rest assure it's to promote their web business or a product. Articles and videos can also be viral. You should use any viral method you can to promote you website.
Social media marketing has become huge over the last couple of years. This technique is used to draw in customers on a friendly concept, but the sole purpose of this marketing is to grab additional leads for your web business or website. You have to be careful with this technique because a lot of social networks do not allow you to advertise your business on these networks. If you can be creative and careful, you will be able to grab many leads using this method.
Bogging and forum marketing is another great way of getting your website recognized. If you can write on blogs daily, you can get a lot of free traffic. This technique can be time consuming but if you want free traffic you must put in the work to generate it!
Free classified ads is another way of getting your website noticed. This technique requires creativity. You can not advertise your website free of charge. You have to promote a product or service linking to your website that makes this technique free. If you can be creative, this technique can work well, but like social media sites, you must find a way to hide your URLs or you could get banned.
These methods are the same methods that I have been using to promote my websites for years. You must first start with an optimized website, and the additional web traffic will follow. Search engine optimization is the most important free web traffic you can produce for results.
