Targeted Traffic to Your Blog/
Website
How do I get free targeted traffic to my blog
or website?
This question is becoming most
asked question in the online community.
Everybody seems to be finding a better way to
get thousands of visitors to their sites
without paying a single dime. It is a good idea
anyways. Not everybody has the resource to
go for paid advertisement especially the
newbies. There are two types of traffic has
regards our topic – Free and Paid.
The paid traffic deals with paying a certain
amount to buy advertisement from
advertising company like Google Adwords,
Yahoo Ads, Facebook Ads, etc. But our focuse
today is how we can generate targeted traffic
to our blog/website free of charge. And there
are numerous ways to do this. Below, I have
listed few ways (I can remember at the
moment) to get free targeted traffic to your
websites/blogs.
Free Traffic Sources:
Article Marketing
Video Marketing
Blog Marketing/Joint Venturing
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Niche Forums
Blog Commenting

etc)

That is the update for now. Before you go, say
a little ‘Thank You’ by clicking on any of the
buttons below (Facebook, Twitter or Google
+1)
Once our website gets live, we implement Google
Analytics or any other traffic tracking software
on our website with the intention that we will
start seeing 100’s of visitors to our website from
day one. But that does not happen except you are
starting a website around big brand or advertising
a lot about your new website. So we need to work
really hard to increase our website daily traffic
from zero to 100 and then from 100 to 1000.
If spend time on Internet to find out ways to
increase traffic to your website, you will come
across 100 plus ways at least. But all of them
will not work for you. You need to go for the ways
that actually helps you improve your website
traffic. If you are selling services, products or
plain advertisements on your blog, your revenue
will depend a lot on your website traffic. As your
website traffic increase, sales, leads and money
from direct advertisement will increase
accordingly. Suppose I’m able to make $200 from
advertisements on my website with a monthly
traffic of 6000. If I’m able to double my traffic in
next six months type somehow, my monthly
earnings from advertisements should reach near
$400.
In today’s article, I’m going to share 20 tips that
will help website owners and bloggers increase
traffic to their websites and blogs for free.
1. Write High Quality Contents
As you know more content means more traffic for
your website. So you should look at ways to
publish more content on your website on regular
intervals. It would be great if you could add 2-3
new articles on your website around your website
niche. And before writing article around a topic,
you should do some keyword research around the
keyword you want to target through that article.
2. Active on Social Bookmarking Websites
If you are feeling that your website content are
good enough to shared on social networks, start
sharing them on social bookmarking websites. If
your website contents are good, other peoples on
social bookmarking websites would like to read,
share, vote and comment on them. When we
submit our website articles on these websites,
that will help us drive some instant traffic to our
website, help towards faster indexing of website
contents, brand building and high quality
backlinks for better search engine rankings. So I
would suggest you start sharing some of
interesting articles from your website on top
social bookmarking networks including Digg,
Delicious, Reddit, Google Buzz, Humsurfer etc. if
any of your article gets viral on these networks,
you can get even 10000 hits from these social
bookmarking websites in a single day on your
website.
3. Use Yahoo Answers
I have seen lots of Internet marketers using
Yahoo Answers effectively for driving lots of
targeted traffic on their websites. I himself have
used Yahoo Answer on some of my websites in
health niche. I was able to get even 100 visits
from Yahoo Answers in a single day. To be
successful with Yahoo Answers, you should start
answering questions in niche you are most
interested in and knowledgeable about. Your
interest and knowledge should match with the
website for whom you are thinking of driving
additional traffic. I have noticed lots of Yahoo
Answers results appearing in search engine
results for related queries. Apart from search
engine traffic, Yahoo Answers has its own huge
fan base that used to browse various categories
to get solutions for their problems. You should
aim at solving the answer problem with your
answer and your answer should not look like a
marketing copy of your website. If you do so,
your account will be suspended. If other members
in Yahoo Answers community feel that your
answer is the right answer, they will vote for you
and the answer with maximum votes will be
declared a winner. The only downside I feel with
Yahoo Answer is that all links that we add on
Yahoo Answer are nofollow, so we will not get
any search engine rankings benefits on Google at
least. And we need to be active on Yahoo Answers
to keep on getting regular stream of traffic from
it on our website. For one of my blog for which I
used Yahoo Answers for driving additional traffic
has so far given me 20000 plus visits. Here is a
screenshot showing traffic that I get from Yahoo
Answers for that website.
4. Create Squidoo Lenses
Squidoo gives us the facility to create pages
popularity known as lenses around topics of our
interest. I have seen lots of people are able to get
100 plus visits on their single lens only every day
because Squidoo is top authority website and
chances of our content getting higher rankings
are quite good if they are published on Squidoo as
compared to our own websites. I have even
noticed some people are able to make their living
from Squidoo lenses only. People use Squidoo
lenses to publish their knowledge and interest
around a particular topic. So lots of people use
Squidoo for creating topical pages. Apart from
this lot of guys from seo and blogging
communities use Squidoo to build traffic,
backlinks and branding for their websites.
Squidoo has a huge database of visitors, so lots
of people will use Squidoo categories and search
options to find desired information. Apart from
this, Squidoo lenses rank really high on search
engines. So you can expect good amount of high
quality traffic coming to your website from
Squidoo. You should include few links pointing to
your website targeted pages from Squidoo lenses
to get maximum benefit of Squidoo lens creation.
5. Create Hubpages
Like Squidoo, we can get some additional traffic
to our website by creating hubs on Hubpages.com
website. More and more Internet marketers have
started including websites like Squidoo and
Hubpages into their website promotion plan as
these websites give them good traffic and
backlinks to help them with promoting their
websites.
6. Write Guest Posts
Next thing I would recommend doing is writing
guest postson top blogs in your niche. You should
create a list of most popular blogs in your
website niche and contact them with the
intension to contribute guest posts on their blogs.
Most of bloggers will reply positively as blogs
need lots of new content on the targeted topics.
Once a blogger shows interest in accepting your
guest post, you should write a high quality guest
post matching that blog niche and follow the
guideless given by that blog owners, you should
follow during guest blogging on that blog. Once
your guest post gets publish, you should share it
on social networks where you are active and
reply to incoming comments on your guest post.
You will get lots of additional benefits apart from
instant traffic from guest blogging efforts. You
can expect receiving few clicks to 1000 plus
visits to your website from a single guest post
depending upon your writing style and the
popularity of blog where your guest post is
actually published.
7. Work As An Expert in Discussion Forums
There are thousands of active discussion forums
available, so you will end up getting few
discussion forums that are active in your website
niche. You should start replying to open threads
for which you have a solution. With most of
discussion forum, you can add few links to your
website in Signature sections. So if people find
your solution really helpful, they may go to your
website to know more about you and your website
services. You should not think of spamming these
forums with unrelated self-promotional links. If
you do so, your account will be banned from that
discussion forum. You can expect some regular
traffic and backlinks for your website from
discussion forums matching your website niche.
8. Do Lots of Blog Commenting
Make a list of high traffic blogs matching your
blog and start making comments on them. As you
know, you get a backlink from each approved
comment that you write on other blogs. So lots of
readers on those blogs will click on the link
placed against your website and thus will bring
more traffic to your website. To get maximum
traffic to your blog commenting efforts, you
should try to the first commenter on most of
posts as your comment will be more read and
clicked there. Lots of people use Google Reader
to track their favorite blogs for doing comments.
As they notice a new post publishing on any of
blog, they will simply go and write their valuable
comments so that their comments are actually
approved by the blog owners.
9. Do Article Submissions
Write some high quality and interesting articles
around your website niche and start publishing
them on 5-10 top article publishing websites.
Most of article directories will allow you 2-3
links in Author sections that you can use to drive
traffic to your website targeted pages. Some high
quality backlinks from article publishing
websites will help you get top rankings for the
targeted keywords and that means more traffic
for your website from search engines.
10. Do Press Releases
You should write press release if you adding new
product or functionality to your website and
submit that on top press release accepting
websites. Some topics you can think of doing
press release can be latest news, latest
development on your website products or
services, latest trends etc. If people likes your
press release, they will click on your website
links that you have placed in your press release.
Apart from this, you will be able to get additional
links for your website for improving your website
search engine rankings and Google Page Rank.
11. Add Links for Your Website on Wikipedia.org
I would advise you to create a page around your
brand name on Wikipedia.org website. Apart from
this, you should find some topics that you have
covered in detail on your website and add links to
those pages in Wiikipedia.org articles References
or External Links section. For one of my blog, I
got 21000 plus visits so far from Wikimedia.org
website where I have added a link to one of my
blog post in Wikipedia article’s External Links
Section. Here is a screenshot showing the same:
12. Facebook Fan Page
Start a Fan Page around your brand and start
promoting it. Look for ways to increase your
Facebook Fan Base. We don’t need to discuss the
popularity and the kind of user base Facebook
has. Lots of businesses are able to survive using
Facebook marketing only. Having a fan page with
thousands of fans will not only help you get lots
of direct traffic to your website from your fan
page but also helps you improve your website
search engine ranking and brand awareness. I
have created a Fan Page for Bloggers Passion
here, in case you want to check and like my Fan
Page.
13. Twitter Profile
Create a strong presence on Twitter and start
sharing interesting articles from your website on
Twitter. You should write engaging and
knowledgeable tweets on Twitter. If people find
your tweets interesting, they will click on your
website links. You should include some related
tags towards the end of your tweet using hash
tag. When you use hash tag with your tweets,
people may find your tweets while searching for
topics of their interest using Twitter search
functionality. You can follow Bloggers Passion on
Twitterhere .
14. Use Classified Websites
If you are a website focused around certain
services or products, you should use classified
websites. You will get highly relevant traffic
when you do classified submissions as most of
users visit classified websites to get solutions
for their problems. So if they like your product or
services, they will surely go for it. So classified
websites will help you with more traffic, sales
and branding of your website.
15. Directory Submissions
You should submit your website into high PR web
directories. Apart from high PR directories, I
would recommend submitting your website into
web directories having Alexa in five figures and
directories that are related to your website niche
and demographics. Submission into web
directories will give you some gradual traffic and
keyword based links which will help you improve
your website search engine rankings and thus
help you in increasing traffic for your website.
16. Search Engine Submissions
If you have a brand new website, you should
submit your website to some popular search
engines. Submitting your website into those
search engines will help your website faster
indexing into their databases and chances of
increasing more traffic to your website from
most popular search engines.
17. RSS Feed Submissions
If you are offering RSS Feeds facility to your
website readers that they can use to subscribe to
keep track of latest content coming on your
website. I would suggest you submit your RSS
feeds into RSS directories. There are hundreds of
active RSS directories where you can submit your
website RSS. Again you will get some traffic and
backlinks for your website through RSS
submissions.
18. Use Your Website Links in Email Signature
It is advised to add a link for your website in all
of your email signatures. Presence of your
website links in signature sections will help
people know in detail about you and your
company. And when you send emails to someone
who is receiving your email for the first time,
may even go on checking your website by clicking
the link available in your email signature.
19. Show Your Presence in Groups
You should join and be active on groups that are
focused around the topics you cover on your
website. You will get lots of targeted groups on
Google Groups, Yahoo Groups and Facebook
Groups section.
20. Do Link Exchange
Link exchange is still effective if done properly.
While doing link exchange, you should go for
websites and blogs only are related to your
website niche. So when you get seo optimized
links from related websites and blogs, will help
you drive lots of traffic to your website from
Google, Yahoo and Bing.
