Getting traffic to your website is a major key to getting sales and making money. You can either pay for traffic with time or you pay with money and many times it is both. Even with pay-per-click, you will usually spend a significant amount of time in addition to a cost for each click to get targeted traffic to your website. The following are a few ways that you can get free traffic. Some of these are going to produce more targeted traffic than others, but each of these methods can get traffic to your website.

Now, blogging can be like any other website that alone isn’t going to get any traffic. However, depending on which blogging platform you use, you’ll have an instant leveraged website or web platform you can use to get traffic assuming you use the right keywords in the right places on those blog posts. For instance, Blogger.com and Wordpress.com tend to rank relatively well with the search engines, especially with Google.

You can use social bookmarking sites to get both links back to your site for the search engines as well as direct traffic from people visiting these social bookmarking sites and clicking on the links in your bookmarks. You can use sites like socialmarker.com to get a list of social bookmarking sites that can be used to bookmark your blog posts, pages on the site and also use the profile options with several of these social bookmarking sites that allow you to put links in for your websites into the profiles.

There are dozens of places on the internet that you can create mini-sites or individual pages. These sites typically will allow you to post whatever content you want to post including your own RSS feeds from your blog, other websites, articles, video or whatever else you’d like to create in these pages. The main key to success with these types of sites is to make sure that you’re posting links back to your website, especially the deep links. Those RSS feeds included in the mini-sites or pages are a great way to get links back to your site. Also, create an individual text links using html or even images.

Next to pay-per-click, articles are the best way to get your website ranked and get traffic back to your website. The main reason these article websites are so good is because the pages on which your article shows up are very relevant and the links that are allowed in the author profile or resource box. Many of the good article sites also have a lot of “authority” with the search engines and their article pages rank very well which also means that the link values passed along from these types of sites are very high.

Contributing to forums is a great way to get links back to your site as well. The downside to most forums is that they have a “nofollow” policy which means that the links aren’t “followed” by the search engines. These forums may not do as much to help you from the search engine perspective alone, but an often visited forum in a niche you’re in will get you some targeted traffic. This is usually done by adding a signature to your posts with a link. You’ll have to check with the forum to make sure this is ok and determine what their policy is regarding their signatures.

Many blogs get a lot of traffic and with the comments you can add on a lot these blogs, you’ll get people clicking through to your website. There are also what are called “dofollow” blogs that will help you with your search engine optimization as well.

These are some great ways to get free traffic but each of these requires an investment of time. If you’re willing to put in a consistent, dedicated amount of time each day or a few times per week. Consistency is a key part of success when it comes to getting traffic to your website.
