I've outlined 5 ways to reach your target. But, please keep inmind that these are not the only ways that you can do toincrease your traffic. There are hundreds of techniques toincrease traffic. But these one are the proven one. I've used itpersonally. More importantly, these techniques can get you FREEtraffic. You're money is saved in your pocket. Let's go to thefirst one.
1: Linking strategy
Linking strategy is the easiest way to get free traffic. When Isay "the easiest way" it does not mean that you can askeverybody to link to your site and do nothing after that.Compared to other techniques that you'll discover, this one willtake less time to do.
Here's how to do it. First select the site in your niche market.Be selective. Choose one that has a high traffic. Usually a hightraffic site is pretty stingy to put link to your site. So, thekey here is to be persistent. Ask them how many visitors do theyreceived per month and if they could link to your site. If theydon't answer your request, email them the second time.
Be persistent. If they don't want to link to your site, ask themto trade link instead (reciprocal link). This is the last resortyou want to have.
Word of warning: Don't crowd your site with too many links. Onlyaccept link trading if it's really worth it.
2: Offer Free eBooks or submit articles
You'll fall in love with this technique if you see what it cando to your site. This technique can create an excellent'Viralmarketing' effect. It can multiply the no of visitors to yoursite in a matter of days. This most important thing about thistechnique is that to offer something that is really useful toyour visitor. So useful that they can only get that informationfrom you!
You need to the 'wants' in your need market. What problems dothey encounter? Solve these problems and you have a killerarticles or e-book that you can give away for free. Remember,don't sell it. Give it away for free. If you feel reallyreluctant to give your article or e-book for free, you can giveyour visitors a partial of it. But, make sure it's reallyuseful. Don't forget to put your name and your contactinformation in this article or e-book. Usually, if you write anarticle, you need to include your resource box at the verybottom of your article.
The most important task in this technique is to offer a reprintright to your visitors. What this mean is that your visitors canpublish your articles or e-book to anyone in any medium; email,Ezine, website or anything. But please state your condition:Include your contact information or resource box. This willcreate viral effect to your visitors.
Before I forgot, there is one particular e-book compiler that isgood in doing this kind of task. The name of this e-bookcompiler is 'E-book Edit Pro'. With this compiler, you can offeryour visitors a customizable e-book. This is a great incentivefor them to distribute your article or e-book since they can puttheir name and information in it.
3: Classified Ad
This is the most time consuming technique compared to all 5.While it is time consuming, it is really worth it.
Tips - This technique should be used together with the abovetechnique. Let me explain:
First, you need to write an e-book or article that you can giveit away for free. Then, you need have an autoresponder. If youdon't have an autoresponder (your hosting company should providethis service for free), you can get one for free. Just type'free autoresponder' in your search engine and you'll gethundred of sites that provided free autoresponder.
Enough talking. Let's continue.
After you have your own autoresponder, place your free articlein this autoresponder. Now, you need to advertise yourautoresponder address in the classified ad website. Don't putyour email address but your autoresponder address. The best partwith this technique is that you can capture you visitor's email.You can contact them again and again if you have any offer inthe future.
4: Deliver informational pack Ezine/Newsletter
People surf the net to look for information. Out of 100, only 3people surf the net to buy something. But others are doing someresearch or try to find something informational.
With this keep in mind, you can attract people to come to yoursite if you can deliver them timely information. By producingtimely information, you glued these visitors to your sitepreventing them from going elsewhere. This can be done by givingthem free newsletter or Ezine.
This is not an easy task because there is abundance of freeinformation on the net. You need to give them somethingdifferent from these 'free' stuff. Try to provide somethingunique in your Ezine. For example, if you're publishing musicEzine, try to make a deal with music label so that you can givespecial price to your subscriber. Make sure your subscribercannot get this of kind if deal in other place. If you cancreate this unique proposition, you're already on top of theworld. Your Ezine will spread like fire. More people will cometo your site to subscribe your unique newsletter.
5: Offer affiliate program
This is the greatest FREE traffic generator technique out there.With this technique both parties win; you and your affiliateprogram participant. You get more traffic and sales, they getmore money from referral commission.
This topic is really a large topic. I can write a whole e-bookabout how to create a successful affiliate program. But, I'lldiscuss the basic thing about affiliate program in here.
Basically, to create an effective affiliate program, you need tocreate an interest for your visitor's to join your affiliateprogram. You can do this by giving them high referral fees andmarketing tools for them to use. Above all, you need to makethem easy to promote your product or service. Don't make them doall the hard work. It is your job.
The next thing you need to do is to motivate them to spread theword about you. Contact them in a timely manner. Don't forgetthem after they've joined your program. Make them feel special.In fact, they are special since they are the one who will do thepromotion and advertising. A well designed affiliate program canincrease your website traffic and sales by unimaginable amount.But again, you need to devote all you effort in this techniqueif you want to have a successful affiliate program. Don't do ithalf way. Even if you've to work 18 hours a day to create yourown affiliate program, it's really worth it in the future. Thepayoff is going to be thousand times your initial effort.
All of these techniques are free. You don't have to spend a dimeon them. Try it on your site. I've tried all these techniques.And they work!
