There are plenty of effective ways to generate website traffic at zero cost. However, it is very important to understand that whatever strategy you may use in your campaign to generate traffic for your blog or website, you must be very professional and genuine as well as consistent in your approach.
I hope you will find the following tips useful and start to incorporate them in your online marketing campaigns.
1. Generate quality keyword rich content
Publishing quality content centered around popular keywords on your blog or website is perhaps the most important factor in generating traffic to your site. It is very important for you to understand that your target is to attract both human readers as well as search engine spiders.
Therefore you must focus on developing quality content that has the capability to capture your readers´ attention so they will stay within as well as return to your website. You should also keep an eye on the frequency with which you are using your keywords. An excessive use of keywords in the content of your website might have negative effects on your website traffic campaign. For instance, search engines may ignore your website altogether when listing the search results for a specific keyword. So be very prudent in your use of keywords within the content of your site. Generally, you will get the best results by employing the chosen keyword(s) once every 80-100 words.
2. Submitting your site to search engines and web directories
Once your blog or website is up and running and you have filled it with at least a bit of quality keyword rich content, it is time for you to take the next big step. In order to generate more free web site traffic you need to submit the URL of your blog or website to all major search engines, such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.
Also, there are various website directories, the most important probably being Dmoz, that play an important role in every successful online marketing campaign. Therefore, do not forget to submit the URL of your website to these directories (just type ‘web directories’ into Google) as well as a number of social bookmarking services like Digg, StumbleUpon, delicious, etc. Submission to search engines and website directories is one of the most effective ways to get free website traffic. Unfortunately, many of these services take their time – smetimes weeks or even months – listing new URLs. (For webmasters who are in a hurry some of them offer paid inclusion of URLs that will only take a day or two.)
3. Submit articles to article directories
Another great and easy way to generate more website traffic is to write articles (approximately 300-500 words) and submit them to free article directories such as ezineaticles.com, goarticles.com, etc. This method generates free blog/website traffic in two ways. First, because the articles carry the link to your website the visitors who come across these articles will very likely follow this link and visit your website as well. Secondly, because these are free articles and people can use them on their own blogs and websites the link to your website will show up on a lot of other sites. This way you will enjoy even more web site traffic coming from other websites – and it won´t cost you a thing.
Good luck!
