Four Easy Methods For Getting Free Web Traffic To Your Blog
A blog without readers is pretty much worthless. If you’ve been blogging for awhile now and have only been getting a trickle of readers to your posts, you need to put a free web traffic system into action. Learning how to create traffic is as much of a necessary skill to bloggers as writing quality posts is. Many bloggers are excellent at creating content however know very little about building traffic.
This is a quick guide to the four most popular (free and most successful) traffic building approaches.
- You Need To Be Social!
Social networking and blogging go hand in hand. Your blog posts can be distributed over social networking sites in many ways. Sign up for Twitter and tweet about your posts as soon as they are published to you blog. Update your Facebook status with a link to your new blog posts. Submit your posts to Digg.com, Reddit.com and StumbleUpon.com. etc… It’s also important to remember that in order for social networking to work, you’ll need to participate with other people in your social community. If you visit their links and respond to their updates, they’re more likely to do the same for you.
- Make Sure You’re Noticed!
Look for blogs in your niche and start following their posts. Always contribute informative as well as useful comments on their blog posts. Not only will the blog owner notice you and visit your blog, other commenter’s will also visit your blog to find out more about you and your related site. There’s no need overdue commenting, but make it a point to leave comments on several relevant blogs each day.
- Get Your Message Out There!
RSS feeds are a good way to syndicate your blog’s content so that it’s sent to a variety of people in their own blog readers or on their own sites. Most of the blogging systems have RSS feeds automatically included, however you can add extra features to your feed by using a free service like FeedBurner.com. With FeedBurner you can add things like sharing the feed via e-mail so it will pull in new readers and encourage previous visitors to come back to the blog again and again.
- Syndicate Your Blog Posts!
As a blogger you may think that there’s no need for article marketing. The truth is that you can get a lot of visitors to your blog simply by re-writing several of your most popular posts and adding them to article directory sites. You can convert your favorite posts as articles with a link back to your blog to many different article directories. Not only will you get valuable one-way links but your articles are often picked up by others who will publish them on their own blogs which will bring you more traffic.
These four ways of starting your free web traffic system can be used over and over again to help build traffic to your blog and increase up your readership.

If you’ve been working online for any length of time I’m sure that you’ve heard people saying that Affiliate Marketing is the easiest way to start an online business.
Here are some of the reasons that Affiliate Marketing is considered “easy”

- You can earn a sizable percentage of the sale
- You don’t carry inventory
So basically all you need to do is drive traffic. Now on the surface that Sounds great doesn’t it?
Well then why do over 97 percent of affiliates fail?
Is it because the majority of affiliates are lazy and don’t take action or is it because they’re not taking the right action. I believe it’s a combination of the two that results in over 97% of affiliates not making money.

The Importance of Good Traffic
Posted by: | CommentsThe Importance of Good Traffic
Nothing happens online without good targeted traffic.
That sentence is the basis to everything that has to do with the internet, and that of course includes your web site and everything you do online. Before you start applying a free web traffic system or paid for that matter it’s really important to understand that not all traffic is created equally. Your traffic must be targeted traffic in order for it to be effective.
But what is targeted traffic? It’s traffic which has already shown an interest in the topic that your site is about. So if your site is about dog training, then you should target people who have an interest in dogs, who own a dog, or who might be looking to get a dog. This also means that you should not target just anyone and everyone simply because they might have found a picture of a puppy to be cute.
You need to remember that whatever you do online to drive traffic to your web site (or your affiliate link) needs to be targeted traffic in order to get the best results. Do not be fooled by those “get a million hits to your site” services thinking that you have found the golden egg. The reality is that you will be very lucky to see any sales come out of traffic like that.
Here’s a quick example. What would you rather have, 10,000 untargeted visitors to your site of whom only 20 people convert into a sales or leads, or 1,000 targeted visitors of whom 100 converted? I would much rather have good targeted traffic over general untargeted traffic any day!
Yes, you will get less traffic overall to your site, but more of the targeted traffic will convert into a sale or leads, depending on what your objective is on your site.
Another important factor to consider is the overall objective of your web site? What do you want your visitors to do when they get to your site? I see many web sites all the time where there are 101 things I can do and click on, which generally results in doing nothing. Busy sites with a lot of links, banners, or ads can be too confusing to visitors. They are not sure what they are supposed to do with so many options for them to choose from.
Your site should be simple and focused with only a few different things that visitors can do. Along the same lines as having an objective, you also need to know what type of targeted traffic you need. Who is your target audience and who is your site made for? Once you answer these questions you’ll be able to properly start working on driving traffic using many a free web traffic system or if it’s in your budget paid advertising such as Google’s Pay Per Click campaigns.
So first make sure to know who your audience is, what you want them to do on your site, and understand that targeted traffic is the only type of traffic that really matters then apply free and paid traffic generating techniques.
