How to Get Free Website Traffic

 

Use Google Keyword Tool to Increase Your Free Traffic
You want to bring more traffic to your site and you want to do it with no associated costs. Great news!
There are several tools you can put to work for you and one of those is the Google Keyword Tool. If you
are not familiar with this tool, now is a good time to do so.

The Google Keyword tool can help you find long tail keywords that aren’t as competitive and then help
you to build content around these words. The most competitive keywords are a real fight to place with
and yet most searchers will use alternative keyword searches and those are what you can target with
Google Keyword Tools. Not only will you have an increase in traffic you’ll have traffic that you would not
normally get but that is certainly a fit for your niche.

The Google Keyword Tool Box site is one way to utilize a number of tools that can be of benefit to you
and your site. This site contains a number of tools such as Webmaster Central Tool Set, Website
Analytics, AdSense Webmaster Income, Free Webmaster Blog, and more. When you take advantage of
these tools you can really make the most out of your keywords.

If your niche is especially competitive, this is a great way for you to start to build up small recurring
traffic so that you can engage the users.

If you want to increase your traffic, you need to be able to bring new visitors to your site. If you continue
to use only the keywords or keyword phrases that you always use, then you will only see a slower
smaller growth of your traffic. However, if you choose to look at other related keyboards and expand on your keywords or keyword phrases then you have the opportunity to see your free traffic consistently grow and expand.

aren’t alone. That’s what most of us are trying to do. The key is to increase your traffic ethically, and you
can do this with ethical link building.

Link building is very important for your site. This is the process where you create links that point to your
page from someone else’s page. This happens naturally as quality content is created, but there are also
things you can do to build links.

You should also directly contact other sites that are related to your niche. If you can get these
companies to link to your website through a blog post or how to article it will significantly increase your
free traffic to your site.

Finally, take the time to create an RSS feed, which will allow your articles to easily link to a number of
different places. Submit the RSS feed to numerous related directories and give your traffic a direct
boost.

Increase Your Free Traffic Using SEO

If you want to increase free traffic to your website, you need to take advantage of SEO – it’s no game,
SEO is serious stuff when it comes to doing it right and ensuring you enjoy the benefits of increased
traffic flow.

You need to create content that your readers want to read – content that has value. In that content you
need to make sure that it is search engine optimized. We don’t mean stuffing keywords, but making sure
your keywords are used in a natural flow at a rate of about 2% in your content.

Any links you place in your content should be from trusted sites. Even as a new website, there are
natural links you can still obtain that are legitimate and recognized by Google and other search engines
as acceptable. Don’t make the mistake of choosing links that are questionable just so that you have links
in your content. You are better off to not have links than you are to have poor links.

When you add images make sure that you fill in the image attributes. Pictures do more than dress up
the page. The details like caption, title, description and alternate text are important to the search
engine. Don’t keyword cram but to make sure your keyword(s) are included in your image attributes.

Remember some people will search using Google image search rather than text search and if your
image(s) are highly visible you are likely to bring more traffic to your site through this resource.

Diversify your internal anchor links is also important. These are the links on your page that the search
engines will find when they crawl your site. Finally, make sure your pages have at least 250 words, use
fonts that are easy to read and headlines to help divide your page and make it easier to read.
Google will deem good content search worthy and proper use of SEO will help you to place higher in the
search engines. Good content with good SEO equals increased traffic to your site.

 

Use Social Media to Increase Your Free Traffic

Social media is often overlooked as a method to create an increase in your free traffic. Yet it is
significant and can ensure that you have a presence that is solid and that your site is viewed by many.
When you post content that is compelling it won’t take long to build a loyal following and that following
is going to share with others and they will share with others and so on it goes and soon you’ll see a
significant increase in your site traffic and it will not have cost you anything. There are a number of ways
you can achieve this.

#1 Create a Facebook page to promote your website. This is a great way to share informative posts and
send your visitors to your site for more related content. Post regularly and always make sure your posts
have value and are not just advertising for your site.

#2 Twitter is a great way to let followers know that you have added new content or articles to your site.
It’s also a great way to build new followers who in turn will take the time to visit your site if you have something of interest/value to offer. Make sure you link your Twitter feed to your website and your
Facebook feed to your Twitter account.
#3 Tumblr is a social networking site that is often overlooked and yet it is a great tool for bringing free
traffic to your site. It is a blogging service that lets you link easily to the content on your site. It is also
different in format than most blogging sites in that the sharing of content is done easily and provides a
great way to grow your followers.

#4 Pinterest is image based social networking. It began as a place to exchange recipes and crafts, but has
grown into a site with numerous categories and it is one of the fastest growing social networking sites
on the internet.

#5 Google+ is another social networking site that lets you easily post links to your site and publish
content. It has the potential to reach a very large audience, which in turn allows for fast and free growth
of traffic to your site.

Build a Community to Increase Your Free Traffic

You have a website that does okay, but you want to increase the traffic to your site and you want it to
be free traffic. Now you are wondering what you can do to achieve your goal? There are many different
things you can do. One of them is to build a community.

Increasing your Google traffic is about answering questions that are found to be important in your
community. You must take the time to become the authority and have the necessary expertise in your
niche.

Have the community ask you questions. By doing so, you will be on your way to providing useful,
valuable, high quality content. That’s what Google really cares about. When you provide answers to
questions asked by your community, Google will rank your website very well for the keyword terms you
would not have come up with on your own, but these keywords do show up in your answers to
questions.

You create loyalty among your community members and you rank well with Google at the same time.
You could say that is a win-win! Now you have members in your community that are going to share and
tell others about it, which will increase your traffic flow. That will multiply and continue to grow as more
visitors show up and like what you have to offer.

In addition, Google will rank you well so you will place better in the search engines. Doing so means that
more surfers will find you and come visit your page for an additional way of increasing the traffic to your
site. These people when happy will again invite others.

So when looking for proven ways to increase your traffic flow make sure that you do not overlook the
power of community – build a strong niche community and they will come.

How To Go Viral In The Marketing World

Posted on by Alden Porter III

You’ve just seen the most often utilized viral techniques by most marketers in producing a successful and viral web campaign. All you have to do is be creative and think out of the box. In doing so, you are able to think of so many additional ways to get your viral message going and going.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • The Buzz About The Buzz
    Producers of products and services are slowly starting to recognize that what Consumer reports say about their products and services isn’t nearly as crucial as what consumers say to each other about them. Therefore, we have the ballooning of viral marketing…..word-of-mouth…or buzz. And… We’ll take 2 case studies as concrete proof. MSN Hotmail’s viral marketing success tale is practically in the domain of folk lore. Back in 95, when Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith approached the venture capital firm of Draper Fisher & Jervetson with their thought for a free e-mail service, the firm liked the theme but wondered how they’d draw in members and build a company around it. Nowadays there are more than thirty million participating members.

 

  • One Way To Do It
    They made it simple to spread the word by utilizing the standard e-mail that will ask your friends to join, but the software may likewise be instructed to scan your address book and send all your acquaintances invitation letters. Their thought was to construct a tool that includes an inherent mechanism for circulating the work and then simply letting it grow! Now, to the meat and potatoes – You might not produce a program like Hotmail or ICQ but your products may go viral, bringing in tons of subscribers and revenue.

 

  • Utilizing Your Emails
    Everybody wishes his or her marketing message to be viral, or have a viral facet and make the best of viral marketing. Why not? It’s free of charge and effective. The issue is that most individuals don’t comprehend what it is that makes their marketing e-mail message worthy of being passed along. The idea of building an ad in email become viral is really pretty simple. You place something in there that individuals will wish to share with their loved ones and acquaintances, something they’ll wish to spread around.

 

  • Practical Ways to Go Viral
    When you’re seeking excellent content for your niche site, you’re commonly seeking articles that are well-written and bear timely info.
    The 1st option, as brought up earlier, is the article directories. The articles are free of charge but you’re required to link your website to the author’s website. So ‘free of charge’ isn’t precisely free of charge.

    The 2nd option: You want articles ghostwritten for you and the way to get them is to go to article brokers. Google “Niche Article Brokers” and you’ll get a lot of hits.

 

  • Viral and Video
    Video presentations are among the most crucial tools you may develop for use in viral marketing. The reasons that a video may be so effective are many. They’re a visual tool. The vast majority of individuals are visual in the way they relate to the world around them. Even individuals who are primarily audibly oriented or kinesthetic (sound or touch) frequently have a strong secondary visual orientation. They’re accessible. By utilizing one or two of the common formats, you may rest assured that virtually anybody will be able to view the videos.

 

  • Movies
    It’s significant to note that a video that’s produced as part of a viral marketing campaign is a bit different from many of the videos that proliferate around the net. The chief purpose is to excite viewers enough that they decide they have to purchase your product or become an affiliate so they may begin making revenue with your product. There are a few matters you have to always bear in mind so your video won’t become a total mess.

WRAPPING UP

A few matters you need to bear in mind when producing a successful viral product:

 

Material:

The success of any viral marketing and web campaign is directly related to the material of the viral message by whatever vehicle it’s delivered, be it, e-mail, e-zines, sites, etc. Really great, creative, and inspired material may and does bring in buyers by the numbers. Illustrations include valuable discounts, relevant data, jokes, and multimedia goodies.

 

Satisfaction:

Viral and web marketing efforts may provide enormous advantages to e-commerce sites by bringing in fresh users but most fail to totally appreciate the promotional advantages of user satisfaction. Viral marketing is a two-way street. The news that your e-business didn’t provide as promised travels like a racing bullet and twice as fast as the speed of light.

 

Trust:

Trust is the all-important lubricant of Web business; without trust, business grates to a halt and establishing trust takes time and work on your part. It isn’t something that buyers give freely. You have to earn it and continue to earn it with each sale.

 

Well, I wish you the best for your viral and web campaigns, but in whatever medium you pick out, forever remember the above 3 factors.

members.

Lessons I Learned from Paris Hilton

Posted on by Alden Porter III

Today we’ll talk about shameless self-promotion. That’s right, I said it! Shameless! After all, we are learning from Paris Hilton here.

It’s all about self-promotion! Self-promotion comes in many forms and you can use different tactics to get your name out there. Look at politicians! Talk about self-promotion and in some not so discreet ways, at that. But, seriously, consider some of the major superstars we all know. Madonna, Donald Trump, Howard Stern and Bill Clinton, just to name a few.

We all self promote. Did you raise your hand in class to show the teacher you knew the answer? Of course! That’s self-promotion. This is the kind of self-promotion we are talking about. With dignity, class and the knowledge to back it up. If you self-promote only to prove you don’t really know what you’re talking about, you’re going to lose business.

Natural self-promoters are the former and I want to tell you about the three major traits they have and use to build themselves and their businesses.

  1. The first is position. You need to position yourself around people who can make a difference in your life. You need to do this frequently. You need to wake up every morning and ask yourself “Who can I meet today who will make a difference in my success?” In fact, go a step further, write it in big, bold letters and tape it on your bathroom mirror.

Also consider:

Who can help me meet my goals?

Is it a prospective customer/client? A colleague with contacts? An association with key members who may become prospects?

Don’t settle into interacting with the people who are the easiest to access. You need to reach outside your comfort zone and there you will find a wealth of new connections that will bring you great success.

  1. Now, let’s talk about Style. No, this doesn’t mean you need an Armani suit to bring in more business (though, let’s be honest-it wouldn’t hurt) ☺ What this really means is how are you different from your competitors and others in your industry. What makes you memorable with customers?

If you are meeting a lot of people and they don’t remember you once you leave the room, you have a serious problem! This means you have an opportunity to present yourself in a more memorable way.

There are lots of little subtle changes you can make. Reassess your:

  • Business cards
  • Company message
  • Your picture
  • Your wording

Maybe even, your hairstyle (of course, now we’re back to the expensive suit, but it really works!)

You get the idea. There are lots of little ways you can work on making your image and business more successful. Also, consider how you sound on the phone and how you great people at meetings or other events. Think about your 30-sec elevator speech.

  1. The third trait of natural promoters is repetition. You can’t say it once and leave it at that. Successful self-promoters say it as many times as they need until they get a response. Would you remember a commercial for Coca-Cola if you only saw it once, no! You see it over and over and eventually you head out to the store.

You, also, have to make multiple impressions on those you are networking with in order to build brand awareness. Repetition is in direct connection with positioning. Once you find people to network with, reach out and find hundreds more who can help in your success as well.
