Do you need a constant flow of traffic to your website? You can’t be faulted for wanting to promote your products and services online. Moreover, if you did nothing to increase the traffic to your website, that annual fee that you pay for it would go wasted and your website would fail dismally.
There are some companies that offer these services to website owners but at a price that is usually not reasonable. They may also offer the service as part of a package deal that you need to purchase as well.
An even more costly option is downloadable website traffic. As an alternative to any of these methods there are resources listed below that you can use that are virtually free, the only thing needed is time and effort to implement them.
Use a signature in your email that includes a link to your website along with any pertinent information such as products and services offered and contact information. This information may be longer than your email but it will serve as a type of personal ad that you can send out whenever you email someone.
A forum is designed for particular target audiences who have particular preferences. The first thing you will want to do is find out which target audience you want to reach in which forum, then sign up for them. Remember however, to use your Internet etiquette when posting.
Remember that the link you post on the forum should be appropriate to the topic of the forum and not out of place. It is similar to moving into a new neighborhood where you are the new kid on the block. Always remember this and it will not destroy your chances of success in using this method to get free traffic.
Make comments on blogs. Here again the same rules apply as to forum posting only now you can actually make comments instead of just post basic information. A blog is a writer’s personal space that they are sharing with you and it would be out of place to use it for your own personal display to promote your products. If you use tact and comment sincerely, you can then use a signature that includes a link to your website.
Always be respectful of others when using these free methods of traffic generation. Because they are free you want to make sure that you do not cross the line ethically speaking.
