Free and easy ways to generate traffic to your website or blog

Traffic is undoubtedly the most difficult aspect for new Internet marketers around the world. Today, it takes some creativity to stand out from the crowd. About 90% of new internet marketers give up within 6 months of their internet marketing venture due to abysmal site traffic.

There is no magic formula to increase traffic to your site. With that said, marketers have developed many tried and true methods to promote their products, books, beliefs, opinions, or services. And while the idea of ​​reinventing the wheel may be appealing to some, most just need to follow the lead of those who have already cut the path to rally a growing audience.

Below are the techniques that have been proven effective..

Any site or blog NEEDS to be submitted to every search engine you can think of. There are services that will do it for you. Some are free, others are paid services. Keep in mind that some of the paid URL submission sites can cost anywhere from a couple of dollars to several hundred dollars. Everyone’s budget is different, so only you can weigh the cost of the benefits on this. If free sounds like a good price, then your first stop is definitely Google adding URLs. Just google “Submit Google URL” to see the link.

There are literally countless free URL submission sites. A simple Google search for “submit URL” will suffice.

You can also consider Dmoz (open project directory). Dmoz is a process, but we want our URL to be everywhere, which makes it a wise investment of time.

Get your website or blog pinged every time you add content or make an announcement. Search engine “bots” will start indexing your site if you make sure to ping regularly.

There are many others, so feel free to search for them. Again Google “ping my blog”

1. Submit your blogs to blog directories. Like URL submission sites, there are hundreds of blog directory submission sites.

two. Articles Articles Articles. The gift that keeps giving. Write a simple and concise article about your site, service, or other product that you want to promote. Highly recommended is freearticlesubmission.org. Just sign up for free. They won’t actually submit articles for you, but instead provide you with a massive list of article hosting sites (currently 1077) you can submit to and a nifty way to track where you posted.

3. Register in forums and get involved there effectively, plus don’t forget to post your link in forums that relate to your articles on your website. Forums are increasingly becoming a major player in the way traffic is generated. So spend a little time there.

Four. Blog commenting When you visit a website, a blog related to yours always leaves comments that direct people to your site, the reason is that search engines, especially Google, rank a website that is linked to other websites, which it means that the website must have valuable content.

5. Video promotion. Have a video promoting your site or product? So, by all means, spread the word. Submitting a video to so many video hosting sites almost always results in a marked increase in visits to a website or blog. Make sure to include your URL in all video clip descriptions or in the video itself. TubeMogul.com is a great video bulk submission tool that delivers great results. You will need to set up accounts on all the sites you send to before sending a video in bulk.

As you can see, there are many ways to promote a website, these are just a few. Also understand that your site, on its own, will, to some extent, spread over time. Remember that you are building a business. Be patient but work smart and use your time effectively.
