Free Traffic - A Key to a Successful Web Site

Free traffic is one of the most important keys to producing income with a web site. Free traffic will actually normally convert better than paid traffic.This stands to reason as people who are deliberately searching for something are more motivated than people who happen to click because something they are interested in is thrown in front of them.Paid traffic may be faster but it can be very tricky when you are starting out. First of all it takes a lot of knowledge to make it work, and secondly a new web site may not be able to get a high enough quality score from Google or its competitors to make the pay per click cost affordable. New companies may also exhaust their typically small start-up budgets before they find an ad with copy that will convert at a decent rate. There are two main ways to attract free traffic. First, become a member of a number of high traffic forums in your niche. You can find these by typing 'forum:whatever your niche is' into the search box at Google.com. Make interesting posts often, so people want to learn more about you. Put a link to your web site in your signature. The signature is at the bottom of people's posts. Check to make sure there are links in the signatures of the other posters. If you don't see links in other people's signatures then you may be on a forum that does not allow this and you will have to find a different one.Be sure to use good anchor text in your link. The anchor text is the text that a viewer to your page can actually see. The best text to put here is normally a keyword that you want your site to be listed for in the search engines. You should vary the exact wording of the keyword in different forums. If you start to get a lot of visitors from the links, you will want to let Google know that your site has active traffic, so sign up for Google Analytics so they can see what is happening. This will help you with your... Second source of free traffic- organic search results. The fact that you have back links from high volume pages and that they can see you have traffic will make you more important in the eyes of Google (and the other search engines), so they will move you up in the rankings. Make sure that you go after keywords that have a reasonable amount of traffic but do not have a huge amount of competition. Most importantly make sure that your posts in the forums project you as helpful and knowledgeable. Whatever you do don't settle for making quick generic comments that won't encourage people to visit your site, or worse automated posts made by a robot program. These will only serve to tic people off and probably get you kicked off a forum that could have been very helpful in building your reputation and getting traffic to your site.
