There are many, many internet based marketing methods out there to utilize for traffic to your website, but not all are effective and not all are free. Here are 10 fantastic ways that have been shown to work time and time again and they're free...
Here are 10 solid, effective traffic boosting methods:
1. Videos - Set up your own Youtube video channel around your niche area and then record several short videos around your different keywords. Record yourself talking about your niche area, or approach an expert for an interview. You can even create a slideshow presentation if you don't like being on film yourself or if your speaking English is not strong. Make sure you optimise the description areas and title when you submit to Youtube and add your keywords and link to your site.
2. Articles - write articles around your niche keywords and submit to sites like this one. Google will often favor an EzineArticles Article over the same article from your website or blog, so use this to your benefit by 'piggybacking' from these trusted sites.
3. Forum Posts - check out the popular forums in your field and post helpful comments, along with your website address. You'll get people clicking your links if you give high quality info and post regularly.
4. Social Bookmarking - submit your website URL to sites such as Delicious, Stumble Upon and Digg for extra back links to your site
5 Blogs - either create your own around a niche topic, with separate pages for each keyword or post comments in other people's blogs in the same niche area. For maximum exposure, do both.
6. RSS Feeds - submit your blog, website, article and video submissions to RSS feed sites, such as Feedburner.
7. Social Networking - If done well, this method can explode your traffic virally by utilizing the web2.0 sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Myspace for internet based marketing purposes. Set up a Facebook fan page or group for your company or website, a Twitter profile and a Myspace, invite friends and clients to join.
8. Press Releases - These are under-used but highly effective. PRWeb and Ezine Articles very own press release submission section allow you to promote specific events and products where a lot of sites don't. You can get media attention with press releases.
9. Hub Pages - Great for making a name for yourself as an expert in your field.
10. Squidoo Lenses - Highly favoured by Google, creating Squidoo lenses for your long-tail keywords will likely get you high search engine rankings. Squidoo has recently changed its policy however, so be sure to check that your niche area and strategy is one which is compliant. For example, it will not accept lenses created about weight loss products and Forex tools anymore.
