 How
to Generate Free Website Traffic FAST

It goes without saying that if you don't have website traffic, the other
components of your web business can't work very effectively. Without eyeballs
on your sales letter, you won't make any sales!
There are many ways to generate fast free website traffic, but many of them
aren't readily available to the average, lesser-known marketer.
Joint ventures are an excellent way to get tons of others to send you their
traffic. However, joint ventures hinge upon relationships/connections, and
many of the people with the most traffic have tons of their own products
to promote. Those who own large lists are also approached about joint ventures
so often that they may have commitments that extend out past six months.
If you do have a large list, getting immediate traffic to your website can
be as simple as sending a compelling email. However, it takes time to build
a quality list. It also takes time to build strong relationships and trust
with your list members.
Another one of my favorite ways to generate lots of free traffic is by creating
an inexpensive product and then allowing others to sell it and keep 100%
of the profit. However, that does require a product on a really hot topic,
and you still have to recruit affiliates.
You are also giving away 100% of the money on the sale (sacrificing early
profits), and your goal there is not so much traffic but to build a list.
I do often do this, using a script called Rapid Action Profits, which deposits
proceed from the sale directly into my affiliates Paypal accounts while adding
the new subscriber to my list automatically.
However, for generating traffic that is free, fast, and even long-term, I
recommend creating lots of content and putting it in the path of the search
engines. In fact, I often do this when I'm launching a new product, or even
promoting a new affiliate product. Here are the down and dirty steps that
I take:
1) Do your keyword research, striving to identify the "buying keywords" that
your target customers are using. One easy way to do that is to use the "Google
External Keyword Tool" to research which keywords get the most searches.
This tool is free to use, and will also suggest related keywords to you.
What you are looking for is evidence that people are searching on a given
phrase, and that those people are spending money. The Google External Keyword
Tool will tell you this.
You can also enter a keyword phrase that you plan to target into the regular
Google search box, and look at how many Google AdWords ads display on the
right side of the page. These are people paying for each click from people
who search on that term, and then click through to their sites. Presumably,
they wouldn't pay for those clicks unless these customers were spending
money.
2) Use your target keywords to craft titles for 20 articles. In addition
to the keywords make sure that your title also promises some benefit. The
article title is what's going to get you the most traction in the search
engines.
3) Actually write those 20 articles. They can be as short as 400 words. If
you have trouble writing, go to several of the bigger article directories
and read what others have written on the topic. Also Google the keyword and
look at what experts have had to say on the topic. Then write the articles.
If you are still stumped, simply
plug your mike into your computer and then talk about the topic. Most of
us are certainly good at talking. Record your thoughts then go back and organize
them and you have an article (or several articles).
Add a resource box to the article that tells the reader to go to your site
for more information, or resources (your product) on the topic. When linking
back to your site, use your keyword as the anchor text where permitted.
4) Turn each article into a video. The simplest way to do this is probably
to put your main points on PowerPoint slides. Then as you read your article,
flip through the slides, and record it using Camtasia screen capture software.
As easy as that, you have a movie.
5) Turn each article into a podcast (an MP3). Just read the article and record
it using software built right into your computer. You can also download free
recording software for tons of places on the internet. One of my favorites
is Audacity.
6) Write several press releases using the article titles as your topic. Here
you need to get a little creative, but as an example, for this article I
would use, "Website Traffic Expert Reveals How To Generate Free website Traffic
Fast."
These press releases are being written for SEO purposes, so the exact wording
is not so critical. You are going to share several points in the press release
and then you are going to link to one or two websites that you want to call
attention to. Your links will use your keywords as the anchor text.
7) Submit these articles, videos, podcasts, and press releases to article
directories, video sharing sites, podcast aggregators, and free press release
sites. Since I do this for numerous products and projects, I use an automated
submission site. Being a very prolific writer, I have weeks when I may do
20-40 articles (while still running my web business).
8) "Rinse and repeat!" What happens over time is that you'll soon have so
much content in cyberspace that you'll achieve critical mass. At that point
you'll rank for your most important keywords as well as lots of longtail
keywords. At that point, you'll be amazed at the traffic.
To speed up the process, you can also post your articles to an optimized
WordPress blog that's been configured to "ping" RSS aggregators, social
networking sites, and bookmarking sites each time that you post. If you don't
know how to do that, it's beyond the scope of this article, but most webmasters
familiar with WordPress can set that up quickly for you. WordPress is very
simple, yet very powerful.
There you have it, "How to generate free website traffic fast!" Yes, there
is work involved, but when you see the results, you'll know that it was well
worth it.
