Now that you have a website, you probably want to get as much traffic as possible to your site. As you probably know, there are many ways to get traffic to your site. Some are free, and some cost money. Obviously, you would like to take advantage of as many of the free ways as possible. Here is a list of some of the free ways you can get traffic to your site:
- Use a Signature. Every time you send out an email or post on a forum, right underneath your name you should have your website. This is because if people like what you have to say, they might check out your website. If you are posting really helpful posts, this can be especially good. This way, many people will get a chance to see your website. Also, by posting your website as your signature in a forum, you will get links back to your site which helps with search engine rankings.
- Get Links to your Site. Do a search on the web to find other websites that are similar, or complementary to your website. Email the webmaster, and see if they will put a link to your site. You can do the same with theirs. This way someone who is already interested in the topic may come to your site.
- Classified Ads. There are many online classifieds that will allow you to list your ad for free. This will allow others to see it and visit your site, as well as give you more links back to your website.
- Write Articles. When you write an article and post it on an article directory, you have a bio section at the bottom. If someone enjoys your article, they may want to see what other information you have to share, and might visit your website.
- Have good quality content on your website. When you have good content, the search engines will notice it. Then, when someone does a search in Google, Yahoo, or another search engine, your website will come up as a good result for your topic, and you will get even more traffic.
There are many ways you can get free traffic to your website. You just have to get your (website) name out there, and before you know it, you will be getting tons of traffic!
