Free And Low Cost Ways To Generate Traffic Online

As everyone knows. That has a business online. One of the things that we always strive for. Is finding ways to  generate traffic to our websites or blogs. Because high traffic usually results in sales.




There are many was to generate a steady stream of traffic to your site. Whether it's free, high cost, or low cost. Now I'm NO expert, however I'm willing to share what I do know, and what has worked for me. And hopefully if you take ACTION. It will work for you as well.    

 Now if your just starting out, on a budget, don't have the resources, or just don't believe in spending  a lot of money on advertising. There are many ways to generate low cost and free website traffic.Without having to spend what you don’t have or can’t afford. 

Now I do have to be honest. It will take you more time to generate traffic this way, however it is not less effective. To make this work all you need is the time,the proper mindset and a lot of eagerness to succeed. So here we go...





Traffic Exchange: They are free to use, however they do have an options to upgrade if you choose. It like exchanging links for credits that you earn.You can use the credits you earn, viewing other sites that marketers are advertising. This is done vice versa. You both benefit from each others efforts to generate traffic. If interested  visitors will click on your site to get even more information.Which will help boost  the awareness of your site(s). 




 Join Online Communities and Forums:This only requires your time and nothing else. You can share your knowledge and expertise with many online communities as well as your website. You can get free advertising when you go to forums that have the same subject or niche with your site.

Share your two cents and let them see how knowledgeable you are with the subject. As you build your reputation, you also build the reputation of your site. Remember people work with people.



Safelist: Safelist are free to join. And are similar to Traffic Exchanges. You receive credits there as well, and have the option to upgrade if you choose. However unlike Traffic Exchanges. Safelist is a list of members who all agree to receive promotional emails.

 You will earn credits every time you view another members emails.You can spend the credits on sending out emails to the other members of the safelist. My suggestion to you. If you stay as a free member .To choose a  Safelist that you can at least mail out to 1000 people (anything less then that is not worth it(Now that just my opinion). Also it's best to have an separate email address just for receiving emails for the Safelist. Because you will receive an enormous amount of emails   


 Banners Ads: A  banner ad is a form of advertising on the World Wide Web delivered by an ad server. This form of online advertising entails embedding an advertisement into a web page. It is intended to attract traffic to a website by linking to the website of the advertiser. Now there are  many Banners site you can use. That are very low cost. Some  have a monthly fee or a one time fee. I like banner site because it's a set and forget type of advertising. Also Traffic Exchanges offers banner ads for free. 


 Blogging: A blog is a great way to promote and get the word out informing others.That could pique the attention of people that have  an interest in your product or service. Having good content on  your site. Will also attract  the search engines. Which in turn. The search engine will  track down the keywords and keyword phrases your site uses and how they are used. You don't have to be a professional writer or a writer at all to have a blog.  Anyone can write a blog. "You don't have to be great to get started. But you have to get started to be great." 
Generally, internet users use search engines to find what they are looking for. Search engines in return use keyword searching in aiding their search results. With the right keywords, you could get high rankings in search engine results without the costs.
Now these are just a few free to low cost ways that I use. That have been very effective for me. All of these methods mentioned above will drive more traffic to your site for free. All it takes is a bit of effort and extended hours. If you haven't already. Take the time to learn all you can about the methods here, and in time you will soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the usual costs that come with it.



Thanks for taking time to read my blog.

To our success!
