Here’s a good question:




I’ve just created a blog and I’m looking for the quickest ways to drive traffic to my blog. I am not only looking for Free ways to market my website, but ways that really work in sending traffic please…not much money starting out!




Here is my answer to the question:




1. Write and submit articles.  Although this can be tedious and time-consuming, it’s the old tried and true method of getting free traffic and quality back links to your site.  However, you won’t get your articles posted in a timely fashion on some article directories like Ezinearticles.




Ezinearticles take at least a week to review your article before adding it to their database. Sometimes they reject your article and ask you to redo it. Then that takes at least another 7 days for a second review.




So instead of just waiting for your article to be approved by Ezinearticles, go ahead and submit a copy of that article on high profile websites related to your site’s niche.




For instance, a site like about.com, mashable, sitepronews, etc, are high profile websites and getting a link back to your site from sites like these can help you generate lots of traffic. Just make sure your article is outstanding with an attention-grabbing headline.




Many of these high profile websites have pages on their sites where you can submit articles.  Sometimes you might see a tab that says, “Write for us,” on these sites.   On some sites you might have to browse around a bit to find the page where you can submit articles.




Write quality, unique articles, and not articles that lack substance…articles providing no benefit or very little benefit for readers.  This can ruin your reputation and instead of increasing your traffic, it can put a dent in it.




2. Make your articles talk by converting them into videos. Google loves Youtube. I think they also have a love/hate relationship.




However, if you want some serious link juice with highly targeted traffic beating down your blog door, make sure you fall in love with videos. Video marketing is HOT. Combine videos and articles together, and you’ve got winners.




3. Submit ads to a high pagerank and high traffic Classified ad site such as USFreeads and Craigslist.  Goggle loves USFreeads also.  Get Free Classifieds from USfreeads!




4. Review websites in your niche on Alexa to try to take some of their traffic by including a reference back to your site.




5. Comment on other related blogs. Make sure the blog is a “Do Follow,” blog. Also you get more link juice by commenting on high Page Rank sites. Please do not spam.




6. Product testimonials.  If you purchase a product that you actually like, then leave a testimonial. Leave your url in your testimonial and you should receive some traffic.




7. Email Signature.  Whenever you send an email to someone, include your website url as a signature.  Here’s an example:

8. Keep updating content on your blog. Make sure you provide great value for your readers. Try posting at least three times per week. The more you post, the better. As your blog grows, I suggest posting everyday. This will definitely increase your traffic and keep your visitors coming back for more.




9. Tag blog posts at social bookmarking sites. Grab the Onlywire plugin. I also use the Auto Social Poster along with Only Wire.  Onlywire is a free plugin, but Auto Social Poster is not. Using both gives me more link juice.  I make sure that both are not bookmarking at the same sites.




You don’t want to post the same article or blog post on the same bookmarking site twice.  So every time I create a new post, Onlywire and Auto Social Poster bookmarks my post to over 40 social bookmarking sites. Social bookmarking works really well for me and generates about 50% of my traffic.




10. Ping.  Make sure you ping your blog after updates. You can use http://www.pingomatic.com.

Directories will always be around, the future for directories will change as the internet changes, they will need to adapt and additional services. The third important factor in directory submission is making sure you use the correct title, keywords, and descriptions in the right category. Once your site is included in a directory the listing is permanent and you will receive traffic everyday.




Despite customer resistance, eventually the message will get through that submission is not necessary. Search engines use directories to check the value of websites, remember directories are human edited and these directories add check for the search engines, one of the most popular directories that most search engines check with is dmoz. Submitting to directories is overlooked because it is so time consuming and it has to be done manually to be done right, but it is a great search engine optimization strategy.




Each listing carries a brief summary of the content contained within. Links in directories are free, paid, or free but need a reciprocal link. A directory is a compilation of links that are organized in a way to make it easy to search on. Sometimes, you search for something in the directory and you don’t find it, not because it is not there but because the directory search script just doesn’t cut it.




If you decide to pay for a directory listing make sure the directory has a good page rank and has a proven traffic record, this way you know that the money you spent is well worth it. Many directories offer free directory submissions. Paid and free are the most common form of directory model. A one way links or a link exchange is considered a free link. Search engines like to see a site updated regularly, and maintaining the directory will assure that all the links are still functional and that all the URLs still exist.




Many sites are rejected due to inappropriate descriptions. The description is the most difficult item to define correctly. One way to get help for an accurate description is to ask friends to view your website or ask people from forums to view your site. A description is not an advertisement and should never contain superlatives or excessive marketing hype. When writing your description you are not writing it to sell your product you need to write it showing the benefit of your product, no hard sell in the description.




When using directory submissions you will see an increase in links and traffic to your site. These are great methods of driving traffic to your site. The main thing you want for your website is targeted traffic and traffic that converts into sales.




When using a directory submission service make sure you find a service that will continually add your sites links to directories even after the initial submission. By paying one price for the initial submission and never having to pay again for additional submissions to directories is what you want.




The reasons for this are simple, submitting to directories is long monotonous process, it is easier to pay a flat rate and have someone else do it for you. When choosing the service make sure you can enter more than one title, description, categories and keywords. The reason for this is that you want to rotate the title and description among the directories. Make sure you receive a submission report and snapshots of the submissions. If you don’t receive emails from the directory owners this is a good indication that your site is not really being submitted.




Manual Directory Submission is one of the best ways to promote your website and achieving good visibility in search engines.

Many blogs like this blog offer “DoFollow” on comments. What this means is that you receive benefit from leaving a comment with a link back to your site in your name.

What really makes this special is that it will benefit your Search Engine Ranking Position (SERP). I don’t have a problem with this as long as the comments are genuine and it’s pretty much a way for me to say, “Thank you,” for visiting my blog.

On the other hand, when you place a sufficient number of comments on “NoFollow,” blogs in order to gain back links to your website or blog, you are pretty much wasting your time.

These links are ignored by the search engines. So make sure you post on “DoFollow,” blogs. However, don’t spam any blog whatsoever. Read the posts and be genuine in whatever you say in the comment box.

Now, posting comments on blogs just for gaining back links to your blog or website is so damn time-consuming that blog owners don’t want to do it. Some people actually or use software… what I consider, spam bots. Please don’t do this.

Now that’s not all. Here’s the ugly secret. To save the trouble of making hundreds of comments on various “DoFollow” blogs, and avoid getting caught in spam filters, there are companies that will make relevant comments on blog posts using your chosen anchor text.

They charge anywhere from $19 for 100 comments and even up to $199 for 1000 comments left on your behalf. Would I consider this BS? Maybe, maybe not. However, it’s not something I would do.

You know what, this can really become a problem for blog owners like me, because it makes the job of spotting spammy comments almost impossible. I do have the awful task of weeding through comments trying to decide whose comments are spam or not.

So let’s take this into consideration, would you consider this spam… comments that were not actually written by the stated author, but was paid for? Does the fact that the comments were paid for make it legitimate? What do you think?

Here’s an awesome traffic trick from Kim Roach:

TGIF!

I hope you’re just as excited as I am that
the weekend is finally here!

But before you put your party hat on, I want
to share a cool traffic trick that I just
discovered.

This one is super simple and can bring you hundreds of
extra visitors.

Here’s how it works…

First, you need to go to Google and type in the following
search queries:

“Daily Link Roundup”
“Weekly Link Roundup”
“Monday Link Roundup”
“Friday Link Roundup”
“Link Roundup”

If you want to find blogs that are specifically related to your
market, then you can add a modifier. Something like:

“Weekly Link Roundup” + parenting
“Weekly Link Roundup” + marketing
“Weekly Link Roundup” + moms

Simply attach your main keyword to the search query.

This will give you a list of blogs that do weekly link roundups.
Link roundups are basically where bloggers post their favorite links
and articles each week in what’s called a Link Roundup.

Best of all, there are thousands of blogs that do this on every
imaginable topic.

Now here’s where you come in…

Once you’ve found a related blog that does link roundups you can then
contact the blog owner and send them a link to your very best
content from your own blog.

If you’ve published truly great content, then there’s a very
good chance that they will link to you in their weekly link
roundup.

This gives you a high-quality backlink and sends you some laser
targeted traffic.

This is an extremely powerful technique that I see VERY few
people using online.

But it’s super simple and can send you lots of highly-targeted
traffic.
