Hi, I’m Tony, the admin of this website. I reside in Woodbridge, New Jersey in the USA and my background is in professional sales with a big chunk (32 years) devoted to real estate sales, as a sales associate and broker, mortgage broker and mortgage lending representative. Please see my profile page for more background information.

Our main goal on this website is to bring you information relative to two fundamental requirements to Web marketing success. The first is Sales, without which a marketing business (online or offline) may as well close its doors. The second is Web Traffic, without which a Web business will not make too many sales and will thus, be forced to close down operations anyway.

We will make our best efforts to bring you information in a manner that is easy to read and understand, but with emphasis on topics of importance to anyone considering Web marketing as a career or even an additional income source. The other section of Web Marketing Tips (WMT) features several pages of content pertaining to different methods of marketing on the web, from Article Writing to Copywriting and SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

Generate Free Targeted Traffic To Your Website

In this article we will take a look at one of the Best Ways to generate free targeted traffic to your website. If you have a website or you promote another person’s website as an affiliate, you need to drive traffic to it. Without traffic you won’t get visitors. And without visitors you won’t make money, sales, get subscribers, or reap many of the benefits enjoyed by traffic-active websites.

What good is a website without any traffic? And if the site is getting traffic, what good is it if it’s not targeted traffic? There are many ways to drive traffic to your site, both free and paid. But we are not going to talk about paid traffic at this time. That is a totally different topic and could take hours to cover and is enough for another complete article.

So, back to free traffic. Some ways of getting free traffic to your site is to utilize Search Engine Optimization, by surfing traffic exchanges (TEs), and/or getting passive traffic. SEO takes time and a lot of work. When you join TE sites and surf for traffic, you have to look at other members’ sites in order to earn advertising credits for your own site(s) to be displayed when another member is surfing.

One problem with TE traffic that can be pointed to immediately is that although the traffic is free, it is not targeted. Reason being that everyone who is a member of the particular TE only surf for the credits and very rarely even looks at the sites. Some members just minimize the window on their PC and multi-task. So some of the traffic is really crappy and therefore of no worthwhile use to you except testing your tracking system, if that.

This brings us to what is believed to be among the best ways to get free targeted traffic. It is a method commonly referred to as free classified ads submission which is to submit your Website ad(s) to the various classified (ads) sites on the Web. You can publish your ads through a number of means. One is by manually submitting your ads. Another is by using some free submission program. Still another is downloading some demo submission software.

You can acess the free ads submission sites or demo programs by doing a Google search. Or you can begin by taking a look at some of the sites listed below. Whichever you choose, it will require some work on your part. However, before we go anyfurther, you should know that there is a difficult part to this.

One of the most daunting tasks of a Web-based entrepreneur like you, whether you are experienced or a newbie, is to find high traffic classified ad sites to post your ads. You can acess the free ads submission sites or demo programs by doing a Google search. Or you can begin by taking a look at the list at the end of this article. Whichever you choose, it requires some work on your part.

The purpose is always – and has always been – to increase traffic to your website simply because, as you know, more site visitors means more revenue; But your problem is made more difficult by the mushrooming of free classified ad sites on the Web. Which sites among the hundreds, or more likely thousands, which submit your ads and links? Let’s see if we can pinpoint the best places on the web to which submit you can submit ads and URLs. Please not to be very careful about buying ad submission services and programs.

As for the scam submission services and fake submission software, there is a warning in Latin you should be aware of, “Caveat Emptor,” or let the buyer beware. You have to do your own due diligence to outsmart the sellers of these lemon submission services and unworkable submission programs.

Some of these ineffective submission services and software are aggressively being promoted on the web. You should therefore be wary of how you deal with these services and programs, if ever. For example, sometime late last year one of these inferior submission programs was advertised on the website of a leading web marketer. So many words were said about the product, and yet so negligible were the results, so be careful.

For the honest-to-goodness ad submission sites, your problem is how to locate them. The web sites that are getting higher traffic are generally preferred, but which sites to submit to, among the thousands out there is the most important part of your work to generate free targeted traffic utilizing this method. It can be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

With due diligence and research, however, you can locate these better classified ad sites which are the noteworthy sites to submit your classified ads and URLs to for free. If you cannot do a research of your own, you can find other people who have done some research on the subject and who can give you tips on where to submit your ads.

As was mentioned earlier, I have done some research of my own and have listed Some of the sites I have discovered below; But by no means is this list complete. It is merely a starting off point for you to use towards your own free traffic goals and objectives. The key word here is “FREE”, and as such the competition will be fierce; But you already know that don’t you? Here’s the list:

The Many Ways To Drive Traffic To Your website

When it comes to traffic two things are absolutely true. Traffic is what keeps your website active, and that means you stand a good chance of making a sale. So without traffic to your website you can’t expect to make any sales. Second, there are many ways to drive traffic to your website or product page, from article marketing to SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and several others that we don’t even know about yet. The point is this. If you’re willing to spend the money, OR spend the time and put in the work you can drive traffic to your site.

Let’s take a brief look at some of the traffic options available to you and other webmasters/website owners doing business on the Web.

Article Marketing

Write articles about your own website topic and submit them to directories and article submission services like eZines and others. The way you get traffic is by placing a link in the resource or authors bio box which points back to your website, and when your article is read by visitors to the eZine or directory and like what you write, they will often visit your site to learn more. Additionally, other webmasters and website owners looking for content for their own sites will visit yours.

Affiliate Marketing Programs

If you own a product or provide a service, there are a number of ways you can promote, market and sell that product/service. Instead of doing all the marketing and promotion yourself, you can creat an affiliate program via one of the affiliate networks like ClickBank, JVZoo, Commission Junction or LinkShare (they’re others) and allow others to promote and sell your product per the terms you set, including price. If your product is accessed from your website, traffic from affiliates activity will be sent there, otherwise it will be sent to your product page.

Classified Ads

Similar to your local newspapers that offer classified ads to anyone wanting to attract prospective buyers to their store or products, there are online portals like AdlandPro that specializes in classified advertising which you can buy at reasonable rates to send buyers to your website or product page.

Direct Traffic

Almost self-explanetary, this type of traffic comes directly to your website with not much effort on your part, except what you may have already done to advertisie your site. Direct traffic comes as a result of natural occurrences such as a Web user typing your website name or one of your keywords/terms into a browser address bar. Word of mouth whereby your site name is overheard in conversation or by recommendation is another example of direct traffic.

eBook & Free Giveaway

Most Free Giveaways ARE ebooks and other digital products; But this kind of traffic, while popular and on hand is usually in search of something free (after all, it is what is advertised) so you shouldn’t expect to sell anything the first time around. Rather you should be prepared for this type of traffic by using a squeeze page with which you can secure a name and email address for later contact and probable sale down the road.

Forum Traffic

To participate in a forum, you’ll need to join one and be a member that intends to contribute useful information to the given topic of conversation. This means that you should have some knowledge of the topic being discussed. For example if your expertise is in real estate and you join a culinary forum, you’re not going to get too far because you’ll be spotted right away as a fraud and asked to leave. However, if you do the forum correctly you’re allowed to attched a signature (including your website link) and the end of your comments and posts thereby inviting forum traffic to your website.

Referral traffic

Though similar to direct traffic, referral traffic can actually be the result of payments you make to other marketers for sending traffic to your website. While direct traffic can be strictly accidental, referral traffic is usually paid for, although the cost to you will usually not be the same as a commission for the sale of a product or service. So referral traffic is usually not accidental in the same way as direct traffic.

Search Engine Traffic

Once you create a website you can rest assure that the search engines will find it. The caveat is, your website may not be found by search engines within the first week or two, or even the first month or two. It takes time for the search engines to find your new site, so make sure to have other sources of traffic on which to rely AND a properly optimized site while you’re awaiting traffic from the search engines.

Search Engine optimization

You’ve probably heard a lot about Search Engine Optimization or SEO; But just what is search engine optimization and do you get traffic from it? The short answer is yes! SEO is the manner in which you prepare your website so that it is listed at a high position (ranking) in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages). And when your website has a high ranking on the SERPs, you get massive traffic. In a nutshell, You need search engine optimization to be number one in the SERPs, or at least make your site traffic-friendly.

Search Engine Submission

You can submit your website to a large number of search engines manually or you can automate the submission. There are thousands of search engines on the web, although the most popular are Google, Bing and Yahoo. While search engine traffic is dependent solely on the search engines finding your website, search engine submission can be utilized to speed up the process. That is the distinction between the two types of traffic from search engines.

Social Bookmarketing

My own interpretation is, social bookmarking is of a public list of your favorites. Not all your favorites, just the favorites you want to share with others. You can add any website to your public list and retrieve it from any computer. When you list a site in your bookmark list, anyone looking for that same type of information can do a search at the bookmark site and find the sites that you have bookmarked which in turn directs the visitor back to your website and becomes part of the traffic you will get.

Social Networking

Can you imagine it? Just having a little fun chatting with your friends and contacts on facebook or tweeting your thoughts or snippets of news to your tweet follower and creating traffic back to your website all at the same time? Well it happens every day! Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In, Plurk, Google+ and so many other social networking portals provide the platform and resources for you to network with your friends and contacts with comments, posts and tweets while promoting your website link(s).

Pay-per-Click

The most popular PPC site was, at one time, Google AdWords; and although it is still a force to be reconed with there are other services that have become very competitive in the PPC arena. Overture comes to mind, but there’s also Bing, Yahoo and many more. PPC traffic is generated when you agree with one of the services mentioned to place a 3-line ad describing your product or website and pay a fee or cost each time that ad is clicked by a prospective visitor. It can be that simple or much more complicated and expensive if you let it get out of hand.

Traffic Exchanges – TEs

There are manual traffic exchanges as well as automated traffic exchanges. In both types of TEs a member agrees to “surf” (view actually) a number of sites in exchange for his/her sites being surfed or viewed by the other members. When a member views other members sites, s/he receives credits which can be used to pay for increased visibility of his/her own site. The system is controlled by the TE site owner.

Just to be clear, most people who use traffic exchanges – manual and auto – are not looking to join your program or buy your product, they are looking for the same thing you are. How to get more traffic to their website or product page.

In Conclusion

I’m convinced there will be new methods of attracting visitors and driving traffic to websites for as long as the web is operable, in addition to the existing methods I was unable to mention here; But it is clear that no one person or company is going to attempt to utilize ALL the methods available at any one time. Many webmasters concentrate on two or three specific ways of driving traffic and improve their knowledge and skill in those areas to become the best that they can be at Web traffic generation to support their businesses.
