Forum And Blog Links - Free Traffic Generating Methods

By Julia D. Weston


Do you need a constant flow of traffic to your website? You can't be faulted for wanting to promote your products and services online. Moreover, if you did nothing to increase the traffic to your website, that annual fee that you pay for it would go wasted and your website would fail dismally.

Although some companies provide this service for a fee, it is usually costly or comes with a package deal that one must purchase in order to obtain the services they need.

Downloadable website traffic is another option, but again the cost is a big factor. There are however other alternatives that are basically free, the only requirement is time and effort spend working with these methods.

Use an email signature line to promote your products and services. This can be a link to your website that you provide in the emails that you send out along with information about your products and services and contact information. Although sometimes they can be longer than your actual email, this can serve as a miniature advertisement attached to the email you are sending.

Another method you can try is posting in forums. You will need to find out which forums have the target audience that you are seeking since forums are geared toward particular people with particular interests. Always be sure to use proper decorum when posting to these sites.

Remember that the link you post on the forum should be appropriate to the topic of the forum and not out of place. It is similar to moving into a new neighborhood where you are the new kid on the block. Always remember this and it will not destroy your chances of success in using this method to get free traffic.

Make comments on blogs. Here again the same rules apply as to forum posting only now you can actually make comments instead of just post basic information. A blog is a writer's personal space that they are sharing with you and it would be out of place to use it for your own personal display to promote your products. If you use tact and comment sincerely, you can then use a signature that includes a link to your website.

Always use proper manners when utilizing these free traffic sources. Just because they are free does not mean that you should be without ethics.
