How To Quickly Get Free Traffic To Your Website

Before any website can get sales, it must get traffic. The whole "build it and they will come" doesn't work with the internet. I used to own the domain name "vwbus.com" and it got about 40 to 50 visitors a day by people simply typing that in to see what was there. That is the exception to the rule, however. Most sites have to leverage other sites with existing traffic in order to get started. Here are a few ways that you can get some free traffic and leverage these sites that can get you the traffic.
Now, blogging can be like any other website that alone isn't going to get any traffic. However, depending on which blogging platform you use, you'll have an instant leveraged website or web platform you can use to get traffic assuming you use the right keywords in the right places on those blog posts. For instance, Blogger.com and Wordpress.com tend to rank relatively well with the search engines, especially with Google.
There are several social bookmarking sites, such as Digg.com and Del.icio.us and other sites like this. You can "bookmark" your own blog posts and other pages to help them get ranked in the search engines. Often times these social bookmarking "tag" pages will get ranked as well. Although this isn't a direct link, these pages can serve as bridge pages with links back to your site and these pages rank also rank very well with the search engines.
There are dozens of places on the internet that you can create mini-sites or individual pages. These sites typically will allow you to post whatever content you want to post including your own RSS feeds from your blog, other websites, articles, video or whatever else you'd like to create in these pages. The main key to success with these types of sites is to make sure that you're posting links back to your website, especially the deep links. Those RSS feeds included in the mini-sites or pages are a great way to get links back to your site. Also, create an individual text links using html or even images.
Articles are an excellent way to get high quality links back to your website which will generate visitors as well as search engine benefits. The search engines reward relevant links and articles represent the most relevant pages simply because you are in charge of the content of every article. So, if you're trying to get your site ranked for a specific keyword phrase, you can create articles on these topics and use the resource box or author profile to link back to your website using keywords for which you're trying to get ranked.
Posting on forums is another great way to generate links back to you site. Find forums within your niche and start contributing to the conversations. Make sure that you're posting on forums that allow you to add a signature with a link. Also, whenever possible, view the source on forums and see if they add a "nofollow" attrib within the link code. If they do, that forum won't do much for your search engine optimization, but will work for getting clicks back to your website.
There are a lot of blogs that you can add your comment to. These comments can be used for the search engine benefit by using your keyword phrase as the link back to your site. If the blog is a "popular" blog where many people add comments, the webmaster or blog owner may have a setting that prevent the search engine from giving credit for that link. In those cases, you can use the more popular blogs to link back to your site and simply get some clicks back to your site. This puts some of the pressure on to write comments that encourage the clicks.
There are several things that you can do to help you get traffic to your site. These are only a handful of ways you can use. The more time you spend trying these things out, the more you'll learn and the better you'll get at getting rankings and traffic.
