In this article i am going to teach you ways you can get free traffic to your website without paying a dime. The web has numerous amounts of free communities all you have to do is just leave your mark and let the sales start rolling in
OK Lets get started.....
1. Writing Articles - This is one of the most effective ways you can start to increase traffic to your website. everyone has an expertise whether you believe it or not. We all have hobbies. Writing an article is not as difficult as it may seem all you have to do is just write like you are taking in person or on the phone with a best friend. Some of the best sites i know of are
ezinearticles.com
goarticles.com
servicewarp.com
Write an article that you like and post it to all of the three above. These are by no means all the article websites there are but these sre the major players. ezinearticles.com does not allow for affiliate links to be placed inside the article so you can link your article to a blog and later redirect the reader to a sales page. Please note do not do too much redirecting or your reader will get fed up and leave the site. Go to all three site and publish your articles. Rember to leave your url link in the bio section along with a small comment. JUST DO IT
2. Search Engine Submission - If you have not done so by now you should have. Go to the major search engines and submit you website. Most search engines have a URL submission page this allows the search engine to know about your website and start indexing it. This will allow your website to be picked up by users who type in keywords that are in the Meta tag Home Page Title etc of your website. Make sure you submit to the major search engines like Google, Yahoo Search,Overture etc
3. Classified Ads - I have used classified sites with alarming success. Classified sites allow you to publish an add based on category the beauty about this is that Google Loves certain Classified Ads site on of which is usfreeads.com, If you write an add with a good keyword (i.e one that is searched for alot and have little competition) you will be picked up by Google on their first page free. Just make sure you include the keyword in your ad title
4. Link Exchange - You can ask a webmaster of a high traffic site if he is willing to do a link exchange with you. This helps both you and the webmaster as it increases the amount and quality of back links to your site which will result in a higher page ranking at the search engines such as Google.

5.Forum. Post your link in as many forums as you can. remember the whole idea is to get your link as popular as you can. There are many forums what you should do is to tactfully post responses to forum discussion and leave your affiliate or web link with them. Do not do any outright selling in forums. Most users will just skip over your link but if you make a meaningful contribution to the discussion then they will pay your website a visit.
6. Testimonials - If you have used or experienced a product and you think it is good then you can ask the publisher to place you testimonial on their website then you can leave a link with the permission of the owner of the product. Remember we want to make our link popular.
7.Email Signature . Please do not overlook this one. Add a signature to all outgoing mails with your link. This ensures that everyone you email knows about your website or affiliate link. Most people would be tempted to try the link as most people who you email you probably know you personally.
8. Search Directories - Please not that a search engine and a search directory are not the same. Go to search directories and post your url link.
9. Blogs - Do as much blogs as you can to promote your affiliate link or website. Blogs are a cheap and easy way to do pre-selling before the potential buyer moves on to the affiliate sales page
