How I Generate Massive Amounts of Free Traffic to My Websites

If you're reading this I'm going to make some simple assumptions about you. Your relatively new to internet marketing, you've had a few mildly successful projects but you have encountered a major stumbling block that's preventing you getting to the next level. And that stumbling block is traffic. Am I right? OK, I know what you're going through. Let me show you the way forward.

They key to long term free traffic is appealing to the search engines. And the best way to appeal to the search engines is fresh, regular, unique, keyword rich content and back links. This is critical. I think that one of the biggest problems is patience. People have a new website which they are keen to test and aren't prepared to focus on the long term. They want immediate traffic and when this doesn't come they give up. This is a huge mistake. Generating regular long term traffic takes time and you have to wait for things to happen.

Here's all I do. I prefer blogging as it's really easy to add fresh content regularly. It's just as easy as writing an article and pushing submit. I post new content on average every couple of days (1 to 2 posts). I then write an article and use Unique Article Wizard (a paid service that I subscribe to) to create and then automatically submit articles to hundreds or thousands of different sites. In my resource box I include anchor text containing the keywords that I am targeting, one linking to my home page and another linking to another page within my site (this is called deep linking). I submit to about 40 sites per day. After about a month I write another article and repeat the process. And guess what, it really works. These articles do not generate traffic themselves. However, the back links that I create lead to exponential increases in search engine traffic with time. After a couple of months I'll be receiving about 100 unique visits a week which continues to rise and rise and rise.

I also boost traffic by submitting articles to EzineArticles, HubPages and Squidoo. These are high ranking sites so the back links that you generate carry a lot of weight. They are also pretty good and creating immediate direct traffic, especially if you do your keyword research correctly.

I also have a bit of software called RSS bot which I use to submit my site's content via RSS to 30+ RSS directories. This is an incredible bit of software - the whole process takes about 10 minutes and it's great for building up link juice.

I do use social bookmarking although I'm not quite sure how well this works in terms of boosting your SEO. It is great however for getting my sites indexed quickly (which sometimes happens within 24 hours!).

The other thing that I do is include posts on popular forums and add comments to blogs and other sites containing related articles, all of course with a link back to my site. These aren't as powerful as anchor links but they are links nonetheless.
