How To Drive Free Traffic To Your
Website Or Blog
By Yon Ismael
Free traffic... we all dream about it.
Millions of people coming to your website, clicking on every monetized offer
you have, you making thousands of dollars a day while you sip margaritas on the
beach in San Tropez...And now, (the sound of a needle scratching across a
record), real life sets in! Okay, okay. It doesn't just happen that way, but it
can. It's a lot of hard work. Grinding away day after day.
Here's the real deal for getting free
traffic to your website or blog...
1) Work every day doing posts on as
many social media accounts you have. Pinterest and twitter are great, but use
as many as you have time for. Create a buzz. Be different. Post often. Wait. It
takes time. Chances are you won't go viral overnight, so the turtle will win
the race. It's not a sprint.
2) Go to Google for information.
Looking for what's hot? What is everyone typing in to Google and searching for
the most right now? Go to Google and type in, "Google what hot
links". Google gives you free information on the most searched for
keywords/topics over time. Type in "Google trends". Use AdWords
Google keyword tool, type in Google "keywords tool" to look up
words/keywords and how often are they used per month.
3) Incorporate keywords into your
title, heading using h1, and down in the pages. Example: Title of my elephant
site, after looking in Google keywords and finding out the phrase searched the
most each month, "Elephants are like Humans". Then, in your first
line on your page, use headline size h1 to reiterate this, type it in again,
"Elephants are like Humans". Try to mention it several times within
your page, but don't get spammy. Google loves "like" content, but
hates word spamming.
4) If you have picture on your page,
make sure to fill in the ALT tags that let you put a brief description of your
picture. Use this to your advantage. Don't just put, "Elephant pic".
Write it more descriptive of the content of your page. Something like,
"Elephants acting human", throwing in the keywords 'elephant' and 'human'.
5) Try not to go off subject too much.
Stick with elephants acting human without side bars talking about elephant feed
or bananas and how they're grown. Too much extra blah, blah, blah.
6) Google always likes to see articles
of at least 500 words. Squeeze pages/landing pages are hard to rank, usually
because there is so little content on them.
A Little About Keywords And
Description Meta Tags
Meta tags are still useful, but
keyword meta tags with Google are dead. Fill in the description to match what
your page is about, keeping in mind to match the top searched for keywords from
Google tools. I've seen a site rank in it's category with barely any content,
under 100 words, and all the guy did was write a little 1 page site to show you
he can rank #1 on Google, as an example, without a lot of SEO going into it.
Check his page out, look at his simple source code of his page. Simple! And yet
he ranks #1 on Google in his category:

You can go to YouTube and look at
videos on how to get massive traffic for free from social media accounts also.
Some of these guys will "spill the beans" for free. Search stuff
like, "Get traffic from Reddit", or "Website hits from
Facebook" etc. Don't forget to send your site to: DMOZ.ORG so they can add
it to Google, AOL, Yahoo and more, for free. They will submit your site in
anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months. It's all a waiting game on the web.
Meanwhile, keep submitting your content to the social media sites with
backlinks to your site.
