If you are just starting out there is no way you can afford to get website traffic the way the big boys do. They get traffic the old way and that is spend spend spend. Unless you just got a big inheritance or won the lottery you have to find a cheaper way to generate web traffic. Below are listed the top ways to get that traffic and some sites that will help.
Exchange Links
Believe it or not there are many webmasters out there in the same boat as you. They can’t afford to buy traffic or are unwilling to but they know they need it. A sure and proven method is to exchange links with these guys. You will hardly ever see someone running a website who doesn’t want to exchange links with you. It would be like turning down good free advertising and if someone turns that down they need their head checked. I have found a couple of social sites that are full of webmasters looking to get with other people and promote each other’s sites. Just keep in mind that your site needs to be legitimate enough that someone would want to be associated with you and most importantly for both of your sakes the niche and the content of the sites should be the same. Here are two I recommend:
MyBlogLog – This site is made up of communities that are actually just links to your blog. Join a blog’s community and message the owner offering to exchange links. I caution you to check out their blog first because I have noticed some people are just putting a sales page out there and are not interested in exchanging or even communicating with you.
Blog Catalog- Check out the groups especially the ones dealing with promoting your blog. You will see many offers for link exchanges.
Write and Submit Articles
I know I bring this one up a lot and there is a reason, it works. One of the fastest and easiest ways to generate targeted web site traffic is writing and submitting articles to the e-zines and online encyclopedias. Link back to your site in the biographical section and you will see increase in your web site traffic.
