Free Traffic from Social Media Sites, and Web 2.0 Sites

People spend a lot of time on Social Media sites and it’s easy to find very targeted groups of people. Remember these sites are mainly used for social interaction, so a heavy sales pitch usually doesn’t work. Sites like HubPages, Blogger and Squidoo are good for creating additional portals to your main site. What’s important here is all of these sites are VERY popular and can be used to send traffic to your websites.

FREE Traffic from Tutorial Sites

These sites are usually geared towards the design and technical niches, but there are still many opportunities in other niches. Sites like these are great places to establish yourself as an expert in your niche.

http://www.Instructables.com Very cool Visual Tutorial Site
http://www.Tutorialized.com Technical and Marketing Topics
http://www.Udemy.com is a great site for video tutorials. Your content must be First Class, but this is a wonderful site that is gaining a lot of attention.
http://www.learni.st is kind of like a Pinterest for educational tutorials. The content isn’t created here, but if you have tutorials on your site or YouTube this would be a good place to join and submit your content.

Guest Blogging and Forum Marketing

Guest Blogging lets you create content on other peoples blogs. Helps establish you as an authority and gives you a link back to your site. Can even help you promote a product or service that you offer. Use Google and do a search for: [“guest post” your niche]

Also do a search at Bing for the exact same thing. Google and Bing use different criteria so you will find many more opportunities using both Search Engines.

Some great places for guest blogging:

Forum Marketing is one of the most popular ways to get FREE traffic to your site.

Search Google for “forum” or “discussion” in your niche. Try and become an authority by contributing valuable posts and answering questions in the forums in your niche. If you are not an expert, just use Google or Bing to find the right answers. In your signature have a link to your site with a valuable FREE offer or some sort of SECRET

FREE Traffic from Social Bookmarking and Q&A Sites

The key to success with Social Bookmarking sites is to make connections with many other people on those sites. Generally you won’t see floods of traffic from these sites, but the opportunity is there for you to gain some visitors to your content.

Some great Social Bookmarking sites:

FREE Traffic from Ebook and Document Sharing Sites

FREE Traffic from Traffic Exchanges

The traffic from these sites is usually pretty poor, but if you have an offer geared towards affiliates or other marketers they may be worth checking out. I really don’t recommend buying upgrades or spending too much time at these sites, there are better paid traffic options and better uses of your time.
