Do you have a new created website ? Or do you plan to create a new website but do not know how to generate traffic freely? This article will show you how to do that. It can help you to get traffic for your new website as I did.
1. Create a website which is search engine friendly.
If you already own the site, you must consider how to make it search engine friendly. This is important because with search engine friendly site will make sure all your pages are indexed and easy to find. Some actions you need to do are: create 301 redirection in .htaccess file in your root folder. This redirection will redirect your URL address to the one you want it to be known by search engine. Create robot.txt to make search engine know which folder she must crawl or must not. Create site map file ( usually sitemap.xml) put to your root directory, this will make easier for search engine to index your pages. You must include your site with: Title, meta tag, site description, H1, H2 header. Always use alt tag if you have a picture on your site. You can have already available application in market such as, wordpress, Joomla/mambo.
2. Create content as much as you can.
Adding more content/page to your site is very important, the more content you have the more visitor you got. Imagine pages as a door for your visitor, if you have 500 pages and all indexed by search engine then your website have 500 doors for your visitor. If every page bring you 1 visitor, then you will have 500 visitors visiting your site. To attract people reading your article you must write a good and informative article.
3. Get involved with forum, make a thread or answer people questions, and be helpful.
If you already a member of a forum, you can make a new thread in proper category, or you can reply on others thread. Put your website link in your signature, take a note on how many links allowed in your signature. Being active on a forum is very useful and will give you 2 positive effect, first you can get traffic from your signature. Second you will known as professional and helpful person, people will curious what site do you have. My favourite forums are Digitalpoint and iwebtool.
4. Bookmark your article in social bookmarking sites. If you have a good and useful news on your site, you can use social bookmarking sites to bookmark your article and share it with others. Some important bookmarking sites are: Digg, Stumbleupon, delicious
5. Build links to your site Link building is important to your site, search engine will consider your site is important based on how many links from other websites pointing to yours. You can active in forum ( use your signature link), link exchange with other related sites, or using third party program/services to do it. When create a link, you can make your anchor text to be your keyword, let say your site is about free ad, than you can make anchor free ad text. Some link exchange program you can join are: Linkmetro, freerelevantlinks, linkalizer and many more. You can write an article and submit to ezines site, like ezinearticles.
By repeating steps 2,3,4,5 your site will get free natural traffic from search engine, forum, social bookmarking and ezines site.
