How to Increase Web Traffic for FREE
One of the best ways to get people visiting your website is to be ranked on the first page of Google or Yahoo search engine results.
The biggest criteria that search engines use in working out who gets onto the first page in search results are assessing the number of backlinks a website has.
Backlinks are words on a webpage that people can click on which takes them to another page or website for further information. These can be your actual website name or a shortened version of your website using tinyURL or bit.ly.
The search engine looks at how many websites are linking to yours. The more websites that link back to yours, the higher your google ranking which ultimately gets more free traffic to your website.
You can create your own backlinks by visiting related content blogs, forums, websites and leave comments and your own website address. You URL can also be included in twitter feeds, digg, facebook or any other social media.
Another way to create backlinks to your website is through article marketing, where you submit articles many free article directories and in the about author box at the end of the article include the link to your website.
Backlinks do not necessarily need to be created by you. Other people can place links to your website but this is usually difficult to do for many reasons, such as not knowing anyone with a website and what’s in it for them. If you have a product to sell, it may be worthwhile to join affiliate program which would enable other people to promote and sell your product in return for a commission of the sale.
There are faster ways to find websites to post your backlinks which can include using software (free or paid) that can locate, insert comment and website and post your link after you enter in your desired search criteria.
Another alternative is to outsource this task to a contractor or consultancy business that specialises in building backlinks for you. The charges can range to a one off, one time fee for software to a cost per backlink monthly ongoing service fee.
