Cheap Traffic Generation
By Vlad Ehrsam
Even though you are certain that your stellar website is destined to dethrone the kings like Yahoo and Google, you just cannot seem to get the people to your site. If you had the money for pay-per-click programs or things of that nature then you would gladly spend it because you know you have a winning website. But, you are broke and your website doesn’t even rank in the first 100 pages, let alone the coveted first page. You are starting to despair and fear that dream that was your killer website is about to die a very sad and depressing death. But, fear not, because there is hope yet for your site and here are some free ways to bring visitors to your website and salvage your dream:
A ranking on the first page of search engine results may not cost anything, but it does require a lot of hard work and dedication. Getting to that first page of the search engine rankings means that you will have to do some research on the competition. You want to look at companies on the first page of the search results because they already have the winning formula. Look at and try to figure the basics of their keyword density formula. What sites are they linking to? How much are meta tags influencing the results? Every variable needs to be studied individually and you will need to test your conclusions to see what boosts your rankings the most. It is probably best to start with the keyword density formula. Once you think you have figured out the basics of a winning formula, you need to get busy churning out some informative and well-written content to post to your site using your new formula. No formula will be perfect, just find one that significantly boosts rankings and write content based off of it.
Another great way to increase your ranking is to link with other sites. If you have links to other popular sites, then the search engines conclude that you must a pretty important site yourself. Webmasters like linking with sites that will benefit them as well so you have to have a lot of useful content. This is precisely the reason you need to work on a winning keyword density formula so you can use it to generate a ton of great content using it. The more links you establish with high-traffic sites, the closer you get to that number one ranking. Once you know you have some killer content based upon a winning keyword strategy, begin e-mailing webmasters asking them for permission to link with your site. There are websites that will allow you to link with them without first obtaining permission and although they may not be the greatest links, it is a decent beginning all the same.
Another way to increase your traffic flow is to advertise on Yahoo classifieds for free. Yahoo is one of the most visited websites in the world with millions of daily hits. If you can write some great copy, you will have lots of people visiting your site to see your ad. With Yahoo you can post 10 ads free of charge each time. So, go on writing ads and posting them until you manage to drive people to your site. Don’t aspire to become Google overnight. But it’s the best way to work towards that goal. And, it costs nothing. Online classifieds on Yahoo are absolutely free.
To maximize traffic flow, you are going to have to master the search engines. Almost 90% of the people browsing the web get to websites through search engines so they remain the gatekeepers to your potential success. Be sure to carefully examine your competition to see what they are using to get those high rankings. Concentrate first on the keyword density formula so you can start writing articles and content as soon as possible. Once you have a site filled with great content that may be of value to other webmasters, try exchanging links with other websites. The process is slow and tedious, but if you remained determined it is very possible for you to sit atop the search engine ranking universe, counting your gold!
