10 Things I Really Love About Free Web Traffic - Internet Marketing Australia

I'll lay it out to you right now; free web traffic methods work. The real problem is most people don't believe enough in the process to make it work for them. If you've ever gone fishing late in the evening you know that it's a very tedious process that is interrupted by moments of excitement or at least satisfaction.
 
There is prep work and consistent application needed to make things happen. Here are my top 10 favorite methods for generating free web traffic. Try a few and get to know at least one of them intimately.

• Article Marketing - Using articles to promote your site or opt-in page
• Blogging - Providing short useful bits of information to subscribers on a specific topic.
• Forum Marketing - Participating in online group discussions on specific topics.
• Facebook groups - Social network site for people who want to keep in touch with friends.
• Twitter - A site that is a mix of instant messaging, social networking and blogging.
• Video Marketing - Free videos for distributing your message in an informative way.
• Podcasting - Video or Audio presentation on the Web distributed to a target audience.
• Joint Ventures - Creators working together to produce and distribute their products.
• Ad Swaps - Two creators distributing each other's product offer to their email lists.
• Free Giveaways - Promoting a free product in order to develop your email list.

The trick is to first determine your traffic goals; do you need to make one sale a day? How much is your product and how big is your market? Can the market sustain the current number of businesses reaching it now? If one sale a day will do it, then you need to figure out what it will take to get one person to buy the product.
 
If it will take 100 clicks to bring you one sale then your need to design a program that will get you 100 clicks a day. Design testing processes to evaluate each free traffic method to see what it will take to drive 100 clicks to your site.
 
With that said, figure out how much time it will take you to achieve 100 clicks and work accordingly. Some methods will not lend themselves to this kind of evaluation but you can get on a few forums to find out how others are tracking the free online traffic tools.
 
These are all good ways to build great traffic but you must be patient and not jump from one to another in frustration. If you get a schedule going after figuring out your daily volume needs, you can then work backwards and determine which set of tools will help you to accomplish the job.
