In this article, we are going to go over five simple methods on how to generate free targeted traffic to your website. I should say, that you can use to generate more targeted traffic to your website.
1. SEO (search engine optimization)
The most important, in my opinion, is search engine optimization. Truly, this should be most bloggers' bread and butter in terms of driving free, targeted organic traffic to their website. So you want to make sure your blog posts are optimized properly, you're targeting proper keywords, you're writing proper SEO tags for your website, you're tagging your images as well.
Make sure that you're building backlinks to certain blog posts. Make sure that you're building internal links within your blog content to other pages on your website as well. It can bring you in floods and floods of targeted organic traffic to your website over the long-term if you do this correctly.
So that's always my number one recommendation and what I teach the most is how to drive more targeted traffic to your website through SEO. So that's the best method, in my opinion, for driving free traffic to your website. SEO should definitely be something that you learn as a newer blogger, or that you learn over time to start gaining more momentum with your website.
2. creating quality and valuable content.
If you're generating really high-quality content that's super-valuable to your readers, this increases the chances of, one, actually, the search engines liking it, and two, it increases the chances that it will get shared more on social media platforms.
If you really focus on generating high-quality and valuable content to your readers and you're optimizing it properly, like I discussed in the last step, this really can be a great recipe for, one, people sharing it on social media platforms and driving additional traffic to your website that way, and two, creating high-quality and valuable content tends to rank really well in Google compared to just slapping together really low-quality articles. So always focus on quality and always focus on providing value within the content you produce to your readers.
3. Posting On Relevant Forums
Now, number three is kind of an old-school tactic, but can be beneficial if done properly, is posting on relevant forums. So depending on the niche, you should try to identify various forums, popular forums, some of the top forums that you can locate. For example, I'm in internet marketing, SEO, the blogging niche. One of the best forums for people like me in this niche is called the Warrior forum. And what the Warrior forum allows you to do is they allow you to have a little signature or link that you can have below every single one of your forum posts that can potentially drive targeted traffic to your website.
So it's important in these forms that you are active, that you contribute to the threads and the discussions on these forums, and that, again, like talked about the last step, just like in your blog content, you want to make sure your forum posts are super high-quality and highly valuable posts as well. This will encourage more people to click through and be more interested to see what your signature link is all about and what your website is all about in general. So kind of an old school tactic, but this still can be really beneficial if you're a newer blogger trying to generate a bit more traction and just generate a bit more awareness around your overall website.
4. Creating YouTube Videos
This is probably one of the best ways to generate free targeted traffic for your website. Just like your blog, you want to build up your YouTube channel as well. You want to consistently produce and generate high-quality content. Once you start gaining a little bit of a following, you can put your links to your website within the video description and encourage people to click over to helpful articles on your website. So it's super important that, with where we're seeing people's attention go today, so much traffic is hanging out on YouTube on a daily basis.
It's incredible the number of users and people that surf YouTube on a daily basis, hourly basis even. So you definitely want to capture some of this traffic for yourself. And it's really not that difficult. If someone likes your video content, there's a good chance they're going to check out your video description, especially if you prompt them, to take a look at a specific article of yours in the video description. They're going to be happy to click over to your website. And you could earn a brand new reader that way, or even a subscriber to your email list.
So YouTube should definitely be utilized. And it's a great way to drive free targeted traffic to your website.
5. Guest Posting On Other Blogs
This is also one of my favorite methods to generate free targeted traffic to your website. So there are two benefits here of guest posting, one, you get the benefit of building a quality backlink to your website. Most guest post opportunities, they'll allow you to add a link that points back to your website. So this is helpful from an SEO perspective. So the first benefit is that you build a quality backlink for your blog or your website, which will help with your search engine rankings over time, and it's good for your overall SEO. Number two is these guests posts, if you have a link within your guest post article, one, I said you get the backlink, but two, you can also generate some really good referral traffic, free targeted traffic, from people clicking on your link within the guest post if they like the article, and check out your website.
So guest posting, I would say would have to be doing in some volume. You want to do this definitely consistently over time. It's really going to help your SEO and it will increase your overall referral traffic as well. This is free targeted traffic coming into your website. So guest posting is an excellent way, kind of a one-two punch strategy to, one, improve your SEO, and two, to generate more targeted traffic to your website.
6. Share Your Blog Content On Social Media Platforms
Last, but certainly not least, is sharing your blog content on social media platforms. It's incredible that so many people are hanging out on these platforms as well, just like I discussed on YouTube. But there's so much traffic on these various social media platforms that you could take advantage of. So make sure that you're sharing your content on social media as well.
This is just a surefire way to get more targeted and free traffic to your website. And you don't have to do all the social media platforms at once. You could start with maybe one or two and really try to hone in on those, and then maybe venture off onto a few other social media platforms as well. But this is really just a great way to generate some pretty simple free targeted traffic to your website. So make sure you're sharing all of your content on your social media platforms as well.
So with that being said, there are a whole lot of other strategies to drive more free traffic to your website, but these are just some that I've seen success. So you don't have to try all of these rights at once. Maybe pick one or two, to begin with.
