Great Free Traffic Resources

Heres a great link I came across today for some ideas on building web traffic cheap: http://www.squidoo.com/free-traffic-hits

(Hint: Notice he is using both Squidoo and Hub pages to spread his content and add affiliate links?)

His Ideas Real Quick:

Add and Instant Buzz toolbar. I'm not sure about the InstantBuzz.com idea. I have enough toolbars on my browser as it is, any more and it'll be hard to see the web. Anyone else tried this?

I was sort of interested in their hyperspace ads for your website, not so much the toolbar, but they look like pop up ads to me and there was no option to do one or the other, it was a single download only.

YouTube Marketing. Duh, third largest website online as far as traffic is concerned. The problem is making the videos. And I'm not so sure about the idea of uploading the same video three times to increase your views, even if it is with different titles and descriptions.

Squidoo + Hub + Blog = Mega Traffic. Ok, sorta. Maybe I'm not working hard enough. It is a good combination but I haven't yet seen the traffic that I was hoping for.

Do we ever?

Free Link Building Tool

I have a bunch of techniques for building backlinks that have been hard won. I had to struggle for a long time to find what works and what doesn't.

And then I would have to figure out how to speed up the process of doing what did actually work.

One of the things that worked for me was commenting relevant thoughts on other highly ranked blogs.

The problem, sometimes those blogs had no follow tags in their commenting system, which is understandable with the amount of comment spam that can spread around, besides which I'm not too sure that the no follow tags are always all that bad.

Regardless, the free tool offered by Comment Kahuna simplifies a lot of the process and makes building links and traffic that much simpler.

Their Page describes the software like this:
  • Generates a TON Of Free Highly-Targeted Traffic!
  • Boosts Your Search Engine Rankings
  • Gets Unlimited Free Backlinks From High Authority Niche Blogs

The important thing though is to sign up with a valid email address. Believe it or not they don't spam you and the email is required to get the updates as past version may go unworkable with search engine upgrades.

Anyway, good luck, and if you aren't using it you are missing out on a lot of free exposure online.
