Free Ways to Get Traffic to Your Website

One of the easiest ways to get more visitors is writing articles and blog posts frequently.

Whenever you post to your blog make sure you are pinging at least a dozen services. Any word press blog will let you add a ping listy. The free word press blogs automatically ping “Ping_O_Matic,” A service that in turns send out pings to other sites. For a free blog on blogger.com you can use “Ping_O_Matic,” or another ping service. There are quite a few of them out there so if one glitches on you, just find another one and use it.

Posting regular updates (once a day or even more often) to your blog will get you more visitors because people will get in the habit of regularly checking (either through visiting your blog or through their RSS reader) to see what’s new.

And posting to your bog is actually the easy writing you will ever do. You can be very informal and get away with it. You have to tighten up things a little when you write an article. Not much, but a little. After all, you want the article directories to accept your article to display on their sites and give you the exposure you want and the back links you are looking for

Posting to your blog can be a lot shorter, say 200 to 250 words. For an article you want to think 350 to 500 words.

Remember to link from within your blog posts to the sites you want the search engines to find a link to and so any visitors reading that particular blog entry will have that link right in front of them

So don’t think too much, just write. You want to get into the habit of spitting out a blog post in 5 minutes. Blog often and set up more than one blog if you want. To really establish a blog some ‘experts’ say you should post up to 5 times a day. But daily will get you some notice. You’ll want to spend your effort on other marketing strategies as part of a full business plan, right?
