4 Highly Effective Link Building Methods To Get Free Traffic To Your Website Or Blog

Many internet marketers and website owners are on a budget and cannot afford to spend a lot of money on paid advertising such as search engine marketing, yet they would still like to build up the traffic levels to their website or blog as high as they can. There are several methods that you can use to increase the number of visitors to your website that do not cost any money but they may take some time to do correctly and effectively. This article will give you an overview of four different highly effective ways that you can use to get free website traffic, which are highly practical for internet marketers on a budget because these methods will only cost you your time.

The first method is to participate actively in various online forums that are either related to the overall topic of your website or relevant to something you are interested in. It is important to be a valuable contributor to the forum before you try to build any links, and then once you have made several hundred posts or so then you can fill in your resource box with links back to your website. These links will appear on every one of your posts, so the more you contribute, the more links and traffic you can get.

The second method may seem old fashioned to some people, but if you are willing to put in the effort and do it the right way it can really pay off. This method is a link exchange or swapping links with another website or blog, but there is a more clever way that you can do this other than simply sending an email asking for a link exchange. Once you have found a website or blog that you would like a link from, what you should do is take the time to write a positive review about that website and then email the webmaster with a notification that they have a positive review on your site that talks about how great their site is. Many times this will lead to not only a single link, but an entire review of your website talking about how useful it is.

The third method is to write informative articles related to the topic of your website and post these articles at various article directories. You can build links using this method because you will be able to have a resource box at the end of your articles that can include links to your website. Many times if you publish informative articles at some of the biggest and most popular article directories, they will end up being picked up by various other websites and blogs which can give you even more free traffic.

The fourth method is to use the same articles that you might submit to article directories and submit them for inclusion in different ezines or newsletters related to your industry. If you can provide high quality articles with compelling titles, many ezine publishers will be interested in including them because it means that they will not need to write the articles themselves. By following these four techniques to slowly build more incoming links to your website for free, you can begin to see an increase in your website traffic and hopefully start earning enough money to begin experimenting with other forms of online advertising.
