INTERNET MARKETING HELP

Free Internet Marketing Help
- Tips and Strategies

The following Internet marketing help and strategies are 100% free and will bring a fair amount of targeted traffic to your website. If your site is properly optimized to make money online, you will soon be earning enough money to invest in buying traffic. Here are 12 reliable free techniques that will give you the necessary internet marketing help and advice to incease website traffic.

This internet marketing optimization tip is so obvious it will not even be counted, but it is often overlooked: submit your site to the major search engines like Google.com, Yahoo.com and MSN.com, and to as many other search engines as possible. This is one of the basics of web marketing, and is the most obvious way to increase website traffic.

3. This internet marketing strategy is powerful. Write a press release about your site and submit it to press release sites like prweb.com. If you are not familiar with press releases, do some research; a press release is not written like an article.

4. If you are happy with a product or service you have used, write an unbiased testimonial and trade it for a backlink to your site.

5. Start a blog at blogger.com, and one at Wordpress.com. Link them to your site and submit them to the hundreds of free blog directories. This will get you plenty of quality online traffic as long as you keep your blogs up to date.

6. Try posting ads with a link to your site on all the free classified ad sites you can find, such as craigslist.com. This will help with search engine optimization because it creates inbound links to your website. The best classifieds will allow you to post a live link but don’t neglect the others. If your ad is well written, people will go out of their way and type your URL in their browser. Of course, you must post it in the appropriate category.

7. An easy way to increase website traffic for free is to add a link to your site in your email signature.

8. Start a page on myspace.com and on any other high page rank social bookmarking site you can find. Similarly, go to Squidoo.com, open a few accounts, create a few lenses, and link them to your site.

9. Submit a viral video to youtube.com. You don’t really need video producing know-how, a simple PowerPoint slideshow with some background music will do the job perfectly. This is a great way to get free online advertising.

10. Search your main keywords using Google Keyword Tools or use WordTracker.com. Then see if you can exchange reciprocal links with related websites that appear in the top results.

12. Your site should include icons for sites like StumbleUpon.com so that visitors can rate your site. You will get a higher page ranking with the search engines if your site is popular.

This final tip is not free, but it's worth the money. Check out the misspellings or variations of your domain name, or those of your competitors. If you find a good available domain, grab it and redirect the traffic to your site.

I know all this looks like a full time job but this internet marketing help and techniques work. You don’t have to use them all at once, just choose the ones you feel comfortable with. Invest 30 minutes to an hour daily building your free online traffic. Then move on to your next favourite technique and within a few weeks you should be earning enough money to afford to buy traffic.

What Gurus Never Tell You
About Free Internet Marketing

In three of the above free internet marketing techniques, there are further twists and turns that allow you to generate even more free traffic to your website, as discussed below.

1. Writing Articles

Every guru teaches you to write keyword-centric articles on topics that are related to the theme of your website, and submit them to article directories. This is a very effective technique for creating backlinks to your website. Your website will increase its page ranking with the search engines. And the articles you write will be indexed by the search engines.

Take advantage of this technique by submitting articles to website and newsletter owners in related niche markets. Offer your articles to these sites for free and ask them to publish them. They may agree to publish your articles if they are well-written and the content is good. Include your URL and this will magnify your exposure.

2. Forum Internet Marketing

Gurus teach you to search the forums in your niche and comment on issues, ask questions, offer solutions, and attach a link to your website in your signature file. Once again, this is a great tactic to generate backlinks and draw traffic to your website.

Take advantage of this internet marketing technique by reading the content of every category in the forum. Get to know the common problems and the questions people ask in each category. Compile these problems and questions, and create a report which addresses each issue and provides the solution. Inside the report put links to your website or blog. Then offer the report to the forum members for free. This will drive targeted traffic to your site.

3. Social Bookmarking Sites

Gurus teach you to bookmark your webpages or your articles in article directories, so that they get linked by social bookmarking sites like Digg and StumbleUpon.

Here is how to take advantage of this internet marketing technique. Instead of just bookmarking your webpages or blogposts, etc., find out what is highly ranked in the social bookmarking sites. Look for something that is related to your niche; write an article for your blog, and bookmark it.

Go to the existing highly ranked post and add a comment to it that includes a link to your blog. This will give you a quality backlink to your site to draw visitors who have read the highly ranked post. Hopefully, they will vote for your article, which could push your post up the social bookmarking site's favourites list.
