A few months ago I was at wit's end in deciding what to do with my site because I had tried all kinds of things but my site was just not getting the attention it deserved and my site traffic was at an all time low. I decided that I had reached rock bottom and I have to work my way up the search engine rankings so I started to follow a free marketing plan as was given to me by a friend whose site is doing very well and today I have a PR of 3. With hopes of climbing still higher in the coming months and all for free! So I am going to share his wonderful advice with you so that you can have free website traffic just like me.

Firstly the first thing is that I started to really look at my website. I noticed that it looked dismal in plain white and blue and my email form was not making it appear like a real person was manning this site. So I decided to change that and downloaded a free template and applied it to my site and also made a special page for the company where I described myself and the company history a bit. I carefully inserted the correct amount of keywords in that and also named my products with the search engine-friendly keywords.

Then I wrote some articles and added my site information for reprint purposes and added them to my site as well as some article directories. These articles all had my link at the bottom so I got a lot many one-way inbound links in this fashion. I also compiled some of my articles into an e-book and started to give this away as a freebie and in no time I had so many people downloading and referencing my e-book so more brownie points to me.


But for my e-book downloads I asked people to register before they could download so now I also had their email addresses and I started to send out monthly newsletters with updates and new articles and tips and tricks to keep my audience interested. I also joined some forums that were connected to my niche and started to "talk" to others and post in forums with my site information in my signature line. I went to common question answer sites like Yahoo answers and answered questions in a responsible manner that were pertaining to my products

I started to enhance my link building campaign with social bookmarking sites that allowed people to add me to their list as well as I could also get new friends and possible affiliates when I added their links.

This was not very difficult it just takes a bit of time and effort as an investment because without that I don't believe you can generate site traffic and today I have managed to generate free website traffic and I am sure if you just follow these simple principles you will be able to get hits in no time at all. Remember each link to your site is precious.
