Get tons of highly targeted traffic for free
Here’s a little tip that not many people do, yet it can be incredibly powerful. Instead of submitting every article you write to dozens of article directories, consider writing a few unique ones for specific authority sites like About.com or other popular sites in your niche.
Most of these sites are always looking for free content, and if you offer them quality articles (not just promoting your stuff), you’d be surprised at how many will feature your article along with a link to your site. You can even go a step further and offer them to use it any way they see fit (even allow them to take credit for it) as long as they keep your link intact.
I’ve done this and should definitely be doing this a lot more after seeing great results with it. For some articles, I easily get 100 or more visitors each week. Over the course of only a few months, I’ve easily received well over 2,500 visitors from this one article (not including others who may have seen the article and remembered the site without clicking the link).
This isn’t bad for ten minutes of work, is it? I’m amazed at how many people overlook this. Too many people are obsessed with sending their articles to as many directories as possible, even if the majority of them will never give them more than a small handful of visitors (if even that).
You can take this concept here to an even bigger picture and offer to write free articles for magazines, newspapers, and other publications. The method works incredibly well.
You can buy a $50 guide on getting free traffic that won’t work nearly as well as this little tip right here. And since you’re a reader of my blog, I won’t even charge you a penny for it.
