I’ve been marketing online for around six months now, and have made a considerable income doing so. Now the biggest problem I see with most new internet marketers is being able to increase traffic to their site, or get any traffic at all. You hear of people all the time going months or even years, marketing online, and never seeing any traffic or money for their efforts for that matter. There’s a good chance these people aren’t leveraging the free traffic tactics to bring a lot of traffic in!

First and foremost, one of the quickest ways to increase traffic for your site f is to write articles. Now there are SEVERAL online articles submission sites. My personal favorites are EzineArticles, GoArticles, and Amazines. Now, like I said, there is a ton of free submission sites you can submit to, to increase the traffic to your site.

I was having a real hard time getting my articles submitted at first, and then my mentor, Darren Salkeld, told me to just write as though I was giving people information. This is more like writing a review as a third person about your product or service. When I changed my thinking about writing these articles, my submission rate sky rocketed. One of the posts I recently wrote received one hundred and sixty views in the first hour of submitting it.

Now obviously that example is a little out of the ordinary, but even if your getting twenty hits a week on one article, what happens when you have a hundred articles that are just bouncing around cyberspace somewhere. The possibilities are astronomical to increase traffic to your site, you guessed it FREE!

Another way to increase traffic to your site is social media sites. Social media sites include sites like Facebook, Myspace, BeBo, etc. Facebook alone gets 18 million views a day. Social network marketing has opened up the playing field for beginner and guru a like. The plain has now been leveled and you can disguise the limit.

A third way to bring in some free traffic is through videos or "attraction marketing". Videos are huge because it gives that personal relationship to the people watching because they can see you, and feel out what your all about. This is a must now a days because you have to make relationships with people. I’m sure you’ve heard of Youtube. This is the first place I would start with. This site is in the top ten most visited sites on the web. It accounts for over 60% of all videos watched on the internet and gets more than 100 million hits per day. If you can’t see the potential here you need to be doing something else with your time.

Now these by no means are all tactics at getting free traffic to your site, but they are a good start. More to come stay tuned in the next few days!

To your success,
