Trang 4How to Get Free Traffic
There are several ways to attract visitors to your site and gain more traffic without paying for it I don't have anything against paid traffic but I'm always looking for new and unique ways to bring in free traffic
That's what this report is about I will show you several ways that you can bring more traffic to your websites and blogs
Hello, I'm Lambert Klein and have been writing articles for several years I promoted my health sites with the same principles I share here
The first year or so I spent a lot of money on "Pay per
Click" programs such as Adwords I don't do that anymore
Will you need to? Well that depends, but if you follow these tips then
at least you can reduce the amount you pay drastically
I have found several techniques throughout the years to get free back links to my web sites and blogs I will share these ideas and tips with you in the pages of this report
You can do all of these yourself or you could outsource some of them
if you want
I'm pleased to offer this free e-Book to you and am sure you will be totally satisfied and learn useful tips and techniques
So let's begin…
Trang 5One Way Links
We all want links The more links pointing to us the better our visibility
is on the web That is if they are high quality and are produced in a natural way that the search engines will love
There are basically two kinds of links that can point toward your
website These are reciprocal and one way links
Reciprocal links are the ones where two websites are linking back and forth to each other These links are not as important as one way links which Google and other search engines love quite a bit more
One way links are more important, have more punch, and will benefit your sites more You will be happy to know that all of the techniques
in this report will bring you one way links in most cases
Many believe that one way links are too hard to acquire They may be harder to get in some cases, but I will show you how you can get them with just a little effort and time on your part
Just remember to go about this the smart way Don't spam or try to cheat your way through If you really try to help others and contribute
to the online community then you will benefit and reap the rewards
Trang 6Yahoo Answers
Have you ever used Yahoo Answers? If not, then this will be a good
example of how to get quality back links while helping others Just be sure that you pick a topic that's relevant to your niche and something you are knowledgeable about
First, go to:
http://answers.yahoo.com/
You will see a screen like this:
When you are logged in:
Click on the middle button "answer"
A new page will pop up with a Search Box Type the topic of your interest in the search box and hit return or search
You must be logged in to answer so either login or sign up before proceeding…
Trang 7There will be several questions listed down the page Pick one that you would like to answer and click on it.
1 If it says: " Resolved Question " then it already has the "Best
Answer" and is closed to further answers, so back up and move on to the next question of interest to you
When you see this button:
You can click on it and answer the question
You want it to be the "Best Answer" if possible So be sure you know the
subject well or copy some text from your blog or website that will answer the question in a way that will help the person the most
Don't leave a sub-par answer just to get a back link
You want to put some effort into it and leave a decent post that others will find of value
This will get your message read more and increase clicks to your
website or blog
Besides, you will feel good helping someone out in the process
Trang 8Here is where you put your answer:
Notice the bottom box "What's your source?" That's where you put the
URL to your site and gain a one way back link Be sure it's relevant to the question and helps answer it
When you submit your answer you will see a preview page If all looks well then hit "Submit"
Trang 9Now you can scroll down to see your answer and a strong link back to you.
You can repeat this every so often as long as you don't abuse it
I have gotten "Best Answer" many times and so can you
Trang 10Writing your own articles and submitting them to article directories and webmasters can produce a large number of back links for you over time
If you don't think you can write, I suggest that you try I bet you can
If you find that you really can't then there are other alternatives such
as Ghostwriters and other article writers that will write them for you for a fee
When you submit your articles to the directories, you cannot promote your products directly in the article You want to write an article that is relevant to your product and is helping the reader in someway
When you add your article to a directory you get a Bio Box
Sometimes it's called a resource box This is where you do your
selling Be sure to mention the benefit of clicking the link in the
resource box
This link should contain a key phrase up to three words that is either your product are a phrase relevant to it
That's the only place you can advertise your product
Some directories will let you put a link are two in the article itself as long as you are not promoting yourself Be careful about this Many will reject the article if it has links
If you keep writing and posting enough articles this will build a huge number of quality one way links Use relevant key phrases in the anchor text (the text containing the link) These will all be pointing back to your website or blog The search engines will love these.This is not a super fast process, but if you keep at it you will see
results Also you will be seen as an expert in your niche
Trang 11Here are some tips on how to prepare for your article and organize it.Research
If you are not 100% familiar with your article subject, then you want to
do your research first There are several ways, but here is one way that works for me
Here are three sources I recommend for research:
• EzineArticles
• Wikipedia
1 Decide on the search phrase that you want to research on
2 Enter your search phrase into each search engine above as needed
3 When you find an article of interest either print it out or better yet, copy/paste into a text document (Do not ever use this information "as is" in your content This is against the law and morally wrong.)
4 Repeat number three with a few more article sources
5 When you have completed this part of your research go over your text file or print outs, highlighting all the points that interest you
6 When you are done researching and preparing your article then re-write it in your own words You may use an outline like below
if it helps
Remember to use your own words!
Trang 121 Write an interesting and attention grabbing headline
2 Write an introduction about your topic Describe the main points you will be discussing briefly Sum up what the reader will know
or can do after reading the article
3 Discuss your first or next main point
4 Add 2-3 sub points as needed
5 Go back to number 3 above and write about your next main point Do this until you have finished all of your main points (3 main points is typical.)
6 Conclusion: Write a short closing statement Sum up the main points
7 Tell the reader what they should be able to do or know now that they have read the article
8 Now write your resource box
If you are not used to writing articles the above outline can help you focus and even prevent writer block
If you just can't seem to start then just write about anything no matter how silly This will break the cycle and get your creative juices going
If all fails and you still can't write then consider a freelance writer They will write the article for you at a reasonable rate Make sure that all rights to the articles are yours once you pay for them
You can find writers for you below:
Trang 13A blog is a web site that is easy to update and is usually posted to quite often The fresh content is what makes it so appealing to the search engines and visitors
You can easily setup a blog by going to one listed below and signup
or download it Of course you can have as many blogs as you want
as long as you have the time to maintain them
If you don't have a blog then I suggest for you to get one
Here are some places to get your own blog:
• Wordpress.org ( Download and setup on your own domain)
• Wordpress.com ( join and start posting on their domain with your own sub domain)
• Blogger l
• TypePad ( this is a paid service with a 14 day free trial)
The above are free except for TypePad
There are others too if you want to research more
If you are trying to promote one of your websites with a blog then be sure that the blog is relevant to the site you are promoting You could link to your web site from your blog posts or blog roll
If you write interesting content that people find useful then you will attract visitors that will come back
Trang 14Find relevant blogs and post comments that are helpful or contribute
to the post You may be able to add a link Just realize that many blogs have the "nofollow" tag for comments Even if you don't get a back link you may receive visitors
You could also ask the blog's owner if they would post an article by you with your resource box This could add content to the owner's blog's while increasing your visibility on the internet

Trang 15RSS is a web feed that it usually updated and published frequently Most blogs have this built in Think of it as a summary of your blog posts
By using these feeds, you benefit by letting them syndicate content automatically
Your visitors can subscribe to your feed and be notified when there is
a new post
Most modern web browsers can read these feeds easily making it more convenient for everyone
• Be sure there is a link to your RSS feed on your site

encourage you to research this further
Trang 16• http://classifieds.yahoo.com/ ( seems somewhat limited now)
You can find several more in the search engines
This is another way to get one way links
When placing your ad use an attention grabbing headline that will intrigue people and be of interest to them
Describe your product or service in the ad's body and add your link.This will bring in several targeted visitors if you repeat this with
several ad sites
Trang 17Join popular forums in your niche and contribute to them with
informative and helpful post
Post often and you will become a regular that is known by other
• Site Point Forums
Just search for Forums in your niche to find more
Trang 18You should have a signup or opt-in form on your sites to collect
visitor's emails Once you start collecting them you can send out newsletters
This is important to do because these will be highly targeted people that are more likely to buy from you
Keep them interested with good tips and articles in your newsletter
You can send them a sale pitch ever so often as well Just don't
overdo this or they will feel like that's all you want Keep the
interesting information coming in between
Offer a free report as an incentive to signup You can advertise this with free ads, forum signatures and on your blogs and websites
Make a mini sale page which includes:
• A photo of your Free eBook or product

Trang 22Press Releases
A press release is another promotional tool but in an indirect way
You can't blatantly promote your products but you can write about a new product or your company
A Press release is an announcement made to the media for the
purpose of drawing attention to a specific event within your business
Your press release should be newsworthy Be prepared to be refused
by some PR companies if it's not worthy
Your press releases will be picked up by news journalist and
newspaper to be used as a short story
Even if they don't use them, you still can get back links from the PR distribution sites
Your press release is not a sales letter, but you do want to have a hook or an angle if you want it to succeed
Here's a basic layout for a press release:
• Headline Make it attract the reader
• Summary – That supports the headline
• The Lead – The 1st paragraph should contain the facts of your story, no hype here
• The Body – Tell your story here A subtle indirect pitch may work if you are careful Show something positive about the company or product
• Ending paragraph tells what your company does and
describes it
• The end – Place ### on one line
• Contact information – Name, email, phone number, fax and URL
