Article Body:
Before you spend hundreds of dollars on website advertising, you should
consider cost effective ways to promote your site for free. Some people
think that you can just submit your site to the search engines and then
sit back and watch the sales come in, but this is one of many Internet
marketing myths.

I used to think that I could just submit my site to hundreds of search
engines and wake up in the morning with hundreds of sales. After a couple
of months of aggravation and no money coming in I realized that there
must be a more effective way to do this. I came to the conclusion that it
was going to take a little bit more effort to see the results I wanted.

I have since learned the tested and proven methods that have worked time
and time again for Internet marketers. I am going to tell you about the
top 5 ways that are 100% free to increase your website traffic, and if
you spend time on them and do it religiously you will find that they work
consistently

1. Article Writing

These are the two major benefits of writing an article related to your
website content and submitting it to free article directories:

* The people who read your article will most likely click the link in
your resource box and this will send you targeted visitors to your
website. If you write a informative article, people will recognize you as
an expert and will want to find out more information about you and your
business

* Every person who publishes your article must also include the resource
box with your website link in it. The more articles you have published,
the more backlinks you will have to your website. This will help increase
your search engine ranking and page rank over time.
2. Posting To Forums

There are many forums on the Internet on every topic you can think of.

Many forums will allow you to attach a signature to your post. Many times
this signature can include a link back to your website or a affiliate
linkYou should pick a few forums to visit regularly on topics related to
your website and answer questions and make informative posts. After
awhile you will build a good reputation with the other members and they
will trust you, and you will get free exposure to your website. Some
posts receive thousands of visitors. Posting to forums can also be
indexed by the search engines.

Be sure to make a useful contribution to the forum and don't just spam.

3. Reciprocal Linking

There are two main benefits to reciprocal linking:

* The more links you exchange with other websites, the more of a chance
the person will click on your link leading to your website.

* More links to your site will increase your page rank and it will be
perceived as more important by the search engines. There are some things
to avoid when exchanging links with other websites.

* You should link to sites that will be of interest to your visitors. And
also link to sites related to your site content.

* You should not link to sites that have hundreds of links on one page or
a very un-organized directory, this can hurt you in the search engines.
Only link to sites that have a clearly labeled link page and not hidden
where no one can see or click.

* Do not post to FFA link farms. This is a waste of time and will not get
you any traffic. It also might get you banned from search engines.

* Keep track of all your link exchanges with software or a contact sheet.
Also make sure that your link partners have not removed your link from
there website.

4. Email Signatures

This is the oldest and simplest way to get traffic to your website

Millions of us send e-mail everyday, but most of us just sign our name or
nothing at all at the end of a message.

Try including your name with a URL, tag line or slogan. Keep it short and
to the point and avoid shouting at someone or hype. You will be amazed at
how many visitors this will bring you. People will click your link out of
curiosity and send traffic to your site.
5. Traffic Exchanges

This is the last and easiest way to generate free traffic to your
website. You can surf for free credits or build a downline and receive
free credits for the sites that they surf.

The only bad thing about this is the visitors will not be as targeted as
the other four methods. Most people surf traffic exchanges for one reason
only and that is to surf as many pages as possible in the shortest amount
of time to gain credits for there website.

So how do you grab the attention of someone who is only looking at your
website for 30 seconds?

* Spend some time surfing and learn what type of market it is. You are
going to want to advertise a site that is going to be of interest to the
people on the exchange.

* Use a lead capture page instead of your sales page. If people are only
looking at your site for 30 seconds they are more likely to request more
info then sign up for a program on your sales page.

Do these five free methods regularly and you should be on your way to
free targeted traffic to your website which will increase with time.
