Generating free traffic to your site

When it comes to generating and boosting traffic, you would notice there are so many articles and books already written on this topic, but lots of website and blog owners still find it difficult to drive targeted traffic to their websites or blogs . They often use a little number of common techniques and get stuck on the way.

But with this article you would be able to look far beyond the methods you are using and out some new ones. By using these method below, you’ll attract more and even new visitors to your websites or blogs

1. Choose a domain name that is memorable.

If you are just starting out , it is advisable to choose a name for your website or blog that people can easily remember. Also make sure that does not sound like another webmasters website or blog. For example if you choose a name like http://www.eyevilla.com , your visitors might end up going to http://www.ivilla.com. So choose carefully and wisely too.

2. Use the right keywords in your image file names.

I have a article on one of my sites that generated over 10,000 visits a day because it had the pictures of a celebrity that was in the news that day. I was amazed and you bet, I have never stopped using this trick to draw traffic to my sites. So when you save your photos on your computer give them appropriate file names. If it is a birthday picture you can save it as party.jpg or birthday.jpg. You would be surprised at the added traffic you would get from this.

3. Intensify your keyword research.

You have to intensify your keyword research if you want to get high traffic from the search engines. There are many free tools online that will help you find out the exact words or phrases that people are typing into search engines. Search Google for some of them, even if they don't give you a concise result you will still get a rough guide which can be very helpful if included in your articles and posts.

4. Write good titles.

This is another good way to boost traffic to your website or blogs. Take some time and think of good titles for your articles. Put yourself in the shoes of your visitors and imagine what he or she would type into Google or other search engines to get to your article.

5. Write or blog about hot topics.

The media has a lot to offer you here, there are so many hot topics and news each day on the news. When you notice a hot gossip, news, problems or anything you think people will be interested in ,write about it. I wrote an article on the H1N1 flu and also another on the death of Michael Jackson, and the traffic I got was unbelievable.
