ways to generate low cost website traffic without having to
spend what you don't have or can't afford. Many people have
banked on high cost methods and have ended up losing their

Here I present to you the
Top five ways to generate low cost website traffic that could
help your site a whole lot. Even if you only get a small percentage
of successful visitors in to client ratio it still works
especially if you get a high number of website traffic.
Exchange
Links
This is a sure and
proven method. Rarely would you see a site where there is no
link to another site. Many webmasters are willing to exchange
links with one another so that they could produce more public
awareness about their sites. You'll soon see and feel the
sudden upsurge of the traffic coming in to your site from
other sites.
A major prerequisite
in exchanging links with other sites is having the same niche
or content as the other site. They should share a common
subject so that there is continuity in the providing of
service and information to what interests your target traffic.
Exchanging links also
boosts your chances of getting a high ranking in search engine
results. It is common knowledge that search engines ranks high
sites that have inbound and outbound theme-related links. With
a good ranking position in the search engines, you will
generate more traffic in your website without the high costs.
Traffic
Exchange
This is like
exchanging links but on a different higher level. This may
cost a bit more than exchanging or trading links but could be
made cheaper because you get to earn credits. You can use
those credits when viewing others traffic, while you earn
credits when someone views yours.
Traffic exchange
services are the viewing of another's site or page. This is
done vice versa where a site can use your sites contents and
so can you to his or her site. You both benefit from each
others efforts to generate traffic. The other sites visitors
can go to your pages and know more about your site as well as
theirs. Once again the public awareness of your sites
existence is boosted.
Write and Submit
Articles
There are many
e-zines and online encyclopedias in the internet which
provides free space for articles to be submitted. If you want
to save costs, you can do the articles yourself. There are
many freelance writers who are willing to write for you for a
small fee, but to save money, it is wise to do those articles
yourself.
Write articles that
are themed along with the niche of your site. Write something
that you have expertise on so that when they read it, they can
feel your knowledge about the subject and will be eager to go
to your site. Write articles that produce tips and guidelines
to the subject or niche your site has.
Include a resource
box at the end of your article that can link them to your
site. Write a little about yourself and your site. If you
provide a light, information-laden and interesting article,
they will go to your site for more.
Make a
Newsletter.
This may sound like
hard work because of all the articles you may need to use to
build a newsletter but on the contrary, this is not so. There
are many writers and sites that are willing to provide free
articles as long as they can get their name in on your
newsletter. This will also provide free advertising for them
as well.
As your newsletter
gets pass around, you can widen your public awareness and
build an opt-in list that can regularly visit your
site.
Join Online
Communities and Forums
This only requires
your time and nothing else. You can share your knowledge and
expertise with many online communities as well as your
website. You can get free advertising when you go to forums
that have the same subject or niche with your
site.
Share your two cents
and let them see how knowledgeable you are with the subject.
As you build your reputation, you also build the reputation of
your site, making it a reputable and honest business that
could be frequented and trusted by many people.
