subject: Learn To Get Free Targeted Traffic From The Top Search Engines [print this page] Millions of people surf the internet every single day. Also every day, thousands of new websites are created which then begin to struggle for attention, competing against all of the sites that are already in existence. And as it turns out, those millions of online surfers tend to visit many of the same sites almost on a daily basis, only venturing out to new sites when they need to go to a search engine.
What does this mean? It means that every newly built website must make a great effort to get traffic from the search engines, since that is how new sites begin to become known. It means that websites that are just starting out have to find ways to rank high on the various search engines, or else most internet surfers will never even know that they exist.
Getting Targeted Website Traffic-For Free
As challenging as this may sound, it isn't all that difficult. There are three easy-and free--ways involving links that can greatly improve a websites search engine ranking. And, if a website has a higher ranking, that site will see much more traffic from the search engines-and that is targeted traffic. These are people who are coming to the website because they are interested in the website due to its blurb on the search engine.
Here are the four methods involving links that webmasters can try to increase their site traffic:
1. Link to other, high-quality websites that are within the same general theme. For instance, a new website that sells aquarium supplies would want to link with other sites that involve fish.
2. Triangular linking is a one type of linking that is really effective at sending a great deal of traffic to a website. With this type of linking, one website places a link to a second website. The second site then places a link to a third site. Then the third website links back to the first website, completing a linking triangle.
3. Submitting links of articles written on a new website to article directories will also bring in targeted traffic. This is because anyone who reads the article and clicks back to the website is definitely interested in the subject matter.
4. Add links to social bookmarking sites and to places like Twitter and Facebook. This is free and simple, and anyone who clicks through the link wants to know more about the information, thereby giving the website free targeted traffic.
Free Targeted Traffic through RSS Feeds
RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is a great way for any website to increase their traffic. What's more, it works very well. Many webmasters can boost their traffic by up to 20% by simply adding RSS feeds to their sites.
This strategy works so well because it allows webmasters to continually distribute 'teasers' of their latest content quickly and easily. In addition, RSS feeds get search engines to crawl a website more often, which helps to make a site rank higher-this will give a website a definite advantage.
