8 Tips To Get FREE Traffic For New Website

In the last days I was on some forums for entrepreneurs and I discovered a repeating question: How can I drive traffic to my new business and website?

When the website link was included in the forum post I visited the said website and went through to see how it looks like, does it has a blog, Meta Tags, Keywords, etc. Some of them had no blog; some had no Meta Tags or Keywords of great advantage. Some had a hosted blog, mostly from Blogger.

What I can say is that if you like to drive traffic to you website you need to give the people a good reason to visit your website. Furthermore it can be helpful to be found where your targeted market and user base is around.

I have put together some points which you can do for free.

1. Have a self hosted blog. I recommend WordPress. It’s easy to use and free. Get yours here http://wordpress.org/
2. Pick a great WordPress theme, also for free. Here you can find thousands of themes: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/
3. Install a tweet Plugin into your WordPress blog, so Twitter users can tweet your posts.
4. Connect your blog with Twitter. There for you can get various Plugin for WordPress also for free. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
5. Choose your Keywords and Mate tags. Use Keyword phrases of three to four words, you can check popular Keyword phrases here https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal Write a short and easy remind able description, include your phrases as well.
6. Connect your twitter with your facebook. The posts which you publish in your WordPress blog will be pinged to twitter and twitter pings them to facebook.
7. Build and engage your twitter followers and your facebook friends. Step into 2way communication. Don’t just broadcast!
8. Post remarkable content frequently. Start with 2-3 post per week and increase the number step by step. Write about the things which your audience is interested in.

Google Reader Can Create A Feed For Any Site Now

Spread your content through hundreds of RSS Feed directories even if you have no RSS Feed on your site.

Google has launched a new feature for Google Reader that lets users create a custom feed to track changes on pages that don’t have their own feed. In other words, you can follow changes to any site.

“These custom feeds are most useful if you want to be alerted whenever a specific page has been updated,” says Google’s Brian Shih. “For example, if you wanted to follow Google.org’s latest products, just type ‘http://www.google.org/products.html’ into Reader’s ‘Add a subscription’ field. Click “create a feed”, and Reader will periodically visit the page and publish any significant changes it finds as items in a custom feed created just for that page.”

Some ideas on how to use this for your business.

This is an amazing and FREE opportunity to spread your web site content and your updates to the web.

For example: If you have web shop and have no RSS feed integrated than this can help you to spread your updates and reach a bigger audience.

If you prefer to keep competitors in sight than you can build an RSS feed with Google Reader to stay updated about their products and services even if they have no RSS feed on their web site.

I have attached a list of RSS Feed directories where you can submit the feed you have created.
