There are lots of places online that offer free advertising and traffic services for anyone who has a website. If you haven’t tried internet marketing, your business is losing so much opportunities of getting recognized and gaining potential customers. Take a look at some of the best ways on how to get traffic and advertise your business website without spending a cent.


Use search engines. One of the best ways to advertise and get traffic for your website is by submitting it to search engine directories. Google, Yahoo and MSN offer free submission of website URLs once a month. Aside from these major search engines, you can also try submitting in other less popular web directories.

Exchange Links. You may contact other websites that is not in competition with your business and ask if they would like to exchange links with you. By providing a link to your website from other web pages, you can be assured that their readers will somehow check out your website sooner or later. In return, you’ll be posting their link to your website too so everybody benefits.

Participate in forums. There are many websites or blogs that provide a discussion box where everyone can freely participate and share their views. By joining these online conversations, you can spread the word about your business and the links to your website as well. Another advantage is that people who use online forums usually have the time to check out other people’s website. And most often than not, they do check out a link especially if someone has expressed an interesting point in the forum. When participating in forums, make sure that you’ll be sharing interesting views and not just posting a link to your site. Otherwise, people will see right through that you’re only there for the back links and you’ll be losing your chance to get traffic.

Blog. Almost everyone who spends time online has a blog of his own. People love to read blogs. Just by posting interesting entries or informative articles on your blog will guarantee that you’ll get as much traffic as you like. Visit other people’s blog and don’t forget to leave a comment so they can get back to your website. Ask bloggers if they would like to post a link of your website on their blog. Most bloggers don’t mind especially if you offer to exchange links with them.

Submit to article directories. You can also use the articles you post on your blog by submitting them to article directories. A lot of article directories offer free submission so you there’s no need to worry about any fees. Just make sure that your articles have excellent content and are 100% original. When submitting on online directories, don’t forget to provide a short information about you and your website at the end of each article. This is an effective way to lead people to your website, most especially if the articles they read are useful to them.

Conduct you own online forum on your website. This is a great way to encourage people to go back to your website not just regularly but frequently. People love to get in touch with others especially when discussing a particular subject that interests them. So keep your visitors coming back by creating your own online discussion.
