Getting Web Traffic For Free ? Top Questions Answered

By Lynette Chandler On June 25, 2011 Under Marketing

Getting web traffic to your site isn?t what it used to be anymore. Especially free tactics. We can lament all we want but the smart thing to do really is to adapt and keep forging ahead.

Sadly though, there are tons and tons of really bad tools out there that could give you a temporary traffic boost at best. There?s also a lot of people still dishing out old advice.

Rush Hour

Which is why I was really curious when I received an email from Jimmy D Brown about an hour long video presentation about free traffic. I was curious because I wanted to know what he had to say about getting web traffic for free in today?s framework. And also because I always pay attention to Jimmy because he always manages to give a new twist to things and leave me wondering, now why didn?t I think of that? even on the stuff that you may think you already know.

I sat through this video and here?s quick summary for you.

The video is formatted as a classic Q&A where Jimmy answers the top 10 questions his readers asked and these questions are:

  1. Is Article Marketing still a good and reliable strategy?
  2. Isn?t paid traffic better than free traffic?
  3. What should be included in a great free offer that can be used to drive traffic?
  4. How to ensure traffic you get from free sources are qualified buyers and not useless traffic?
  5. Do viral e-books still work?
  6. How much effort should you put into SEO?
  7. What percentage of people on Jimmy?s list have been obtained from free traffic methods?
  8. How do you drive traffic to a squeeze page?
  9. What is the BEST way to get free traffic?
  10. How do you get A-listers to email for you when you are starting out?

In answering those, Jimmy emphasized several things that he is not a fan nor a proponent of temporary tactics and tools. What he is after is long-lasting traffic. Traffic where:

  • You only have to do work once or at least minimal work in the beginning and keeps drawing people again and and again
  • Once it is set on the loose, cannot be turned off

Now that I like ? don?t you?

There are also other things that stuck out for me and they were:

  • Getting others to distribute your content
  • Source of traffic is key whether paid or free

These just happened to stand out for me because of where I am right now. I?m confident you will likely find something extremely valuable that?s applicable for your business. Watch it today ? Jimmy did not mention when this will be pulled. Better watch it before it is gone.
