The Best Way To Generate Free Targeted Website Traffic

If you have a website or you promote someone else's' website as an affiliate, you need to drive traffic to it.

Without traffic, you won't get visitors. And without visitors, you won't make money, sales, get subscribers, etc. What good is a website without any traffic? And if the site is getting traffic, what good is it if it's not targeted traffic?

There are many ways to drive traffic to your site, both free and paid. But we are not going to talk about paid traffic right now. That is a totally different topic and could take hours to cover.

So, back to free traffic. Some ways of getting free traffic to your site is by Search Engine Optimization, surfing for traffic, or getting it passively.

SEO takes time and a lot of work. When you join sites that are surf for traffic sites, you have to look at other members' sites in order to earn advertising credits for your site to be displayed when another member is surfing.

The only problem with this is that although the traffic is free, it is not targeted. Everyone who is a member only surfs for the credit and very rarely even looks at the site, they just minimize their window on their PC and multi-task. So, the traffic is crap and worthless.

Now, let's talk about the best way to get free targeted traffic. It's called Instant Buzz. Instant Buzz is a service that gives you advertising credits as you surf the web like you normally would. What you do is download the toolbar for free, it only takes a minute. Then, you set up your ads in the members area. And bam, you ads are being displayed on other members' tool bars as they surf.

You can also put Instant Buzz ads in emails that you send to your friends. These are called mail space ads. And your ad will get displayed in other members' emails. The last thing you can do is put a hyperspace ad on your website which will help you refer other members.

When you refer other members, you will also get a percentage of the credits they earn which will go towards your ad credits.

If someone likes your ad and is interested in what it says, then they click on it and end up on whatever site it was that you were promoting. Now that's targeted traffic! And it was free.

So make sure you visit http://www.InstantBuzz.com to start driving targeted and quality traffic to your website today. It will only take you a couple of minutes to start bringing visitors to your site.

Just my two cents worth of sharing...because it's working well with me.

Its been my experience that traffic from sources like InstantBuzz.com and TrafficSwarm.com isn't really all that targetted and doesn't convert well at all.

It was a post made to share an affiliate link. jereal, if you wish to post your affiliate link in the future, you must disclose it as such, or the thread will be deleted.

These sites may work, but if you have to do that for traffic then I dont think you have a site worth having.

InstantBuzz is a joke from my experience. I had over 4000 views saved....and this new program that just came out pays you to upload pictures and share them...well...i used all 4000 views and 0 CLICKS.....0....
Not really worth it.

I have not used InstantBuzz, but tried Trafficswarm.

Those who click your site using these websites are just like you. They wanted to build their credits. They don't really care which sites they clicked, as long as they know it gives them credits.

They are not targetted, seldom they will browse your site. Your traffic may goes up, but conversion rate doesn't change.

Not worth the time doing it.

I agree with the above. Waste of time. Do some good SEO work on your site instead.

yeah, sites like traffic swarem and instant buzz rarely work because all the people there are also looking for targetted traffic and really not interested in other things except to get people to their site.

you use traffic exchanges you will get traffic yes...but it is not targeted traffic.

the more targeted traffic you get....i.e. directories, adwords, seo......the high you sales rates will be.
