Every website owner no matter how big or small the website is has one main goal, to get traffic, it is absurd if the intention is any different. While anyone can get a website designed, not everyone can traffic to their website and let’s face it, a website without traffic really has no use, just to milk hosting fee from your pocket.
But how can one direct traffic to a website without paying those costly advertising fees that websites like yahoo and google slap their advertisers with? Here are three free ways to drive traffic to your website.
More to social websites than socializing
Websites like Hi5.com and Myspace.com offers visitors to create and customize profiles personal which ever way they choose with little restrictions for free. This is one of the best ways to drive that much sought after traffic to your website. By creating a profile for your business website on Mysace.com you can ‘pimp your profile’ to look like you website and add ‘friends’ with similar pages who will inadvertently, through curiosity click a link you would have placed on your profile to your website. Myspace.com has billions of registered users so the more friends you have the more viewers you will get.
Get listed on DMOZ.org
