Get Website Traffic - Where To Start?

By Robert M Hillman

We have to ask ourselves,"are we going to keep paying for traffic,or are we going to learn how to get it for free?" There are many systems that will show you how to get lots and lots of traffic, if you pay them of course. Don't go and invest in another course until you have read this article.

There are countless programs on the Internet that all claim to help us find the holy grail of traffic. Well, in a way they are right, we are helping them to buy their 'holy grail' but not our own. I must confess, I have helped some of these sites make a lot of money, my money that is. What is needed is more simplified approach. I found I was spending way more than I was making. I had to start doing things that actually worked.

In fact, if you are starting out on a 'shoe-string budget' l, you may not want to spend any money at all, the fact is that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a lot of traffic. Call it an 'old wives tale' or just call it something that someone wants you to believe ( are they trying to sell you something?). It can be a good idea to take a step back.

Indeed, one of the easiest and hassle free methods to get website traffic is just to write a few articles and publish them on the Internet. Some people just couldn't be bothered to do this at all. Well, they are the ones missing out on the free traffic, they are the ones who are paying for something that others can get for free. I know what I would prefer.

If you have never had any experience writing before, then just think of it as if you were talking to one of your friends and explaining it to them. What people like to read is your 'first-hand' experience. In fact it is better if your look at your writing in this way, it is much easier than you think, you just have to make a start. Your articles can be fairly short, from 250 to 500 words is all, that is just a few short paragraphs.

All you need to do is to put your signature on the bottom of your article (in the resource box) , when people read your article they may like to click through and visit your website to see what other interesting things they can find. A ' rule of thumb' is that you will get perhaps ten percent of the people that read your articles who will click through to visit your web site.Some will buy from you when they are there. This is an easy way to get website traffic.
