You want to increase the amount of targeted traffic to your website and you want it for free from the search engines or other advertising sources. However, you should remember that you don’t just simply want traffic: You want targeted traffic.

These Steps will Help You Generate Free Targeted Website Traffic:

1. Setup a Blog, because:
    * It’s fast and easy to add new content
    * People tend to trust blogs more than websites
    * Blogs get updated frequently by the search engines
    * You get additional content when you allow visitors to post comments on your blog
    * Your articles are linked and listed chronologically automatically in a blog - There’s no need to do any linking of your pages like you’d have to do with a website

2. Get One-Way Links to Your Website or Blog by:
    * Submitting to carnivals at http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit.php
    * Go to high traffic blogs and make contributing comments on those blogs
    * You can find "Do Follow" blogs below which will allow the search engines to follow a link to your web site
      Not all blogs do this, so make sure you visit blogs from these Do Follow lists.
      Check out the Do Follow Blogs Directories and lists here:
