Once you have a site you need to know how to drive traffic to the site. Here are 6 free traffic strategies that you can apply to immediately drive targeted traffic to your website.

How do you get visitors to your site?

Driving traffic to your new website does not happen on its own! The secret is to market your site so customers, clients, or readers will want to visit regularly.

• Visit your competitors and other related sites. Visit the blog or forum on these sites and post a message with a back link to your site. A back link is simply the URL (address) or your site. Needless to say you need to put the back link in the context of a short sentence or message. If the site allows you to have a signature, then add a link to your site in your signature.
• Create a FREE account with DirectMatches, and join other businesses in the search for customers. Learn how to harness the power of social networking in the business model.

• Create a blog with a RSS feed that notifies subscribers whenever you have updated information. Then create new content in your blog regularly. You will find that others will begin to link to you from their own pages and list you as a valuable source of information.

• Use safe linking practices. Set up linking arrangements that appear natural. You only want to link to sites related to your keywords and target market. Just having links is not what you want to do. In fact you will be penalized for just having links. It is not the number of links that matter. What matters is if the sites you link to be related to your site and that those sites you link to have a rank of 3 or higher.
• Good site content is very important. Search engines love content, and so do your visitors! Fresh content will keep your visitors coming back to your website at their own will and you’ll naturally get higher results at search engines.
