More visitors to your site means more people who learn about your product or service, which in turn means more sales. There are several things you can do to drive traffic to your website for free.

A great way for you to get targeted traffic to your blog is by spending time where your audience spends time. If for example, you run a dog training business, you will want to participate in dog training forums online. Most forums allow you to have a signature line where you list your website. By giving advice and adding value to the community your audience will see you as an expert in your market and in turn they will visit your website. Social media websites are another great venue for you to participate in. Sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn have various groups and communities focused on a variety of niche interests.

By writing articles that provide valuable, interesting information to your target market, you gain credibility and are seen as an expert by your audience. Writing articles and submitting them to article directories online allow you to drive free traffic to your website. Article directory websites allow you to link back to your site in exchange for the original content you provide to their website. Links back to your site build credibility with search engines as well. By writing articles you gain credibility, back-links to your site, as well as free targeted traffic.

There are many ways to drive traffic to your website. There are paid ways, such as Google AdWords, and free ways. Most people prefer driving traffic for free, however it does take some work.
