There are many different ways to generate free search engine traffic to your blog. Here are 3 things you can do to get some free traffic:

1. Backlinks

One way to get backlinks is to post legitimate comments on high ranking blogs. Here is how you can do this. Let’s say you have a blog that talks about aromatherapy, then what you can do is type the following (without the quotes) “aromatherapy+blog” in Google. You will get many blogs from Google, just take a look those blogs that appear on the first page of Google’s search result.

Now, please read one or two articles on the blog you choose. At the end of the article, you should be able to post some useful comments for that article. Don’t forget to put your blog URL there so people who read your comment can click on your URL and visit your blog.

2. Bookmarking

Bookmarking is also a way to get backlinks. The two bookmarking sites you must use are digg.com and propeller.com because Google loves these sites. I have seen many bookmarks ranked on the first page of Google’s search results. The key to rank high in these sites is to do some keyword research. Make sure you use long tail keyword (keyword with 3 or more words) and use them as the title.

Propeller.com also allows you to put in a maximum of 5 tags. Tags are the keywords, your bookmark will rank well if you select the right tags or keywords.

Another two bookmarking sites I use are stumbleupon.com and onlywire.com. Make sure you check out OnlyWire, it allows you to bookmark in more than 20 sites with a click of the mouse.

NOTE: Do not just bookmark your own pages. If you come across a great site, you can then bookmark it. Notice that you can bookmark a page. Example: http://www.greatsite.com/page1.html

3. Article Marketing

Needless to mention, article marketing is POWERFUL. If you are not using it, you are losing out to your competitors who do. If you can, try to submit at least 3 articles every week to the following article directories:

• EzineArticles.com
• GoArticles.com
• ArticleDashBoard.com
• IdeaMarketers.com
• ArticleAlley.com

Also, please remember that the above methods need time. Don’t expect immediate results. Just do it consistently. Once you get the snowball rolling, you will start to see the results.

Another method not many people know how to use it right is YouTube. If you use YouTube the right way, you can get MASSIVE amount of FREE traffic to your site or blog. Click here to learn how you can use YouTube to drive traffic to your blog.
