Here’s the deal you have great website, but you’re not getting any traffic. I’m going to give you a few simple tips that you can use almost immediately to start driving targeted traffic to your website. And the best thing is it’s free, but it is going to cost you a bit of your time.

Article Marketing: writing articles and submitting them to various article directories is one of the fastest and easiest ways to get free traffic to your website. I know what you’re thinking. I don’t know how to write or what should I write about? Write about some of the common questions that your customers may have, or questions that they should be asking about your goods or services. Make sure the article is the least 275 words, because most directories will not accept articles that have less than 250 words.

Video Marketing: creative video describing your goods or services. I suggest that you write a short script first, practice it and few times then fire up that camcorder. If you are a little camera shy put together slideshow presentation using Windows Movie Maker or iMovie if you’re using a Mac. The video should not be more than three minutes. Once done submit to sites such as Youtube or Metacafe.

Twitter: go social by opening up an account at Twitter.com. Twitter has over 75 million users. Once you have you account setup, search Twitter for people within your city & state to follow. For starters you want to follow about 30-40 people a day. Also, tweet about articles and products on your website.

If you follow these few tips you should see an increase in your website traffic in a matter of days.
