There is one hard and fast rule in generating
income for your website: A steady flow of website
traffic. If no one goes to your site, it hardly
bares a chance of generating an income. Many
sites have tried and failed in doing so, and
these results to the sites demise. It takes money
to maintain an income generating site; it also
takes money to make money.

BUT, it doesn’t take a whole caboodle of cash to
generate website traffic for your site.

Ever wonder how does big hit sites drive traffic
top their site? Most of them are spending tons of
money to drive the traffic to their sites,
investing in many advertising campaigns and
different forms of marketing schemes and
gimmickries. This is all worthwhile because,
well, they are what they are now, high earning,
big hitting websites. 

You don’t have to do this if you don’t really
have their resources. There are many ways to
generate low cost website traffic without having
to spend what you don’t have or can’t afford.
Many people have banked on high cost methods and
have ended up losing their shirt over it. 

Here I present to you the Top five ways to
generate low cost website traffic that could help
your site a whole lot. Even if you only get a
small percentage of successful visitors in to
client ratio it still works especially if you get
a high number of website traffic. 

Exchange Links

This is a sure and proven method. Rarely would
you see a site where there is no link to another
site. Many webmasters are willing to exchange
links with one another so that they could produce
more public awareness about their sites. You’ll
soon see and feel the sudden upsurge of the
traffic coming in to your site from other sites.

A major prerequisite in exchanging links with
other sites is having the same niche or content
as the other site. They should share a common
subject so that there is continuity in the
providing of service and information to what
interests your target traffic. 

Exchanging links also boosts your chances of
getting a high ranking in search engine results.
It is common knowledge that search engines ranks
high sites that have inbound and outbound
theme-related links. With a good ranking position
in the search engines, you will generate more
traffic in your website without the high costs. 

Traffic Exchange

This is like exchanging links but on a different
higher level. This may cost a bit more than
exchanging or trading links but could be made
cheaper because you get to earn credits. You can
use those credits when viewing others traffic,
while you earn credits when someone views yours.

Traffic exchange services are the viewing of
another’s site or page. This is done vice versa
where a site can use your sites contents and so
can you to his or her site. You both benefit from
each others efforts to generate traffic. The
other sites visitors can go to your pages and
know more about your site as well as theirs. Once
again the public awareness of your sites
existence is boosted. 

Write and Submit Articles (My favorite)

There are many e-zines and online encyclopedias
in the internet which provides free space for
articles to be submitted. If you want to save
costs, you can do the articles yourself. There
are many freelance writers who are willing to
write for you for a small fee, but to save money,
it is wise to do those articles yourself.

Write articles that are themed along with the
niche of your site. Write something that you have
expertise on so that when they read it, they can
feel your knowledge about the subject and will be
eager to go to your site. Write articles that
produce tips and guidelines to the subject or
niche your site has. 

Include a resource box at the end of your article
that can link them to your site. Write a little
about yourself and your site. If you provide a
light, information-laden and interesting article,
they will go to your site for more. 

Make a Newsletter. (Equal Favorite)

This may sound like hard work because of all the
articles you may need to use to build a
newsletter but on the contrary, this is not so.
There are many writers and sites that are willing
to provide free articles as long as they can get
their name in on your newsletter. This will also
provide free advertising for them as well.

As your newsletter gets pass around, you can
widen your public awareness and build an opt-in
list that can regularly visit your site.

Join Online Communities and Forums

This only requires your time and nothing else.
You can share your knowledge and expertise with
many online communities as well as your website.
You can get free advertising when you go to
forums that have the same subject or niche with
your site.

Share your two cents and let them see how
knowledgeable you are with the subject. As you
build your reputation, you also build the
reputation of your site, making it a reputable
and honest business that could be frequented and
trusted by many people. 

Take care and have a wonderful weekend.

Warmly.
