Free Advert and

advertising is that the former is a little bit slow while the latter yield
quick result.
Let me quickly talk about free advert that will
drive free traffic to your website.
It is possible to get free traffic coming like a
snail to your website or campaign through the following means

and insert your own website link at the end of the post so as to link back to
your website.
When you
write an interesting article, the reader of that blog will like to know what
you are up to by visiting the link of your website. This can earn you a kind of
reasonable traffic depending on how popular your article is.
Forum
marketing is an act of either starting an interesting topic or contribute in an
ongoing topic with lot of viewer and interested readers. You need to make an
informative contribution to catch the attention of the forum members to your
post.
You have the opportunity of putting your link
in your signature so that that interested readers who like to know more about
your post can link back to your website and you can from there get more and
more people visiting your site.
Article

your website link inserted at the end of the article to link back to your
website. You can write and submit articles with your web link to
You can do social marketing by writing and posting
on your wall while you insert your website link in the post and publish it to
your numerous members and get traffic back to your website.
You can easily build facebook fan page and attract
hundred of thousands of followers in few days. You need to build solid
relationship with your followers, write and publish informative contents and
create value for them.
After a while, you make an offer and watch the
response, don’t be surprise that your facebook followers can generate more and
more traffic to your site and you can even use your facebook fan page to sell
your products and services
Press Release
This is a news release sent to a media house such
as newspaper or online news website to give a special information about a
specific matter. You can make use of press release to educate people about your
product and service and give readers or listeners your website address which
they can visit to more about what you are doing.
If you send a press release to a popular media
house, you can get large number of prospects which you can easily turn to
subscribers. This is one of the greatest methods of driving customers to your
business done online or offline.
The drawback of the free method of driving traffic
is that it requires consistent effort and time and the traffic come down to
your site slowly. It requires endurance and persistence.
Now let me tell you the merits of driving free
traffic to your website. Though it may be slow but it brings in new prospects
consistently, just imagine creating value for some member of a forum and at the
end direct them to visit your site for more information, whenever anyone being
an existing or new member of that forum come across your post and they are
impressed with the content, they will like to know more about your content by
visiting your website. That’s how you keep getting fresh traffic to your
website consistently from the previous work you have done.
Another advantage of free traffic is that it cost
you next to nothing, you will not need to spend both arms and leg before you
can get website visitors.
Paid Advert/Traffic
Paid advert will generate fast traffic for you,
there is no doubt about that. You can get fast traffic with from various
sources such as PPC from google, facebook, twitter. Twitter just started paid
advert to every online entrepreneur
The advantage of using paid advert is that it helps
you to quickly measure the performance and effectiveness of your advert
campaign and the response you get will tell whether to continue with the
campaign or pause the advert.
The disadvantage is that it require some form of
learning curve and will cost money before you can run advert on those platform.
Sometime, you might have spent some money to run advert without getting any
positive result which as a result make you lose money which was not like that
in the free traffic method.
In the subsequent post, I will discuss more on how
to drive traffic and the possible ways of turning your prospects to real buyers
that will consistently buy and buy more of your offers now and in the future
