Free Landing Page Traffic

Free Landing Page Traffic

Everyone with a website wants to know, “How do I get more traffic?” There are really only two answers to this question: either work for it or pay for it.

Working for your traffic includes posting classified ads on Craigslist and other free classified advertising venues, as well as updating these ads on a regular basis. Craigslist ads bring in a substantial number of visitors to our landing pages without a penny spent, other than the time to post the ads.

In a quick review of the fifteen possible ads that could be posted on Craigslist, there are only four ads currently posted. Each business is allowed to post three ads at a time. When ads are posted, there is an expiration date provided. It is a good idea to note the expiration date and then begin a routine of having a lab tech or someone else do this routine repost of your ads.

Our tracking of landing page traffic demonstrates that these ads are worth every minute of the time allocated towards keeping them current. In fact, there are very few things that you can do which is a better use of time, and if time is being spent to post one ad, you might as well post three at a time.

Coupons are another free way to increase traffic to your site. Coupons have a two-fold benefit. They will grab the attention of future customers, as well as increase site ranking in organic search, because search engine algorithms weight the use of a coupon in determining ranking.
