Hi,
I am looking for methods of getting at least 50+ people to my website everyday.

I am looking for a method that is free or relatively cheap and quick to implement.

Thank you

Hi Srama3,

You are looking for 50+ visitors per day, but what kind of visitors? There's a very important distinction between visitors and targeted, interested visitors.

The usual quick and cheap methods are traffic exchanges. Those are places where you can pick up 50+ visitors per day pretty easily, but they are almost always people who are not at all interested in what your site is about and only stay there for a required 15 seconds. That's actually worse than useless.

I suspect you want 50+ visitors who are looking for whatever it is your site is about.

The number one best way to get that kind of targeted traffic is to do some keyword research and find out what phrases searchers are using to find information about your particular topic. Then write good quality content on those phrases.

No, it isn't necessarily quick and easy, but it is the most effective in the long term.

You can do a few free and quick things that will help a bit, like provide good quality answers to questions at Yahoo Answers and leave a link to your site in the source box. I'd only suggest doing a few of those per day, because it is easy to get your account banned if you seem to be "spamming."

You can write articles relating to your site topic and submit them to places like ezinearticles, etc. Good articles will generate a few extra visitors per day (more, depending on the niche).

Well, those are a couple of ideas to get you started. "Free, cheap, and quick" are words that don't really go together well with building an online income.

Usually "free and cheap" pair up better with "slow and long haul."

Blessings,
Angie

If you're only looking for cheap, quick traffic to your site than traffic exchanges will accomplish both. However, as Happywife stated, cheap and quick usually don't add up to quality. In order to build a successful business it takes time and effort.

Hello srama3,
It is nice to meet you.

I suggest going to Social Media Daily and download the free report.
I am not an affiliate in any way, but truly feel this is an awesome free resource.

I have posted this in the Wealthy Affiliate forum, and everyone really likes it.

Basically, it offers ways to build back links, and you can work on this a little at a time, which is always the better way to go.

I hope this helps,
Victoria

P.S. Write articles, using EZine's etc rank for quality links too.
I also use Hub Pages, US Free Ads, Go Articles to name a few.
Just write on topic and link to your site.
Always read the terms, especially with Hub Pages and EZine.

I do article marketing mostly and Yahoo Answers sometimes. If they trust your answer they will trust your link.

Hello srama3

I think that Angie (happywife) hit the nail on the head!

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the key.

Research key phrases related to your site. Optimize your site for those keyword phrases. Put in the time and effort to get organic traffic from the search engines.

SEO can be complicated, but basic strategies are fairly easy to get a handle on. There's tons of sites on the net with SEO strategy info and probably quite a few members of the forum with SEO info sites.

Doing your own SEO is free and the most effective long term site traffic generator.
