Attracting a swarm of free traffic is not easy, if it were I wouldn't be writing this article. It's something most marketers struggle with. Anyone can attract 20 to 30 visitors every day in just a few weeks, but getting beyond a hundred is often a challenge!

So what do you need to do to explode your traffic?

Ok this is going to sound contradictory, but I suggest you invest money in driving free traffic. Spending money on free traffic sounds crazy, but stay with me on this!

There is a difference between "spending" and "investing". I advocate investing money to establish long term free traffic streams. But invest where?

In recent months I've changed my strategy completely. Previously I was trying to do everything myself and as a result I was getting nowhere fast. Now I'm investing cash and leveraging the time and skills of others, and it's paying off. I'm now getting hundreds of free visitors every day to my main site, and it's growing by the day!

So what am I investing in?

- Professional article distribution services that send my articles to hundreds of directories and ezines.

- Professional writers for article creation

- Blog networks to provide one way links and targeted visitors

- PLR & Resell Rights products

These services are providing me with tons of content linking to my web pages, links that are bringing me ranking juice and search engine traffic.

In terms of the long term traffic being generated, the costs of these services are cheap, even though at first glance they may seem expensive. Like any business, online or offline, you have to invest upfront to achieve big long term rewards! This is where most marketers go wrong, they fail to invest.

Now to get the most from your traffic, you need to direct it into your viral marketing process. This is another area where most people fail in. Turning your visitors into "viral" marketers, who promote your business for you is crucial.

You have to find as many ways as possible to get others to promote your business. Sign them up as affiliates, get them to distribute your giveaway products or to display your links or banners on their sites. You need to engage as many of your visitors as possible in these activities on your behalf!

In summary, outsource your basic traffic generation tasks and concentrate on implementing viral marketing tactics on your sites to explode your traffic quickly!
