There are powerful methods to generate quality long-term traffic by simply helping others and in a way helping your site get exposures. This is often considered as a technique which will do good both for your soul & your bank account. By using blogs, forums, and Google groups, there is no doubt you will drive traffic to your site without having to spend a dime for site promotions. Read on and learn more about these methods.

By setting up an effective link building campaign, you will be able to obtain backlinks from a wide variety of highly ranked and relevant sites. A great way to build backlinks is through blog commenting. Blog commenting is not only good to drive traffic; it is also good to establish a name. What you need is to find blogs that allow do-follow comments in your niche. You are given the chance to leave insightful and relevant comments on their blogs, and getting some useful links back to your site. You can download a free extension like nodofollow if you are using Firefox, this way you can easily check if a blog is dofollow. You can also do a Google search for do-follow blog and use them to find blogs in your niche where you can comment on. Don't spam your comments so that they will get approval from the blog owner. Commenting regularly on relevant blogs will let other people know and recognize your blog as well as trusting your information. Remember to leave useful comments and comments that will generate response and reaction from other bloggers. Another great way to get backlinks and get traffic is through forum posting. Forums and forum posting is proven to work whatever your site is all about. Successful Internet marketers used this technique to gain exposure to their sales page, squeeze page, landing page, and money sites. The goal of every forum post is to get as many people who will subscribe to your lists.

Google Groups, on the other hand, is Google's free groups and mailing list service that can aid you in collecting information for search engine optimization such as topics for articles, topics and chapter themes for e-Books and keywords. It is a way of searching for and bringing people of the same interests together. So if you have a website that is selling collector's item then joining and creating groups about collectible is a great idea. Using Google Groups, you can find groups related to the interests of your business and give you the chance to join in threaded conversations. The idea is to link these to your site. You can also search for groups of people who are just engaged in different hobbies and then create a viral informational product to be distributed for free. Or another thing is to create a sense of community by asking people who visit your site to join your group. Asking people from other groups to join yours using online invitation is a way to increase your customer base. Besides posting to the group, users can also post to group by sending out an email to groups' email address.

If you prefer not to spend money, you can go about searching for online marketers who have already established a presence. This doesn't mean hunting for the super successful marketers but those who hangout at message boards and forums. Some of these people have put up a decent website; they even have a newsletter perhaps. Since they have been around erstwhile, they are quite familiar with blogs, forums, and Google groups then you can join their list and ask for some invaluable guidance.
