There are innumerable ways to get free hits to your website, but all of them deliver the kind of quality traffic you need to profit.  If your focus is on quantity instead of quality, I would recommend of automatic traffic exchanges, link swaps, or pop and pop under traffic.  These methods will deliver many free hits to your web site.  However, few if any of these hits could possibly translate into sales for signups.

The best way to get free hits your website is the method which provides targeted traffic.  Traffic to your web site is described as targeted if the people visiting are already interested in the topic of your site.  In order to get targeted traffic, you must entice people to visit your site by giving them targeted information.  The most effective method of of the giving targeted information and encouraging website click throughs is article marketing.

Article marketing is the best way to get free hits to your web site because the articles themselves, if written correctly, attract the type of customers or clients that will use your services or by your products.  Article marketing and distribution is always free.  With a bit of practice, and that correct tools, it is also a quick way of getting free hits to your website.

To begin getting three hits to your web site were logged with article marketing, you must first find the key words or key word phrases that people will search for.  These keywords are simply the terms that people input into the search engines to find what they need.  There are various tools on the Internet that can tell you the most popular keywords that pertain to your topic.

Not only will these tools tell you how many people search for each term, they can also tell you how many other results are on the major search engines.  Ideally, you want to find a key word phrase that has a high number of searches and a low number of competing results.  After you find these key word phrases you must write articles that use them.

Distributing these search engine optimized articles to the top article directories, such as ezine articles and search warp, is simply a matter of copying and pasting and adding an author's biography with a link to your web site at the end.  You will get free hits to your web site when interested people search for the key word phrases you used and subsequently go to your article.  Repeat this process and your targeted traffic numbers will explode.
