Hi,Daylinne, I am a student of Alex Jeffreys as well.I guess all these ways to bring traffic are written already on every corner and guess very soon kids will study it in the kindergarten.LOL
The real gold is hidden behind the courtain and it is called “How to do it the RIGHT WAY”.
You can have 30K of followers on Twitter and no sales from this source.You can submit 100 of articles to different directories and have no sales.You can buy PPC traffic and loose money without and sales at all.
To become a success we need the information how to do all of these Traffic Genrating Techniques, how to create a profit LINKING STRATEGY, how to create a LNADING PAGE which will convert well.I was submitting my blogs to hundreds of SB sites and had 2 sales only.
I made pinging every time, I had RSS oon every blog and nothing is working if you do not know how to to this PROPERLY.
There are no stupid people online who will easy open their wallet and give you money.This is like machine and if one small detail is not set up properly all this device becomes a big mount of steel parts, pipes, pumps, motors, fans, etc.
Hi Daylynne
Great information shared there.
Remember you can automate the process of aticle marketing, Rss feeds, Social book marketing with software which saves you hours if you had to do it manually.
Take Care !!

Hi Daylynne,
Thanks for the great list. There really are so many ways to build traffic. I need to get started on this. I wanted to get some content on my blog before diving into buidling traffic. I think it’s time I start running down this list. I like the picture you added, too.
Thanks, Heidi
Hello Daylynne
Thanks for providing a list of so many ways to get traffic to my blog. It will take me some time to go to all the sites on the list.
You have given me an idea to incoporate in to my blog at some stage.
Providing a a list like this is bound to have people coming back to your site to refer to the list.
You’ll soon be the Queen of Karma with all this good stuff you are giving away.
Regards
David
Daylynne,
Holy Smokes… What on earth happened. Did you pop a few energy drinks into your blog.
This is amazing. And like usual, your content is always to crisp, clean and fun to read.
Be back soon.
Cheers,
Rob
An excellent post – Thanks for the list of the different areas to create traffic to the business.
Hey Daylynne,
I was wondering if those cars registered for ‘Cash for Cluckers’ in America ?
Without traffic, you have nothing.
I just thought I would stop by and look at your site.
Good solid information,
talk soon
to your success,
Rich Cardarelli
Daylynne,
Thanks for the list. I like the way you are using pictures in each post, livens the blog up. I have posted a couple videos on my site, but I am going to look into using pictures on my regular posts.
I get my pictures at http://www.sxc.hu they have a lot of free graphics, but they have to be resized. I use gimp at http://www.gimp.org which is a free photo editing software similar to photoshop.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Daylynne,
A short but useful list of traffic methods. But could you explain how you use ‘expired domains’ to get free traffic and what exactly is ‘bum marketing’ and how do you use this method?
Thanks
John
Hey Daylynne,
Super list of free traffic methods there, I’ve yet to try most of those.
Ahh, if only there were more hours in a day.
Would be great if you could pop over to my blog sometime, I would love to hear your feddback on my posts and writing style, as I know you are a pretty good writer yourself.
Paul.
Hi darlynee,
Great list, have you tried them all yet ???. I’m experimenting with video right, in fact i just posted my welcome video to my blog, scary stuff !!. I had the pleasure of meeting “miilion dollar mike” at an event in Vegas back in June… boy.. that man knows his copy writing.
Loving your blog… i’ll be back to see how thing sare coming along.
Richard
Hi Daylynne,
There should be loads of potential in this list – thanks; and thanks to Mike.
But I can’t figure out ‘Expired Domains’ ? Sounds interesting ?
Talk soon,
Andrew.
Thanks Everyone for your comments on this post!
Your comments are really important and carefully read and appreciated.
Several asked about the “Expired Domains,” don’t feel stupid not knowing that one,
its one of those that the “Big-Guys” have kept secret for a long time. Here’s how it
works: Go to one of the sites that sell domain names; there is usually a section of
expired domains for sale. You pick a domain that had a lot of traffic, and is newly expired.
Naturally, you try for a name that would be suitable for your site. Buy that domain, and
use a forward (re-direct) to your site.
You pick up some of the traffic that will still be going to that name. Good names will have
hundred’s of thousands of hits on them. Is this a little under-handed? Well, maybe just a little
Black hat. (lol) Some of them are very cheap, and others expensive.
And yes, I know that all the traffic in the world is useless unless where the traffic is being
directed to is worth while. That part of the post was supposed to be “understood”
Be sure to come back next week, I’m going to be giving away some new stuff…
Daylynne
Iu follow many of these tactics and believe they are important to generate free website traffic. I also believe good content and regular posts are also very important.
Hi Kirk,
Thanks for your comment. Yes, you are very right about content and regular
posts on Blogs. (Yikes, mine hasn’t had enough lately, LOL). Google loves content,
and rewards you accordingly.
I hope you found some things worth while on the Free Traffic list. Strangely enough,
that’s been very popular even though I didn’t put in how each of them work. Lots of
people like to use the list as a check list while they are planning traffic.
Anything else you’d like to see on here? I’m like Burger King, I let you have it your way… hahaha
Daylynne
Thanks Daylynne for the sharing. Have found some new methods like expired domain and bum marketing. Will try out other methods too.
Regards
Kenny
Hi Kenny…
Thanks for your comments — and for a few more ways to add
to the list. I have a feeling that there are many other ways that can be
added too. And as the net moves so fast, this is surely going to be part
of it.
At the present it looks like Facebook is trying to out-do Google, so there’s
another way. Lots of great things happening. Watch for the new stuff coming
up on my blog too… I’m trying to keep up.. but getting a little tired of running….lol
Daylynne
Hi- Daylynne
Thanks for the Information. I have heard of some of them but will try and make use some of the others as well.
Wow great list I use some of them but will add more. What is burn marketing never heard of that
Dorothy
HI Dorothy—
Glad you could use some of these tips, and hope it helps a lot.
LOL– its not burn marketing — its BUM marketing… I know they look alike
in some print.
BUM marketing is sort of what it sounds like; like a BUM wouldn’t (or couldn’t) spend any
money, its rather marketing on a shoe string. Not putting out money to achieve something
that you can get either free or with a very small outlay.
Watch for my next post on this same subject later this week… on bonuses.
thanks so much for your comment.
Daylynne
The traffic list has refreshed memory for some
forgotten web visitors generating methods like
buying and using expired domains.
Thank you.
Ed of Super Site Flip
HI Ed..
thanks for your comment… yup next to list building, setting
up your website to be compatible to traffic is the most important
part of marketing. It is a subject often ignored by most people.
Glad you found that tidbit that helped you on my site.
My partner, Chris Jenkins has written perhaps one of the best books
out on Massive Traffic Profit System. I’m sure it would help you a
lot. It is currently available on our Giveaway event announced on this
blog.
Thanks
Daylynne
Wow what a list i will be sure to add some of these to my post….thanks the blog looks great by the way
