5 Easy Ways of Automating Your Traffic
1. Hire ghost writers or guest bloggers to consistently post articles on article directories to generate a steady flow of organic traffic to your website.
2. Hire an SEO expert. Getting an SEO team to create highly SEO targeted web content for your website can help you generate lots of organic traffic and save you tons of time and money.
3. Pay for advertising. Try advertising on platforms such as Facebook Advertising, Google Adwords, or my personal favorite 7search.com. You’ll soon see a steady flow of traffic come in. Remember to test and optimize your ad campaign or you’ll be leaving tons of money on the table.
4. Create viral content and let it spread on its own. Viral content has the ability to grow traffic for you without doing anything as long as it hits a critical mass of viewers. Viral content can be an article, a picture, or a video, but it must be very funny, controversial or information so that people feel an urge to blog about it, to tell their friends about it and so on.
5. Hire a virtual assistant. Let them focus on the traffic generation aspects while you focus on growing your business and other money producing activities for your business. This is probably your best method to fully leverage your time and money to drive traffic.

Here’s Some Free Traffic Methods You Can Apply Immediately
1. Article marketing. It’s not as effective as it once was, but it still will help drive traffic to your website. Just make sure that you are using quality article directories and submit your article to draw visitors looking for specific information on your niche to your website. Quality article directories rank highly in search engines so if your articles are highly targeted to your niche, you’ll be able to draw tons of traffic fast.
2. Start a blog. I’m amazed at how many homebased business and brick and mortar business people still don’t get this. Companies replicated sites are a joke and you’ll never attract prospects to you if you rely on using it to draw attention. You have no way to separate yourself from the thousands of other site exactly like it and you are only building your companies web presence and NOT yours. Your blog is your marketing hub and your entire business starts there. Plus a blog is favored highly by search engines and can attract many visitors to your website if you fill it up with great content.
3. Search engine optimization. Optimize your website with high search volume key phrases to draw organic traffic to your website. Make sure you use the Google Keyword Tool to determine what keywords or keyword phrases yields the most traffic.
4. Guest post for other people’s blogs. What you can do is find blog in other similar niches and write a guest post so that you can tap into their traffic for your website.
5. Social Media Marketing. Share and syndicate your content on Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube. All of these platforms have a huge source of traffic and you can attract a high volume of prospects to your website by sharing your content and encouraging others to share your stuff as well. This is currently the number one thing Google takes into consideration when ranking your site. Why? Because if enough people are talking about it and sharing with one another then Google sees this as being important.
In short, the best way to draw free traffic is pick one technique, focus on it until you get tons of traffic from it and then move on to the next one. These free strategies are for the beginning online marketers who do not have an advertising budget. The downside of these methods is the time consumed to gain the same exposure that you would get with paid advertising.
