The best method to generate free traffic is to get your website ranked high on the SERP of major search engines, Google, Yahoo and MSN. How do you do that?

By building quality one way back links to your website. There are many methods to build quality back links to your webpages.

There are many link exchanges that can be used to build reciprocal links. Dont use them. Try to avoid them. Reciprocal links dont have much value with Google. Only one way backlinks count with Google.

Some webmasters use social bookmarking software that can bookmark their webpages on mixx, digg, propeller, spurl etc. These social bookmarking sites have high Page Rank (PR) of 6, 7 and 8, so these backlinks may have some value with the search engines.

The only problem with these bookmarking backlinks is that it falls into the area of black hat SEO. Try to avoid it. Your site may get banned on Google and other search engines if they find your site getting many backlinks from the same bookmarking sites.

The best method to build backlinks is to write articles. Article marketing has been the consistent and time tested method used by SEO experts to build one way quality back links to their sites.

When you write an article, you provide two or three backlinks to your webpages from the resource box. The anchor text of that back link is very important in SEO.

Use keywords that have consistent and long lasting traffic as anchor text for building back links. Use wrong keywords and all your effort of months will go wasted. You need to find golden keywords that have traffic and that convert. Search engines use these keywords in the anchor text in ranking.

Another important SEO fact even not known to many gurus is that Google considers a domain ending with a forward slash and without a forward slash as two separate domains.

So decide from the start, whether you want your domain to end with a forward slash or not and than use that convention consistently in link building.

Try to avoid issues of duplicate content. Have you taken a look at the Free Traffic System? No, then you should. It is a free system that can help you a lot in getting quality back links to your site.
