Free Traffic Generator
One of the biggest challenges for any internet marketer is getting traffic. There are two ways of getting it: the Paid way or the Free way… and who doesn’t like the latter?
In this guide, I will share with you a simple method that is based on a quick and easy ‘Copy & Paste’ action. But first, you need to make sure that you’ve prepared a good and useful piece of content (relevant to your niche) that you can start using for this method. Within your content, you can also embed relevant links to your blog, store, product or affiliate links.
With your content, you will copy and paste it onto 5 FREE websites (with high authority and monthly visits) and start pulling traffic to your online properties or where you want to drive them to.
Ok… let’s start with tip number 1:
Tip #1: Pin your eyes on Pinterest
Though it may not be as popular as Facebook or Instagram, don’t discount the power of Pinterest as it is one of the biggest search networks around.
Here are some interesting facts that shouldn’t be overlooked – Pinterest carried out a survey and found that users said that..
- 72% they were inspired to buy something, even though they were not planning to buy anything
- 70% they discovered new products using Pinterest
- 90% Pinterest helped them make final decision to buy
- 78% Pinterest offer useful content
- 66% they buy after seeing pins
- 59% they find information on products they are interested in
Why Pinterest?
High Monthly Views:
It is a large social search platform with over 1.3 billion views a month and we certainly cannot miss this opportunity to generate backlinks to our online properties from this authority site.
Converts More Browsers Into Buyers:
Pinterest has a higher conversion rate than other social media. It also takes lesser steps (and faster) for a viewer to discover a product and end up buying it.
Addictively-high User Engagement:
This is due to the fact that Pinterest is based on images and visuals – we know that it is easier to scan images than having to read texts on tweets.
Pins Get You More Inbound Links:
Unlike Facebook (they hate users from being taken away from their platform), Pinterest offers the option for you to add a URL link in your posts. A link can be included for each pin/image – and users tend to pin or re-pin interesting images, which will then drive more valuable inbound links to your blog, store or affiliate links.
High Connectivity – Pinterest Integrates With Your Website, Twitter and FB Profile:
When you link your account to Facebook, it can automatically post new pins on your Facebook feeds. And this will lead to more eyeballs to your pins (and links).
Pinterest - What You Need To Do
- Create your account

Tip #2: Gettin' On LinkedIn
Why LinkedIn?
It is the best B2B network with over 1.1 billion monthly visits. Although this platform is mainly used by professionals – we must remember that individually, they are like us – we all have our personal wants, needs and likes. As it is a strong-authority site, getting links back from this platform will boost our website backlink score.
LinkedIn - What You Need To Do
- Create your account
- Write a good profile (check your spelling)
- Copy & Paste your content in ‘Write an Article’ section
- Post actionable content – include URLs
- Join relevant groups (based on your target audience)
- Create a new group

Tip #3: The Power of Quora
Why Quora?
Quora is a Q&A platform and has a very large community with over 535 million visits a month – and this is no chump change. If we can get just a tiny wee bit of that traffic to our sites for free, that would be fantastic. Plus being a high-authority site, any backlinks coming from Quora will also boost our backlink score.
Quora - What You Need To Do
- Create your Account
- Set up your Profile and include all the necessary links
- Create new ‘Spaces’
- This becomes a free minisite for you
- Copy & Paste your content in ‘Write an Article’ section
- Invite Followers & Share your Space on Feed
Quora - Dos & Don'ts
- Firstly, we must always remember not to spam on Quora (or any other platforms) with our product links lest we’d be banned.
- Second, keep a mindset of giving more than we take – we need to build trust by offering helpful tips and information to other users.
- Be a regular contributor on Quora for a couple of weeks before including 1 link after every 5 contributions you make.
Tip #4: Be Seen On Medium.com
Why Medium.com?
Medium.com has over 213 million monthly visits, and again, if we could drive even a tiny number of traffic from there will be great. It is also a platform where you can create your own minisite space.
Medium.com - What You Need To Do
- Create your Account
- Set up your Profile and include all the necessary links
- Copy & Paste your content in ‘Write A Story’
Tip #5: Max It With Mix.com
Why Mix.com?
Though Mix.com has a smaller monthly visitors of 1.4 million monthly visits, it is still no chump change. Like Medium.com, it is another great platform where you can create your own minisite space.
Medium.com - What You Need To Do
- Create your Account
- Set up your Profile and include all the necessary links
- Copy & Paste your content in ‘Add A Post To Mix’
