Link Bait

Offering Something for Free

Offering your visitors something for free can also be a great way to bring traffic to your site. You could offer a free ebook, for example. If people can obtain something free, they're more likely to visit your site.

Not only that, but then you can submit your site to the freebie and free stuff directories out there. People seeking freebies will then come across your site and visit.

Your link in the free directories counts as a backlink! If you do end up using this tactic, be sure that your site offers lots of quality content. Your visitors may come for the freebie, but they stay, and return, for the content!
