There is one hard and fast rule in creating income for your website: a steady stream of website visitors. If no one goes to your site, it barely runs a chance of creating an income. Many sites have tried and failed in doing so, and this results to the website's failure. It requires money to maintain an income-generating web site; it also takes money to make money.

BUT, it doesn’t take a whole caboodle of cash to create website traffic for your web site.

Have you ever wondered how big hit websites drive traffic to their website? The majority of them spend tons of money to drive traffic to their sites, investing in many marketing strategies and other kinds of promotion schemes and trickery.

You don’t have to do this if you don’t have their assets. There are a lot of other methods to generate low cost website traffic without having to spend what you don’t have or can’t afford. Many people have banked on high cost methods and have ended up losing their shirt over it.

Here I want to show you to you the top five ways to generate low cost website visitors that can help your site a great deal. Even if you only turn a small percentage of visitors into clients, it still works, particularly if you get a high number of website traffic.

1] Exchange Links

This is a sure and proven method. Not often would you see a website where there is no link to another website. Many webmasters are willing to exchange links with one another so that they can create more public awareness of their websites. You’ll soon notice and feel the rapid upsurge of visitors coming to your web site from other sites.

A chief condition in swapping links with other websites is being in the same niche or subject matter as the other web site. They should share a common subject so that there is continuity in the provision of service and information that interests your target traffic.

Exchanging links also boosts your chances of getting a higher ranking in search engine results. It is common knowledge that search engines rank sites high that have inbound and outbound theme-related links. With a higher ranking position in the search engines, you will create more visitors to your website without high costs.

2] Traffic Exchanges

This is like exchanging links but on a different level. This will take a lot more work than exchanging or trading links but can be cheaper because you earn credits.

People look at someone else's website, in exchange for someone viewing yours. You both benefit from each others efforts to generate traffic. The other website's visitors can go to your pages and know more about your website as well as their own. Once again public awareness of your website's existence is boosted.

3] Write and Submit Articles

There are many e-zines and online encyclopedias on the Internet which provide free space for articles to be submitted. If you want to save costs, you can do the articles yourself. Hoiwever, there are many freelance writers who are willing to write for you for a small charge, but to save money, it is better to write the articles yourself.

Write articles that are themed with the subject matter of your web site. Write something that you have expertise on so that when people read it, they can sense your knowledge on the topic and will be excited to go to your website. Write articles that produce advice and guidelines to the subject matter or niche your site has.

Include a resource box at the end of your article that links back to your website. Write a little about yourself and your site. If you provide an information-laden and interesting article, they will go to your website for more.

4] Provide a Newsletter.

This might sound like hard work because of all the articles you will need to write to put together a newsletter but on the contrary, this is not so. There are many writers and sites that are keen to supply free articles as long as they can get their name in your newsletter, because this will also provide free promotion for them as well.

As your newsletter gets passed around, you can enlarge your public awareness and build an opt-in list that will regularly visit your site.

5] Join Online Communities and Forums

This only requires your time and nothing else. You can share your know-how and expertise with many online communities.You get free marketing when you go to forums that have the same subject or niche with your web site.
