Anyone that is looking to garner more traffic to your website can greatly benefit by using free traffic. We all can agree that the best things in life are free and free traffic to your website is no different. No matter where you are located you can use these methods to drive even more traffic to your site or sites.

1) Craigslist – Craigslist is still one of the most popular sites online, with an Alexa ranking of 35 you can get tons of targeted local traffic to your site by using their strength to make you stand out. You can geo-target your traffic by simply placing a “tiny classified ad” and make millions of dollars. No I am just kidding, some of you may remember the infomercials that  made those claims and we all fell for them. All you have to do is simply register for an account to make your ad visible for 45 days and you are able to use html in your ad for maximum benefit.

2)Local.com is a great way to get some clicks from local traffic. Having an Alexa ranking of 1,613 this vertical directory can be a powerful force in your free traffic arsenal. Not only is it free, but you can also get a premium version for a small fee and receive even more traffic using the power that is hidden in this vertical directory.

3)Potential customers from your area visit Yahoo Local every day. Why not use this former #1 search engine to help increase your traffic. There  is no reason why you can not pick up tons of free traffic daily from Yahoo. You can display your address, phone number, and web site URL.  Be sure to put your business in up to 5 categories and list your products, services, brands, and more. The shear power of a #4 Alexa ranking can be sure to overwhelm most competitors.

4) Yellow Pages – The online version of the popular phone directory. The big print edition is no where as popular as it was years ago, but the online version has some kick to it.When people search for a business type – chances are the results from this site come up first – so make sure you’re listed. A basic listing is free

I hope these methods are as successful for you as they are for me. The least you can do is try them, since they are free you can’t go wrong can you?
