There are great many SEO tips to get traffic to your domain, and one of the popular ones is to 'buy targeted traffic'. Well, today I want to tell you that:

Don't buy targeted traffic!

There are quite a number of reasons, being:

1. Targeted traffic are expensive at times
2. Targeted traffic are often scams and is not worth your money, but if it isn't,
3. Traffic bought only comes to your site a few times, and never again
4. Traffic bought will not earn you money as there is no intention for them to buy anything from you

The 'buy targeted traffic' scam is often targeted on newbies who are new to the SEO world. These newbies often turn to this easy way when their web domain is receiving little to no traffic at all, not knowing that this will not do them any good. There are several ways to get real traffic from the web, and here are some of them:

1. Writing free articles
To get traffic to your domain, it is essential that you leave your links around the web so that people can find you. One of the methods is writing free articles. You can leave a link to your domain on all the articles you post on article websites, and anyone who wish to reproduce these articles will need to put this link on their domain. Some of the article websites are ezinearticles.com, goariticles.com, blogcarnival.com and articlealley.com.

2. Submit you domain URL to social bookmarking websites
Another great way to leave your link all over the web. Submit your domain URL to major social bookmarking websites like digg, de.li.cious or stumbleupon and hope for some traffic to come. You can also submit your URL every time to update your content but this can be difficult to do since there are so many social bookmarking websites out there. What you can do is to install this great onlywire button. Follow instruction and bookmark to your success.

3. Participate in online communities
Spend some time to visit forum and blogs related to your niche. For forums, leave your domain URL in your signature box and for blogs, just leave your URL every time you write a comment.
