I was checking out DigitalPoints marketing forum (ya i know it’s strange, DigitalPoint was actually loading for me today…). Anyways, I came across a thread by some guy named dfsweb. He talks about his traffic building mantra. Here’s what he had to say:

Spend some time each day looking for ONE backlink. Yes, just one! Spend time on this to ensure that you can get a backlink from this location. No shortcuts. Register with the site if you have to. Link to them if you have to. Email them if you need to.

All you need to do is ensure that the link is good enough to get you ONE visitor per day from that site and you will be getting 365 unique visitors to your site within 1 year from referral traffic alone. Plus, you will have 365 links pointing to your site which can only be good for your SE rankings.

It is very easy to find such resources. Simply start with high PR directories, then move on to exchanging links with sites in your category. You will soon see that you will get better and better at finding such resources and when you get fast enough, move on to finding TWO resources per day and your traffic will skyrocket before your eyes!

Lately, I’ve been avoiding this. I don’t know why though. I mean how hard is it to find a link a day for your website? Well, I do have like 20 websites so that could be somewhat time consuming. But if I just concentrated on the big websites I have, then surely I can find a free link every day.

I think this is a great method for everyone to use. Just head to all the webmaster forums you know and spend 20 minutes looking for link exchanges or free directories. I’m going to start doing this. It’s time to get back to the basics. So if anyone has any sites related to mine (see my network in the sidebar), let me know and I’d be glad to link exchange or work something out.
