You know, everyone pretty much uses many of the same methods for trying to generate traffic to the (probable) several sites, most likely WordPress blogs that they have set up. I guess people are pretty easy to figure out, everyone is doing whatever is hot at the time. Pretty soon, after the idea has been beat to death, it goes away and someone else is on top of the heap making money from all the wanna-bes doing the same thing everyone else is.

I guess the last “hot tip” for generating some traffic was social bookmarking. The last site that I used social bookmarking heavily on, really never beneifted at all from it. I did finally make some money with it, but social bookmarking didn’t help much.

Article marketing has also been a good way to get some (usually) quality backlinks. That’s assuming of course, that most of the individuals that grab your articles from EzineArticles, GoArticles or where ever else you publish them to, leaves the bio box information in tact. You know a lot of them don’t though. I have had pretty decent luck with articles overall.

Well, I just found out about a new site (new to me anyway) that is looking very good. It’s named Free Traffic System (http://FreeTrafficSystem.com), and, as it’s name implies, it is totally free. At first it may look like just another article directory, but there’s a little different twist – actually a couple of differences. For one, by using placeholder tokens, you can take one article, and by spinning it on the FTS site you can come up with several different versions, with different titles, body content, URLs, and anchor text, that will pass for original content.

When you publish your article, it will be sent to up to thirty different (relative) blogs that you select. What else is really cool is that the articles are only sent out at the rate of several per day. Google “knows” something is up when a new site that has zero backlinks, all of a sudden, in an hour, gets two hundred links. It’s just not natural – well, actually I guess it is because it’s now natural for everyone to do the same thing and try to cheat to get the links.

Anyway, if you haven’t heard of Free TRaffic system, you have now. Oh, I almost forgot – another cool thing about FTS is they have an affiliate program. No, you don’t get money, but you get extra backlinks from your article submissions, and if you add your WordPress blog as a blog to submit articles to, you get an extra 7% more in backlinks, and the unique content for your blog of course.

Overall, it sounds like a very good system. I’m about to find out, I’m getting ready to submit my first article and add a blog to receive articles also…we’ll see how it works.
