Hi All! I am George Pierce. This post is about a secret weapon you can use for free traffic when all else fails. My secret weapon is a form of traffic siphoning. This is NOT the recommended way to generate free traffic because your audience is not 'targeted', HOWEVER, it WILL generate traffic! And when it comes to search engines, traffic begets traffic. The idea is to use this strategy to prime the traffic pump, in other words, you can use this method to get traffic flowing.
In my case, I already had a few years of experience and success with generating free traffic, and then I created a site that the search engines seemed to hate. Every traffic trick I tried failed. After the site was a month old, traffic was but a trickle, after two months, still a trickle, and after three months, I was running out of ideas. In desperation, I tried traffic siphoning. It worked! And it should work for you.
HOW?
Find something that is getting good search, and create content such as videos, posts, articles, and web pages that are based on keywords about it, in order to draw or siphon traffic. Again, the quality of traffic is not the best, but you will get traffic, and when search engines see traffic, they send MORE.
Back To The Future!??
For example, today (10-21-24) is Back To The Future Day.
Acccording to Ubersuggest, a free extension, the amount of search (see above) is superb. FYI, the lower the SD, which is the free traffic difficulty, the better. Creating content about "Back To The Future Broadway" has an SD of 5! This means there is virtually NO competition, yet the search is excellent. According to Neil Patel, creator of Ubersuggest, an SD of 5 means that your chances of free traffic success are 95%! The SD numbers with the green are almost guaranteed to generate traffic, yellow is good, and red has high competition, so chances are less.
BONUS TIP!
Use 'exact match' when including your keyword phrases in your content.
Examples of exact match are:
Who played "Biff On Back To The Future"? (Tom Wilson)
What does the nickname "Biff On Back To The Future" stand for? (Buford)
Thank you for reading.
Much success,

Excellent information as always George. I forgot about this strategy, so thank you for the reminder. I did this when I first got started online. It works very well when you follow the guidelines you have shared.
Allow me to add that this method should not be used as 'bait and switch'; instead, it should provide content with value and be used to turn on the traffic faucet. Thank you, Terri.
Exactly George. Valuable content is the focus and goal always for your readers.
