When you leave a valuable comment, people take notice including influencers in your industry and possibly the owner of the site, then you could link to your site, even though the links are nofollow, it’s still a link for people to click and you also build a reputation for yourself in the industry.

I advise linking to a post on your site that relates to the topic you are commenting on.

7. Guest Blogging

This is also a popular free traffic source, But how does it help? First of all, post a nice piece that can add real value to the site or blog you are trying to contribute to.

Then make sure you have a well written Bio as this will motivate users to click through to your site.

8. Forum Posting

This Works more like Guest posting, most forums allow registered users to create new threads/posts, you can also use this to your advantage but first, you have to submit relevant and informative contents to the forum for the moderators to approve, then you could link to your site from the bio section.

You could also link through a comment on forums too just like I said earlier under option 6.

The Above listed options are the top 8 on my list for today though there are other free traffic sources, the above-listed options have been working for me for as long as I can remember.

However, paid traffic is also a good source of organic traffic too.
