Forums are still useful for certain niches. I've found that detailed answers get much better responses than one-line comments with a website link attached.

One strategy I like is creating comparison articles. People searching for “A vs B” or “best A for beginners” are often already interested in buying, so the traffic can be more targeted.

Consistency matters more than people think. Posting one great article every week for six months can be more effective than publishing 30 articles in one weekend and then disappearing.

I’d start with keyword research and find questions that smaller websites can realistically rank for. Going after huge keywords immediately can waste a lot of time.

For me, Pinterest is underrated. If your website has good visual content, creating useful pins regularly can bring traffic for months.

Pinterest is a good option, especially for websites with useful images and visual content.

Short-form videos are probably one of the easiest free traffic methods right now. You can make simple videos around common problems in your niche and direct interested people to your website.

Short videos are a good way to get free traffic. Simple tips can also attract viewers.

My strategy would be to build traffic instead of chasing quick spikes. I'd create useful SEO content, make short videos from the same material, participate in relevant communities and collect emails from interested visitors. It takes longer, but you're building an audience that can continue bringing value over time.

That's a smart idea. One blog post can be used to create content for many platforms.

Don't try ten traffic methods at once. Pick one or two channels and stay consistent for a few months. I made the mistake of jumping between SEO, social media, Pinterest and forums and barely gave anything enough time to work.

I agree. YouTube videos can bring visitors for months if they answer useful questions.

Facebook groups can work depending on the niche. The important thing is to become useful in the group instead of constantly promoting your affiliate link.

I agree. Helping people in Facebook groups is better than posting affiliate links everywhere.

Search engines are changing quickly, so I wouldn't depend entirely on Google. Building traffic from YouTube, email, communities and social platforms gives you a little more protection.

I agree. Using different traffic sources is safer than depending only on Google.

SEO, Pinterest, YouTube Shorts, and Reddit are some good options for free traffic. I'd focus on one or two platforms first instead of trying everything together.
