Free Traffic System – Worth the Hype?

What’s the story behind the link building Free Traffic System

If you run any niche websites or blogs, or are generally interested in online marketing, you may have heard about the Free Traffic System. It seems that many webmasters have become enamored with the system, while others aren’t as satisfied. So what’s the true story with the Free Traffic System, how does it work and is it worth your time?

What is the Free Traffic System?

The Free Traffic System is a link building program that is designed to get you potentially thousands of incoming links to your websites in a short amount of time. At least that is what the website promises you to do.

The way it works is that you write an article revolving around any topic of your choice. After creating a base article, you “spin” it, which involves placing some code into the article and substituting words with a handful of different keywords or phrases.

As an example, in an article about the NFL, in one reference to “NFL” I might spin the term to look like: “[spin]National Football League|professional football|NFL[/spin]“.

The program itself then takes the article with all of the spun words and phrases you included and randomly chooses different words from each combination. The purpose is to in theory create hundreds of different unique articles from just one base article. With the article scoring as unique in the search engine algorithms, a link from that article leading back to your website then would hold legitimate value, as opposed to multiple links coming from duplicate content spread around the web.

Each of your articles includes two links back to the website pages of your choice. You also have the opportunity to spin the anchor text used in the links, and use various URL destinations, to spread out the links you receive. With incoming links carrying so much weight in Google PageRank and therefore your search engine ranking, the Free Traffic System has quickly spread around the world of online marketing as somewhat of an article marketing strategy on steroids.

After spinning the article you get to choose a handful (30 for free members, 40 for premium members) of different blogs, websites and directories to submit the article. By and large, the websites are from other Free Traffic System users, who submitted their blog to the system to in turn receive additional link back opportunities with the articles they themselves submit.

Is it Really Free?

Yes, it’s true that you don’t have to pay to use the Free Traffic System. However, there is a premium membership which offers additional features such as the capacity to add more links and article destinations for each piece of content you submit. Some people jumped on the opportunity to increase their potential with the system and therefore are premium members while others feel it’s not necessary for their online promotion efforts.

Does it Work?

Yes, the Free Traffic System works, although in my personal experience it does not work exactly as promised. To begin with, the process of spinning an article can be fairly time consuming if you want to end up with legitimately unique articles. To combat this, Free Traffic System also offers for purchase software that spins your articles for you, if you’re willing to pay the price. Additionally, some SEO content writers may take on the task of spinning the article for you as well.

Besides the arduous task of spinning articles, the links you receive may be questionable. Some of the blogs you choose to publish your article on end up not working, while others appear to be low ranking, one-size-fits-all directories that wouldn’t help your own PageRank much in any event.

Finally, another concern lies in the appearance of duplicate content around the web. While the service says that all you have to do is change around the words to have perfectly unique articles, the formulas that judge what is unique and what is copied incorporate more than just which words appear, such as article structure, purpose and similar words and terminology.

With all of this said, some webmasters really swear by the Free Traffic System. Without spending any money you can potentially build up thousands of incoming links, with a maximum of 60 possible links coming in per article for free members.

For other people, the task of spinning and the possible low quality of incoming links doesn’t make the system worthwhile. The best way of course for you to make a final determination is to try it out and gauge the results you see from your traffic and rankings.
