How to Get Free Website Traffic from ChatGPT (Even If You're Brand New!)
Today, I'm going to show you a simple yet powerful method to tap into the massive traffic flowing through ChatGPT – we're talking over 5 billion visitors each month! And the best part? You can do this even if you're brand new, don't have a website, or are just starting out as a content creator, affiliate marketer, e-commerce store owner, or CPA marketer.
I know it sounds like a lot of work to get your website noticed by ChatGPT, but trust me, we're not going to focus on that today. Instead, we're going to "piggyback" off the websites ChatGPT is already promoting. Think of it as a shortcut to getting free, targeted traffic.
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll know exactly how to identify relevant websites, reach out to them, and get featured, ultimately driving more traffic to your content or offers. I've seen this method work wonders, and I'm excited to share it with you. Let's dive in!
Prerequisites:
- A free ChatGPT account (the free version is perfectly fine).
- A niche or topic you're interested in.
- A willingness to do a little outreach.
Step 1: Understanding How ChatGPT Mentions Websites
ChatGPT, especially with its web search enabled, is now pulling in real-time data from across the internet. When it answers queries, it often mentions websites, blogs, agencies, tools, and creators. This gives these entities instant visibility to a massive audience – millions of users are able to see them! We want a piece of that pie.
Setting up ChatGPT for Success
1. Open ChatGPT.
2. Ensure ChatGPT is set to "instant" or the default setting. You want it to be able to access and use real-time internet data.
Step 2: Triggering ChatGPT's Web Search Tool
To get ChatGPT to recommend relevant websites, we need to craft specific prompts that force it to use its web search. Think of these prompts as "keywords" that activate the web search functionality. Here are five main categories of prompts, followed by examples:
1. List Searches: Think "best," "top," or "most" keywords.
- Example: "Best affiliate marketing tools 2025"
- Example: "Top small business podcasts"
- Example: "Most trusted marketing agencies in the UK"
- Example: "Best web designers in Manchester"
- Example: "Personal trainers near me"
- Example: "Coffee roasters in London"
- Example: "SEO tools for bloggers"
- Example: "Courses for digital marketers"
- Example: "Communities for entrepreneurs"
- Example: "Examples of great landing pages"
- Example: "Successful affiliate websites"
- Example: "Marketing case studies 2025"
- Example: "ConvertKit versus Mailchimp"
- Example: "Ahrefs alternatives"
- Example: "ClickFunnels reviews"
Practical Example: Finding Personal Trainer Websites
Let's use the example from the beginning: "Best personal trainers in London."
1. Type "Best personal trainers in London" into ChatGPT and hit enter.
You should see that ChatGPT triggers its web search tool and suggests a handful of relevant websites, for example, a website that lists the 20 best personal trainers in London.
- Key Takeaway: These websites are already doing the heavy lifting to rank well in search results and are now being promoted by ChatGPT.
Step 3: Identifying Target Websites
Now that we have a list of websites ChatGPT is referencing, it's time to narrow down our focus.
1. Create a Spreadsheet: List all the websites ChatGPT mentions in your niche.
2. Prioritize List/Resource-Style Content: Focus on websites that publish "best of" lists, resource guides, or articles featuring multiple examples. These are the easiest to get featured on.
- Tip: Look for websites that have a good domain authority (DA) or a high number of referring domains. You can use tools like Moz or Ahrefs to check this.
Step 4: Finding Contact Information
Getting in touch with the right person is crucial. Here's how to find contact information for your target websites:
1. Check the Website: Look for a "Contact," "Write for Us," or "Submit a Resource" page.
2. Use LinkedIn: Search for the website's company page and identify the content manager, editor, or site owner.
3. Hunter.io: Use this tool to find email addresses associated with the website's domain.
Step 5: Crafting Your Outreach Message
Now for the most important part: reaching out! Keep your message short, personalized, and offer value.
1. Personalize Your Message: Address the person by name and mention the specific article you found.
2. Highlight Relevance: Explain why your content/tool/website fits well with their existing content.
3. Make It Easy: Provide a short description, one key benefit, and your link, ready for them to copy and paste.
4. Offer Reciprocity: Offer to share their article on your social media and with your email list.
Here's an example outreach message:
`Hey [Name],`
`I saw your article on [Topic] – it's ranking really well and even showing up in ChatGPT's answers! I think your readers would love my [tool/website/resource], [Name of your website]. It fits right alongside the existing examples.`
`Would you consider adding it to the list?`
`Here’s a short description:`
`[Your website description] - [One Key Benefit] - [Your website link]`
`I'd also be happy to share your article on my social media and with my email list.`
`Thanks,`
`Eberechukwu John`
- Tip: Keep your email concise and to the point. Editors are busy!
Step 6: Adapt for Affiliate and CPA Marketing
If you're an affiliate or CPA marketer, the process is similar.
1. Link to Bridge Content: Instead of directly linking to an affiliate offer, link to a blog post, YouTube video, or Medium article that reviews the product/service and includes your affiliate link.
2. Same Outreach Process: Use the same outreach message to get your bridge content featured on relevant websites.
Step 7: Rinse and Repeat
This method is simple, repeatable, and compounds over time. The more websites you get featured on, the more traffic you'll receive from ChatGPT and other sources.
- Consistency is Key: Regularly search ChatGPT for relevant websites and reach out to them.
Summary
Congratulations! You've now learned how to leverage ChatGPT to get free traffic to your website or content. Remember, the key is to:
1. Use specific prompts to trigger ChatGPT's web search.
2. Identify relevant websites that ChatGPT is already promoting.
3. Find contact information for the right person.
4. Craft personalized outreach messages that offer value.
This method takes effort, but the potential rewards are enormous. Start implementing these strategies today, and you'll be well on your way to tapping into the massive traffic flowing through ChatGPT. Now go out there and put this into practice! I believe in you!
