Great list! There is always paid ads 125x125 link exchange, but I think you covered most of theme. Thanks agin

 

what is bum marketing ?

 

Very good informative link.Thanks!

 

Same here..

Can you explain to us what is bum marketing?

 

Bum marketing is basically a variation of article marketing.

 

Bum Marketing is a combination of affiliate marketing and article marketing together. PM me if you would like to know more.

 

By the way Mike. Great list.

How about submitting something to a free giveaway site. Lots of exposure, drives traffic and you have the chance of giving your list a kick start.

 

That's a great powerful ways to drive good traffic to our blogs!
I usually follow some of the ways to my blog and hope,some other ways given by you can be useful to improve my blog!

 

Pretty much saying the same thing. There are more ways of driving traffic but I prefer to keep them exclusive to myself (for the moment). Great list anyway

 

thank you very much it's interesting

 

That is an extensive list, I appreciate the effort. I've tried to build Squidoo lenses, but I am not a fan of their preset templates. I have about 4 lenses that have remained unpublished. I've just learned to accept that Squidoo and I will never be mates.

 

As you said free giveaway site are very powerful source of traffic .

This method is recommended if doing list building .

Mike

 

Can somebody tell me how to do that please?
Thanks in advance.

 

I agree with the list.

 

Viral videos at youtube - less the one out of 1,000,000 videos will go "viral."

A lot of people think its so easy to make a video that goes viral. But the fact is, most people have a better chance of winning the lottery then making a "viral" video.

 

You hit on all of the non paid ways to get traffic. Good list!

 

Very nice tips and very useful for people to get traffic to their site or blog.

 

I agree with the list although I can not do all..
Just do some of them and boost my traffic.

Additional info for no 15:
15. Ping your post to ping sites such as ping-o-matic.

other ping site, I also use it:
www.pingler.com

 

Yeah.

You can also use pingler .
