    Bum marketing!! That is the easiest way to get traffic for free. You can even start getting traffic within a few days. All you need to do is write some articles (roughly 500 words) about whatever your website is about, submit them to article directories, and link back to the website you want to get traffic from.

    Search "bum marketing" or "article marketing" in google and look around this forum for details on how to do this. You could literally write a book on bum marketing so I can't explain in details how to do. It's like chess-it takes minutes to learn but takes a lifetime to master. I think that is the perfect situation for you because you are probably looking to get into the internet marketing game and want to see instant success, but you also want to establish your skills so you can make profits in the long run. Bum/article marketing will allow you to get your foot in the door easily with making money online and will open new doors so you can start marketing using other more sophisticated techniques.

    Good luck with your marketing campaign!

    Free blogs (blogger, wordpress.com), blog commenting, article submit (write about your website), social bookmarking (stumbleupon, reddit, digg, delcious.com), social media (facebook fan page, facebook application, like button), forums (with an audience that would be interested in your site).

    Post more pictures on your site and link to them from forums, social bookmarks, etc. Find things that are funny that people are actually willing to share.

    I don't think I could write a long enough post to describe all of the different ways but i will give you a starter list;

    Social Bookmarking
    Blog Commenting
    Directory Submission
    Link Exchange
    Free Ads
    Forum Commenting
    Banner Exchanges
    Facebook (share your site)
    Article Marketing
    Link Building

    This is only a short list, there are plenty more to choose from. Do one of these every day and you will be driving traffic to your site over time, but be patient - it won't happen over night.

    Kind of hard to advertise your website for free, I usually just go to Adsense or MobGold for my wap site. But I guess you can always try to make you website SEO friendly.

    Hi v90,

    Test classified ads, like usfreeads.

    1) Get a free version and write 10 small free ads.
    2) List them in different categories, including in the business section.
    3) If you are advanced, pick a keyword with less than 200 searches a month ( they are almost non competetive )
    4) put the website in the ""add to link""

    This is a free advetising method to get your website on your feet.

    regards, LASSE
