    1. Write and submit articles to as many article directories as possible.
    The best site to submit to are ezinearticles.com & goarticles.com.
    When you are writing your first article make sure its interesting enough to get people looking at it, take risks, make it edgy, make it HOT, Also do a search on Google.com for “bum marketing” and learn everything about it.

    2. Go to answers.yahoo.com and start answering questions in your niche with a link back to your site.
    But do not spam Yahoo Answers you want to contribute good answers so you actually help the person then that will get you the best answer, but just leaving a link back to your site is ok and long as its relevant to the question.

    3. Post in related forums and leave a link to your site in the signature.
    With forum answering do not expect the traffic to just start flowing in like crazy at first, you will have to establish trust with other members of the forum, spamming sending out scam mail do not work so don’t even try it just generally help others

    4. Write quality comments on other people’s blogs with a link to your site.

    5. Write a press release and submit it to press release sites as PRWeb.com.
    Make sure when you write you press release, that the content is of good quality a good written article can bring you hords of traffic.

    6. Give an honest testimonial on a product that you have used in exchange for a link back to your site.
    Find good people from the forums you hang out in and ask if they will give you a testimonial on a product you know they have used or have had success with.

    7. Submit your blog to many blog directories. Go to google and type: “blog directory”
