    Hi all,

    I have $100 to spend on marketing. My site is only a hobby site, but of course i would like to increase traffic etc

    I'm not going to pay for traffic but am open to other ideas.

    Thanks

    Buy Back Links to your website or advertise ad words.i am not sure it going to give you profits for your investments.

    Your best bet might be a contest. Promote the contest instead of the site :)

    1) Hire someone to write few articles for your site. Submit those on free article sites.
    2) Hire someone to do social bookmarking for your site.
    3) Hire someone to do ad posting on online free classified websites.
    4) Use PPC services AdWords, Bidvertiser to get traffic.

    I think you can do article submission and social bookmarking manually and its better to spend your money on PPC advertising.

    depending on your niche buying (real human) traffic directly may be a better approach

    Using some free vouchers for adwords, yahoo, bing can already get you some extra traffic. But yeah it all depends on what your site is about and what your goals are

    Maybe buy one of those automated article/directory submitters like Linkbuilder Pro. Also, SENuke is about $100/month, so you could get that for a month. That is a wicked piece of software.

    Pay a writer to do 5-10 (depending on what they charge) articles for you and then submit them to the top 30 directories.
