    Im wondering if anyone can guide me on free advertising or paid (if its not too much money) To generate traffic to my website.

    www.123buyer.co.uk

    Ive setup a online auction kinda like ebay but smaller. Currently there are no official auctions going live as i need members to start posting auctions (so i know this couldl turn people away until it picks up)

    Im just wondering is there anyhtink i can use or do to bring visitors to my site so they sign up and start using it?

    Any help would be great
    :cool:

    Try using social media networks. You could also do a google search for free classifed ad sites and keep posting ads. Have you thought about setting up a blog, you can do this for free at blogger.com. You could also try writing articles about your site and posting them to free article directories, again do a google search and you will find loads. Just make sure you include links to your site in as many places as possible.

    Make sure you charge lower insertion fees than rip-off merchants like eBay!

    Try to use social networking such as Faceebok and Twitter. Also try Digg and Reddit to submit your interesting articles related with your targeted niche.

    I am also just starting to drive traffic to my wife's blog and i find twitter, facebook and forum posting (make sure your posts are relevant) to be very helpful. We don't have much traffic but from 1 to 2 visitors a day, we now average over 50 a day and hopefully it get's higher every week

    Actually free promotions is time consuming. Only paid method can do well.
    Use email marketing method to build your list up, make some special offer occasionally can give you repeat visitors.
    It's more valuable.

    Suggest you get it through social network such as facebook or twitter. Also ask your friend to helps
    Once you have little bit member, then you can consider to use affiliate program to get more "real member"
