I understand giving away a free eBook is a very good way to drive traffic to your site. I have written one (listed in my signature) and by submitting to http://www.free-ebooks.net/goto.php?id=1208464798, I do get about 10 visitors a day, which is quite a high number for the site. My question is, how do I use it in other ways, to drive traffic to my site? Thanks.
Think Viral. Learn all about viral marketing and go viral with your ebook. Read "The new rules of viral marketing" by David Meerman Scott http://www.davidmeermanscott.com/
Include lots of links within your ebook also start submitting to download sites, torrent sites with other titles (blackhat) creating videos with links included to your free download add to free download websites. Another cool way that I used before was to make the download freely available but password protect it but in the zip file have a text document saying password info and I sent the downloader to my website in order to get the password and found that the majority of visitors going to get the password either clicked on my adsense ads or bought one of my products or affiliate products. Worked well for me give it a go yourself.
