It's cool. I would also like to add that 5 and 13 will cost you some money while others are free. Other than that it is really a good list for people who want free traffic.
Hi, that is really cool and most informative post. Thanks for sharing. but i think your point "9. Manually submit your website to the major search engines." is not necessary. Because I am getting hundreds of traffic towards my site from three major search engines and I have never submitted my site manually to any search engine.
Great list but lose the submit to search engines. Its not needed, they will crawl the popular sites that have your link on and find you that way. Also number 25. Start a lens on www.Squidoo.com. Also start a hubpage, knol, wordpress and blogger page etc.
That's a great list but it forgets the most important point. 1. Write a well researched, valuable and original content. 2. Write and submit articles to the article directories. 3. Leave comments on other people's blogs with a backlink to your site. 4. Answer people's questions on www.answers.yahoo.com. ""
>>>22. Start a page on social bookmarking sites such as www.MySpace.com. I thought myspace was social networking? Nonetheless still a good point. But need to add social networking and social bookmarking.
