Another useful link for those who need free traffic: http://www.greatdirectories.org/info/promotional-websites-list I think this list of social bookmarking websites will excellent tool for getting backlinks and traffic to inner pages of websites. It would be better if websites will be web design and web development related.
It's very cool list. I have two questions: 1. Will all links be direct? 2. Can I submit the home page?
1. Majority of backlinks - are direct, but there are also redirect. 2. You can submit home page but there is small chance that owners of websites will publish it. It's better to submit fresh news or articles.
At average - 500-600 people. Maximum - up to 1000! Trafic directly depends on how interesting news will be. It's very important that news would be web design or development related.
