    I see a lot of posts on webmaster forums asking how to get free traffic and I've learnt a few things over the years and wanted to provide a list of all free traffic techniques.

    My sources are from various forums, including:
    http://forum.codecall.net/marketing/23173-51-free-ways-get-free-traffic.html

    --------------------

    The List of Free Traffic Techniques:

    1) Ping ping-o-matic each new blog post. Make this automatic so you need not worry about it. Ping-o-matic will ping all the big guys like Technorati.

    2) Submit to social network/bookmarking services. There are services out there that let you do this with the click of a button.

    3) Don't be afraid to link to others. If they find your link to them, they may link you back (especially if you and they are using pingback/trackback).

    4) Posting on forums. If you can offer a excellent content, people will want to learn more about you and click on your signature link.

    5) Blog Comment Posting. Same as above except with blog comments. I use it and it gives me link-backs but I rarely ever see much traffic generated from it.

    6) Exchange reciprocal links with other related websites.

    7) Network with other people at seminars or other live events.

    8) Purchase advertising in popular newsletters or ezines.

    9) Advertise on other product’s “thank you” pages.

    10) Create a free ebook and list in on the “free ebook” sites.

    11) Buy and use a memorable domain name.

    12) Do something controversial.


    Feel free to add to this list.

    DOnt forget to change all your blog posts to articles and submit them to the main article directories. Include a link to your blog post. This will help for better rankings and more traffic.

    On page SEO is a very big one! Surprised you forgot to add it. Helps you get more targeted visitors from search engines, which is of course free traffic

    Very nice list, the number 11 is not free :p
    Another free technique is exchanging links with others, I add your link, you add mine.
