    Banner or link exchange, just adding lings everywhere you can, PR articles, press releases... What are the best ways to advertise if you don't want to spend your money? Any opinions?

    I reckon if you did some article marketing, some directory submissions and upload videos ons sites like youtube etc would be an excellent start.

    Twitter is also a good way to interact with people, exchange ideas and promote your website.

    Get some backlinks - comment on blogs, post in forums, bookmark your posts.

    Give people a reason to look at your site - interesting articles, funny videos etc.

    Put some videos up on youtube.

    Post intelligent comments on popular sites in your niche

    Signature links is a good option. But normal SEO is probably the best.

    Article marking and social bookmarking are good ways. Also blog commenting and forum posting.

    I always go back to the Social Networks for free advertising, specifically MySpace + Friend Trains - it's free - and easy to find a lot of people in any demographic really fast.

    high quality, unique content updated on daily basis is what really works. Then people will promote your site. You can't build so many links that 1000 people can. :) And you can't spread the word so much and 1000 satisfied people do. :)

    Anyway, if you want decent traffic without advertising, you might buy expired domain in domain aftermarket auction.

    You can get 2000-3000UIPs/month for 20$ or so, sites with tons of backlinks and real PR that will generates decent traffic for 6-12 months.

    If you want quality traffic expired domains for few $, you might visit my list generator:

    You can advertise in your signature at different forums. You can also do article submission. And there are many sites that allow you to place advertisements for free.
