    quick question lol

    That is like asking "what is the best food on earth."

    The best way is one that works for you. Any answer given will have people on one side saying it is good and on the other saying it is bad.

    If you can't find a willing Boxer you could put something on your car and drive around all day. Personally, I'm thinking about hiring one of those sign twirlers to stand on the corner..... hmmmm

    Have them point to your residence. When people knock on your door, let them in and have them sit at your computer and view your website(s). :D

    Might want to advertise that you have punch and pie. :D

    I have tried to keep most of my advertising cost free. While paid advertising is the best, here are some free alternatives.

    Post in forums (have a link to your site in your sig).
    Write articles (have a link to your site in your resource box).
    Traffic exchanges but use them correctly. (PM me for details)

    Then there's always PPC. It can be as cheap or expensive as you want it to be, but it does work!

    One of the best ways to get started is e-zine advertising:

    * it's fairly cheap
    * allows you to drive targeted traffic as long as you select the right e-zines
    * great for testing: get started with a small budget & try different headlines... once you know what works (know your approx. ROI), you can invest more money.

    But careful, advertising doesn't build trust and confidence, so it's a good idea to use additional strategies:

    * sending your own articles to article directories & e-zine publishers
    * posting to forums -- providing valuable content
