Nice post ezimedia,

Well my steps are basically:
1) Add it to about 10 billion directories lol.
2) Exchange links with other related sites.
3) Pay NP$ for links to site id need be.
4) Wait around 2 months for Google PR to update, see how it's going, if it's going well. I just leave as is and let the users do the work, if not, more links!

HI

I get traffic to a lot of my sites from the following

1) Sigs in forums.
2) Cross linking my sites..
3) having a sig in all my out going emails I reply to or send.
4) Adwords.
5) Affiliates.
6) Banner exchange sites.
7) Viral marketing.
8) SE's.... seo.
9) word of mouth
10) Directory submissions.
11) links in out going emails from directories and other sites I own.
12) Paid site listings.
13) Paid ezine and solo ads.

Ok that is it for now I there is more...

OK safelists... not much but a small amount of traffic..

Things...I have not tried...for a long long time

Posting to blogs.
Posting to guess books.
Book mark sites
Top rank sites.
ebay auction traffic.
free ebook branding traffic.
ffa.. waste of time.

OK well that is all I can think of right now... but each of the above has at least 3 sub cats... that can bring traffic...

Just think about it and there are many ways to drive traffic to ones sites....

Thanks

P.s

Here are 3 more examples...

Pay for a script that has resale rights and then give it away for free.... but in your lic copyright make sure every one that installs the script their websites leaves the link back to your sites.

Go to scriptlance or rentacoder and hire a person to write a 10 page report for you on an subject and in that report you link back to your site. you only need to pay $10$ per 500 words per page for the report.... post it on downloads.com as a pdf or exe ebook format or even post it on news groups..

Ok the last one for the sites above hire a person to write 10x 500 word articles for you for 10$ er article so 10 x10 = $100 usd then add those articles to an auto responder...and make your visitors.... optin to the auto responder.. by giving them a free gift... a pdf or exe ebook / report..

Then when you have them on your list you can promote to them...

Thanks

P.s

If I was to write an ebook on how to drive traffic to a website... How many of you would be interested..

And should I charge for it or give it away for free and if you would pay for such an ebook what would you think is a fair price..

Very nice post!

Great job everyone on the posts.
I've been using google and yahoo to promote my site slicksticks.com They have actually done well for us. However, the company markets a wall graphic decorative product which may change the dynamic a bit. In other words, you may not want to pay google or yahoo, etc..if you are not really selling anything and just want to get people on your site to possibly tap into pay per clicks. (I'm not 100% sure that that's a bad idea...I just don't know if it makes sense.)

I think in general linking to other related forums and sites seems to be an great way to generate traffic that is free or cheap. I'd love to hear more specifics on how people have organized a marketing strategy around a product based site that has gotten them alot of traffic.

Anyways, once again, nice posts..hopefully this thread will evolve into a great detailed resource.

Just a general question to anyone on these links and others in the thread...is there a downside to adding your link to these free to signup sites?

Check out various forums where you can purchase text links on pr4 and above sites that are relevant to your site. These can be purchased at cheap rates on many sites and will over a short period of time do more for your page rank than many other seo methods.
