Free advertising? How many ways can you get free web site

advertising? No one knows for sure.



Nowadays, getting something for free is too much to ask

for. When it comes to advertising, this is not the case.

There are still many ways web site owners can use to obtain

that free advertising they wanted.



Below are some exceptional ways in obtaining free

advertising to get you started.



1. Online classified advertisements.



Search "free advertising" or "free ads" and you will find

there are many places that you can advertise for free.



Place a few ads, then check your reports to see if they are

bringing in traffic. Start regularly using the ones that

deliver.



2. Link exchanges.



Link exchanges with other web sites help you get free

traffic in two ways: traffic directly from the other site,

and traffic from the search engines.



The link helps your ranking with them. Find sites that have

a theme similar or related to yours, and send out nice

e-mails suggesting an exchange.



3. Post in discussion forums.



This can be a great source of traffic for some sites. You

just talk about things of interest to you and get free

advertising to your web site.



Put your website's URL in your signature. You will be

surprised at how many visitors you attract by this method.

The good thing is that they already "know" you from your

posts so you can consider them to be "targeted" visitors.



If you link to subscription pages for newsletters or

e-courses you offer, you will also get repeat visits from

the traffic. Do not spam or you will be kicked out but true

participation makes a relevant link okay in many forums.



4. Your Newsletter or Ezine.



You should have your own opt-in list and be in

communication with your subscribers on a regular basis.

Some webmasters send out a full e-mail newsletter, with the

contents in the newsletter. Others just send a notification

that the newsletter is available to read online.



5. Submit to directories.



First do a search for niche directories for the topic of

your website. Many general directories also accept

submissions for free.



The value of directories is not direct traffic, however.

But the real value is in the links, which help your ranking

and advertising with the search engines.



6. Write and submit testimonials.



Sometimes it really is better to give than receive.



Internet marketers are always on the lookout for

testimonials. It lends them credibility.



The next time you use a product or service that you

genuinely like, send the supplier a testimonial. Include a

link to your website. If they use your testimonial, they

will almost certainly include the link. This way, your

customers can verify that you are a real person.



Depending on the product and the type of website that you

have, you could even host a review on your site. You would

be highly likely to get a link using this method.



Only endorse products that you are genuinely happy with.

Remember, your name will be associated with it, so make

sure it is a good one.



7. Submit articles.



This is one of the best ways to generate free web site

traffic. An article is valuable because of the "resource

box," or "about the author box" at the bottom, where there

is always a link. If the article leaves you intrigued and

wanting more, you might click through. This is a great way

to generate free advertising.



The visitors that you get in this manner have already read

your work and know about your site. So they are highly

targeted.



All you have to do is submit articles on your chosen topic

to one or more of the free article banks available and

content hungry webmasters will use your work on their sites

and in their newsletters. It is amazing how quickly these

can be distributed around the Internet.



These are just some of the steps to get free advertising in

order to get more traffic to your sire. Some of the steps

are easy while some are not. It may take time to implement

them but it is well worth investing a little time and

effort.
