Free and Low Cost Ways To Generate Traffic To Your Site
By Elizabeth Sinclair

It is not enough to simply submit your site to the search
engines. Generating traffic to your site takes a little
work, however, it doesn't have to cost you money. I'll
show you several free and low cost ways to drive traffic
to your site.

1. Exchange Ezine Ads - Ezine ads have become a very popular
and successful way to promote your website or newsletter.
People subscribed to a particular ezine are interested in
that subject and are more apt to reply to ads that interest
them. One way you can exchange ezine ads is to approach the
author of your favorite ezine and simply ask them if they
would swap ads with you. Or you can find reputable, targeted
ezines to exchange ads with using the following resources:

List City's Ezine Ad Exchange Directory -

ads with other ezine owners

2. Offer Free Software - Everyone loves freeware or
shareware. You can find some incredible tools and utilities
if you look around. Find software that relates to the theme
of your website. Use the software on your site or provide a
link for the software in your ezine. Here are a couple of
sites that offer a great selection of software tools and
utilities:

3. Sponsor a contest on your website or in your ezine.
Contests are extremely popular. The contest should tie into
and promote your business, products, and services. By having
the contest monthly, weekly, or daily you will generate
repeat business. Here are a few places where you can sponsor
a contest:

Websponsors.com

Earn a commission for contests that you sponsor on your
website. They offer co-branding tools, top offers and more.

Commission Junction

choose which contests or sweepstakes you want to offer, and
then earn affiliate commissions.

These are just a couple of ideas to get you started. You can
find a lot of free, creative ways to promote your site on
the internet. Good luck!
