There are hundreds, if not thousands, of ways to drive traffic to your website; some are free while others cost money. Many of the free ways are more effective (and, of course, FREE!) than those that cost money. Check out these 10 simple, but COOL, ways to attract people to your website.
1. Give people a free subscription to your e-zine.
Almost everyone is publishing an e-zine nowadays so it's important to give something extra with the free subscription. You could offer a free gift or advertising when people subscribe.
2. Provide your visitors with free content. Your content will be more attractive to your visitors if it's up-to-date or original. You could also offer people the option to reprint the content in their e-zine or website.
3. Offer a free online directory. The directory could be full of interesting e-books, e-zines, websites etc. If people find your directory to be a valuable resource they will visit it over and over.
4. Give your visitors a free e-book. You could also include your own ad in the e-book and allow other people to give it away. If you don't want to take the time to write one, you could ask other writers' permission to use their articles.
5. Hold free online classes or seminars. They could be held in your website's chat room. The idea of "live" information will definitely entice people to visit your website. You will become
known as an expert on the topic.
6. Give visitors a free entry into your contest or sweepstakes. The prizes should be something of interest or value to your visitors. Most people who enter will continually revisit your website to get the results.
7. Let visitors download free software. It could be freeware, shareware, demos, etc. You could even turn part of your site into a free software directory. If you created the software, include your ad inside and let other people give it away.
8. Offer free online services or utilities from your website. They could be search engine submitting, copywriting, proofreading, etc. The service or utility should be helpful to your target audience.
9. Give free consulting to people who visit your website. You could offer your knowledge via e-mail or by telephone. People will consider this a huge value because consulting fees can be very expensive.
10. Give your visitors a free membership to your online club. People want to belong to something - why not your online club? You could also give away a free e-zine for club members only.

Bullying at Sleep Away Camp
By: njmom | 20-08-2008
My daughter went To camp Blue Ridge in Pennsylvania. Last summer she was bullied by a close friend and left camp. The camp did absolutely nothing to prevent or reprimand the bully. My daughter was left to feel there was something wrong with her. She saw the proper professionals and they confirmed to us that there was nothing wrong with her except that she was bullied. She returned to camp this past summer and left again because of the same reason. The camp does not have a non-bullying policy. The owner told us that we would receive a refund for our tuition one week after my daughter left, which was the second week in July. We are still waiting for our refund. I am trying to find out if this occured to anyone else. Also, to try to stop bullying at camp just like it is not tolerated in schools
