Oftentimes you have to spend money to make money. Unfortunately some people enter the world of internet marketing with large debts and as a last resort. They need all the free resources they can get. Others simply want to cut advertising costs and increase profits. The methods outlined below are not only very effective at generating traffic but are also free.

1. Trade links with other web sites. They should be related to the subject of your web site. Instead of trading links, you could also trade banner ads, half page ads, classified ads, etc.

2. Start an e-zine for your web site. When people read each issue they'll be reminded to revisit your web site. They'll see your product ad more than just once which will increase your orders.

3. Form an online community. It could be an online message board, e-mail discussion list or chat room. When people get involved in your community they will regularly return to communicate with others.

4. Write articles and submit them to e-zines, web sites and magazines that accept article submissions. Include your business information and web address at the end of the article.

5. Give away an electronic freebie with your ad on it. Allow your visitors to also give the freebie away. This'll increase your ad exposure and attract people to your web site at the same time.

6. Combine your products or services into one big package deal with other businesses offerings. You could share a web site and advertise the package deal; which means double the traffic.

7. Submit your freebie to the online directories that list your particular item or service for free. If you're offering a free e-zine, submit it to all the free e-zine directories on the internet.

8. Participate on message boards. Post answers to other people's questions, ask questions and post appropriate information. Include your signature file at the end of all your postings.

9. Exchange classified or sponsor ads with other free e-zine publishers. If there is a huge subscriber difference between e-zines, one can run more ads to make up for it.

10. Post your ad on free advertising areas on the internet. You can post it on free classified ad sites, free for all links sites, newsgroups that allow ads, free yellow page directories, etc.

All of these methods and more will drive more traffic to your site for free. All it takes is a bit of effort and extended man hours. Learn all you can about the methods depicted here and you will soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the usual costs that come with it.

Developing Success Metrics for website benchmarking
By: Isdaron | 10-09-2006
Dear fellow Yedda-Users, I'm currently working on my master thesis, where I would like to benchmark different websites for success. I'm aware that there are traffic services like Hitwise and Alexa, but I would like to broaden this view by additional metrics. For example, I would like to list how many "Diggs" a site has had or how many people have bookmarked it via Del.icio.us or similar services.Is there a way to find out:1) How many Diggs a website (not a specific page on that site) has received? 2) How many Websites link to a website (not a specific page on that site, but the site in whole)3) How many bookmarks have been made on Del.icio.us (for the site in whole, not a specific page on the site)I would also be very interested in your point of view on if there are additional metrics to compare the success of websites. Thank you very much, Bjoern
