Hey everyone, I thought I'd start a thread where we all share our best traffic generating methods when you don't have your own domain name, say all you have is bit.ly to redirect and shorten.

I'll start:

Forum Posting - Putting my link in forum signatures has always worked out great for me. As always just make sure you actually give valuable info!

    Kenny, I fail to understand why you wouldn't want your own domain. I see that you are building a mailing list with your sig link, but why would you choose not to direct your visitors to your own website? It is much more professional than directing them to a page hosted by a third party. That same page could easily be thrown up on a wordpress site.

      I could have my own domain, and do for many other sites. The point of that site not going to its own domain is an experiment I'm doing right now.

      And the point of this post was not just for my own benefit, but for anyone that doesn't have the money to purchase domain names or hosting right now, just like I couldn't when I first started.

        I clicked your sig to see what you had. I think the aweber hosted list is fine. However, in this day, you MUST have a facebook page as well. Doesn't cost anything and better than old school blogs. So when someone signs up at your aweber form you send them link to your facebook. Sounds like you love marketing. You don't even have to write original stuff. Just post videos and links from material you find useful. Do that once a day. Send out one or two notifications per week for real good stuff you post. All free and effective. Good luck.
