    Some are free, some are on a low budget:

    1. Post on forums. Forum marketing remains one of the best ways to drive traffic. It is highly targeted and most of all it's free and you only need spend a little time each week or each day to post regularly to forums.

    2. Create a blog about your business. Post unique and compelling content to your blog so visitors will come back for more. Some people will even recommend your blog to others, bringing in even more traffic. Social bookmark and social media can help with getting it out there.

    3. Link exchange. Find websites related to yours and request to exchange links. This also works well from a search engine optimization perspective. It's a win-win situation.

    4. Post articles to article directories. Article submission is free, and article marketing is certainly a great way to drive lots of traffic to your site.

    5. Use a little Pay Per Click advertising. Since you are on a budget, you wouldn't want to spend to much on pay per click advertising. However they can very effective. Just set a low daily budget and test your campaign. If it is profitable, increase your daily budget.

    6. Submit press releases. Press releases are a great tool for branding and traffic purposes, so don't discount it! It is completely free advertising that can bring in a ton of leads and sales.

    7. Use video advertising. You can create a simple video and post it up to a video sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo. This is one of the top methods to get free traffic because sites like YouTube are highly-trafficked.

    Combine the above and you have one killer site.

      Don't agree with the 3rd one here. Link exchanges REALLY don't work anymore. In fact, your site can get penalized by trying this one.

      STRONGLY agree with #7. I built up a large list simply by creating small (2 to 3 minute) videos. What you want to do is a create a list of keywords using the Google Keyword Tool (free) and make sure they're exact match phrases. Create a video for each one that solves this problem and funnel all this traffic back to your opt in page.

      With tools like Animoto.com you don't even have to speak in front of a camera. Simply create a bunch of slides and introduce the free report in the beginning and end of the vide.

      Hope this helps...

      Great ideas. I can also add a few more:
      1. Guest Post: You can write articles to other blogs and add a link back to your site. You can find blogs to guest post on through forums, or just by visiting blogs and contact the admin. If you be polite and tell her you would like to give her a great post to add to her site, she will say yes.

      2. Link Directories. Submit your site you main link directories. The highest the rank they have the better. If you can find directories in you niche is better.

      3. Classified ads. Use free classifieds ads websites, such as craiglist, and post ads linking back to your site.

      4. JV Giveaways. This is a bit difficult, but a very effective way. Create a free product and join JV giveaway events.

      5. Blog Commenting. Visit relevant forums and leave comments on them. Do not spam them though, leave a comment only if you have something to say.

      There are so many free methods. A lot depends on what you enjoy doing.
      You can use article directories, develop Web2.0 properties, press releases etc.

      Develop a little plan and then follow it for each of your keywords. Track your results and add more or less back linking as needed. Be sure to diversify.

    You can also try posting answers on Yahoo Answers which will get you a lot of traffic. Look for pertinent questions related to your niche and answer them while leaving a link in the source box. be careful to post links only in one out of every five answers otherwise your posts may be identified as spam.

    There's lots of great suggestions on this thread. From personal experience I'd say article marketing and blog commenting on relevant blogs are the two best free methods for getting subscribers on your list.

    If you write a good article, people will be compelled to read more and click the link in your resource box. If you make a good comment, people will also be compelled to find out more about you and sign up for your list. When I say good comment, I don't mean; "Thanks for the great post." It needs to be something that adds to the article. For example, if it's an article on list building, add something that the author has missed in the article e.g. "I've also found that using XYZ method works really well. When I implemented it I got these results compared to these older results etc".

    Hope this helps,

        Yes, that's why all your threads keep getting deleted.

        There's a way to do forum marketing and it doesn't work the way you're doing it, though I'm sure you've managed to get a nice number of subscribers so far.

        I should know, I'm one of them.

        Not all of them but a simple Google search for "free press release distribution" and we have 54,600,000 results. Though it's true I've had better results with paid PR's.

          Good grief...why is everyone posting the same thing over and over? Here are a few additions not mentioned:

          -Go to networking events and wear a t-shirt with a big fat QR code on it (okay, not exactly free, but...)
          -Start an Internet radio show on blogtalkradio
          -Start a Pinterest account and build it out
          -Public speaking (meetup.com groups are always looking for local speakers willing to speak for free or low fee on their topic of expertise)
          -Get your product reviewed by people of influence
          -Not just blog guest posting...but organize a blog "tour"
          -Interview experts in a field related to yours and then invite your interviewee to send the recording to his/her list

          The list goes on and on...I think the most important answer to the question of how to get free traffic to a website is to "DO". Having a list of ways to get traffic is only good if you're willing to do them.

    There's no such thing as "free", especially if you value your time. So I can only offer you methods that take no cash investment:

    1) Go search for blogs related to your niche and post smart, interesting, or relevant comments that will get approved by the blog owners, Insert your URL in there.

    2) Join forums and put your URL in your signature profile. And post relevant comments to the topics so your links won't be removed.

    3) You can try free tools like SEO Sozial monkey to submit 25 daily links

    4) Propose to bloggers that you will do guest-posts for their niche. (If you want you can outsource the writing, but that takes $$). In the article include a signature link back to your site.

    5) Write good quality, informative, and useful articles related to your website and niche, and put your URL in the signature, and submit them to ezine articles, and other article sites.

    6) The best way is to offer something so valuable that people will share it on facebook, twitter, etc etc.

    7) Sign up for SocialAdder and do their free program to generate bookmarks from other users to your site.


    Anyways,this is a pretty good place to start. If you have money, you can save yourself A LOT of time and effort, of course.

        So many people here are feeling too superior to newbies here instead of helping out some are trying to make fun of them or to point them out.

        Why? This forum was not like this 5 years ago, people used to share their experiences and encourage each other.... what is happening around here?
        I completely agree with you.

    You could use social media marketing like twitter or use youtube or post blogs, make articles on relevant sites, post on forums and put your site in your signature or try to get high in google (every link you post in the things I just told you helps you to get higher on google.

    I agree with a lot of the other warriors. The most effective free ways to bring traffic are forums related to your sites topic, and social media.
    Facebook marketing can be very powerful if done correctly and not spamming.
    Forums that are related to your niche can be a long lasting form of fee traffic.

    I like using forum signatures. Not only is it a free way to get traffic but it's a lot less boring then other methods. I'd rather browse a forum and read about stuff then submit my link to a whole bunch of directories.

    If you want to go absolutely free, then are just 2 methods out there that will work guaranteed.

    Article Marketing
    Forum Posting

    They require a lot of manual work, but since you have no budget, if you're willing to put in the hours, you can see great results.

    I have not checked.. but why not you type in in google " free traffic methods"

    There are a lot of free ways. Normally free ways need a lot more work and manual. But if you do it right and consistently, you are still able to get a good amount of traffic. A few things that I am doing and known of to drive traffic
    1. Organic google search - SEO (only for lower competition keyword that you can do for free if you want to rank fast)
    2. Article (not to drive traffic in specific, but to get to publisher)
    3. Forum (provide good enough value, it definitely brings you traffic)
    4. Video marketing (create interesting one to get it viral)
    5. Publish in web 2.0
    6. Blogging (create good content)
    7. Share to facebook/ twitter for good stuffs (sharing your blog)

    Stay consistent and FOCUS!

    Here is a simple plan on creating content once and utilizing multiple high traffic sites

    1. Create a Quality Article about your product and post it on your site
    2. Create PDF and PPT versions of this article and upload to top pdf/ppt sites eg slideshare,myplick,authorstream
    3. Create a Video using the article content and upload to top video sites eg youtube,metacafe,vimeo,dailymotion

    just doing this will get you traffic and a few backlinks

    About forum marketing is depends what niche you're talking about.

    I have a dating blog and it is terribly hard to find any forum that allows me to have a link signature.

    Best way I believe is to do your homework. Figure out what is unique about your offer and use that info and spend a good bit of time doing keyword research. In my opinion there is nothing more valuable than great keyword research.
    Optimize your page for for your keyword research results.
    If you want to rank in google however the new rules of the game seem to be that your "squeeze page" needs to be more than a squeeze page. You need to have plenty of good content.
