social media work really good to drive free traffic

Best way to get free traffic in my opinion is to upload YouTube videos and stuff the description with keywords you are focused on

Here are a few examples that may help you out!
1) Social Media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google +
2) Bookmarking Sites: Stumbler, Reddit, Digg
3) Contacts: Share in your email, Forums, Email signature
4) Other Blogs: Comment on other blogs, Submit articles to other blogs
5) SEO: find good keywords will help bring free traffic from Google to your website

Another major and relatively fast way is create to create YouTube videos promoting your site. Then add a link to your site. One interesting Fact about YouTube is it gets around 4 billion views daily!

It's just like normal traffic generation. The only difference is, your end goal isn't to get the page on Google. All you have to do is generate quality backlinks. Here are a few ideas.

- Make a few videos on YouTube about your topic and tell them to click your link in the description.
- Include a few hyperlinks to your squeeze page from your blog.
- Write a few blog comments on blogs in a similar niche using your squeeze page as your website URL.

I believe it's best if you can get traffic to your blog and then direct them from there onto your squeeze page. Difficult, but much more lucrative if you can pull it off, simply because of your blog's preselling abilities.

The best way is through JV partners. You can customize the squeeze page that's related to the list owner. It has $0 cost, no risk from your side, and it grows your subscribers tremendously overnight! :-)

PPC is another way, but it can be used for only testing, not driving massive loads of traffic, since 80% of the money on PPC is usually wasted, even if you have a good conversion page. It depends on the quality of the ad and the targeted traffic that's going through this squeeze page.

If you want to get traffic your site, you need to be more focused about Social Media, Write Blog Posts, Post Unique Content on other blogs(Guest Posting). Try to write in such a way that it would tempt people to come to your site.

I use targeted ads on FB and direct them to my fan page and then get them over to my email list

tac88 gave a good answer. I think those are really good way.

Giving away free content - via ebooks, whitepapers, Slidehare, etc. - works well, especially for lead generation or email capture, because visitors arrive at your site already viewing you as a trusted source.

Forum marketing works great too - and don't forget the niche social networking sites related to your site niche. Getting traffic these days means being as creative as possible.

The best free traffic targeted to your site would be

- social media
- forums
- social bookmarking

Hope this helps
