Now, for most, they consider things like paying for ads, paying for backlinks, paying for traffic, etc. Many times those are good solutions, especially for a website that sells something. Many other websites make enough to keep going solely from the money made on ads. So, paying out for more traffic may not be the best option.

The most amazing site promotion technique is actually FREE. That's right, free. Totally legit, and easy to do. Get ready, here it comes.

Write articles. That's right, all those little tidbits of information you have yourself read many times. You can write and submit them for free to article directories, where people read them either on those websites, or on other websites that can use your content for free, giving you credit, and a place for people to find more information.

So, let's look at what you stand to gain:

EXPERT

You get to be labeled an expert. The more you write on your topic, the more of an expert you are recognized as. When you're an expert, you're the one people want to go with. That is something with some serious value to it.

BACKLINKS

You get free backlinks from your article, and they are the best kind. You choose the anchor words, and as your article spreads, you get more backlinks in a viral fashion. You can't get any better than this. This will drive up your page rank in short order, and you will be getting additional traffic from search engines before you know it.

READY-MADE AUDIENCE

People that follow those links in your resource section to your website page of your choice are ready to hear more of what you have to say or sell. Laser-targetted, eager visitors. The golden egg is here.

Now, let's look at what you stand to lose:

... Nothing.

Guess that's an easy choice then. Just take some time, and write some useful information for your audience, and you stand to gain in a big way. I myself have done everything from paid advertising to driving traffic numerous other ways, and writing articles is not only the easiest, but by far the most effective. These backlinks don't go away, and by doing 2-3 articles a week, you stand to continue to grow. The most effective advertising, and free. Double bonus!
