The first method I recommend is taking articles you have written and placing them on article exchanges so that other websites may pick them up and publish them. Be sure to include your author's bio with website links to your major websites. Usually only two websites are allowed. Also look into ezines that may be looking for content and offer your article for publishing provided they leave the bio box at the end of the article when published.
Give out advice on how to succeed in your field of expertise on your website. Of course you will want to include an advertisement for your website or product. You can also use your voice mail to start a weekly or monthly advice line on areas having to do with you website and advertising the voice mail. The only real problem is that if you don't recognize the number calling you should not answer the phone so the voice mail can kick in.
You can do what is called a "loss leader". Take an item you own and offer it as a free bonus to someone else's main offering. This way when they buy from the other individuals products, your product with advertising of your website branded in it will go out with the purchased product of the other individual.
Linking and link exchanges are a good idea. There are several link exchanges out there that will help you get started at this for free.
These are some methods that many web sites use to generate thousands of traffic hits daily.
Don't spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on things that do not work. The methods above work and are free. Make your website a success in traffic and not a failure. Good luck in your marketing adventure.
