Please click on the "more" button for the tips and tricks on how to use the specific method

Article Writing

I prefer this than press release. It is so much easier to get accepted by an article directory than a press release. If you submit your article to enough directories, it can get equal exposure to press releases.5 points

Commenting

Commenting can be a very effective way to get free traffic. I have certainly done it. If you know where to comment, you can massive and targeted traffic and high PR backlinks. The only problem though, it's quite time consuming to search for blogs and articles that are related to your website and allows you to comment on it. You can use softwares like Blog Comment Demon to automate your search for related sites. Though, you still need to read the article and comment cleverly.1 point

Forum

Participating in related is also an awesome trick. People often forget to post a link to their website in their signatures. I personally don't like to use banners in forum signatures because it looks to cheesy. Use an interesting question instead. Look for forums and participate in it.1 point

Viral Marketing

Viral marketing is a technique of generating traffic by giving away free e-book and encouraging people who read them to do the same. It can be very effective if you already have a large list. If you are just starting out, it can take quite a while before your traffic picks up. However, these people who does visit your website convert well because they have been pre-sold by the book.1 point

Press Release

This is really difficult... at least for me. I'm not so much of a writer. But if you are, then this might just be for you. You must first be able to write an article of approximately 800 - 1000 words on a particular subject. You'll have to format it and have it edited. They'll then judge whether you article is newsworthy or not.1 point

Classified Ads

There are tons of websites like craigslist.com that offers to post free classified ads on its website. I have never personally use them but some have reported an increase in traffic.0 points

Organic Search Result

This is probably the hardest to get. You need to be at least in page 2 of search results for a particular keyword before you can expect any traffic. However, with the introduction of sites like *SQUIDOO*, I have personally got to number 2 position in a week for my main keyword. These are quality traffic that often converts highly if you targeted the right keyword.0 points

Bookmarking

An increasing number of people are using online bookmarking services and browsing them. These are quality traffic Sites like digg.com and del.icio.us are good places to start. However it's very time consuming to post your bookmark to the hundreds of bookmarking sites. Of course, you can just post to the major ones, which still consists of at least 20. You can use softwares like bookmarking demon to automate the process, just don't spam the system.0 points

Buzz Program

These are programs you must install on your computer for your ad to be displayed. This program will display relevant ads on your computer while you are browsing. As you surf and see more ads, you earn more points. These points will then determine how often your ad will appear in the program installed in other people's computer.0 points

Best Ways To Generate Traffic Free 

Blog Commenting
This software can help you find related blogs and articles that allows you to comment on it and related to your website thus saving you a lot of time doing research. Commenting is the easiest way to get high quality backlinks and traffic.
Automate Bookmarking
This software automates your bookmarking process by helping you to 20 different major bookmarking sites and as much scuttle sites as you can possibly find. Do not use this system to spam or you will be banned by the I.P.
Free Blog Advertising
This is a free service Mike Fisaime. What he did was create a blog where you can post your ad for free. There are limitations like the size of your banner and how times you can post. You can pay to extend these limits though. And since google's bot indexed it, you can get indexed pretty quickly if you posted there.
Buzz Program
You need to download the program and earn points to display your ad. It works by displaying other people's sd on your computer while displaying your ad on other people's computer. There are hundreds of programs like this, most of which are junk adware. This is the only one I used.
Best Forum Ever
This is the best forum, except for squidU of course :), I have ever been to. The people can really help you out there.
USFreeAds
This is a free site where you can post classified ads. Easy to use and works.
