Increase Your Downline For Free 

If you are a network marketer or promote any sort of affiliate program there is a system called AllNetworkersTeam that will help you produce traffic and build your downline, absolutely free.

They have a training program and provide different programs for you to sign up for, most are free and you can pick which ones. The programs help you market your business and get traffic.

They encourage you to promote AllNetworkersTeam. This will help build your downline with the programs you have signed up for. You also can add your website information, and your referrals are incouraged to see what you have to offer. So if you promote an affiliate program or anything else they may sign up.

Once you learn how to market AllNetworkersTeam you will be able to promote any business. The training is pretty good. This system is worth getting into, and again it's free, so why not?

You can check out AllNetworkersTeam here.

Use Your Computer As An Advertising Machine 

Advertise your website by doing nothing on your computer

This new software shows other people's ads on your computer everytime your computer sits idle. You can set the range from 30 seconds to 10 minutes idle time, and you can even pause it all together. It's not annoying because it only shows ads when your not doing anything on your computer. You just have to exit them out or else they will stay up, so that could be annoying for some.

Sounds pretty cool right? Well one problem I have found is that it doesn't work right when my screensaver is running. It may just be my computer, who knows. The other problem, and a much bigger one, is that I hardly ever look at any of the ads that show up on my computer. So, how much do you wanna bet that the people that see my ad is doing the same?

Now, if you can write a killer ad and get people's attention, then I would say give it a try. The only thing I don't like is that you lose view credits only when your ad is shown... not clicked.

But anyway, you can check out Dont-Touch-My-Ads here. The site is run by Mike Filsaime, who happens to be a very well known internet marketer, and "guru" if you will. He owns a lot of kick-butt websites and usually comes out with some amazing products.

Oh, as a side note, there is a website called ScreenBlaze that does the same thing as Dont-Touch-My-Ads, except your ads get shown every time your screensaver runs. I'm gonna be checking it out soon, and I'll give an update and let you know what I think about it. Then I'll do a comparison of the two and give my recommendation.

Get Your Website Listed in Over 100,000 Search Engines 

Plus $200 in free pay-per-click (PPC) advertising every month!

90% of internet users find what they are looking for through the search engines. You can submit your website manually to the top search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. It could take weeks or months to ever get listed though. If you want a sure-fire way of getting your website listed and having a company promote your website for you, there is a company called Spin Success.

They make this their living. They have been helping website owners for over a decade get top rankings in the search engines. Their service is not free, but it is very affordable and worth sharing with you.

The up-side is that not only will you get a lot of real, targeted visitors from the search engines, but they also give you $100 worth of free pay-per-click (PPC) advertising for Looksnap.com and Questclick.com each, for every month. So the $30 monthly service charge for Spin Success to generate qualtiy traffic to your site doesn't look that bad. Spin Success will also submit your website to international search engines as well, which is a big plus.

You will be able to gain the #1 spot for your keywords knowing you have nothing to pay out of your own pocket. You could technically pay $100 per click if you wanted, although that is not necessary. Most of the keywords I bid on are around $30 to $50 per click to be the #1 spot. That doesn't mean you have to be number one though.

This service will work even if you don't own your own website. You can promote any affiliate URL of your choice. I think it is better to have your own website if you are going to use this service, but that is entirely up to you.

If you want very affordable and reliable web hosting you can check out Host4Profit.com. They even pay you $10 for every referral.

Promote To a List of Hungry Buyers 

The saying goes, "the money is in the list."

Email marketing is huge! It allows you to create money on demand. You can market a new promotion, a special you are running, or some new opportunity that you think would be beneficial to your list. If you're not working on building your own list of hungry buyers then you need to start right now. It is easy to put up a form on a website and gather your visitor's name and email address. If you want to start building your list I recommend you get an autoresponder that will automate the process for you. The one I use and recommend is GetRepsonse. They are very affordable and do a great job for building and maintaining a list. Find out more by clicking here.

Have Your Ad Shown On Other People's Websites 

Thank You Ads


Increase your traffic with targeted, serious buyers who already have credit card in hand, willing and ready to buy from YOU For Free!

If you have a newsletter or are selling a product, all you have to do is place a small piece of code on your Thank You page. For every ad that is shown on your Thank You page, your ad will appear on someone elses. Not only will you be building your list, but you will have your ad being shown. It's a pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

Basically you trade in a completely worthless piece of space on your site for prime, money-making real-estate on thousands of sites all over the world.

Get Targeted Traffic by Doing What You Do Almost Every Day 

Traffic Exchanges, also know as Surf For Credit programs, require you to view other people's ads or surf the internet to gain view points. The points you add up will be used to show other people your ads.

Now, before I go any further I must say that while this sounds like an easy way to get traffic, and in some cases it can be, this can also be a complete waste of your time. A lot of people advertise some sort of business opportunity or affiliate program. Thats fine, but with 1,000's of people promoting affiliate programs, I suggest you offer something unique. You will get some clicks if you promote a business opportunity, and I'm not saying you shouldn't. But when you're talking traffic exchanges, you want to stand out. That either means you right a killer ad that will get people's attention, or you offer something no one has seen before.

Let's say you have a newsletter and are trying to build a list... discussed earlier... how hard would it be to put together a little squeeze page promoting your newsletter and what all it offers? This is unique and offers something of value, for free! People love free... throw in a bonus to make the incentive even better.

TrafficSwarm is ranked #1 by Website Magazine in their list of "online promotional resources that are actively making a positive difference for their customers and clients."

TrafficSwarm will show your ads in the selected categories that you chose. Your ads will only appear to others that have chosen to look at ads for those categories.

Page Swirl - A site rotator to advertise all of your sites with one URL


Most affiliates have more than one website they are promoting, sometimes a lot. Promoting all of those websites with traffic exchanges can become a hassle, and some traffic exchanges only allow a certain number of sites that you can promote. The answer to this problem is a site rotator... and thats where PageSwirl saves the day.

Tell PageSwirl what web pages you want to advertise. The system then keeps a list of all the URL addresses which you can easily add or delete at any time from the private members area.

Advertise one single URL address! PageSwirl creates your own personal rotator web page. When visitors access the URL, PageSwirl automatically transports them to one of the web pages you've chosen to advertise.

Start Sharing Your Knowledge and Get Involved in Forums 

Forums are a great place to meet people and generate quality traffic to your site

Forums are great in building links to your site. You can post a new topic about something, or join in on a topic and share your expertise. Whenever you add a post, you have the option of having your signature added at the end. Your signature can include a link to your site or another site that you want people to visit. The more posts you have the more links that will be pointing to your site.

Joining a forum not only is a good idea for you to build links to your site, but it also allows you to interact with others about an area of interest so that you can learn from others and also share with them. It's a win-win for everyone. People that view your posts may be interested in what you have to offer in your signature, they receive something of value, even if it's just information, and you get traffic to your site. It is important that you stay professional and be courteous of others in a forum.

Once you get established and earn credibility, the more people will trust you. Over time you may even have the opportunity to become a joint-venture partner with a fellow forum member. If you are not involved in forums you are missing out on an incredible opportunity.

Here are some of the Forums that I use and recommend. At the bottom I list others that would be helpful as well. I know there are a lot of others out there, so do a search and find others you may be interested in.
