There are many ways you to get traffic to your sites, some of them are by using Traffic Exchanges both Automatic and Manual, Link Exchanges, Search Engine Submissions, Free Advertising, Banner Exchanges and Forums and many more.

If you need help to promote your website, products, or services, then there are lots of free ways that you can do this. There are a lot of free traffic exchanges that you can utilize to drive targeted traffic to your sites. Before paying for a good service, check out all the free ways you can advertise first.

Free advertising can be better than most pay for advertising services and not limiting your advertising to one place will give your websites more of a chance to be picked out by the search engines. Once you find your website listed on the search engines, you can then concentrate on getting it listed on the first page of the search results. Most people never look past the first page on search engine results. Being on the first page, preferably number one position on the search engine will get you the most exposure for your websites, products and services.

If you are just beginning to start promoting your online products and services, then make sure you look at all the free ways you can advertise first.

Submitting your websites to the search enines is the most important and vital thing you should start with, almost of your traffic could come from the top three search engines which are in order Google, Yahoo and MSN, if you submit to these three search engines, you will get submitted to all of the 1000 or so other search engines out there, these three make up 90% of all searches on the internet.

Bare in mind that to be featured on these can take up to six months, but it is well worth it.

Something to take note of is if you have a lens created on Squidoo, then you will be listed very fast indeed.

Link Referral

Forums are a really great way to advertise your sites especially if you find a forum on the same subject as you're site, because you will instantly be targeting like minded people.

Just be sure to read the forum and posting rules before starting to advertise your links.

Making Money Forum is a forum that i created to allow members to discuss any ways to make extra money either online or offline, share traffic building tips, share referral building tips, advertise free to join program referral links and much more.
Making Money Forum

If this one is not applicable or you don't like it you can do a google search for any forum on any subject that matches your site.

This is a great way to get targeted traffic to your site from like minded people, posting replies to peoples discussions on these types of discussion sites can greatly increase your traffic and as a bonus a lot of them pay you to post a discussion, to reply to a discussions and pay you for people replying to your discussion.

You also get 25% of a referrals earnings of this one, so do not forget to add your referral URL to your traffic exchanges for this, to increase your earnings.

It works with simple a way, but will never fail. It's similar with other multi level marketing system. More downlines you get, more websites will show your ads, and more visitors you get for your website. This is how the system works:

When you signed up, you will get a website with your ad at the 1st position, and ad at current 1st position will be moved to 2nd position, current 2nd to 3rd, and so on. Ad at current 7th position won't be shown anymore.

When you advertised your website and someone signed up from your link, their ad will be at the 1st position, and yours will be moved to 2nd position. Your ad will be listed in your downlines up until 6 levels deep. With 6 levels viral marketing like this, you can imagine how much traffic you will get.

How Many Visitors Can I Get.

The answes is: unlimited. This system works well in the internet and nothing can stop it. That's the main benefit of this type of internet marketing.

Level Downlines Downlines per level
Level 1 10 10
Level 2 10 x 10 100
Level 3 10 x 10 x 10 1,000
Level 4 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 10,000
Level 5 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 100,000
Level 6 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 1,000,000

There are programs that place a small toolbar on your Web Browser and constantly advertise on it, you submit your ads and they are shown on others peoples toolbars, this is a really great form of advertising a you get credits just for checking your emails and web browsing.

I would recommend Free Traffic Bar and Instant Buzz

It's simple, very little effort to get your sites seen and it runs all the while you have a web browser running while getting constant exposure to your sites and if you use both, you get even more exposure.

Here is a new way to build traffic to a site, you install there screensaver which display other peoples websites when it kicks in and your sites on others PC's, get traffic when not at the PC with this one.

Check it out - Screenblazer

This screensaver traffic builder has even better features built in like, ask your website visitor a question for them to earn extra surfing credits, this will give surfers an incentive to read your site.

Auto Surf Traffic Exchanges.

Auto surfs are programs that you submit your sites to, then you click on Auto surf and your browser will start surfing automatically on sites that are submitted to them, they work on a ratio basis e.g. a 2:1 ratio would be, If you Auto surf two sites, your sites get shown once.
c
Some of them you need to assign a percentage of your hits per site i.e. if you had 5 sites submitted you would probably assign 20% hits to each site to make 100% total and some you need to manually tell how many hits per site you would like.

Do not forgot to include any referral URL's from programs that pay for referrals as this is a great referral building process as you can get referrals while sleeping, if you leave your computer on overnight.

There is a limit to how many sites that you can add on some of these as a free member, some even give you free hits per month.

Here is a small list of Auto Surfs for you to try:-

Smiley Traffic - You can submit 5 sites and need to wait for site approval.

2004 Autohits - You can submit 20 sites and you need to wait for them to manually approve your sites and you get 2004 free hits upon signing up.

Traffic Attitude

This is just a small portion of what is out there.

Manual Traffic Exchanges.

Manual Traffic Exchanges work in a slightly different way, when you surf there is a timer, when the timer reaches zero you click on the corresponding symbol or letter to continue surfing the next page.

You also know that somebody is actually looking at the page you advertise with them and not just leaving it running while away form the PC like you can with an autosurf.

Here are some I would recommed:
