So here are 10 surefire free traffic techniques:

This tip is so obvious it will not even be counted, but it is often overlooked : submit your site to the major search engines (Google, yahoo, msn) and to as many other search engines as you can.

1. Use this proven Bummarketing technique, write 5 to 10 articles and submit them to the free article directories. Off course you must include a link to your site in the article itself or in your bio box. The articles should be optimized for a keyword your site is targeting.

2. Find blogs related to your topic and leave useful comments with a backlink to your site. In the same way you could go to answers.yahoo.com, and answer questions related to your site’s topic. Off course put a link to your site in each of your answers. Another thing you should consider, is joining the most popular forums that deal with you site's topic and becoming an active poster. Include a link to your site in your signature. Write a press release about your site and submit it to press release sites such as prweb.com. If you are not familiar with press releases, take some time to do a little research : a press release is not written like an article.

4. If you are happy with a product or service you have used, write an unbiased testimonial and trade it for a backlink to your site.

5. Start a blog on blogger.com and a blog on wordpress.com, link them to your site and submit them to the hundreds of free blog directories.

6. Try posting ads with a link to you site on all the free classified ad site you can find (such as craigslist.com). The best ones will allow you to post a live link.

7. An easy way to get a extra more free traffic is to add a link to your site in your email signature.

8. Start a page on myspace.com and on any other high page rank social bookmarking site you can find.

9. Submit a viral video to youtube.com.

10. Search your main keywords on Google and see if you can exchange reciprocal links with related websites that come up in the top results. Then submit it to all the free ebook directories you can find online. If you find a good available domain, grab it and redirect the traffic to your site.

Now all this looks like a full time job ! Invest 30mn to an hour daily in building your free traffic. Then step to your next favorite technique and within a few weeks you should be earning enough money to afford to buy traffic and concentrate your time and efforts on building your online business.
