Here’s what I do for traffic, free promotion is crucial for your financial state, make sure you do enough of free promotion rather then paid promotion, here we go, free promotion 101:
Social Traffic
- Stumbleupon : Really effective and massive traffic if used on good content, relvant traffic.
- Digg : This one’s good for lists and creative sites, all you need is something unique to make it here.
- Twitter : You can get really awesome results if you have good content hand and an addictive life.
- Delicious : Bookmark your sites, if they are really good, they’ll get huge traffic.

- Using relevant forums to get some traffic your way is a good way to get traffic as well, even if it’s a signature link.
- Myspace/Facebook could be optimized to send traffic your way if you are a big mover and shaker on there, it’s all about your influence on your target audience on a given medium.
- Contests are always a good choice if you can pull together some noticable sponsors, everyone benefits from contests, the author, the applicants and the sponsors, it’s a perfect win/win situation.
Mass Social Bookarmking – Check out my post on hellotxt, it’s really helpful.
Link based
- Link exchange is a good way to get some traffic coming in – long term.
- Article submission, guest posts and various other methods can be used to get traffic as well.
- Any/Every link counts, so never stop link building, every link sends atleast 10 uniques a month avg, the more unique links you get the more overall traffic you’ll have.
Resources
- Free tools and resources are really popular among our community of webmasters, free resources get links and traffic at the same time.
- FAQs, Descriptions and Instructions also get alot of references in other sites/blogs, these are a good way to get pr along with traffic and links.
- How-to type articles are something that seem to be on a rise these days, from technology to food to music, anything you can think of, if you’re good at it, explain it, you just might make it!

This list is formidable. So I am sure will be the time one needs to spend on this project. How does one manage that?

Do you outsource this work or is there a tool to hit them all quickly? what do think about tools like socialmarker.com, BMD, etc.?

Great List! Thanks for sharing, I’m going to work my way down through them.

This is a great list, thanks for sharing, It will probably take a while to submit to those sites but I’m sure its worth it
October 8th, 2008 at 3:21 am
It is a great list. However, I just wondering that do i need to subscribe the link to all social media that you list. I will take me hell long.
October 8th, 2008 at 5:00 am
Thanks for the list. It is a great list and very useful to an website owner.
October 8th, 2008 at 6:06 am
Wow That’s an impressive list you have built up.
October 8th, 2008 at 6:08 am
When you talk about Social Media how do you build your networks on facebook and such sites?
October 9th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Indeed a usefull post cheers
October 10th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Oh good some sites I haven’t used yet. I usually narrow it down to about ten and work the ones that work.
October 11th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Wow, that’s one heck of a list you put together! Thanks for sharing. I’ve always been a little dubious of link exchanges but I’d love to know your thoughts on them.
October 15th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
There is an overabundance of sites listed here, and those 4 main ones are listed at the beginning. Possibly in the near future, one of the others on the list will fit into the category of those top 4 as it becomes useful.
October 18th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
wow, how long does it take to submit a post in all into these. amazing, are there any way to do all of these submissions automatically?
