AutoSurfing

A great method to bring in tons of completely uninterested traffic.

Article Marketing (A Subset of Link Building)

Writing articles about your topic of interest and sending them out to article directories, other websites, and eZines to publish is an almost ideal way to gain free advertising. I really can’t recommend it enough for long-term link building campaigns. All you need is time & writing skills for this self-compounding method to make your website one of the most respected and authoritative sites on the net.

I realize that this method has been out in the open and even done to death over the last couple of years, however I find that a lot of people who have tried Article Marketing quickly give it up before seeing any success.

It seems that everyone sets out writing articles, no matter if they do it themselves or pay someone to do it for them, by submitting one or two articles to the main article directories found in the more popular article submission software suites, such as Jason Potash’s Article Announcer. (Not free, really top-of-the line stuff)

Some sort of article submission software is pretty much necessary because it can take a long time to submit an article to even a handful of websites… The automation that these softwares offer are not just ‘set-it and forget it,’ you will most definitely still have to go to each site and make sure it populates all the right fields properly.

Affiliate Programs

If you have a website that sells a product online, and you’ve built in a fair amount of room into your price for it, then you have an opportunity to use a GREAT free traffic source.

In fact, running your own Affiliate Program helps you out in more ways than one. By signing up affiliates to go out and sell your product for you, you’ll not only build a huge salesforce, (assuming you make your offer tempting for them) but you will also be building hordes of one-way, targeted links back to your website as they advertise in the various places.

Drawbacks?

You must be persuasive to get an interested following to do some serious selling for you. It can also be slow to get all those links built up, but link building is just a side benefit anyway.

To overcome this issue, simply build more room into your price so that the monetary gain for your affiliates is too tempting for them to refuse. 50% commissions are quite standard these days on informational products, with some products go all the way up to 100% commission structure, so that the seller can build up a newsletter list.

Preface

Advertising your business effectively on the internet is the most important skill to learn for any online business to survive.

So why is it so difficult to find the effective advertising sources you need?

I probably don’t have to tell you that the internet is full of free advertising. It comes in many forms, from websites that advertise other websites, to text-box ads on the sides of pages, to spyware, spam, blogs, & auto-surfing… There are almost too many ways to get visitors to your website, because creative entrepreneurs are figuring out new ways to do it almost weekly now.

It has grown so large in fact that there are even many FREE ways to get traffic to your website. Legitimate traffic for free… And plenty of it, too. This represents an awesome opportunity for new business owners without a huge advertising budget.

That’s what this Encyclopedia is all about. I’ve spent years exploring, building, and testing these resources, and I’m going to share them all with you today. I’m even going to review them all for you with quick-glance indicators that reflect each free traffic source’s:

         Quantity (How many visitors.)
         Quality (How Targeted the Visitors are to your niche.)
         Time to Delivery (How fast all of your traffic will arrive.)

They will be rated on a scale of one to five, 5 being the best possible. A Zero rating means that it’s not applicable.
