ezines are the best. I'm partial to associated content as you get $$$ for your content as well as traffic to your site and they rank pretty high. In google, I can usually get top 5 for at least a month before I need to re-hash. This is without having miollions of backlinks. I backlink on my site as well as on 1 blog with my ezines and still get good rankings.

Quoting: ateamfuntimer Ive been getting a good stream of traffic from a few exchanges lately.
I guess that traffic is always a good thing but the real question here is.... Are you making any money?????

Great question and the answer is yes. My business is different than most. You see I offer business coaching, internet marketing service, lead generation as well as my paid and free opportunity in Coastal Vacations.
I think we have to really take a look at what business you are trying to generate sales for. Understand that some business are set up to have the person buy when they get to your site and some have longer sales cycles. They are more relationship sales. The goal is really to get people to your information. What you do with the traffic after you get it really separates the people in internet marketing.
So to answer your question directly yes. But im a different breed than most. I really think that every business is different but the one common thread is that we all need customers. The more the better. If sales is all a numbers game id rather have 10% of 1000 than 10% of 100.
In the past few weeks ive really seen that if you have a free product or a suite of free things you can build a client list to market other products to in the future. Why not use free traffic and advertising to give away free things. I see that as a smart business decision. Then when you make some money selling your end product reinvest money into more exposure. Just a thought.

Quoting: CSGWAHM One thing that really works is just promoting YOU, not your business per say. Press releases are a great way to get free traffic, too. Don't be afraid to get creative!

Has VIDEO been mentioned? I don't think it has. Wow....I cannot think of a better medium for totally free advertising. I guess some people are scared to death to do a video. I was the first time I did. But now, I get traffic 24/7 from people that already feel like they know me...they like me...and trust me.
Good thread.
Peace

Forums, Articles, Free Classifieds are many ways of free advertising. But I am sure paid advertising will get you the right traffic to you.

There are a ton of ways to use free traffic sites. Social networks, free ads, free marketing, free traffic exchanges just to name a few. But if you don't know the basics of marketing, then it will be very tough. I like press releases and social networks.

Your question was "what is the BEST free advertising"
Short answer is all the free advertising is good but not the BEST way to advertise.
Unless you are talking about free ads on craigslist BUT trying to get your ad to stay on craigslist is a challenge in itself.
The best free advertising is your list, article advertising, press releases.
But BEST paid targeted advertising is in my sig line.

How about safelists? ViralUrl the paid not free membership also brings in some good targeted traffic. Listjoe's as well again not the free membership,but the paid membership. I have had some good results here.
