You can start getting targeted traffic to your website or affiliate link in a few minutes using a traffic bar. The two most popular ones are Instant Buzz and Free Traffic Bar. They allow internet marketers to market to other internet marketers. They are very easy to setup and use. Basically you build up credits by surfing websites that you are already going to but this time you get ad credits that will display your ad on someone else’s browser. The ads are simple one liner text ads but can be enhanced somewhat like color or text style. You will have to check with each to see what they allow. The quality of targeted traffic you get from these is excellent because most people that have these bars installed are internet marketers.

There are many great forums online for just about any niche. You should find as many popular ones you can in your niche. This is a vital strategy for your online marketing efforts. Start searching for the most active forums here http://www.big-boards.com

The smaller forums are harder to find but simply searching google for “forum” will help you get started. Get focused and search for your top keyword phrase and just add the word forum at the end.

What all these forums allow you to do is post what is called a signature. Most people will put their name or something about them in their signature. What you want to do is put an ad and a link to your url. Then every time you make a post in that forum your signature file will show up at the bottom of your post. The more free posts you make the more times your url shows up and the more likely someone will click on your link, especially if your posts are positive and helpful. This is also a way to establish yourself as a real person on the internet, which people seem to respond better to than just an ad.This is a great way to learn about marketing online as well as promote your url.

Goal: Make 5 quality posts in at least 1 forum a day.
