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.

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.

This is a great linking strategy that will bring many one way incoming links to your website. The search engines look at these sites and find your website links you have place in there.

There are hundreds of link directories out there so doing it manually one site at a time can be tough. Having software to help you do this can save a great amount of time.  I highly recommend that you get this free software that will submit to all the best directories. It can be upgraded to submit to more but the free version will submit to hundreds for you. Click here to download Directory Submitter. Make it a part of your marketing strategy for every website you have.

It began as a small bulletin board between friends in San Francisco. It has become one of the largest and currently ranked #52 on Alexa. It has accomplished this by providing an easy way to submit a classified ad specific to your area. You can go to Craigslist.org and select the nearest large city.

It works great to place your ad on Craigslist. Select your city then look for “small biz ads” You should place your ad on at least the top 5 largest cities and make sure to change the ad because Craigslist doesn’t like duplicates.

You need to start with a blog search by going to http://search.blogger.com or http://www.icerocket.com. After you found the blog in your niche, you should save it in your favorites so you can visit often.

Look around for a question that you will be able to answer. Don’t post a comment that will seem like an advertisement or it might be considered blog spam the blog owner will delete it. The key is to provide good feedback while providing the link back to your site. You should always offer helpful advice.

This method will pay off in the long run. The search engines and people will find your links. Be consistent and make a few comments every day.
