Free methods of getting traffic

[Sobi]

I have seen posting asking about how to get traffic to their sites, here I am sharing my free and effective methods of getting traffic:

1) Blog commenting
2) Forum signature
3) Join Top Sites Lists
4) Surf at traffic exchanges for free traffic in return
5) Join banner exchange
6) Post videos on YouTube, watermark it with your site's URL and also put a link back in the description
7) Give away free ebooks with links in them

Hope this helps.

These are really great tips.

For me, best free method of getting traffic is by promoting in relevant forums. It worked for me and I am sure it works for many others.

Another way of free method of getting traffic is making a Twitter account and using it to post updates about your forum or blog. It's helped me to get more traffic and it's helped me to get more members too. Social media has grown and that gives you more chances of growing your forum or blog.

How do you join Top Sites Lists?

Facebook groups works well for me. Almost real time traffic. Additionally, you can consider co-op advertising to draw traffic and it is pretty cheap compared to paying the ads charges individually.
