• Get listed in as many of the major search engines as you can.

• Trade links with other web sites like yours. If you are promoting your homepage, try trading links with other people's homepages.

• Install a "Tell-A-Friend" or "Recommend This Site" script so that visitors may easily tell their friends about your product or service. There are many sources in the Internet that offer 3rd party scripts that all that is required of you is to insert the HTML code into your web page(s).

• Try using a banner exchange service, which will let you advertise your site on other sites. The catch is you have to display a banner on your page as well. Target your banner towards the audience that you feel more likely to find your product or service useful to them.

• Sign other people's guestbooks, and get one of your own. Not everyone will return your visit, but it works well when they do.

• Apply for some web site or homepage awards. Some of these will link back to your site if you are one of the award winners.

• Create your own web page award. When someone wins, they post your award picture which links back to your site.

• Tell all of your friends about it.....Word of mouth can be a great way to get more visitors.

• Add your web address to your e-mail signature. This lets your e-mail contacts find you on the web if they need to.

• Add your site to a "free for all links page". This may or may not help a whole lot, but you do get to see a really long list of links.

• Of course, you can pay another site to display your advertisement. The cost of this depends on the amount of traffic their site gets and their method of billing.
