Submit articles

I've written lots about the power of submitting articles to ezine editors within your target market. Simply put, it is the best free promotion method I've used in my four years online. You can now automate the submission process completely, thanks to the following websites:

Add your URL to the "must submit" search engines

Sure, you can submit your URL to thousands of sites or have someone do it for you. But the fact is, nearly all my free search engine traffic comes from less than 20 search engines. If you want to take advantage of free traffic from search engines, first make sure your web pages are "search engine friendly" ( learn how to make your web pages search engine friendly at http://bizweb2000.com/confess.htm ) and then, add your URL to all of the search engines below:

http://www.askjeeves.com

Participate in discussions

If you want to stay abreast of internet marketing trends, listen in as other marketers help each other. You can do this at the many internet marketing discussion boards on the web. You can also generate free traffic to your own website by participating in the discussions and helping others occasionally. Here are some of the busiest boards:
