Its a multitude of ways like below:

Advertising and Marketing

Search The World – Website Index

It’s rarely an instant return on the Internet. You need your website coming up relevant to what people "search for" on the Internet. It takes time to get placement in the right places within the Internet and if you’re listed in the right category of searches you stand a better chance of returns. The following is one of the better ways.

For a small charge you can have a “Permanent” website advertisement placed in an index such as this in a choice of around 750 categories to target your business trade.
A Permanent listing means getting permanent indexing by search engines.

This will raise your website profile and increase its chances of extra sales because this site is indexed by the search engines placing your site within "public searches".

The advantage of a site like this is that you don’t have to update your listing again.
For a permanent ongoing promotion:
www.search-the-world.com/form/listing

This will only cost you $6.00 for a permanent listing that will eventually get picked up in search engine searches. You can also get a much higher profile permanent advertisement as well for $20.00. You never have to list or pay with them again.
I found free advertising sites don’t work very well but this one off payment site does.
If you don’t believe me type in “search-the-world.com” into the Yahoo search box and you’ll see thousands of links returned. This site really works and its probably the best kept secret around!

Search The World Articles

By using their new free articles site:
www.search-the-world.com/articles
You can add articles about products, services or things you know about and add your website url details at the bottom of each. And these get picked up by RSS feeds and get distributed through other sites and through the Internet. You can add as many articles as you like for free. It’s all Free advertising and marketing for you!

Search The World Free Stores & Auctions

This is a Free store and auction site from them:
www.search-the-world.com/auctions
You get your own shopping store where you can sell either by auction or just like a regular store at “Buy Now” prices. You get your own store Url which you then need to promote yourself to get more customers etc. Promote your store Url just like you would any other form of business and build up your customer base from there. You can use Paypal. Works just like Ebay but you pay no selling fees and its all 100% free to use.

This website is great for web advertising. It’s a free targeted advertising (based on you selecting various categories you would like to be included in) and link exchange network. You put other websites text ads on your page and yours appears on others. And it really is 100% free, forever. While it’s not something that guarantees traffic it also doesn’t cost anything, so why not try it?

Good luck!

Each owner of a web based business no doubt already understands the importance of building website traffic. The amount of website traffic you are able to generate can have a profound impact on everything from direct sales of products and services to affiliate income and ad based revenue. It is important for every would be web based entrepreneur to take the time to research the pros and cons of various traffic building strategies.

One of the most interesting, and potentially most profitable, ways to generate additional website traffic and potentially additional income as well, is to include a Google search bar on your website. Providing a Google search bar can be a great compliment to an existing Google AdSense revenue stream, and it can provide additional “stickiness” as well. This stickiness is a great way to keep visitors to your website there long enough to see what you, and your advertisers, have to offer.

The ability to keep the attention of casual website visitors is one of the most critical factors to the success of any web based business. Studies have shown that the majority of website visitors get an impression of a website within a matter of seconds, and they may click away just as fast if they do not like what they see. A prominently displayed Google search bar provides a familiar item on which those visitors can focus their attention during those crucial first few seconds on your website.

In addition to its ability to retain the attention of website visitors, the Google search bar is able to appeal to a wide variety of internet users. No matter what subject these visitors are interested in, chances are good that they will be able to find what they need on the Google search bar. This wide reach allows website visitors to quickly and easily find the information they need, while enhancing the usefulness and user friendliness of the website on which the search bar appears.

Getting traffic is a combination of a lot of things. The key to success is to create great content that visitors want to use, search engines will love and other websites will naturally link to. Of course, it’s easier said than done.

You can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products. You can use Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:

1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement – if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important — and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more – that’s additional traffic that you get for FREE!

Recommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Big Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml
CGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Hostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com’s "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.

Here is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481

6. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:

Craigslist http://www.craigslist.com
Google Base http://base.google.com
Classifieds for Free http://www.classifiedsforfree.com/…
Text Link Exchange http://www.txtswap.com/
Recycler.com http://www.recycler.com/
Yahoo Classifieds http://classifieds.yahoo.com/
US Free Ads http://www.usfreeads.com/
Kijiji http://www.kijiji.com/

Hey i’m in the same boat as you, started a few months ago and as you know when you first start out traffic is appauling.

You can use SEO methods and article writing but they are too slow and not guaranteed to work.

Google Adwords is obviously the best way, but you can be losing a lot of money if you are in a competitive market because the bids on your keywords will be high, and you could be paying for clicks when people don’t even stay long on your website or participate.

I’m using this technique ; http://www.getrichrevealed.com/Google_Ads.html

It’s helped me within a few days get free google ads without having to pay Adwords, payed itself off within 3 days.

I’ve currently got a rank on google with my most competitive keyword thread at #5 due to it, hope it helps you.

There are a lot of traffic exchange programs on the net. You could try to do some research.

Recently I’ve made a movie about internet marketing, I think you should have a look at it
