Well when it comes to website marketing there are a lot of options.  One of the easiest and most popular was to promote anything is Digg.  Even if your story does not get dugg you still get some traffic from the post.  For some people this little traffic means nothing, but if your site does not get a lot of traffic then it helps out.  As you can see above I’ve gotten 19 hits from the digg submission.  You may think that is nothing, but even if 1 person out of that 19 click your ads that will bring your CTR up.  This is great for niche sites that do not get a lot of traffic.  There are a few different types of free marketing websites, the first is news sites.  The biggestest out of these are Digg, Slashdot, and Netscape.  Slashdot is a bit different because if you submit something it has to be approved and posted, and they only post like 20 items a day so good luck getting posted there.  Besides news sites there are social networking websites.  On these sites you can make a profile for free for what you are trying to promote.  You can even send messages to people letting them know about your site/product.  These sites include Myspace, Friendster, and Mindviz.  So those are some great forms of free marketing.  Remember every link to your site helps!  We will go into paid marketing soon!
