To be frank, paying for advertisements is the easiest and fastest way. But surely there is no harm trying out some free methods. The only concern to be honest is that it may take a bit of time to judge the effectiveness. But it is still worth trying.



1. One good idea which I can think of is to trade links with other similar niche websites. This is a win-win situation. Both link-exchanged sites stand to gain when visitors to either site may have the tendency to click on each other links (vice versa). But, make sure you get a confirmation agreement with other webmaster before you do this. Note that both inbound and outbound links are very important aspect of web traffic.

2. Another great way is to write articles. Try to write articles that provide useful information such as tips or guides related to your niche business. Make the contents as interesting and easy to read as possible. Most importantly, do include your web link so that visitors reading your articles know where to go should they want to visit your site for more information. By doing so, you would generate traffic flowing to your site as time goes. There are many sites, such as isnarearticles,ezinearticles, etc, which provide free articles submission and posting. Try it out.

3. Make good use of keywords and keyword phrases for your site. Make your site as informational, interesting and content rich as possible. Quality content counts too. With the right keywords, it is possible that search engines may place your site on higher rankings, at no costs. But do not overdo it. It is best to maintain an optimal keyword density throughout your web site.

4. Try out online forums. Do discussion and information exchange targeting your niche business. Present to others your fabulous expertise and build trust with other forum members. When people know you have quality stuff, they will make it a point to visit your site regularly. Think of it as free self-advertisement. Remember, being trustworthy is an important trait in every business.

5. Last but not least, provide some kind of newsletter. Make sure you have the latest interesting and informational updates so that visitors will be entice to visit your site regularly, hungry for content. Moreover, people who like your site will definitely recommend it to their colleagues, friends or relatives, thus generating more traffic. And this is exactly what you want, more traffic.
