I need to increase traffic to my website, are there any free services for this?

I have found most of the really easy and free stuff to be nearly worthless.

I fully agree :-)

Instead of, you may focus to expanding contents of your own website to attract more visitors, write a blog (if this is an option for you), participate in forums and discussion boards affiliated to your business, build an own affiliate program (not just join a big affiliate network).

Finally - if you have some time left - you may submit your site to several FFA directories. But beside UCE (also known as "spam"), you may not get much results.

Email Marketing is one of my favorite ways to make money online – in fact in a lot of ways, it is the only way I make money online. Sure, people buy things from my sales pages, but they get to my sales pages via my email marketing.

No problem with e-mail marketing as long as it is "permission marketing". And the best way to do so is to allow your website visitors to subscribe to your newsletters. However this is nothing that can be quickly achieved, since it takes some time to have enough addresses collected that you get sufficient response rates.

I always have some headache about mailing list renting or commercial services, since the origin of these e-mail addresses is often unclear.

@bransmithe: Which method are you using ? Can you tell us a bit more about your achieved response rates and earnings ?

I am trying an experiment this month. I signed up on Online_sweepstakes DOT com and advertised a sweepstakes but newsletter registration is required. So far I've gotten about 200 people signed up. And to keep them from "opting out" as soon as they get the first newsletter, I am announcing the winners in the next edition. I'll be happy is I can keep about 10-15% of those people on the list after the contest.

Interesting, please keep us informed :-)
