There are countless ways to advertise your website over the internet. Many of them cost money, but there are also many that don’t cost anything except a little of your time. There have been some extremely successful businesses that have been built with only a few dollars in their advertising budget. The following is a list of what I consider the top five ways to promote your business online and drive targeted traffic to your website.

1. Email joint ventures This is the absolute best way because it is quick, and easy and can get you tons of target traffic which can make you a lot of extra money.

2. Article writing If you write ten articles and place them on ten websites with a link to your site, within a few weeks you’ll have thousands of inbound links to your site.

3. Search engine traffic Both free and paid search engines are a good way to get lots of traffic. It usually takes a little while to get free traffic from search engines, so if you’re just starting out, you might want to pay for it.

4. Online advertising This encompasses things like banner ads, ads in ezines, text ads, PPC ads and more.

5. Press releases Sending out a press release to the media is another great way to promote your site. Distribution methods are both free and paid.
