I am not only looking for Free ways to market my website, but ways that really work in sending traffic please...not much money starting out!

I would suggest social networks and blogs. Most of them are completely free and you can put in Keywords in blogs so that they will show up in optimized search engines, such as google.

I'm not sure what your target audience is or what type of site you are marketing, but you can always search for the ideal users on most websites and send out mass communication, equipped with your link - for FREE!

GOOD LUCK

Building a popular website is a pretty tough objective, and I recommend approaching the problem from lots of different angles.

Many people may suggest advertising, but I think advertising is only normally a good idea if you are selling something. If you are providing free content, then there are better ways to go.

Do a search for the various web directories and submit your site for inclusion in them. http://dir.yahoo.com/ If you don't get accepted, improve your website and try submitting again later.

Submit your website to all the major search engines so that they can begin indexing it. Google's address is: http://www.google.co.uk/addurl/?continue=/addurl You'll also want to add your site to Yahoo, Ask and MSN/LIVE and the other search engines should pick up your site when they crawl the net.

There are two other key parts to getting high traffic. The first is getting noticed, and for this you need to have lots of inbound links so that your page rank with the search engines is higher.

To accomplish this to start with you could offer link exchanges with other sites, use your various web accounts to advertise your site - and if you post in forums, add your site to your signature, especially if it is relevant to the forum's topic. If sites offer comment boxes to stories which are relevant to your site, make a response that includes your website. Also consider answering questions on Yahoo answers with links to your site when it is appropriate. However a word of warning. Don't spam or shamelessly self promote because this annoys people.

The second part is creating good content. People searching on the net are hungry for good stuff and they are pretty good at spotting it. If your website has valuable information/content it will organically rise in popularity as more people link to it and recommend it.

Also update often. To attract repeat visitors consider offering a newsletter or web feed.

Finally there are numerous web resources on this topic if you want some more ideas, so do some web searches for inspiration. A reasonable starting point is Pavlina's article: http://www.problogger.net/

Good luck.

I could explain this to you but I'd rather give you the link so you can see it for yourself. It is totally free and will get you a lot of traffic to your website. I have used it myself so I'm confident in it. Try it out and I really hope it helps you as much as it helped me. =)

Every successful website needs traffic, and my site didnt have much traffic. I started talking to this guy who sells traffic and he convinced me to buy some visitors. I was sceptical, but the result was fantastic! Very good traffic, indeed. The link is here: http://www.realtrafficsource.com/ts.htm
