How does one advertise their blog/website without actually advertising it?

[Webpeon]

That all depends on how soon you are wanting to attract visitors and how much you are willing to spend.

The free, slower way...
Learn seo and push your website to the top of googles search results for keywords related to your blog and get free ongoing traffic. Huge learning curve and then there is the time to actually get your blog to the top but long term this'll pay for itself.


The paid, start today way...
Utilise facebooks targeted advertising, set your budget and watch visitors flow in as early as tomorrow. To make this worthwhile you need to have a way of making money from those visitors once they get to your blog.

Just to put things in perspective I pay about .25c a click for one of my facebook ads, that converts about 1 in 20 visits, so I am paying about $5 to make a sale which is easily covered by my profit on the sale, runs on autopilot, easy to setup (once you know how), set your own budget, doesn't get much easier really.

IF you do decide to take the facebook advertising option be sure to check out my 6 step video tutorial guide on how to research and create facebook ads that work in the link below...

Have you tried link building using social networking. I increased my site traffic after 3-4 weeks

Social media sites are shoe ins for traffic flow but also look at forums with your niche in them. Make a Signature with a link back to your blog and use it on all your post. The key is to make each post a good one.
