What is the best system to generate traffic without going broke?

On one of the forums that I belong to someone asked, "What is the best system to generate traffic without going broke?". This is a great question. All over the internet there are many people advertising that they have a system the "does it all for you". I'm sure you have seen those too. I can assure you that is a lie. I promise you over the last 6 years I have seen it all and checked out many "systems". Here's what I learned....

There isn't one system or method that will bring you traffic. But there are many ways very inexpensive ways to generate traffic to your site. Mike Dillards Building on a budget course is excellent for newbies learning how to build on a budget.

I use many methods to generate traffic to my sites.

Here are a few of the free methods that I use.

Squidoo is my number 1 method! I get huge traffic and it is free + you can get paid with them.

My second is my blog.

3rd is forums. Just write good content and never advertise. Place you link in your signature. When people like what you write, they will often visit your website to see what you are all about.

I also utilize facebook, twitter and myspace...........all free.

You just need to invest the time and don't ever directly market. Instead build relationships and help others. When people like what you have to say, they will click your link or visit your profile in order to check it out. It's pretty cool.
