25. Traffic Exchanges - Advertising where each click on your website will make a click on someone elses.
26. Use Link Exchange websites (a bit out of date now)
27. Use WebRing websites, link in with those that are related to your topic (also a bit out of date now, but might be relevant for your category)
28. Create a group on yahoo, etc. on the subject of what you do.
30. Chat. Talk with people on IRC, ICQ, MSN, Skype, etc. about your product. DO NOT spam, thats a bad move, ease yourself in there slowly.
31. Buying traffic in bulk - there are websites that will sell you 1000’s of visitors for a very good price.
32. Write a glowing testimonial of a product, and get them to include your name and website.
33. Sponsor someone else’s mailing list! Its a great way to get traffic, and it will be targeted as well.

Dang 13013 thats a long list

[breakers22]

I need more ideas Im writing a guide!!!

[Eric Sherman]

Breakers, learn how to edit posts. It's annoying and your spamming the forum because apparently a high post count is important to you. This isn't the first thread you've done this either.

[breakers22]

Sorry Eric I didnt know you could delete posts until now... Thanks :thumbs

[Eric Sherman]

You can't delete them, you just can add to them at any time you want. If you were the last person to post in the topic it is expected on almost 99% of moderated forums out there (this forum isn't moderated, at all...) that you edit posts.

[breakers22]

You can delete posts look I just deleted 4 or 5. You click edit post and next to cancel press delete
