Once you have your website up and running you need to get some visitors to it. Without visitors we can´t make any money, right.

Business Cards
One of the most effective and least expensive ways to get the word out about your web site is by passing out business cards. Just any business card won't due. Think about it; how many business cards have you collected and thrown away in the last year alone? Do you want your's to end up in file 13 also? If you do than what's the point? Make sure your business card will inspire interest in your prospective client's mind and they will take the next step by visiting your web site or calling you.

For a modest $25.00 design fee plus the print & shipping charge, I offer that unique service of creating that special type of business card with in this web site. So follow the link or just check out the Business Card Services tab to the left and open up a truly unique marketing adventure for you and your business.

Search Engines
There are a lot of ways to get your website "out there" and many of the good ways are free. The most obvious to start with will of course be search engines.

Search engines can still bring in a load of traffic to your site and this traffic will be targeted and most often of "good quality". With the amount of web sites on the internet today, it´s not as easy to get good listings on the search engines as it once was, but you should still submit your site to as many as you can. A lot of the search engines work on different formulas how the rank the pages and you might get lucky with some search engine to get a good ranking.

Even if the engines you submit to are smaller it will help getting your site noticed, and one visitor here and there is better than zero visitors at all. When finding search engines to submit to, you could head over to Wikipedia, they have quite an extensive list to get you started.

Social Bookmarks
For those that are not familiar with social bookmarking, this is, simply put a way of saving your bookmarks online with the ability to share them with your friends and people who are interested in similar things. It´s like a community of bookmarkers.

Using social bookmarking sites can drive anywhere from almost no traffic to quite a big heap of traffic to your website. It all depends on how fast word spreads about the content your site is providing. Even if you get almost no traffic from the social bookmark sites, it´s a free source of traffic that will build up over time. The more people who visit your site from the social bookmarks, the more chance there is of the word spreading. And as with the search engines, even if you just get one hit here and there, it´s better than getting no traffic at all.

Today, there are a bundle of social bookmarking sites on the web and a lot of them work differently from each other. I will not go into any of the sites in detail here but just mention them as a source of free traffic that you should not overlook. Luckily, Wikipedia have a list on quite a lot of the social bookmarking sites out there so you can get started.

Article Marketing
Article marketing is when you write an article about a specific topic (preferably related and targeted to your sites content) and you submit the article to the article directories online. Most of the article directories will allow you to put a bio box at the end of your article that can contain a link back to your site. Using article marketing can greatly improve your traffic and search engine exposure, also it will bring you good target traffic that are already interested in visiting your site because they have already had "contact" with your work.

To find some article directories to get you started, you could simply make a search on Google below. The list you get back there should be enough to get you started. - - - Article Source: Anders Fredricsson
