“Free Advertising” - sounds good doesn’t it. A lot of so called free advertising is free for a reason, and that is that it’s useless. There is however a number of programs and methods out there that deliver top quality traffic to your site, all 100% free.
The following is a list of what I believe are the best sources and methods for obtaining that wonderful thing called ‘free advertising’.
1) BlogRush
It’s no secret that I love this program - I think it is one of the best things to hit internet marketing in a long time. It’s really simple and very effective.
This is somewhat similar to BlogRush - not as good in my humble opinion, but certainly good enough to be worth your time.
This is a free forum run by Russel Brunson. You get all the usual benefits of forum posting (i.e. the link in your signiture tag that points back to your website), but you also get to post ads that run along the top of the forum. The amount your ad shows is proportional to your activity in the forum - each forum post gets your ad shown 1,000 times.
4) InstantBuzz
This tool has been around for a while now and has really proven itself. It is a toolbar that installs in your browser and rotates ads (within the toolbar itself). As your surf, you generate impressions for your own ad, which is shown on other peoples browsers. I’ve personally found this tool very effective.
5) Article Marketing
This is a very effective method of generating links and visitors to your site. Basically you write an article (or have it written for you) and post it to the article directories e.g. EzineArticles.com. In the author’s biography box, you add a link to your site, and ‘hey presto’, you have a back link and potential visitors. This gets really good when other people start putting your article on their sites, generating more links and visitors.
One resource I highly recommend on article marketing is the bummarketingmethod.com
I hope you find these resources useful - I certainly have

Great post, I can agree with a couple though, the 2 I don’t agree with is blogrush
and instantbuzz, those don’t drive any real traffic to your website, just traffic
impression on their network.
