I've been promoting online for awhile using paid and free methods of advertising, and my favorite is message boards and forums. What is your favorite way to promote that doesn't cost any money. Please describe some of the successes that you have had using the method.Am very eager to hear all the answers as I am sure there are many experienced marketers here. Thanks!

Hello,beautyqueen,I think there are few ways to promote your sites at no cost,if you have a blog, the best way may be the traffic exchange site which may lead to increase numbers of vistors into your website and there may be more people join under your links.
I had joined few of the traffic exchange sites and i got few referrals,however,they were all inactive,but at least it is a good way to find some referrals,whether they are active or not depends on your luck though.

Plugboards are the easiest way to get more hits. Here's a list of plugboards if you want to use them:

Hi beautyqueen26. When you need to get the word out about your site, there are plenty of free methods to choose from. I've only recently discovered the message boards and forums and have been having some success with the sites I discuss there. I have also had success with numerous free traffic exchanges, banner exchanges, and safelists.
There has even been one flyer campaign that went quite well. I designed and printed the flyers myself so I was using supplies I already had and it only took a few hours to distribute them. I was quite impressed with my balance in the site I was promoting. After that, I reduced the flyer to business card size for anytime use. It's kept the ball rolling, lol. :)

Actually I would submit my site and blogs to search engines. Then if someone wants to exchange links with me, I would, because that would help my ranking. Also, I would get enrolled in technorati or social bookmarking sites hopefully to get more exposure. And I would promote in Yahoo Answers (it doesn't cost anything). I average have around 100+ people come to my site, but I want more, and I will definitely try to find more ways to promote my site. I will share if I find some effective methods.
