I feel the most effective way to get people to link to your
web site is by offering web masters the option of giving
away your free stuff. In exchange, they link to your web
site. Why would other web masters want to do this? They
may want give away a freebie to draw traffic to their web
site. They also may not have the time, knowledge or skills
to give away certain types of electronic freebies from their
web site.

Your links will just keep multiplying. When a web master
offers your freebie to his or her visitors. Those visitors may
decide to also give away your freebie. And so on and so
on... The more people that link to your web site the more
traffic you'll get. Below are four of the most popular types
of freebies given away on the internet to increase traffic.

Free Software

Offer free software from your web site. The software could
be freeware, shareware or demos.

Free Online Services

Offer a free online service from your web site. The online
service could be an e-mail account, search engine submission
or e-mail consulting, etc.

Free Information

Offer valuable free information from your web site. The
information could be a report, article, e-book, online audio
recording or e-mail course, etc.

Free Affiliate Program

Offer a free affiliate program from your web site. The
affiliate program could be pay per sale, click through,
two tiered, etc.


Now, I know, there are many other ways to get links
like trading or exchanging links with other web sites or
joining a banner exchange. You can also do joint ventures
or cross promoting. I feel these are not as effective as
multiplying your links. I hope this article can help you
increase traffic to your web site.
