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.
