There are several basic low-budget and no-budget ways that websites and web publications can get reasonably expect to more exposure in 2010.
While the objective remains the same – get in your prospects email, search, news or related favorite online hangouts – the methods by which you’ll be achieving those objectives shift from year to year.
- Leverage Business Relationships
- Create Affiliate-Powered or Referral-Powered Promotions with Incentives
- Get Ranked Well in Google and Yahoo/Bing
- Leverage Other minor Google/Yahoo properties for better search and direct traffic
- Get Regular Exposure in Google News
- Build Great Blogger Relationships (whether or not you’re presently a blogger)
- Get Click Traffic from Twitter, Ping.Fm, and other more topical status update tools, or more audience-focused micro-blogging applications
- Get Click Traffic, Article Views and Build Relationships Both Within and Around Facebook and other Social Networking Applications
- Get Publicity in Other Major Publications and Mid-Level Industry Publications
- Create a Video Following
- Create a Podcast Following
- Shift Towards Bizstreaming (without dropping Blogging)
- Integrate document sharing, slidecasting, and other multi-media social sharing tools
- Find or Found Appropriate Community Networks that integrate online tools with offline life
- Tighten-up In-house interest lists, follow-up, intro offers and backend sale
- Value-exchanges for attention, based in social currency on the social media sites that are built for content exposure, such as StumbleUpon
- Economically-sound Advertising
Throughout January we’ll be dedicating anywhere from a couple of days to an entire week on all of these topics, then we’ll come back and re-cap with a round-up and links to more resources.
Until then, the one thing you need to remember about traffic is the same thing as before: the game hasn’t changed – the tools are just getting better.

We have several sites and the SEO hasn’t changed much. If you start with good old fashioned hard work, such as article marketing your site will gain speed over time. Nothing is fast nowadays. Keep writing relevant content, publishing articles and submitting press releases and your site will eventually dominate.

hey
Not only does this ‘link popularity contest’ help you obtain better rankings from search engines, but it’s sure to result in exponential revenue
Gosh, how true it is that promotion takes more time than content creation. I’m exhausted after reading this list
But there are definitely some gems in here that I need to read up on…like bizstreaming…don’t even know what it is. Maybe I’ll blog about it before it replaces my blogging 
Thx for the comprehensive list. –Richard
YOUR BLOG’S WRITTING IS VERY NICE.THANK YOU
very helpfull blog.thank you.
“Create a Video Following“
i think that very helpful
i will try to do 1 next week
LOL that’s the first time anyone has ever said that after two years. The traffic *methods* are free. Having me teach them to you? Not so much. But like it says there, all the same tips are here free under “How to Get Free Traffic” for anyone to go and learn how to use. But it’s kind of like getting a book and trying to learn surgery on your own and going to medical school. In the end it’s all about how valuable your time is and how serious you are about your business.
No problem. Please be sure and let me know when you do so I can be a fan of both!
