When I first started out with FreeTrafficDirectory.com I was just trying to win a bet. Some colleagues bet me that I couldn’t get my site in Alexa’s Top 100K, get spidered and included by Google, create and sell a profitable product, and get a PR of at least 3 in 90 days spending less than $100. I won in 34 days flat, and if memory serves I spent less than $30, including my hosting fees.
I couldn’t use Google AdWords, I couldn’t solicit people from my other sites to visit, and I couldn’t go on a reciprocal link campaign. I had to get my visitors as if I was just starting out for the first time and do these things as if I was nearly broke.
One of the primary tools I was able to use was the traffic exchange method. I quickly learned that all of them are not created equal. I’ll go a bit further into this on Thursday. In the meantime, here is a list of the ones I joined.
