But not all traffic is equal. And while some methods to generate traffic for free are a pure waste of bandwidth, others will really help you to generate an income.

One easy question you should ask yourself when choosing a method to generate quality traffic is:

Would I pay attention and notice this kind of an ad myself?

If you answer that question with no or most likely not, than chances are that many others will also not notice your ad. And this means it's just a waste of bandwidth as people won't buy what they don't notice.

But if you can answer that question with yes or most likely, then chances are that many others will notice your ad as well. This method will in fact help you to generate an incom^e through quality traffic.

Now, let's take a closer look at several free advertising methods and evaluate their effectiveness.

1. List Building Tools

TheListMachine - http://add2it.com/see.pl?TheListMachine</a>

This free program allows you to advertise via email to twice as many people as you and your downline members have referred to this program.

The unique twist in this list building program is that it builds a second reverse matrix for you of people you couldn't contact otherwise. This way your possible exposure is increased easily.

Members receive email from their upline at their regular email account and not a secondary spam account like it is practice with safelists. This improves the chances of your message actually being read dramatically.

One downside of TLM is that you need initial traffic to build a list. But their unique twist allows you to double your efforts.

Ask yourself the question... do you read and pay attention to well written emails that arrive in your regular mailbox? My answer is most likely.

3. Traffic Exchange Tools

AutoHitsNow - http://add2it.com/see.pl?AutoHitsNow</a>

This free program allows you to generate traffic to your web pages in exchange for you visiting other peoples web pages.

Usually any kind of auto surf program has the problem that most people will not even see your sites and this way they just waste your bandwidth.

AutoHitsNow tries to overcome the problem by offering more credits for manual surfing and a random, but rather often offering of bonus credits during surf sessions that you can only receive if you pay attention.

This easy method of generating traffic will only get the attention of some people. It's more or less a numbers game. Other traffic exchange tools in alphabetical order are...

5. Creating Content Web Pages

Search engine traffic is another very effective source of traffic and highly recommendable. Simply create as many content web pages as you can. The more pages, the more traffic you will get over time.

You can publish your own articles, product reviews, endorsements and much more on your own content web pages.

Tip: To get your new pages faster into Google, the most important search engine, get your home page added to at least one high Google PR page (see: http://toolbar.google.com).</a>

A low cost way of getting your own domain & hosting is GDI. For just $10 a month you don't just get all you need to get started to put your own content web pages online, but also an excellent way to earn yourself an extra incom^e.

A final tip: Once you got into the habit of using free methods of generating quality traffic you will find the following program very helpful. It allow you to promote everything from a single page...
