Now, Mr. Gupta, that is something I had to grapple with too, sitting here by myself all these months with just a parrot to keep me company. Not that Bubbles bores me - perish the thought - he's just not very good at coming up with ideas.

But, anyway, to answer your question, there are four options I can think of. Firstly, WebRings. They help increase traffic, use simple navigation bars, create concentrations of similar sites, and develop online communities too. Bubbles frequents some on African grey parrots. He says they remind him of old college crushes, though I suspect he's just addicted to ogling.

For fast, easy and free promotion, banner exchanges are also a good idea. You can opt for multiple banners, check out advanced statistics and do lots more depending on which exchange you pick.

Link exchanges and search engine submissions are also great. I swear by these methods too, primarily because, as I have found out, answering all kinds of queries regularly doesn't pay much. Which is why I can't afford to advertise my many services. Spread the word around, will you?

WEB RESOURCES:

To start one, you have to find out what WebRings are first, then go on to something like Yahoo! WebRings, which lets you join, create or find one matching your interests. According to Bubbles, CrickRock is also hot.

While 123Banners is a free public service, World Banner Exchanges (WorldBE) offers a lot more options. And, if both don't satisfy, there's always the Yahoo! Banner Exchange page to browse through.

The links on banner exchange here tell you how you can increase traffic to your site by 65 per cent. You can also run through some exchanges listed here or here.

Search engine submissions are probably the most inexpensive way of driving traffic to your site. Strategic Solutions and The Webmasters could do it for you, but at a price. Better still, why not check out these URL Submission Pages yourself?

There are lots more tips to boost site traffic and market your stuff for free, along with free promotional tools, programs and even some valid criticism.

Try these out and, if all goes well, I'll probably hear a lot more about your online endeavours in future.
