You can succeed massively in your site promotion efforts even if you don't have a big budget. There are things you need to understand and apply if you want to do this right without spend much or even a dime.

But before we go further, let me stress this point: It's not always a smart idea to refuse to spend a dime. This is because every method that works will require that you spend money or time or both. Yes, you can choose methods that would work well with only a time investment.

But think of it this way: Isn't your time worth some real money. If it's worth some money, place a value on your time. Let's say, "At the moment, I am worth $10 per hour." This simple exercise will help you know when you're better off using a tool or service that reduces your work time by a given factor. Now that I've settled this, let's go to one thing you can do to promote your site without spending any or much money...

Start writing and submitting high value articles to article directories. To get the most from this make sure you rewrite each article before you submit to another directory. Here's how I do it...

1. Write a high quality article and submit it to Ezinearticles.

2. Rewrite that same article and submit to other article directories. If you submit the exact same version to too many directories, many instances of your article won't count due to the duplicate content filter being implemented by most search engines.

3. Rinse and repeat the process.

What you gain from this simple process are...

1. You build your brand and become known as an expert.

2. You get direct high quality traffic.

3. You build links that will in turn improve your ranking at the search engines. This means even more traffic to your site.
