I know that when I started out with my first website, I had no money.  I mean, I had to scrounge up the cash just to set the site up.  Now, a few years later, I do have more money to pay to promote my sites, but in the early days, I needed to be a little more resourceful.

For those of you out there that are just starting out and have no budget to promote your site, hang in there.  In the meantime while you are building your site’s link popularity, you can submit your site to as many free directories as you can.  The trick with this is consistency - by submitting your site to a free general directory a couple times per day each day, you will be increasing the backlinks to your site, increasing your traffic, and in turn your income should increase.

I have a resource for you that can help you out finding directories that you can list your site on.  If you take a look at these 8000 web directory listings, you will find that many of them are free and are great places to submit your sites.  Just follow the following mantra when promoting your sites:

Submit your site to a links directory or two each day,
And you will find traffic heading your way.
