Here are 5 options how to generate traffic without spending money.
One of the best ways is to make use of communities and forums on the web.
Find the communities and online forums that represent the potential customers for your product and services, the customers you would like to steer towards your website.

Linking is another benefit that can flow from the communities and forums but also from anywhere online.
It costs you nothing to do some link-exchanging.
When links are exchanged, you are sending one another's traffic to the other site.
In other words by agreeing with another website owner, you can generate traffic for him and he can for you.
This works the best if both sites are in the same niche.
It defeats the object to send traffic to another website that your visitors will have no interest in.
Newsletters are the third option to generate traffic.
Send out a regular newsletter that visitors can sign up for.
