There are lots of ways of generating traffic to come to your site or blog, many of them for free although they may involve some work on your behalf.
One of the lesser realised of these amongst internet marketers is Yahoo Answers. It’s really quite simple to do. You’ll need an account with yahoo, but most internet marketers already have one of these. Then you log on to:
answers.yahoo.com
Set up an an account if you don’t already have one. Once you’re up and running, select the category that closest fits your niche. You’ll find plenty of questions that you can answer intelligently and knowledgeably, so jump right in and make sure you sign-off with a link back to your site or blog, whatever you want to promote. Then go and answer a few more.
Do this a few times a week and you will gradually build up not only a decent number of targeted visitors, but a nice brace of valuable one-way back-links to your site.
Double-bubble!
I bet you wished you’d thought of that one before!

Great you mentioned this Terry,
I dabbled in this a couple of month ago but totally forgot about it. Might have to stick this on my list.
Oh my god, it’s growing to the extend I might need a secretary.

I know what you mean! Time to do what?
I’m working 6 blogs now and 14 lenses – it takes up a heck of a lot of time!
So remembering that little nugget of gold means more scouting about – but worth it!

Yes, I agree, Yahoo! Answers is really a great traffic booster… provided that you answer the right questions!

Hehe! The trick is to only answer questions in your own niche – then you stand a good chance of knowing the answer anyway and the back-link is seen as relevant by Google when it comes to handing out the PR’s!
