For nearly a decade I have been an Internet Marketing Consultant specializing in promoting  entertainment based and consumer websites. Marketing and promoting your website can be difficult but with a few cost effective solutions your site can gain tons of exposure and increased traffic. Here are a few ways to reach the masses for little or no money........

Social networking sites - SNSs such as MySpace,Tagged and Bolt are a great way to promote your website especially if your companies target audience is teens and young adults. Set up a page and add "friends" who fit your demographic. DO NOT SPAM MEMBERS!!!! That is an easy way to get alienate members.

Custom RSS and Atom Feeds - Create interesting feeds that will keep your audience interested in your content.

Write articles for "Free Article Sites" - Google "free articles webmaster" you will find several sites that offer free articles for websites. Sign up and create interesting article that your target audience will want to read. The majority of these "free article sites" allow you to ad a link to your site so when your article ends up on hundreds of websites your site will also.
