how to advertise my site for free

Hi Stacey,

Most advertising is not free but here are a few suggestions that are free:

The best way is to do a link exchange with somebody that has a website similiar to your content. Just send the webmaster an email asking if they would consider linking to your site, most ask in return of a link to their website. A link to your website from a website that ranks good with the search engines will inturn be good for your ranking on the search engines.

You could create a group for your website on a social network. eg.Facebook and provide links to your website.

Join twitter and do updates with a link to your website, for example, "Hi I just wrote a new post on my blog, click here to check it out".

Just provide a link to your website wherever relative on forums for example.

These are just a few suggestions, that should get the ball rolling. I'm sure other's will share their methods of advertising.
