- Ebay: If applicable, add a link to your site from your ebay listings. Ebay allows this only if you link to something relevant tot he product/item you’re selling. I have a product review site so when I sell an item I’ve reviewed, I add a link to the review.
- Reciprocal links: Sure the search engines have greatly devalued them, but this is one of the oldest methods of attracting new visitors that still works.
- Groups: If appropriate you can add links to your comments on yahoo/google group sites, yahoo answers and and forums.
- Social networking: Add a link to your site on all your social network sites and your email signature as well. The more eyes that see your link the better.
- RSS: If you have a site that updates regularly (and you should) publicly display a link to your rss feed because plenty of people add it to their google homepage, mobile phone or get new posts via email.

3 Comments so farI like the eBay idea. I recently tried posting picture/photo to Flickr.com. Upload your photo, write good keyword rich titles and add a few well choosen tags, and watch the traffic roll in. I currently see about 1000 visitors a month to my family of websites through this resource.
Comment by Andy Fling 11.24.09 @ 9:24 pm@rebecca I think you’re right, I don’t think there is any merit in submitting to hundreds of search engines anymore. The big three (Google, Yahoo, BING) and any relevant vertical search engines is enough.
Good tips Edwin, I would add to point 3 that submitting to RSS directories also helps distribute the feeds to a larger audience as well.

Finally some tips that are unique and not the usual “submit your sites to a hundred search engines” or “word of mouth” suggestions.
