Create quality content and others will do your work for you by sharing that content - you do NOT have to build links.

Thank you for your fast answer.

Good ideas but google/overture very expensive
for most keywords, ezine ads often get lost
amongst others and solos can be expensive and
very dificult now a days to really get good
search engine placements.
So what good free methods are there. Forums
are good, yes, safelists I am beginning to think
are probably a waste of time, yahoo groups are
full of the same people promoting the same
over hyped and pointless schemes and hit
exchanges don't seem to work as well as they
used to...
What can people suggest?
I would love to be able to say to my downline in
my business, here go do this and you will build
your business but gets harder and harder
online.

Last year I've made 80% percent of my visitors the through online forum,its really worth it if properly managed.
