Expose Yourself !Jim Peters Thats what you need to do, if you want to maximize the traffic to your website. You need to expose yourself to as many pairs of eyes as you possibly can. Paying for advertising is one way to accomplish that, but there are many other much more subtle ways to expose yourself, that can often generate much more targeted traffic. Probably the best way to expose yourself is by writing articles and submitting them to ezines related to the topic. Oh, "Im not a writer you say." Well, that really doesnt matter. Im not a writer either, and here I am. The only thing you need to expose yourself with this method is knowledge in a specific area.

Keep your "sig" file short and sweet, not more than 6 to 8 lines formatted the same as your article. You now have an article with a great title, along with your "sig file. Its time to promote it. Have a look at these quick tips http://www.opportunityupdate.com/tips.html for getting your article noticed by a publisher. Here are a few of the excellent sources for promoting your article:
