Posted by Anonymous on 6/25/2008 at 3:14 PM ET 250 Points

My question is, does anyone have any tips for generating free buzz about a new website?

    Create a blog, create backlinks to the site, create articles centered around your topic of expertise, give something away for free and build a list, create videos, create podcasts, issue a press release...the list goes on and on.

    Add Social Bookmarking to your site (for example: https://www.socialmarker.com/) and encourage colleagues to bookmark your site, which builds social buzz quickly. However, that'll only work to get traffic once - keeping people coming back to you involves great & useful content.

    For a Forex site, I'd strongly suggest a quick blurb about you, and why your information is to be trusted.

    What's the objective? Why do you want the buzz? Why does it have to be free?

    If there's a value to getting the buzz, then it should be monetized and you should set a budget that reflects your objective.

    If this is just for fun, it might be more effort than it's worth. Besides, how will you know how much buzz is enough to warrant the effort?

    Unfortunately there's no free lunch.
