Brent Wilson did it. I never have.

It takes a great deal of luck. In Brent’s case, Ford released official information and pictures on the new 2008 Bullitt Mustang, so he stayed up all night getting his Mustang site updated with pictures and news. It paid off: he ranked #1 in Yahoo! for Bullitt Mustang, and that earned him a cool $1.326.64 in a single day.

I know you’ve heard it said before. There’s one thing every website and business needs, and that thing is: traffic.

Every webmaster wants to know… “How do I get more traffic to my site?”

The important thing to remember is that traffic is not just “traffic.” It’s people. Traffic is useless if it’s just search engine robots. In the last 24 hours alone, I’ve had exactly 1,091 Yahoo! Slurp Spiders visit my Google Forum. That’s not the kind of traffic I’m trying to build.

I decided to take some time to create a comprehensive list of the 5 best sites to post ads for free. These free advertisements are a good (free) starting point to getting your website noticed in the competitive Internet landscape.

Every one of these sites has been personally tested by me.

Te 5 Free Ad Sites 

1. InetGiant - Links in ad text aren’t live. (example ad)
2. Hot-Web-Ads - Does ads for 90 days. Redirect link is live. (example ad)
3. FreeClassifiedAds -Does ads for up to 365 days. (example ad)
4. Kingdom Classifieds - Limited to 3 credits. (example ad)
5. USNetAds - Ads expire in 120 days. (example ad)

Take a minute to announce your site to all of these free sites, and you’ll be well on your way to getting noticed online.

Bonus: Rejected Sites
I tried these sites and they did not live up to expectations. Some don’t allow links for free.

1.  USFreeads.com
2. 1second.com (1AmericaMall)
3. Yahoo! Classifieds
