Free online advertising ideas
Here are different ways you can advertise your business website at no cost you. Obviously some are more geared towards Moms in business and women in general (as I am both) but many are also for business owners in general.
Article Submission Sites
Submitting your articles for use on other websites is an easy and free way to increase traffic to your own website. Every article you write will include your name, email address, website address and business information. Basically a small advertisement that links to your business. Here are some websites that allow you to submit your articles for webmasters to use on their website.

Posting On Message Boards
Find message boards that are related to your own business. For example, if you run a direct sales business, look for work at home and party plan type message boards. Introduce yourself and spend time either asking questions or answering them. Most message boards allow you to include a signature after your posts, this is where you can include a link to your website for others to see.
Some of my favorite business related message boards include:
Self-Starters Weekly Tips (great for affiliate marketers)
The Warrior Forum (Internet marketing)
 Obviously not a complete list, but some of my favorites that I share with clients.
Enjoy
