Sometimes as a webmaster I feel a little overwhelmed with the number of options I have when it comes to marketing my website.

First off, there are web directories.  What I like about them is that they are free (at least most of them are).  this is great when you are just starting out and have no budget.  The “bad” thing about web directories is that it takes time for your listings to be approved, but what do you expect for something that is free?

My favorite of the free online marketing options is article submissions.  Basically, you write a short article (500-700 words) and submit them to article directories.  It can take a little time for them to be approved, but once they are, it can have a viral effect.  You see, other webmasters are looking for quality content for their sites, and they could use your article on their site.  They leave a backlink in the credits of the article, and that can help your site to get some traffic.

I know I only covered two types of Internet marketing, but it is a start.
