Heh, mass mailing is spamming which is illegal. The most effective way would be PPC (Google Adwords), but that would cost tons. It is difficult to know though, while I do not know your site.

Hmm i would say you can use both monetary and non monetary way for that. I would use google per click service (Google AdSense). Secondly you can huge platform of Facebook. Advertise on page relevant to it with a huge fan base.

Mass emailing is dangerous. You may need more help if you or the company you are promoting is accused of SPAM.

PPC is the fastest way to get targeted traffic to your site. But it can be expensive and frustrating.

The best free methods – if you have the patience – are article marketing, social bookmarking, forum marketing and SEO.

Differentiate between untargeted traffic and targeted traffic. The former does more harm than good by wasting your bandwidth.

You have to make sure you get alot of incoming links. This will get you traffic and ranking, all in one. Follow the 6 steps from the article below to increase your traffic and links!

All I can say is do the top level stuff:

1) SEO
2) Articles and submissions
3) Social Bookmarking

Article sites, go here:

Mass emailing is not going to bring your website traffic but I am sure the authority will do that, lol.

Focus on something ethical & legitimate like white hat search engine optimization & spend money on advertising, you’ll definitely get website traffic for your website.

Try the following steps

- Check or do SEO using free tools like : so that it starts appearing in organic search results

- Check out the common ways of promotion :

The best way to do this is :

1) Advertise on Other Related Sites:
For example, if you sell ‘religious apparel/t-shirts’, you can find other religious/Christian web sites that will allow you to advertise your banner/text ad on their site for fairly cheap. They have your audience and what better way to spend your advertising dollars on people who are likely to be interested in what you have.

Remember.. the goal is to get your product/service in front of your targeted prospects, and a properly written ‘ad’ (banner or text) will help you accomplish that.

2) Article Marketing: I’m sure you’ve heard about this one a million times, but it works. You should make a habit of writing one article per day, Monday – Friday. If you can’t, hire someone who will, and you can get it done cheaply, that way you have quality, unique content. (After writing this post, I’m simply going to post it as an article myself ))

After you write your article, then post it to the various article directories. Pick 5-8 and stick with that, you don’t need to submit it to 900 directories.

Now here’s the real secret!

After you write that article and submit, take out a headset microphone and then read your article so you can get it in an MP3 format. Now you have ‘podcast’ material, and now you submit this mp3 format. Again, your goal is to repurpose this content and submit it. Not only do you have just an article, you now have it in audio form (remember, people like content in a variety of formats — some like listening, some like reading, and some like watching video, which leads to my next point).

Either take out a video camera and record yourself reading your article (don’t make it so obvious — maybe talk about what you wrote), or create a power point slide show, and use screen capture software so you can make a presentation with the power point and microphone and now you have video content — which you will then submit to the various video directories (youtube, metacalf, yahoo, viddler, etc…)

Now that one article is now in 3 different formats submitted to maybe 8 different places (8 submissions x 3 formats equals 24 places where your content will appear or be seen). If you wrote 20 articles per month using this same formula, you’ll have your content sitting in over 480 places.

Now obviously, your goal is to provide quality relevant content with a way for them to find a way back to your site. If you provide the goods, they will follow you back.

You can also place your articles on your own blog/site as well.

3) Forum marketing is obviously another — the goal should be to find a variety of forums where your audience hangs out at and participate in the community by offering solid content. If you bring the quality, people will likely follow the signature in your post back to your website. You can do the same with blogs as well — post quality and relevant comments with helpful information. Add value to the post you’re commenting on.

4) Run Ads in Print Media – If you sell a product for horses, run ads in the various print newsletter publications. There are many journals and newsletters that your prospects read and subscribe too. Place your message there as well. Many people don’t do this, but it’s a great strategy and you generally get a great conversion rate if your ‘ad/message’ is able to get them from the print media to the website — offer a free report or something they must have in an effort to get them onto the site.

5) Pay Per Clicks – Google Adwords, MSN Adcenter, and Yahoo of course. This can turn into a long post, so I’ll just leave it at this. Pay per clicks will allow you to get targeted traffic to your website almost immediately. It works and it works well!

6) You Tube – I mentioned this earlier, but provide quality and useful content. People are looking for it. Video is so big right now and chances are your competitors aren’t using it to educate their prospects.

Combined, my videos on youtube have generated millions of targeted visitors to my website and it didn’t cost me a dime, see for yourself, this video has been watched over 1.5 million times alone, and I direct all the traffic to one of my sites:

Don’t laugh, this was when I was first learning how to use a camera:

And guess what, type in the phrase: How to Do Magic
and my VIDEO itself shows up #2 in Google

And #3 in Yahoo:

And we’ve duplicated the same results in other industries as well. Quality and relevant content will get you in places where others really want to be….

Use video and use it now!

7) Make Your Own Widget — Is there something that your niche would love to have on their webiste? Is there a tool or certification seal you could create that they’ll put on their site’s? This could potentially create thousands of one-way backlinks to your site.

For example, I
