I don't have a lot of funds to spend on commercial promotion, so I need a free or pennywise method to draw visitors.

Several criteria determine the amount of traffic your website gets but by far the most important are to have a good search engine ranking and good links to your site.\n\nSearch engines use a complicated and secret algorithm to determine which sites are placed where in the rankings but there are several tricks you can employ to boost you ranking.\n\nThere's lots of articles on the net to do with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) but I ignore all of them and do things my way.  This seems to work as every site I've created ranks within the top 6 on Google even when there's millions of results found.  A site I created less than a week ago is already ranked number 1 by Yahoo and Google.\n\nThese are some of my tips...\n\n-- GIVE YOUR PAGE A GOOD TITLE TAG --\nOne of the first things a search engine looks at is the title tag of the page. When writing the tag use the same words people are likely to key in when using a search engine.  For example, if your page is about space travel then a title such as "Space Travel - Be a Shuttle Rocket Tourist and Journey to the Moon" is much better than "All about flying to the moon and back".  Why?  Because the first tag includes words people are likely to use in a search engine such as space, travel, shuttle, rocket, tourist, journey and moon.\n\n-- GIVE YOUR PAGE A RELEVANT NAME --\nSearch engines look at page names.  If your domain was mydomain.com then a page name such as mydomain.com/space-travel will do much better than mydomain.com/section1/part2/page3.\n\n-- USE THE DESCRIPTION TAG --\nSome search engines including Google support this tag - others don't.  \n\nCompare a Yahoo search for 'Black Eyed Peas' to a Google Search.  Both of them find blackeyedpeas.com but Yahoo describe it as "... Multi-platinum 2-time Grammy-winners The Black Eyed Peas cross an historic threshold as their hit ... The Black Eyed Peas, Sergio Mendes, John Legend, Justin Timberlake and others ...".  Google uses the description tag and describes it as "Official site includes videos, message boards, tour dates, and photo gallery. Additional content is available to members."\n\n-- USE THE ALT TAG --\nSome search engines ignore the alt tag, others include it when spidering your site.  Not only that but some visually impaired users and power-surfers who turn off images rely on alt tags.\n\n-- FLASH ANIMATION / SCRIPTING / DHTML --\nSpiders are unable to follow these linking systems.  If all your pages are linked using Flash, DHTML or scripts then the spider won't follow the links and your pages won't get indexed.  If you're designing your site this way the least you can do it to include conventional text links to the main pages of your site and ideally to a Site Map that contains text links to every page.\n\n-- SPLASH PAGES --\nThese are the animated front pages to a site, usually nothing there other than an animation and a 'Skip Intro' link.  Spiders don't like Splash and as this is the doorway to your site think carefully before creating one.\n\n-- DOORWAY PAGES --\nThese are pages that exist on a site but are not accessible to the visitor, if someone tries to access the page they are redirected elsewhere.  Historically webmasters created such pages and stuffed them full of popular keywords and phrases.  \n\nSpiders have wised up to Doorways and there's nothing better for getting yourself pushed right down in the rankings or kicked out altogether than use of Doorway Pages.\n\n-- HIDDEN TEXT --\nSome web pages hide text by printing white text on a white background for example.  Often such text has nothing at all to do with the site but is just a list of popular words and phrases used to draw people to the site.  Spiders can spot tricks like these and will penalise sites that employ such tactics.\n\n-- PUT A HEADING ON YOUR PAGE --\nThe heading should closely match the page title.  You need to format the heading as a Heading Style a

Check with your local rental stores.  They may have something suitable available.  Explain your fund raising event, and offer them advertising over the weekend.  You may get a reduced price for the rental, maybe even a freebie!

Try getting an affiliate program. MyAffiliateProgram.com has a low cost version, for instance. Then you can sign up people to promote your site and only pay them when they drive a sale; you get the associated banner impressions/branding for free. Affiliate programs are the most cost efficient way to get your brand seen and drive traffic, and many affiliates will even take the risk and buy keywords on your behalf to drive traffic to you.
