Generally it shouldn't be a problem to find ad agencies willing to buy your traffic or supply you ads for this relatively high amount of users. Consider joining third-party network, such as Yahoo! Publisher Network, Google Adsense, or AdBrite.\n\nIf they're 300,000 unique users arriving at the site daily, how many pageviews total do they generate? Tha rates of $1-2 per 1,000 pageviews are not that hard to get.

Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:\n\nCraigslist http://www.craigslist.com\nGoogle Base http://base.google.com\nClassifieds for Free http://www.classifiedsforfree.com/...\nText Link Exchange http://www.txtswap.com/\nRecycler.com http://www.recycler.com/\nYahoo Classifieds http://classifieds.yahoo.com/\nUS Free Ads http://www.usfreeads.com/\n\n"If you build it, they will come" is not necessarily true on the Web. Putting a website up is one thing, but getting visitors to come to your site is another. The process becomes even more difficult if you have limited resources to market your business.\n\nHere are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible: \n\n1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.\n\n2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!\n\nRecommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/\nBig Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml \nCGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/\nHostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html\n\n3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.\n\nIf you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm \n\nSEO for Google http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/google.htm\nSEO for Yahoo! http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/yahoo.htm\nSEO for MSN http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/msn.htm\nTying It Together: SEO For The Big Three http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/seo.htm\n\n4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. My website (see my profile) accepts free press release submission (no strings attached!)\n\n5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.\n\nHere is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481

I would first talk to people who have similar interests and websites, but not the same thing to offer. You could suggest that you both share links from one site to the other (s/he features yours, and you theirs). I would obviously talk to people who get lots of hits or have successful sites (and may not cost you a dime if they feel they have a good possibility of gaining profit from it). Doing this with someone in the same situation as yourself may help some, but it will be minimal - all relative to the traffic, of course. There are usually local papers and fliers where you can place ads for free, and that are distributed via snail mail, in Sunday News, etc.  There is always the option of mainstream advertisement, and local ads on television. If these suggestions aren't good for you, then I hope I at least got some of your creative juices flowing in a new direction, and you find something that works! Take care.

I would go with Google Adwords.  This will get you some targeted traffic (resulting in people wanting to be at your site) and quick.  Be sure to monitor your hits so that you can shut it down when you don't want to spend anymore money.

Surfer sites are LOW QUALITY sites. When you pay for this stuff, you can get traffic but they are NOT the traffic you want for your business because this traffic is NOT interested in your site and what you have to offer. \n\nYou are correct - they are just surfing to get credits to promote their sites. If you look at your web stats and if you have data showing how this people navigate through your site, you will find that majority, if not 99% of the traffic only goes to your homepage and nowhere else. Not in your product pages, and certainly not in the order page. In fact, if you are running programs such as Google Adsense, you can be kicked out because they do not like traffic coming from these surfer sites. You can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products.

I am assuming u mean targeting serious Traffic.\n\nA good way is subscribing with search engines like google.\n\nThey charge you by the word. For Eg: is your site is about cars. You can subscribe with google whereby when anyone searchs for "cars" your site comes up.\n\nThey charge you based on the popularity of the word, the numbers of words you subscribed. The period you want to be subcribed to etc. It is generally cheaper than other means.\n\nAnother way is to have a link on your website to some other popular website. Of if you have an banner made for your site , you can use it to display on some of the smaller online companies (like your local newspaper) who may not charge you as much money.

if you attract enough viewers you can solicit for advertising, but you have to have data to backup how many visitors visit your site. For example a site counter with traffic data. Then find a web advertising agency.

Why not start by creating some content?  Review the companies you're linking too.\n\nFind a way to get incoming links to your reviews, via forums, groups, etc..\n\nMore categories in a link farm are useless.  If you want to make money, you need to offer the user something unique, interesting, and in smaller niche markets.
