Only 2 more weeks until the end of the MarketingWithAlex 3.0 student Traffic Generation Challenge.

I can’t believe 2 weeks have alread passed since the competition began.

I have continued to participate in different forums, Tweet and continued to oil rig hop.  I have received a decent amount of traffic from the different forums and from Twitter.  Most of the traffic has been from oil rig hopping.

Last week in the MarketingWithAlex.com 3.0 coaching classes we talked about the different ways to drive free (sometimes called organic) traffic to your blog or website.

Three of those ways to drive free traffic are Forum Marketing, Article Marketing, and Squidoo Marketing.

I am working on a couple of articles but I have not finished them yet.  I hope to finish them in the next couple of days.

To illustrate the use of Squidoo Marketing, I created a Squidoo lens called – 3 Fastest Ways to Getting Free Traffic.

When you get a chance check out the new Free Traffic lens and let me know what you think.  Did I explain Forum  Marketing, Article Marketing, and Squidoo Marketing so you can understand how to implement these free traffic techniques?

As mentioned yesterday, forum participation is a great way of getting traffic to your niche sites.

So I decided to give you a list of 5 useful affiliate marketing forums that you can visit everyday and get involved and develop those ever important relationships.
