I have always had problems with websites i can get a website up running and profitable but the biggest hurdle i always suffer is marketing it may seem easy to some but it is a hard thing to do i havea website simplelance.com and i need to promote this to get some member sign ups and also some affiliate sign ups.

The question i am asking here is what is the top 5 ways paid and free to promote a website and also is there software that can actually works promoting a site.

And finally the way to advertise with fastest results.

You could purchase some links on similar sites with high traffic for a start.
Also, try finding a good forum related to your site and get some advertising space on there.

Not sure if that's the advice you're looking for but it's definately a start.

Check your competitors - e.g. type 'elance' in google and see what they're doing - articles? press releases? free classified ads? I agree with Weboholic on posting in forums. For paid promotions - depends on your budget - maybe Google Adwords?

Good luck

forums work very nicely if you find ones that are targeted towards your site, other forums work quite nicely if your site is general interest...

promotion software can work to a degree, possibly the same as traffic exchanges, but likely a little better.

googleads or other such text based ppc adverts are useful in promoting, they seem to work better than most banner systems I have found...
