Free Advertising
TrafficSwarm
TrafficSwarm may be the best free Internet advertising source that you can use to promote your referral link.
They have a network of over 145,000 member websites that will display your advertisement with your referral link over and over.
You start with a number of free credits and can earn credits easily simply by visiting other websites.
You'll receive targeted traffic where people CHOOSE to click on your advertisement, not "fake" or "computer-generated" traffic.
You can earn even more credits by setting your home page to your TrafficSwarm link.
Like Surveysavvy, they also reward you for referrals and give you more credits for them.
Your account can be upgraded to double most of your credits and award you with thousands of credits each month.
If you really want to begin developing an income and a steady stream of traffic, I URGE YOU to join this free system. I'm already seeing nice results from my TrafficSwarm account and have had my advertisements displayed thousands of times for hundreds of hits.
Email Signature
The simplest way to get referrals for your SurveySavvy account is to tell others about it. You can do this in an "unimposing" way by simply placing your referral link within the signature of your outgoing emails. That way, whenever you send out an email, you can have a quick SurveySavvy advertisement for yourself at the bottom of your message, and you didn't even have to "think about doing it". This is very common and doesn't place undue pressure on your friends, family, and associates.
Here is how to do it:
1. Find the "signature" feature in your email account. It may be under "Options" or a similar name.
2. Place this message (or your own preferred message) into your signature:
"Guess what? I've learned how to get paid for free! Click here for more info. http://www.surveysavvy.com/?ref_email_id=YOURID"
(Remember to substitute your referral link for the example link I've used above.)
3. Test your message. Send a test email to another email account or a close friend who can verify it for you.
Please do not use this technique to "spam" or send unsolicited emails. SurveySavvy has a strict policy against this.
Search Engines
I knew that if I wanted referrals, the search engines were the best place for my SurveySavvy link. I knew that those "free mass submission" services didn't work, and that the pay-per-click engines would be the best place for the link, but I didn't want to really invest any "real money", at that time. There are many small pay-per-click search engines that will give you a FREE account balance so that you can try out their services and get free hits. You can usually bid yourself to #1 spots pretty easily. They don't have as much traffic as the big search engines, but having many of these accounts will accumulate the hits. I probably got about 50 referrals from search engines like these:
GoClick.com
CoolFetch.com

The more targeted keywords you can think of, the better you'll do.
Tips:
Keep your bids low enough to conserve your balance, but high enough to get you near the top listings. It may be a free account, but overbidding can run it out quickly.
Look for free pay-per-click accounts that have a "CatchAll" feature. Most people won't turn down a chance at "free money" and a catchall is a good way to get extra hits.
Look for free pay-per-click accounts that have a "Featured" listing on the home page. Bidding on the word featured can get you on the homepage for a reasonable cost sometimes.
Manually submitting listings is fine, but when you get more serious, use their "Mass Keyword Submission" feature. I keep a Word document that contains everything (title, url, description, keyword, bid) for HUNDREDS of keywords for SurveySavvy and other affiliates. Most of these small ppcs are made by Smartsearch, and have the same input features. This makes it easy to cart keywords from ppc to ppc. It takes some practice, but you'll figure it out.
