I feel the most effective way to get people to link to your web site is by offering web masters the option of giving away your free stuff. In exchange, they link to your web site. Why would other web masters want to do this? They may want give away a freebie to draw traffic to their web site. They also may not have the time, knowledge or skills to give away certain types of electronic freebies from their web site.

Your links will just keep multiplying. When a web master offers your freebie to his or her visitors. Those visitors may decide to also give away your freebie. And so on and so on… The more people that link to your web site the more traffic you’ll get. Below are four of the most popular types of freebies given away on the internet to increase traffic.

Free Software

Offer free software from your web site. The software could be freeware, shareware or demos.

Free Online Services

Offer a free online service from your web site. The online service could be an e-mail account, search engine submission or e-mail consulting, etc.

Free Information

Offer valuable free information from your web site. The information could be a report, article, e-book, online audio recording or e-mail course, etc.

Free Affiliate Program

Offer a free affiliate program from your web site. The affiliate program could be pay per sale, click through, two tiered, etc. Afterall, people love free stuffs!

Now, I know, there are many other ways to get links like trading or exchanging links with other web sites or joining a banner exchange. You can also do joint ventures or cross promoting. I feel these are not as effective as multiplying your links. I hope this article can help you increase traffic to your web site.

When you steps onto the ancient street of Wangfujing in Beijing, you will notice a sugar blower went from street to street with his shoulder poles, carrying stools and cupboards on each side. The cupboard held charcoal, charcoal stove with a cuprum spoon full of maltose in the center. On top of it were models of different kinds of sugar figures on straws. These have attracted lots of kids and tourists.

First, the maker prepares his basic recipe and makes the hard candy or maltose by heating it until it becomes soft. He then picks up a lump of the maltose and nip the soft maltose by hands, makes a small hollow to plugs it into a wheat straw pole and blow gently, using his hand to form a figure… He slowly blows through the pipe and enlarges the air pocket inside the sugar ball. Soon, the soft maltose turns into a striking creature. This sugar figures would sell for 30 yuan.

This traditional parts of the Chinese culture still enjoys a strong vitality and social influence in Beijing.

The sugar blower has made a variety of sugar figures that he displays on his stand.

No. 1 Water Town Of China – Zhou Zhuang , offer a glimpse of life in ancient China
It lies at the middle between Shanghai and Suzhou, is an ancient town of Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province, where abounds with rivers and lakes. So it is thought by many to be the best waterside town in China.This ancient town has a history of more than 900 years old with many houses built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Zhou Zhuang is clean, well-kept village filled with cobbled paths, arched bridges, tile roofs and tantalizing glimpses of old China. However, is a TRUE ancient canal town. Development stopped here about 500 years ago. The city has preserved the ancient village intact. No vehicles (including bicycles) are allowed. The "streets" are no wider than 2 meters and canals crisscross the entire village. It was a bright spring day, and the waterfront willows were just beginning to leaf, showing splashes of lime green in the cool May sunshine. Tourists floated by on boats, admiring the thousand-year-old stonework, especially the famous Shide and Yongan bridges, a pair of Ming-era beauties.

They said you haven’t really visited China untill you’ve vomited in China! Well, it’s finally my turn. Not sure if it was the bad lunch I had at the Beijing 13 Ming Tombs tourist site. I found myself either kneeling or sitting, or sometimes with the unfortunate need to do both at the same time. I feel so sick travelling in a cab and bus. Food poisoning is not fun, and being sick on the road is no fun… and it blows! After the initial fever, sleepiness wore off, all I was left were extremely painful stomach cramps and complete lack of appetite. I was in bed for 2 days and not be able to travel around Beijing… I feel horrible! But will update some photos soon…
