I think its only worth doing if the page is very relevant and maximum 10 - 15 links.

I don't believe in exchanging link with only site with high PR because they hardly accept, i exchange link with every sites with any PR.

And my site is in every search engines top 10 just under a year.

In this case your website link must be releted keyword pages. back link comes from higher page rank.

I think there is onley one way to do it!

First.. buy your own domain and build a web site.

then.. work on SEO and meantime use google adward

If you sale products.. use affiliate program

As you said you are not free to do any thing, so in this situation you should create your own site ASAP.

Is Google AdWord (cost per click) the best way to go to increase traffic to my website?

Well in this case its totally up to you... If you have good budget then Adwords can give you instant traffic.

If you have low budget then think about search engine optimization and search engine marketing. they will tack some time but that will be static after that with daily maintenance.
The other media I would like to prefer you is Social media marketing you can use it instead of PPC or search engine marketing.

This media can replace search engine optimization but in that case you only need to depend on that sites for traffic. No guaranty from search engine.

What about link exchanges?

Link Exchange will be nice practice to get high rank in Search engine.

If I create my own website would it be best to register my domain and purchase a package from that ISP to manage my traffic?

Not necessary

Thanks for the heads up but what about if you running a classified ad or a directory like myself. How would you do that? Create another page just for link exchange? I am still newbie so please understand

A .com domain name is good if you are aiming for a commercial site.

Depending on your golas and needs, there are a lot of proven ways to advertise your business. Joining some niche forums is one proven way -- this way you can network with other members. PPC is also good...but of course investment is necessary. If you have some funds, you can hire a good SEO program.

Hi,
I agree with cscgal. We have to apply all possible techniques to get targeted traffic.

Now to get to your questions ...

- I would definitely go with your own domain name. It makes it reputable and, in the long run, is best for search engine optimization.

- Google AdWords is excellent for some sites and horrible for others. Personally, I have always used it on DaniWeb and I'm very happy with it. What is great about AdWords is that there is no minimum spending budget. Therefore, you can always just try it out, and if you don't like it, just stop using it. Or, you could start with an initial budget of just a dollar or two per day, and if your business becomes successful, increase your ad budget.

- Link exchanges are a great way to get noticed by search engines. However, I would not start with link exchanges until you have your own domain name.

- I'm confused what you mean by purchasing a package from your ISP to manage your traffic. What do you mean "manage your traffic"?

- Sorry, never heard of DigitalWorks.
