Now Before you jump into these sites- please read this:

What’s better in marketing - to be a pusher or a puller? of course a puller. What is a puller? This means that you are 'pulling' people to your website, how? by doing things that will 'attract' them to you. This can be done in many ways and I will just mention a few - article marketing, forum marketing, social group marketing etc... By sharing valuable information that you have.
Use these tools [forums, articles, social networks etc..] for marketing but don’t abuse them! When you 'spam' forums and social networks - don’t be surprised that you are not getting any traffic from them.
Spam in this case means that you post once and never show up again, it means that you join a discussion group that’s not related to anything and you start posting your website....
If you want visitors to your website, if you want to build an audience around your website - then you need to build trust & respect from your potential visitors.
Be a contributor - it may take more time but in the long run it’s worth it!
