3) Add signatures to your emails.

Supply a signature with your emails that include your name (obviously), your website, and a link to your downloadable Ebook.

4) Link Exchange.

Link exchange is a good way of getting your website recognized by the search engines. Links count as a virtual vote for your website from another website, in the eyes of Google, Yahoo and MSN.

The Quality of those links matter more than the number. Related websites will have a greater weighting in the eyes of the search engine than a site which is clearly a simple exchanging of links.

5) Social Bookmarking

Submit your website pages and articles to social bookmarking websites.

6) Comment Post (with link to your site)

Post comments on other blog / weblogs and forums with a link back to your website targeting keywords that will trigger a click through to your website.
