There is a lot of great ways to promote online at no cost whatsoever but it takes graft. Blogging is a good idea but once you have a piece of online real estate like a blog or indeed a website, without pushing it it will lie dormant. Find an angle rather than simply an explanation of your service or product and write your blog and construct with effective keywords and optimised (tagged) pictures (as a lot of blog traffic arrives through image searching). Once it's done deliver it through as many online tools as you can find. Stumbleupon pushes content on to other "stumblers" with similar interests, so when I say find an angle its important in order for people to want to give it thumbs up and share it. If an angle is hard make it funny or mix your prodct or service in to a list of other services and make a top ten list of blah blah blog. Submit it to reddit.com and digg.com make a group on Facebook but if your company is called Smith and Sons and you make, I dunno, ant farms, don't call your group "Smith & Son's Ant Farms" call it "I Love Insects" Then your group will grow organically rather than be filled with people you push in there. You then have a captive audience. Tweet on Twitter - but keep doing it - it will build. And remember, if you sit back after doing one peice of work, if you do another one it will double your traffic - sounds obvious but its an ongoing graft as I said. Hope this is all useful.

people just came to ignore TV advertising, and radio advertising, and the reason for that is that sometimes the promise one thing and then, deliver another. So what's the point in spending hundreds of dollars on something people won't even tell?.

Your choice is right, free advertising, is the best way to go. One of the most popular free advertising are Blogging, e-mail marketing, forums, on-line directories, and E-bay. It is said that E-Bay generates “serious traffic”. You can advertise on e-bay joining auctions, about me page (it's a page that tells the visitors what should they visit, and there you can add a link to your website so users can subscribe for newsletters).
