I have just finished creating a new eBook (it's short so I called it an eReport).
I don't know how many WordPress bloggers there are on this board, but if you are a blogger or just curious, you can download the report here:
http://www.ninjablogsetup.com/blog/wordpress-tags-report/
Why I'm posting here though is to open a discussion about using free reports (also known as whitepapers) to drive traffic to your websites.
The gist of it is to give away some valuable information for free. This builds trust with your readers and because the report is free, hopefully it will go viral and generate a ton of traffic to your site.
Inside the eReport I say clearly that readers are welcome to pass the report along, email to friends and give it to their email lists.
List Building
I've seen people use a simple report like this to build a huge email list, you can make people opt in before downloading.
Affiliate Marketing
A report like this can be used very effectively as an affiliate marketing tactic. Write up a killer report with great information, and put affiliate links in the report to tools that are naturally used in the content of the report.
Here's an example of an affiliate style free report that I think has done very well for the author:

If the information is very good quality, then you can approach big blogs with massive readership in related topics and ask them to give the report to their readers.
A lot of the time they will be happy to and the influx of traffic (or affiliate sales or email signups) can go through the roof.
Any comments or questions on my report or the technique in general, I'm all ears!
