It is possible to get 3000 visitors a day, but then you need quality unique content and a good niche

You can certainly build up to 3,000 by writing unique content articles with attention to keywords, include a signature link and post them on article directories. If you can maintain a high output of quality articles - 1 per day for example - you will build traffic for your site, but it won't happen overnight.

Besides just revisiting your own page? :-)

You should go to the various search engines and register your site so it can be indexed. Once indexed it will start showing up in web searches. So sites require special meta tags.

Ha ha!

Don't forget to visit your page from different Internet connections so you can count yourself as several different unique users as well!!!

target the focuused customer rather than to think about 3000 visits. more visits does take guarantee of succes of site.some offline method may be more workable in bringing your site into the notice of target audience.

i started a site in december and am getting close to 10,000 uniques a day (and i haven't spent a cent). i am getting about 1,000 uniques a day through search engines, about 2,500 through direct visits, and the rest are all referred from other sites.

my recommendation:
-find like 10 forums that relate to the content on your site and post maybe once a day linking back to your site
-digg, stumble, and reddit everything on your site
-submit your site to sites like coolsiteoftheday etc.
-create a google webmasters tools account and submit a sitemap and configure a robots.txt file

hope this helps - good luck!

I fully agree. I'd rather have 300 unique visitors per day who are interested in my topic and return, than 3000 who are on the site for less thant 30 seconds.

It is all about roi.

You can have 3000 visitors and make some money, but you can do the same and get even better results with 300 targetted visitors.

The only way to do it for free is by promoting and marketing it yourself.

And even in that case it's not free because time is money.
