Targeted traffic means visitors who are likely to do one specific thing that proves the site works (first post, join a group, invite a friend). For 's social network the most useful work is: pick 2–3 narrow user types, design a one-step activation that shows value immediately, then test channels that actually reach those people.

Practical 5-step plan to get qualified, repeatable traffic and growth:

  1. Define personas and the single "activation" for each (what success looks like in the first session).
  2. Create one minimal landing/onboarding flow per persona: headline that matches their motivation, a single CTA, and the smallest number of fields to succeed. Tag each source with UTM values so you can tell which message/channel produced activations.
  3. Seed small, targeted communities: identify 5–10 niche group leaders or organizers related to a persona and offer exclusive invites or co-hosted micro-events. Give them an easy demo and a short invite script to share.
  4. Build a simple referral/growth loop that rewards both inviter and invitee with immediate in-product value and a one-click share path. Keep the sharing copy tailored to the persona.
  5. Instrument and iterate: measure visitors -> activated users -> invites generated -> retained users. Run one small hypothesis test per week (headline, CTA, reward or partner) and keep only what increases activation and retention.

Troubleshooting checklist: if traffic arrives but nobody activates, check message/expectation mismatch and friction during sign-up; if activation is fine but retention is low, optimize the first 48 hours (one nudge, one hook). Avoid mass unqualified signups—they inflate numbers but hide product problems. This focused, product-led approach makes any traffic you drive actually useful.

... I want targeted traffic ...

So you best just look around here and figure out what search engine optimization is first then give it a go yourself or, if you lack confidence in being successful in the simple art of search engine optimisation then find someone else to do it for you.

If you try this yourself, concentrate on crafting intelligent content and focus your optimization on-site. Don't worry too much about making mistakes in SEO, practically any situation is salvageable nowadays doesn't really matter how shabby it is.

You should try using PPC or find an SEO Consultant to start a SEO Campaign. PPC Campaigns are cheaper to start but more expensive to run.

For most of the sites the major part of targeted traffic will be from Search Engines only, so do SEO and improve your keyword rankings.

Hello! If I were you I'd start from good content. Then I'd run an articles submitions, then blog/forum posting. Highly recommend you to use a Socalbookmarking - this is a bacis of SEO, as for me. Also try a link exchange with related websites. I'm sure that if you start blog posting - it will atract a huge amount of visitors to your website. For today very popular tricks are video and email marketing, but this methods will wokr just for specific websites, if you think that it can work for you as well then just dont hesitate to start using it!
