How to get traffic

I would use free ad sites, like craigslist for quick traffic. I also do article marketing by publishing on article sites, that also helps. Of course, Google Adwords and Yahoo Search Marketing for paid ads will help a lot; oh also MSN.

Craigslist drives a substantial amount of traffic this way?

yeah, i heard a lof of power of Craiglist,

and about you,

if you want more traffic just submit your website to social networks like Stumbleupon or digg and ask your friend to thumb it or digg it too :idea:

I guess there is no easy way to really boost traffic to your site other than to work hard for it. You start doing it little by little. Perhaps spreading the words to your friends. If you have a very good, informative website then chances are your friends will refer it to others and you will get the traffic you desire in no time at all. Bottom line is, it requires patience. =)

Ahh! the age old question of getting traffic to your website.

The best and most effective traffic to a website is from a search engine i.e. the major site like google, msn and yahoo.

However if you plan you search engine marketing properly and do some work on it every day I am sure by the end for the year you can drive significant traffic to your website and do well on search engines in general.

Don't underestimate the potential of submitting your site to web directories.

You can post your site to free classified ads or try to use social bookmarking site. This is also a good source of traffic.

Some possible ways:

From my experience:

Press release (PR Web is fantastic - they have a seo package where your link is placed all over the web)

Social Networking sites such as Facebook are excellent for finding contacts with interests in your field, though they are strict with regard to spamming and ban you if they think you are spamming

Tell your friends and family, use visual methods such as printing on t-shirts, car magnets, anything to bring exposure

A well designed website created by a good team/designer will be search engine optimized

Pay-per-click advertising
