Thread from sparked a lot of practical channel ideas from , , and others. Those answers cover distribution well, but most stop short of a measurement- and optimization-driven workflow. The next step is not new channels, but turning any traffic into repeatable growth by instrumenting, testing, and improving conversion paths.

A practical starting point is measurement: tag every campaign, define three actionable KPIs (acquisition, activation, retention), and record conversions as events. Run rapid A/B tests on headlines, CTAs and form length, and use session recordings or heatmaps to find where visitors drop. For content, prioritize one deep original asset (data-backed guide or case study) and repurpose it into short clips, a slide deck and a press/podcast pitch. Outreach should be relationship-first - targeted podcast or newsletter placements and journalist queries scale referral value better than scattershot sharing.

Technical and UX wins compound marketing effort. Improve page load and perceived speed, enable caching and an edge network, compress images and defer noncritical scripts. Add structured markup (FAQ/article) to increase search-result real estate and test simplified landing pages with a single clear CTA and visible trust signals to lift conversions.

Recommended checklist: 1) Instrument analytics and use campaign tags (). 2) Test one channel for two weeks with three variants. 3) Measure funnels and heatmaps. 4) Double down on winners. Complement the channel ideas from and by pairing them with this experiment loop. Avoid short-term spammy tactics; build systems that turn one hit into steady traffic (Core Web Vitals guide).

Well, first of all I do my on-page SEO and after I ping my website, then do socialbookmarking, forum and blog posting and commenting, email marketing - only if necessary, if I urgently need traffic:)

I get most of the traffic from Google and links from other websites.

Getting traffic is a combination of a lot of things. The key to success is to create great content that visitors want to use, search engines will love and other websites will naturally link to.

Yes, the above mention tactics are great. I also recommend the following:
1. Commenting on relevant bloggers (and hoping they will allow your link to appear on your comment).
2. Constantly engaging with high twitter celebrities and their followers will see the comments and check your profile and increase your site's visibility.
