Hi guys. I've been out of the loop for a few months, but thought I'd drop in and see what the current topics are. On this one I'll lay out my whole strategy of what worked for me.

1) Build a content rich website of at least 5 pages
2) Add a wordpress blog to the website
3) Start a blogger blog on a keyword related to the website niche
4) Have links on the blogger blog to the wordpress blog
5) Start a blogroll on the wordpress blog that links to one of the website's inner content pages
6) Social bookmark both blogs to get listed in Google and Yahoo faster

After all of this is in place I add a content keyword page to the website once per week. Add posts about 70 - 100 words or so to each blog every 3 days.

Doing all of this for 6 to 8 weeks will get you on the front page of Google and usually within the top 20 on Yahoo. MSN will pick you up after the first month or so

Continue adding content to the blogs for another 3 months at least once per week and you can sustain your Google SERPs and move up in Yahoo.

Hope this helps.

I don't see any mentions of building a great content. I believe that any building traffic activity should be built on the great content framework.

I'll give this exact strategy a try on one of my brand new sites. I'll report back with results

I use Traffic Exchanges a lot to generate traffic to my site but instead of promoting individual TE, I promote a Traffic Builder website which has 28 TEs under its wings. That's how I am starting to build my downline without much effort. Although my downline is not huge but I can see that it is slowly growing using this approach. Eventually when my downline gets bigger, traffic generation is completely on autopilot. In the process, I may earn some commision when members upgrade or purchase credits in these exchanges.

I found that PPC is an excellent method to increase traffic to my website. However, it is a timely process. Do not expect instant results. However, with the right PPC advertising management company success is in the bag.

Everyone has listed some great strategies for generating traffic. When you have the right combination of the aforementioned methods, you can succeed. And I do agree that quality is just as important.

With regard to blogging, The Wall Street Journal recently published an article about monetizing blogs:

If you're not making money off your blog, 2008 might be the year.

As more people see potential in earning money off the Internet, there is a quickly expanding array of advertising services and tools for bloggers that go well beyond the standard pay-per-click text ads or display ads.

Many of the most widely used programs are adding features to allow users to customize the appearance and placement of ads on their sites. Some also are introducing newer money-making mediums such as audio and video ads.

You can read the rest here.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Miranda - looks like a good article. Thanks for sharing!

Love all the great suggestions and feedback about how important it is
ti just generate great content. And I'm not surprised at all by
the members that are stressing it. My guess is they are some
or our most successful affiliates.

For me Web2 has been more successful these days. Blogging is my second best and directoriies/articles are my 3rd best.
