How can I get more traffic?

[Niche]

To increase website traffic there are two main categories
Paid methods. Will cost you some money
Free methods. My personal favorite. [Don't call me stingy ]

So first the paid methods

• Pay per click: The most popular PPC is Google adwords. You need to learn how to PPC before venturing into it. The way you format your ads and the keywords you chose could make you or break you
  
  Paid advertisement in Ezines: There are some ezines ie on line newsletters that sell advertising space
  
  Paid inclusion in search engine directories eg yahoo

Free methods

• Search engine optimization: Very important for long term traffic via the search engines. Remember on page SEO and generating backlinks
  
  Blogs: You should create your own blog [free with blogger] and include links back to your site. Also you should add valuable comments in other peoples' blogs and add links to your site. Your comments MUST be valuable and add to the discussion
  
  Article Marketing: Personally I like article marketing. I tend to submit a couple of high quality aticles to the article directories and include backlinks to my websites in the signature box. Make sure you apply some SEO to your articles. I suggest goarticles and ezinearticles for this
  
  Social bookmarking sites. eg Digg, del.icio.us etc
  
  Forum participation: Again you must ensure that your comments are very useful and add to the discussion. Find high traffic forums in your niche and share your experience there. Again include the link to your website in your signature
  
  Build your opt in list: No getting around it, it is still true that the money is in the list

If you apply the above diligently, you will increase your website traffic in very little time

Of course what determines if your visitors will convert or quickly move on to another site is the quality of your content

Good luck

Niche, I like your information.
I'm new to affiliate marketing. I've lost several thousands of dollar with different kind of programs. I have decide to try and do a program without spending over $10. I have been reading everything I can find about affiliate marketing. I know that the list is one of the most important elements. Like they say, " You can have a great website, brillant sale letter, and all the other things that makes your product ilrestable, but if you can't get visitors, your dead in the water'" I would like to know some other ways to get visitors for free.

You can get traffics for exchange review, this will increase your SERP in certain keyword and will attract traffics from the blog. Beside that, social bookmarking, this is my favorite choice. Hope this help.

Don't get overwhelmed. Do little stuff but everyday, like 5-10 minutes/day and you'll see traffic increasing time to time....

I focus a lot on article marketing because of the backlinks, then forums and bloging.

Probably I will join the social marketing.
