You can also try using a viral widget or tell a friend Widget to drive a boat load of free friend referred traffic to your website. What this does is this convinces the friend to come to your site and see what you have going on.

Submit to site directories
Submit with your site’s name using your keywords, and then you could be ranked more highly on Google for those keywords, which means more traffic.

Joining Communities
Joining forums is a great way to promote your service and to network. If you become an active member in forums you can use your reputation to promote your website. Many forums receive large amounts of traffic and people pay attention to well respected members with high post counts.

Submit your blog to search engines
Most people get the majority of their traffic from search engines. When people search for your keyword and find your site or blog, there’s more traffic.

Writing articles
Writing articles is a great, free way to promote your online business, and can bring in a substantial number of targeted customers to your site, usually within a few days. The key is to submit your article to as many databases and directories as possible.

Don't forget to focus on your website's content too. This will drive traffic to your site especially if the content is interesting for your visitors. Search engines love attractive content and index sites that have these too.

Regular updating content in your blogs is very helpful method also. Content must be unique and informative. Social bookmarking of those content and social networking like twitter, facebook also help to get good amount of traffic to your site. Another good way is getting link from your niche sites.

The best free backlinks are articles, forum posts, blog comment and profile links. Just stick to these and you should be able to rank up in less then 3 months.

I'll think of this one.

Given a budget, I would always opt for PPC. PPC is a very effective way of getting targeted traffic given the proper treatment. Identify your niche and select the market you want to cater to and start from there. Research also on the keywords your desired market would most likely be looking for. IMO, one should be more focused on getting targeted traffic than just page views. Buying targetted link backs are also effective at getting targeted traffic.

Another great way of targetting your desired audience is through forum posting on similar niche with your link on your signature. What I like about forum posting is that it is totally free.

Your content will always be a factor to be considered. Getting traffic is just the initial phase, making the conversion from your traffic will depend on how well you match your visitors' needs

The most effective in a short time would be paid advertising. Of course that costs money and the more you spend, the more brand awareness and traffic you would hopefully get. You can do it on a budget with PPC ads on Google and Facebook as well as others.

The Free ways are effective but take time. In the end, content is king. If you drive people to your web site, you want them to like it and come back for more. You'll be able to tell quickly by watching your bounce rate on your site through google analytics.

Those are indeed good sources of traffic. The more traffic the more chance of having a customer.

Exactly i completely agree with you on this. Content is the most important thing. You need to provide a unique content if you want to increase the traffic. People would like to read something new every time and will get back to your site again again.

Creating quality of inbound links or back links helps generate traffic. To create links, engaging on the following helps:

online group posting
press release
classified ads
forum posting
blog commenting
article submission
social networking
