Traffic is the life line of any internet business and whether you pay for it or not, you do need targeted traffic for your niche. When someone build a website, it will not get much traffic or any traffic without the right form of promotion. You have to spread the word out so others will know that your website exists.
There are hundred ways to do this but I’ve summarize the 10 most effective ways to generate traffic for your website. If your site is new, this is also a great way to get your website indexed by the search engines.
1. Start a Blog
If you haven’t heard about blog, it is an old but very effective way to create free traffic to your website. Blogs are easy and free to create so most beginners who don’t want to spend much money online should take advantage of this free source of traffic. You can start your own blog today free at Blogger. If you would like to have your own domain name, you can check out Wordpress – extremely popular these days.
2. Write articles
Another cheap yet really effective way to drive traffic to your website is writing articles. It’s free to sumit to articles directories so take advantage of it. The biggest article site to submit your articles to is EzineArticles and I usually sumit my articles there first before anywhere else. Articlebase is another great article site to post your articles.
3. Youtube videos
Create many videos and post it on Youtube is another great way to get traffic to your site. This could be a time consuming job and you need some screen shot video software to do this. I personally use Camtasia video software ($300) but you can find something for free if you look around. What I suggest is you make at least 5-10 videos and post it to Tubemogul, it’s way easier and faster to upload your videos to many different video sites.

4. Blogs’ comments
Go around and look for blogs in your related niche market and give comments. When doing that, make sure to put your website urls to increase traffics and backlinks to your site. Write good comments not spamming on others’ blog or they might delete your post. Do not waste your time leaving comments on no-follow blogs.
5. Craigslist Ads
Free ads is a great advantage to drive traffics to your site. Craigslist is a big site so it is a great place to put your ads. However, don’t do it too crazy because they will remove your ads due to spam. I usually put up 3 ads a day in different cities and different contents to make sure you stay clean.
This is an awesome source of targeted traffics because there are thousands of questions posted on there everyday. People are looking for solutions to their problems and you can help them by dropping some helpful answer. Make sure you put your website url to link back to your page.
7. Forum traffic
Forums are great source of targeted traffic that you can not miss. Go ahead and sign up with different forum right now and start posting useful comments to questions. Make sure to find the forums that related to your niche market. In every post, create a link back to your websites and blogs. Try to keep your links relevant to the forum posts, don’t just leave a link just for the sake of it. Some good forums for internet marketing niche are Warriors, DigitalPoint.
8. Twitter and Facebook
These are also great places to promote your website. If you have lots of followers in Twitter of friends on Facebook, you can let them know about your website and increase traffics. There are many ways to get thousands of followers on your Twitter by going around and follow other people or use some automate paid soft wares.

This seems like nothing but we are looking for improving page rank on search engine which can generate more natural traffic.
