    Traffic means nothing, you could get one targeted visitor who makes a purchase, or you could get 100,000 untargeted visitors who do nothing (or are generated brom a bot). Traffic is crap, targeted traffic is the gold you seek

    davejug1, you are right.... buying traffic sucks! However, generally SE traffic (including PPC), direct traffic, and traffic from advertising is fairly targeted most of the time. Therefore, building up traffic in general (assuming it isn't purchased traffic) is generally a very good thing!

    Unless you are targeting the wrong keywords. You might be top of the search engine for "wool" but if your site is selling sheep then your traffic won't convert.

    Good point, I guess you do need to ensure you're targetting the right traffic, but it seems most people do unless they haven't focused on SEO or any internet marketing at all.

    If you just want to have traffic, you can simply buy from the many traffic sites but they're not targeted. The best is still to build your own lists.

    Try building a mini net around your money site using web 2.0 properties all linking to each other and your site then bookmark and ping these and you should start seeing more traffic.

    First you need to submit your site to all search engine and directory.
    use social bookmarking sites to promote your site also.
    After that use article submission.
    Then use PPC campaign with a best and relevant keyword.
