    Submit your site in
    1. different forums,
    2. social networking site like facebook, myspace etc
    3. write blog and use deep linking
    4. don't send your visitors to your homepage every time they click ... let them climb upto your homepage

    Social bookmark sites are good way to get some free traffic. Link trades and submitting to directoires help site get better search engine rank so that helps also.

    Social Networking sites like MySpace has unlimited traffic potential if utilized to the best. A bit traffic is pulled from DP forum signatures too, provided u have a good relevant post count value, as becoz some of DP posts show up in google first page PR for some specific keyword searches......howver the power of SEO is immense in free traffic creation, provided u know the background part of SEO<:)

    I agree with social bookmarking, it really boosts site traffics.
    I suggest stumbleupon as a good source of it.


    Another way is online groups.

    You touched my point here.

    from big-size and anneras post I can see that the list is incomplete. come on people, the list is virtually not limited. There always will be new techniques.

    but my point is that we have to work on our list of techniques and search for the best ones, the ones that will fit our needs, expectations and normally what we are able to do. But in order to do all of this, we normally have to organize and have a list.

    concerning my comment before, at the moment I would give 7 to social bookmarking, 6 to having a quality blog and I would give 8 to SEO. It is fastest and most direct way to attract attention, but without the target audience (social bookmarking, articles, blog and the others) you are only at the begining of road.

    What are the opinions of the others?

    regards

    First of all, Hello Barre Tire...I'm in Sharon, VT!
    I have a 2 year old ecommerce store selling educational software. It's a pretty competitive market and we've worked hard doing SEO and now rank #11 out of 149,000,000 hits and #26 out of 343,000,000 hits for 2 keyword phrases we've targeted. Many other other words do better, but these 2 hav been a struggle.

    We get traffic, but want and need more. We have just posted to 70 social bookmarking sites and I see for this forum that most agree it is important and will help. Does anyone have experience on how this affects traffic...does it grow slowly...might I see a spike?

    We are very anxious to capture back-to-school traffic and are ready and willing to employ all good SEO techniques.We've written 3 articles (just started this endeavor) and have one press release and send newsletters.

    Thanks to everyone for sharing advice and experience.
