How do you increase daily traffic to 1000+ visitor a day?

Currently couple of links from strategic sites, search engines, and social bookmarking sites (stumbleupon in particular), account for traffic at around 300-500 users per day. Does any one have experience in taking sites from this range to the next level, 1000+ users per day range? If so, what are the top one or two things driving this level of traffic to your site?

In the past I have tried pay for traffic methods. My Alexa traffic ranking goes up, but in Google Analytics they hardly register as the duration is to small. I do not want to send random users to my site.

Search engines account for 10-15% of my traffic and I rank for various keywords. What % of traffic comes from search at 1000+ user range?

What are the ways you have been able to increase your traffic effectively? I am looking for 1-2 key distinctions from people who have actually accomplished these levels or more, personally or as a team. Please state the website as well, as this will help give everyone credibility and you a link! (Mine is seoecom.com)

 

As a directory owner i came across a site that gets most of its sites traffic from directorycritic and not so much search engines. I have top keyword rankings; pretty much anyway. And some sites that are top are not getting diddly traffic.
So i think its down to links, advertising, money in most cases....

 

may i know whats your site about...so i can give you some suggestions

 

Daily work... that's the key.

Here's my story:
- How my site traffic went from 37 monthly visits to 14,657 monthly unique visits
- How my site traffic climbed to 35,459 monthly unique visits

 

Yes. I've recently taken a site from 500 to 3000 uniques daily.. The answer is simple: Relevant in-bound links combined with a big net (lots of juicy content)..

Avoid two-way links.
Make sure the links are related.
Make sure your site has enough content to catch people's searches.

The rest is in the SEO magic....

 

Excellent tips especially the last one about making sure that the site has enough content to catch searches.

 

Try Inbound links with SEO and google Adword for targeted traffic.

 

Do you use eBay stores to create keyword targeted auction titles which will then get picked up by the search engines - this can be effective also and will contribute towards an increase in daily traffic

I guess it depends if there is something relevant that you can list on eBay on an ongoing basis (small report or similar maybe)

 

If there is a formula to do it, nobody will tell you. They will use it to their advantages by creating more and more sites and getting traffic. Only you have to figure it out by reading snippets of information scattered all around the web.

 

You could certainly improve your SEO. I get 400+ search engine visitors per day to my month old website (signature link).

 

Links, links and more links.

 

Better search engine rankings or more advertising.

 

def search engines is what will bring you major traffic consistently. I myself am still working on getting my SEO on and getting more inbound links

 

live-cms_com, I'm just curious, but in the first few pages of a search, your site doesn't come up in Google or Yahoo under keywords such as, wallpaper, desktop wallpaper, screensavers....

What am I missing here?

 

Forums tend to have lots more repeat visitors so if you have a sticky site pretty easy reaching this level. Much harder getting this many visitors from the search engines every day.

 

If I was ranking for such competitive terms I would be getting 4000 visitors rather than 400 per day.

My main rankings are for 'Naruto Wallpaper' etc. Go read the case study, I explain there.

 

I'm just curious why you are showing us a way to increase search engine traffic, but you aren't coming up in those most common keywords, but you are under "Naruto Wallpaper." Your site's URL has "naruto" in it. So....

 

Do you expect me to be beating 60 million competitors for the term 'wallpapers' after just 1 month? I am ranking top 10 for my target key phrase 'naruto wallpaper'. 1 month is a short time frame to be getting 400 visitors per day from search engines and all comments on the case study have been good.

 

I am open to suggestions. My site is seoecom is about 3 months old now. Since this posting I have been able to cross the 2000+ visits a day through PPC methods. The site ranks for many things in Google, but not Yahoo. Do I have to pay $299 to get in Yahoo search results? Google brings in about 1000 users/month (Google) and Yahoo 10. Any suggestions, from the Yahoo SEO experts?
