How to get more traffic for free ?

    I'm in problem : I have several sites, with good pagerank (4-5), but very low traffic. (several thousand / month)

    It seems, regardless the good SE positions, few visitors come.

    Any good idea ? (ok, other than good positioned banner ads)

    I think you should focus more on the targeted visitors and look the ways to retain them.

    Are you targeting the keywords that are being searched a lot? Or you are just targeting your site name? :p

    Use opt in service provided by awber and give some free stuff
    and collects opt ins. After it send them free tips daily via email
    so go on increasing returning visitors to your site.

    Thanx

    Ranking high and low traffic? What's your niche? That's pretty much impossible.

    What's been working for you so far? If you have some high ranking, low traffic keywords, maybe you need to target more of them. Or maybe it's time to start targeting higher competition, higher traffic keywords. Whatever you are doing now to drive the traffic you are getting, chances are if you do more of it, or find a way to improve what you are doing, you will get more traffic.

    Perhaps you are getting too little traffic due to your niche?
