    social networking are very popular and an easy way to add traffic to your site. One of those social networks ill suggest you is stumbleupon. Traffic takes times to get but never give up!

    I think you can post comments on your related niche blogs to get useful traffic. Some of the new bloggers rely upon Entrecard also!

    Social sites seem to be the way forward. Social Media Marketing is the use of Social Media sites (of course) such as FaceBook, Twitter and MySpace, to send traffic to your sites. You can get a lot of traffic very quickly with these types of sites and the best part is it’s FREE!

    Do blog commenting on similar blogs and you can expect some targetted traffic. You can also include the blog URL in forum signatures.
