    SEO is one of the biggest methods in web marketing history and should be the staple of any major long-term campaign for a site.

    If one builds enough backlinks and authority for a niche, Google will send perpetual, passive traffic your way for a long time. :)

    In some cases it's good to use Youtube as traffic generator, if we have content related stuff on ours websites then it's huge possibility that we interest visitors.

    One of the best ways to drive traffic is to run a giveaway sweepstakes and promote it on your social media channels plus applicable sweepstakes sites. It has brought me consistent traffic and raised us through the Alexa rankings.

    One can get traffic through blogs and articles. But the need is to provide best and unique information in blogs and articles so that people attract to your site for their response. and by conversation we can attract them more for more response and this way we can more traffic.

    Traffic Generation

    Start with KW research - pick 3-5 keywords to base your entire blog around
    Analyze your competition (traffic travis, market samurai)
    Onpage SEO to rank organically
    * keyword in title, description, H1, H2 and H3
    * all pictures alt tagged
    Link to SM
    Content :cool:
    High PR backlinks - Ping fm, only wire, pixelpipe, hello txt, tube mogul
    Throw in some edu and gov backlinks and that's it!

    This is my rinse and repeat system I use for all of my micro niche blogs - works every time

    I am new in this forum, have been a member of several others for over a year. I thought I would make the move over here and start to contribute and meet you all.

    Emma :)

    Article marketing, blog commenting and press releases are some of the best traffic that the search engines will pay heed to

    That's a pretty good idea, *press releases*. Good way to make people go to your site after they learn about it...

    Traffic is everywhere, but if you are looking for targeted traffic, then definitely SE traffic rules

    SEO traffic is my favorite. If you pick the right keywords once you get ranked it is pretty much passive traffic from then on out.

    Just make sure you don't pick something to competitive or you have to constantly build links. But even then, it is not to difficult to outsource simple link building to keep your spots.

    I still have sites that I put up years ago that I haven't built one link to after the site ranked and the still get good traffic every month.

    First make necessary corrective measures within your site like adding meta data,good content and then target some low competitive keywords and now build backlinks for those keywords to rank them well in search engines and this is how you can get organic traffic.

    Wondering what niche you have? Driving traffic depends a little bit on your niche.
