    Hi,
    I am in the process of flipping a few websites and I want wondering what would be one of the best ways to get traffic to my website before I flip it (because website with more traffic sell for more)

    1. Search Engine Optimization is a huge plus when flipping websites, due to the fact SEO service work can cost anywhere from $50.00 for a cheap service, to several thousand dollars for premium quality if you already have this done people will greatly appreciate it.

    2. Advertise, advertise, advertise. Get your friends, family, and your neighbors dog to come to the website, the more traffic you have the much higher chance you have of selling a already established website.

    That was helpful hints as to getting some traffic, although if you want a quick and easy way. Pay-to-click advertising would be a good option. Using a company such as bux.to is a bad idea, although taketheglobe or pay2surf.net are your premium bets. I know it would cost you some quick cash, but in the long run you would be able to show that you had several thousand links in just a few days.

    you can either organically build it up or buy PPC traffic.

    Also, get lots of backlinks to get higher rankings in google for your website keywords. That way you get more and more search engine traffic.

    Backlinks is a good idea, as that can create organic traffic. I personally feel that if you use PPC methods you need to show that the money you spend is making you money, otherwise it's useless. If you show that you get 1,000 visitors per day costing $100, yet you only make $10 per day, then it's not a great model and the amount of traffic you get is not important. If, however, you can show that spending $1,000 on PCC rakes in $1,500 of sales, then it's something that someone else can simply take over and continue with.

    Having said that, if you had that as a business model, why would you sell it anyway?? :)
