How to get good traffic?

    I have signed up for traffic boost and I have paid people to send me traffic here on DP. But I am wondering how do I get traffic from places where the people will actually want to be at my site. How do you get more traffic? And keep in mind I do not want to get black listed, And I know I need good content and easy access & SEO. But how do you guys get your websites out there to have a chance with the rest of the world?

    By placing nice ads in all kinds of sites that its traffic may be interested in.

    It's partially how this site got to be so big, and it's how other sites got to be so big.

    Yes. Next to word of mouth, it is the only real way to get good, consistent traffic, without working so hard at it.

    It's not seo, it's not signatures, it's not social networks....


    Here are other sources:

    Search engines:

    MSN
    Yahoo
    Ask (AskJeeves)
    AltaVista
    MetaSpider
    Vivisimo
    PlanetSearch
    SurfWax
    qbSearch
    ProFusion
    Proteus
    Go2Net
    MegaGo.com
    WebFile
    MyGO
    MegaCrawler
    Jayde
    Burf
    Search-O-Rama
    Cipinet
    InfoTiger
    G7K
    TowerSearch
    RealTech Miva
    Chitika
    VCM
    LookSmart
    NnSeek
    iWon.com
    Exactseek
    Jayde
    ScrubTheWeb
    Search.com
    MetaCrawler
    Dogpile
    Mamma
    C4
    Canada.com
    Ixquick
    Infogrid
    Query Server
    WebInfoSearch
    800go
    Debriefing
    Highway 61
    SearchAve
    Aesop
    GoTo Mixcat
    Abacho
    Igwanna
    SearchEngine
    Find
    Once Search-The-World
    Beamed
    SearchPixie
    GoClick
    Abcsearch
    Pageseeker
    Lycos Insite
    SearchFeed
    411Web
    GenieKnows
    Searchfeed
    Search123
    A9com
    FreeEmail123
    Amfibi
    37.com
    OneSeek
    WebSquash

    Other advertising networks:

    TextLinkAds, TrafficSwarm, CasaleMedia.com, FastClick, BurstMedia, FC, TribalFusion, Azoogle, CPA Empire, GlobalInteractive, AdBrite, Adengage, RealMedia, Kontera, Avnads, ValueClick, Vibrant, RealTechNetwork, Dotomi….


    Plus you can do it yourself. Create some nice ads, and start contacting webmasters.

    Use compete.com to roughly see how many monthly visitors a particular webmaster gets. If it isn't very much, you may want to pass on him.

    It isn't accurate, of couse, but it at least gets you in the parking lot of the ballpark.

    The more places you advertise in, the more money you make. Even if it is only, say, $50 a month from each site.

    It's all about volume.

    WOW! thanks for all the info I just saved the message in a txt file. I did know about a good few that you listed but not that many. I got 3 making me decent money but I am aiming to make $50-$100 a day instead of these on and off days where I make $10-$25 a day off the 3.

    purchase links on site, Not for the traffic, but for the pagerank, then as your pagerank increases :D you get more hits from google.
    Its a lot better then buying traffic ...

    I meant dreads.

    But I can't see your site under those words. I just did Google, though.

    If you are getting in some traffic, then you yourself already know how little traffic and sales, if any sales at all, engines can bring in. You know the reality of it.

    Im not quite sure what you mean, I bought SpeedImg.com For $200 and it has made me $49.31 in adsense in 18 days. So I think I am doing Ok. And I have a higher Alexa rank than most image hosts.

    Never buy traffic from anybody; those are fake traffic. You gotta work hard to get real traffic as you are trying now.

    make a list of marketing efforts you gonna make and work on schedule.

    Some techniques for marketing and traffic:
    - SEO. Do onpage and off page SEO for your site
    - Post comments on blogs
    - Classified ads
    - forum posts with your site link on the signature.
    - Write articles and post them on article directories
    - Make a blog and post useful things on topics related to your site niche; make some keywords link pointing to your site
    .....
    and the list goes on:)

    I have been using opt-in newsletters and sending emails to people. I always get traffic from those emails. The newsletter among other things asks to send the mail to a friend so you get referral traffic too.

    For me, Search Engine traffic is the best targeted traffic... so, the secret is how many quality articles you write. The more quality articles you write, the more traffic you'll get from the search engines.(You've to follow some seo tips like submitting a sitemap to google,etc to make your web pages index faster and better).

    One more question kill 2 birds with one thread. Does anyone else have on and off days with adsense or does it stay steady. Because I got $25 on friday and $18 on saturday then on sunday I only got $11 and today a weak ass $0.38... Does it ever stay steady so you can estimate what you will be making?
