there are many ways on how to get quality traffic, submit your sites in social sites like digg and many more and do follow blog
post more quality contnt rather than quantitative content submit blog posts to sites, submit ur site to dirs and search engines remember to submit sitemaps if u have private hosted blog
What about the traditional method of submitting some content to article sites for the direct traffic and the backlinks?
I came across a website that send free traffic quickly to my blog through article marketing. They are free to join. What I usually do is submit my wordpress blog to their system and a bunch of authors and writers would post unique articles daily to my blog on the keyword or topic I choose... I usually get around 10-20 post per day, sometime even more. Within two weeks or a month... I would start get at least 50 - 100 Unique Hits to my website per day from the search engine. Now it's grown to 300 Unique Hits Per Day! It looks like the more unique articles post on my blog the more google index these articles and as a result I get some decent hits from google. This is the fastest way I know where you can get some good quality traffic for free. I am not sure if I am allow to post the link of the company here.... so if this interest you, just send me a private message and I'll send you the link so you can signup to the company site for free.
you should look at hot topics in digg.com and write about hottest, changing little from orginal articles. I think it will increase visitors
