How to increase traffic on my new site

    I recently created an ecommerce site and would like feedback on how to increase traffic to it. It sells high end headphones from name brands like dr. dre beats and such.I created a facebook page, linked my twitter, and started a blog attached to the site. How do I hit the ground running and start creating interest on this newly created site. I don't know if I can post the site here, if the mods allow I will. Anyway back to the question, what are some great ways to generate traffic for an ecommerce site?

    Social platforms such as facebook, twitter, pinterest, linkedin are indispensable in promoting E-commerce websites. Consider buying some likes/followers for facebook page/twitter profile to get the snowball rolling.

    ok I'll check into the buying of facebook likes

    what about the following:

    1. google adsense, pay google for certain keyword clicks
    2. hiring someone to create backlinks to my site?
    3. Hiring an SEO service

    I need to achieve a profit and keep costs low, what sort of marketing/seo is best for an ecommerce site? My main goal is to attract organic traffic, I don't care if I get 1,000/day page views or 75 views/day if I make the sale, its money in my pocket. How can I attract quality traffic?

    thanks a bunch!

    1. Update the site daily: Post something daily to your website as people are looking for new and latest stuff on internet. Strong keyword which attracts visitors: Do some research and come up with list of keywords which people are searching in internet. Use those keywords on your site in articles.​

    2. Post site link (signature) in forums: Post your website link in forums which are related to your website. Make sure that the post in forum should be informative and helpful for others then only they will visit your website.​

    3. Backlinks: Backlinks, also known as incoming links, inbound links, inlinks, and inward links, are incoming links to a website or web page. In basic link terminology, a backline is any link received by a web node (web page, directory, website, or top level domain) from another web node.​

    4. Directory submissions: Online directory submission is a process which includes identification of proper category and filing the website or webpage detail in particular related category and get it approved by directory editor.​

    5. Article submissions: Write some article related to your website and submit it to any article directories.​

    6. Classified ads: Advertise your website using advertising services, there are many free classifieds out there where you can specify your website and get some traffic from them

    You should start doing SEO on your website and buy backlinks. Backlinks help to improve traffic coming from Search Engines like Google. There are tons of backlinking services out there, but i recommend BacklinkFX.com. I used it for my new website and it gave good traffic results.
