Search is okay - but how do I get more traffic

    Good Morning All,

    I have been running a website for some time now (first in my signature) and I get some quality traffic from Google in my eyes. Without much work I get around 800 to 1000 unqiues a day from searches. I would love to grow this without doing a ton of expensive work. Without waiting on more content to pop up, which it does daily. Any ways of bringing in solid traffic?

    Not looking for money making traffic now, if the traffic is quality it will turn a buck eventually.

    Looking for folks who want to come back.

    Any ideas minus digg, stumble or sidereel let me know. I am looking for out of the box thinking or at least out of the box for me :)

    Thanks all.

    BTW - I have done directory submission. Worthless if you ask me.
    I have done some other small SEO techniques but it seems my content and google are friends and that seems to be the key for now.

    Thanks again.

    Try submitting some article to article directories. If you can think of anything newsworthy to say, it would be worth submitting a press release too.

    Thanks all for the information!

    seocipl - what exactly do you mean by social networking?
    giamatti - there used to be a link to subscribe to my feed via email and via rss and no one ever clicked on it.

    Depending on your product and if you have a decent landing page, you could also try purchasing quality targeted traffic. Or you could try link exchanging.

    appleninja, I have heard that the link exchanges really don't hold much value any longer. Am I wrong?

    Since no one has answered you yet, I'm saying it now: Digg, stumble. and sidereel are social networking sites.

    As for your initial question, try these two:

    1. Guest Posting
    2. Give something away. Anything.

    Hello...

    Indeed your site is quality.. (i like it anyway ;) ) so why not offer them the option of downloading
    your Custom "TOOLBAR" with tons of MOVIE options for them to use ;)

    Try conduit.com and see what happens...
