    There are hundreds of ways to drive traffic to your site. The vast majority of them are a waste of time. Here are 4 time tested methods that work like crazy.

    1. Forum marketing - Look for niche forums and become an active participant - Remember to add your sig. file

    2. Blog - This is a great way to build a relationship and establish yourself as an expert.

    3. Pay per click - One of the quickest ways to get traffic to your site.

    4. Article writing - one of my favorite methods of driving traffic to my site.

    SOCIAL BOOKMARKING!
    Be friendly and build up a large followers base.
    On the first day of my site being up, i accumulated 1000 visitors from stumbleupon alone. The site was only a quarter completed and i had previousy used no advertising techniques.

    I agree on this one. If you spend some time on this one, you will generate a huge amount of traffic, and its free which is a bonus.

    Yes, SEO is a must. But you need to consider that it will take for a while when you will see some result from SEO if you are at a competitive niche.

    And on the other hand you need to take pace with SEs because they change their criterias continuously. So it may be that you are on the first page on Google one day but next day not.

    In my experience you can get rapid traffic by making PPC, using good article marketing and buying backlinks.

    PPC might be the fastest way to drive targeted traffic to your site but in the long term I prefer organic traffic.
    The organic traffic is converting slightly better and it's free (once you made it in the top3).

    Social bookmarking does bring a lot of traffic sometimes, but it's CRAP traffic. Doesn't convert very well at all.

    Search engine traffic is where the money's at.

    The best way to get good quality traffic is from search engines, if you rank well for a key word you can get tons of traffic from it

    What about SEO? Isn't that considered as the most effective way to get free and organic traffic?

    Create good and unique contents and more and more people will voluntarily come forward to link to your site. This is what happened to one of my sites...
