    Thanks for this, just what I was looking for. Could you elaborate on Search Engine Marketing and Viral Marketing?

    And would you really put blog commenting in 2nd? I mean, it is good for building links, but I haven't had much consistent luck with getting actual traffic.

    Blog commenting takes time. But it is worth the effort to do it for long term because we will see good traffic improvement in the long term.

    Yahoo! Answer traffic is the best because it is the most targeted traffic.

    Social Bookmarking Can give our site huge traffic but they are not really targeted. Traffic easy come and go.

    Thanks for sharing.
    I would argue that some of those are better for backlinks rather than traffic though.

    Hi james, viral marketing usually means a viral video or game that spreads without any (much) effort on your part as it is so good, so people want to see it and add it to their sites, thus growing the links and coverage of your website massively.

    This is what we use to market ourselves (gamesquat)

    Probably,but if you have more backlinks that means that your site will rank higher in the search engines and you will get more traffic.

    I have to agree that Yahoo! Answers traffic is great. You can target things pretty specifically to exactly what you're looking for, and questions get indexed pretty quickly and provide nice backlinks.

    article and social bookmarking are great ways to drive some traffic to your website.
    You should include link baiting as well, regarding controversal articles, as well as twiter, if used right

    Those are pretty well known ways. I think some of those may be outdated as now after many years in online media and after using many of the traffic techniques above I have figured out that you are a lot better off getting targeted traffic than trying just to get the largest numbers even if it is just random views.

    Search Engine Marketing meaning optimizing your website, onpage and offpage optimization.

    There are many Viral Marketing Methods..
    Some of these are: Tell Friends Scripts, Affiliate Programs, Rebrandable Ebooks, Social Bookmarking..

    Viral Marketing is basically your visitors creating and sending more and more traffic to your site or links.

    Hope this helps..

    I personally find that twitter is better than facebook or myspace for traffic generator especially when you have many follower...
