    Lets say you have a site, you get as little as 20 traffic per day. Are you unhappy? Of course you are. With all the efforts you put together to get your site up and running, you can hope that visitors will be flocking to your site. Now in real world traffic is something that don't come easy, unless you already know your ways. So what can you do to improve your traffic?

    For problems like this I always suggest working on three processes together side by side.

    Content

    Improve the content of your site. As said content is always the king. Content is what will make a visitor come back to your site, establish a brand.

    Short Term Marketing

    If you happen to be getting very little traffic you should take strategy of introducing your site to as many new people as possible. Why? Since not many people know about your site, you have to take the opportunity of spreading the words; pushing your site in front of them to take a look.

    So what are the short term marketing solutions? There are many. To mention a few classified advertising, submission to social networking sites, submission to social bookmarking sites, forum signatures are some solutions.

    Post on classified ads sites weekly. There are quite a few free classified ads sites which are free to post. Take advantage of them getting traffic to your site.

    Submit you website pages to social networking sites like Digg.com etc. If people happen to like the content submitted you can get thousands of visitors.

    Be member of as many forums as you can. Put your website link on you forum signature. Add an avatar as well with your url on it. Post on forums as often as you can. The more people see your signature and avatar, the more are the chances getting some traffic.

    Long Term Marketing

    SEO is the most important thing you could do for you site. Traffic from search engines could bring you hundreds, even thousands of daily traffic.

    There are two main elements involved in getting search engine traffic. On-Page optimization which involves optimizing your pages for your desired keywords. And secondly link building. Lot of people do not realize how powerful link building is. Build as many backlinks as you can. Get links from free directories and other sources as much as you can. Never stop building links, its a continual process.
