Experiment with the many traffic methods available to you. Some will work better than others depending on your niche. In time, you will no doubt create some methods of your own. Be honest and helpful and traffic will follow you to your site.
Articles, of course, you will hear much about. With articles you are providing free, quality content for others to read, share, and use on their sites. When webmasters use your articles on their sites, your links are attached. That provides you with back links which will help your rankings and some immediate traffic from their readers. Continue to create articles and submit them online.
Posting on social sites will get your links and information out there to the public as well. There are many good ones. I try to use several on a regular basis, like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. I have had several people follow me on Twitter and a few on you tube and Facebook.
You can make regular posts in online communities as well. They can be message boards, e-mail discussion lists or chat rooms. Posting helpful answers on message boards can bring you loyal subscribers and customers.
Place some ads on free advertising sites. You can post on free classified ad sites, free for all site links sites, even free yellow page directories. Propose exchanging classified ads with other ezine publishers.
Freebies also can boost your traffic. People love to get things for free. Give away a free ebook, report, or maybe some software. Provide free software others can also give away.
Trading links with other webmasters can be advantages to building customers with a built-in recommendation. Offer to place more ads if a webmaster has more traffic than you.
Give some of the traffic exchanges a try. Be consistent, build up your credits and add more advertisements. Most will allow you to build a down line, which will help build your credits. The more credits you build, the more ads you can run.
Starting an affiliate program will bring you plenty of traffic to your site.
Whichever method(s) you decide to use, be professional, helpful and giving of your time. It will come back to you.
