Well here we go, its my time to rant, therefore just be quite and read! So you want to get real traffic that counts to your website? Well your in luck, this is the one place where you can learn how to do it! Traffic as we know it, is simply people coming to your website for a specific reason. (the reason is yet to be decided) So the first step in getting real traffic is to have something real on your site that makes people want to come and generate that traffic which you desire. Here are a couple of ways to generate traffic fairly easily.
User Forums: User forums are a great way to get constant traffic on any website, the problem is that if it gets big and most usually do it will be a big bandwidth eater.
Article Submissions: There are lots of places where you can submit articles / tutorials with a link to your site. This generates traffic as if someone who read your article liked it they will usually check out your site to see if you offer more. So be sure to have some good content on your page for them to be happy with!
Directories: While directories dont necessarily draw traffic to you themselves. It will create you good inbound and back links. These will both help you get ranked better in your selective keywords. The best traffic comes from a site which ranks well, plain and simple. The only way to rank well is to get links o plenty. Our site has a list of places you can submit to for inclusion. If you get into half of these you will probably generate a few hundred strong links.
After the above is done its time to start altering your content so that people who visit will be happy. Having features like video upload, contests, prizes and the like are also great.
