How Would You Spend $400 To Boost This Website

I have a website cashflowinvestor.com.au, which is an educational blog about positive cash flow property in Australia.

Target traffic: Australia
Goal: 3,000 visitors/month ongoing
Budget: $400
Currently: 1,000 visitors/month (about 650 from search engines)
Email subscribers: 500+

I have $400 and want to grow my site from 1,000 visitors/month to over 3,000 visitors per month by the end of the year.
I can't spend the money on junk articles, because it is a very targeted niche and I don't want to have junk articles on my site.

If you were me, how would you invest this money?

Some ideas I have:
- Writing quality articles....how much would this cost?
- Pay forum posters
- Pay for junk articles on article sites (ezinearticles.com)
- Pay for backlinks.

I want the traffic I get to be on going. Not just a one off hit.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, if your wanting more traffic then I wouldnt invest in paying forum posters etc.

    Sounds like you should do some media buying or SEO. But, like you said 'pay for backlinks' you cant just pay for backlinks..theres so much more to SEO but in the end its worth it and you can have tons of traffic.

      So would you recommend getting some quality articles written on keywords I want to target?

        I'm not sayingto not buy backlinks...basically, if your going for SEO theres so many options..first I;d get your on page seo checked out then go off page and get some high pr's and yes get some high quaity 600-800 word articles written with a decently dense keyword.

    i would suggest you hire writers and post articles to your website...submit them to articles directories also...

    pay about $99 to get to the first page of search engine(look under in warrior forum)...which i think is good for long term...

    seo is right way to approach as you are target audience is in Australia. I think you can pretty easily rank this website.
