      You have many ways in which you can draw traffic to your site but by far the best option is to put out quality content but here's the trick, when you release your content put it out partially on some web 2.0 sites and lead them to your personal blog for the remainder of the meat.
      This will give you the best results just remember not to scrimp on the quality.

    One great way to do this is by promoting your social media profiles. Getting more twitter followers, Google + votes, & Facebook likes. Doing this can give you more traffic.

    I have had great success by going to fiverr and getting this. You have to make sure that you are getting "real" followers, +'s, & so on.

    Here is my free traffic routine.

    1. Create a blog post (every day) that targets a keyword phrase related to my niche
    2. Syndicate to onlywire, blogengage, and other similar sites
    3. When applicable I will turn blog post into a pdf or video and post to content sharing or video sharing sites.
    4. Post blog to 10-15 Facebook groups related to my niche in addition to my own.
    5. Create 1- 2 Free Reports (15-20 pages) a month and promote on blog and Facebook Ads.
    6. Try to submit 5 guest blog posts/month to other high traffic sites (~ one a week)
    7. I will make sure blog posts are being submitted to Twitter
    8. Every once in a while I will post to ning sites (used to do this alot)

    If you have a little bit of a budget solo ads (just started doing this) and was able to get a lot of leads but the verdict is still out on this.

    The key is consistency and full out action every day until you can get some momentum around your brand/blog/business. It takes time...period and you want to always make sure you are providing value.

    Unless you can buy your traffic. So figure out what you want to leverage - your time or your money to get you the results you want in the amount if time you want.

    One of the things I wish I had done from the very beginning was map out a keyword and SEO content plan so I was targeting keywords I could actually rank for. Anything in online marketing, internet marketing, blogging, making money online is tough - alot of competition.

      Many thanks for the sound info.

      I'm curious to know if there is any sort of ratio between visitors and purchases or visitors and clicks?

      For instance, at the moment I have a site getting 3000 uniques per month and bringing $12 Adsense income but no purchases from the site through Amazon, Clickbank or Linkshare.

      How many visitors are needed to get $1200 per month in Adsense? 300,000? Or is it easier to have 100 sites with 3000 visitors bringing in $12 per month each?

      I'm a newbie at this IM game, although a long-time Web developer.

    One important thing that I have learnt is to not just write a random article on what I might think is interesting and hope it receives a lot of traffic. The best way is to write what is 'hot' at the time - to find this I usually Google my keyword +forum and look in forums what is being talked about the most and then do a blog around that.

    SEO is a must, i'd recommend Wordpress SEO by Yoast as a plugin to help you with that. I've tried the others and keep coming back to this one.
    Social Media is also key, but its so much more than just submitting your posts, its about building your following, commenting on other posts, building your reputation.
    Its none stop and you constantly have to work on it.
    I went from 25 followers on Twitter to over 1000 in just a couple of weeks, all targetted by either keyword or by someone they follow who is considered a LEAD figure in my Niche. It works. but you have to work at it contstantly.
    Stick with it.

    I post my blog posts in relevant Facebook groups and that tends to get me a good amount of traffic coming to my blog.
    It's also a lot easier to rank videos on youtube than on a new blog, so you could do do videos and put a link to your blog in the resource box. That's also a great way to get traffic to your blog.
    Hope this helps

    I post a lot of articles everyday to get maximum content to pull in the most amount of traffic I can from various searches within my niche. If you are just starting out maybe use plr content spin it and post it for a while until your blog gets attention and steady traffic. This will give you a good little boost.

    I have an idea for you. Promote on fiverr your gigs. Also, promote them on your blog and web pages. Then link to them from a site using word press. Do not promote in word press. Otherwise your blog gets taken away. Simple add a link to your site from one of your posts in word press. Make most of your posts on word press valuable content over 90% and slip in a few plugs for your own fiverr gigs. Be careful not to make it too commercial or your viewers go away. All the best to you.

    The most importnant thing is to set up a daliy routine of your ways to market that get the best resonse and do it in unlimited volumes. Be patient and persistent and it will come. Currently articles, classfied ads and social media are probably the easiest, less exspensive, and funest ways to market.

    Back-Link Development is the key to a successful website after the recent Penguin update early last year. The more back-links, the better the traffic to your site.

    Here are some tips for your link-development:

    1. Content Syndication
    2. Blog Commenting
    3. Sponsoring WordPress Themes
    4. Article Directories
    5. SEO
    6. Video Marketing
    7. Forum Marketing
    8. Web 2.0
    9. Ego-Bait
    10. Interviews
    11. Social Networking
    12. Fiverr Gigs

    I've written a massive guide on Back-Linking, you might want to check that out for a more in-depth explanation on the topic.

    Hope this helped you! If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I'll be more than happy to answer your questions!

    Ok! I understand you!
    There is lot of talk among bloggers that guest posting is awesome way to build up your online exposure. Good thing for you would be to connect with other bloggers in your niche.

    Other cool tip is that you can download for free program called feedreader. This program allows you to be the first to comment on any blog post. Just download this program, add blog rss feeds to it and program will notice you every time new blog post is published, so you can be the first person to post comment.
    Best wishes!

    without going into a hundred different ways to generate traffic to your blog i will give you the most important one and the most powerful one

    (posting every day or posting very regular)

    that is it

    (this is much more important when it comes to new or newer blogs/sites because you need to get the word out)

    as long as you start getting very active on your blog the search engine spiders will start to crawl your site more

    just make sure you have social buttons on your blog so that your content can be shared

    saying all this, you DO NEED to create good content

    no one is going to come back to your site to read rubbish

      Real talk. The great thing about opt-in email lists that you generate yourself is that you can keep coming back to users who may have visited your site only once before. You get many bites at the apple, so to speak. Compare this to the regular affiliate marketing situation where someone visits your site, bounces out, and never comes back.

    One great way that I like is to build an FB page (takes all of 5 minutes). Encourage your blog readers to "like" it. Then each time you create a post, add it to the FB page and when people "like" it or "share" it, you'll get more "likes" from FB and those people will in turn go to your blog.

    Don't always create promotional content on the blog. Create value that people will want to share and comment on.

    Also, create images with perhaps some inspirational quotes and add those to your FB page. Perhaps, if the image is related to a recent post, also link to the post with a short intro (after uploading the image). People share photos more than just links usually.

    Persevere and stay consistent. If you are providing value people will come. Just "market" a little (in ethical ways) to encourage it.
