    Try to gain a bunch of followers on Twitter and maybe get some traffic from there.
    Post on game forums that will let you put link in signature.

    If you feel comfortable with advertising on Facebook, I'd recommend you create a fanpage and get people to like it - either with ads or by joining other similar groups in the gaming niche and recommending your fanpage in your posts (free approach). With FB advertising, target active gaming groups and fanpages. Then, once people are interacting on your own fanpage, direct them to visit your website.

    What I've been doing is posting on forums and groups which have people who are interested in what I write about. If you're not really interested in games and just using it as a means to make a quick buck, people might sense that.

    Do you like what you are trying to sell? Living breathing your passion is invaluable. People can pick up on it and begin to believe in you. You'll see that in numerous books about success.

    I think have reliable traffic you don't have to babysit or keep paying for is the best kind of traffic. I would look into SEO.

    Everyone hates it but it has incredible value. Do some research on long-tail keywords using Google's Adword keyword tool. If you get really fancy, you can look into some paid programs. Scope out some keywords related to your niche, particularly with the word "buy" or "purchase" in them if you have an affiliate site. Check out words that have low competition but decent traffic (around 1,000 hits). Target that keyword with a page or blog post. Make it lengthy around 800-1000 words, keep a keyword density of 2% and fill with images and links to appropriate authority sites.

    Just how I've always done it/ would do it.

    Facebook groups are worthless especially the ones that allow promotions.

    Much more effective are Facebook ads in the newsfeed to members of those groups.

    Hello!

    Where did you get your keywords for your SEO? Did you use Google Keyword Planner alone to find your high traffic low competition keywords? If you are using it alone, it is like shooting the moon using a slingshot

    If I were you, this is what I am going to do.

    For my blog posts and article marketing:

    First, I'll use the Google Keyword Planner to find the my niche related keywords with high monthly searches.

    Next, I'll put these keywords in the free (trial) version of Market Samurai to trim down the results to get keywords with high daily searches with low competition.

    Then, I'll use these trimmed-down keywords for my blog posts and article marketing.

    So far so good. When I started using this method, my daily number of visitors increased and now I have subscribers for my newsletter.

    To drive traffic using social networking sites:

    You are correct about using Facebook! Create a Fan Page and try posting some niche-related yet interesting stuff about your stuff that people like to read and share. Hey! Don't make it look like you are selling something. This is a big turn off for most people. Try doing this method: First update - any niche-related youtube video. Second update - a blog post from anywhere in the net which is niche related. Third update: Your own promotional material.

    You can also try using Facebook Promoted Posts Program to speed up the process, that is, if you can spare some cash for it.

    You can also link up your twitter account with your Facebook fan page to save effort and time. This way, you don't need to repost all your updates in Facebook into your twitter account.

    Good luck!

      If your site has an rss feed you could use that on a blog and it would update itself with the content and be good for SE traffic.

      No such thing. To get traffic you have to DO something, it won't just wander over with a wallet because you built a website.

    Instant traffic will only flag your site because those are just fake traffic anyway. It's just like what the above said, let us know if you find that kind of traffic that you are looking for

    You will have to do keyword research for your online games. Best XXX games and generic terms are already quite competitive, so you will have to go micro niche.

      If you are looking for instant of traffic, be carful...soon or later, you will find your site dead in the water. If you are testing and want to give a try that fine, but if you have work hard and spend money on this blog I wouldn't recommend you any fake or buy instant traffic.

      If you habe budget and no time just outsource all your strategies. If you want to spend some time or even outsource at cheap price, build at least 5 Web2.0 property account, let say you have website on XYZgame.com, open ann account with Wordpress and give the accout name XYZgame your blog will look like XYZgame.wordpress.com

      and so on for the other 4 accounts, once all account are set try to publish articles on these accounts without backlinking to your moneysite (main website) on your first week, do it for a week or 2, and than start to built backling to your main site, the traffic will came soon or later if you are not in rush. All this task mentioned above wouldn't take you long if you have the necessary tools and software in your hand.

      For the 5 best web2.0 property I would say go with
      1) Wordpress
      2) Delicious
      3) Blogger
      4) Livejournal
      5)Tumblr

      They are trusted by Google and have high PR authority.....

      You are not limited for building new account, do your research and built more accounts......

      Do not burn yourself after spending a lot of time and money, you will be sure sorry for yourself what you have built in the past

        Hi, a blog that build with Wordpress will help you to get traffic into your website. Try to write a unique content about your product and create a discussion with other bloggers. A story telling method is an effective way to go.

        Hope this help.

    Well, when I started making websites I was always thought about shiny websites. Then few years back I came.to know that a shiny websites is nothing but a website. On the other side a website with hungry people ( hungry for website infos ) can be a cash machine. So if you have time like 3 months. Just start writing your own review about the games on your website. I think it is enough to get noticed by Google no SEO needed. Believe me it Works. Just write for the visitors and not for the search engine.

    Have you been building high quality backlinks to the site? With the right backlinks, your site can begin ranking on the first page of Google for your targeted keywords. If those keywords have a high search volume, you will receive a lot of organic traffic.

    A couple weeks ago Neil Patel from Quicksprout had a 30 day traffic contest for his readers and before this started he published a 30 day guide of what you can be doing to get free and paid traffic. I think there are a lot of great ideas in what he published. Heres the link: Double Your Traffic in 30 Days

    However, I'd pick 2-3 key points and master those instead of doing something different every day. You'll get more traction by mastering 2-3 than toying with them all

      PPC : you pay per click one somebody click in your ads (the click is paid whatever the action is, buy or not buy). The cost of the PPC ad vary significantly depending on the popularity of the keyword or phrase.

      PPV: a lot traffic at very cheap price, but the traffic is almost not a target buyer....
      you can have PPV at $0.01/View

      If you are interested on PPC Google created a free PDF report offering tips on how to use AdWords effectively here is A guide to building successful AdWords campaigns

    Well you could have just gotten a backlink from one of the most popular websites in the world to your site. But you chose not to accept this free offer. Your failing because your not thinking.
