So, I recently read this post on "9 Killer Ways To Get Traffic Without SEO Or Social Media".

What are some other ways to get traffic without Social Media or SEO? I feel like everyone who gives advice on getting traffic just talks about "great content", "using social media" or doing "SEO".

How do you get traffic to a blog or website?

    There are many. Forum marketing, blog commenting, guest posting on blogs, article marketing, Press releases, classified ad posting, etc. Great content will still be necessary if you really want to drive quality traffic. It is just the way it is.

    I've had some success with PPC, but for me, nothing I've ever tried has come close to the floods of targeted traffic I get daily from article marketing.

      Does article marketing still work? I thought that was a thing of the past..

        No, that's article directory marketing (the idea of trying to use article directories as a way of generating traffic and/or for their own backlinks). That's dead. Article marketing is very different. Large and increasing numbers of Warriors are successfully making our livings from it.

            Good luck with it! Make sure that your articles are of the kind that people (who already have access to the targeted traffic you want to attract) want to share with their own readers/visitors/subscribers, and can use to fulfil their own constant needs for content: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post3188316

    Thanks Martimoney,

    I have no problem with creating great content. I am going to have to check out classified ad posting. I didn't realize that you can get good traffic from that.

      Thanks Uawesome, those are quite a few good suggestions. Never heard of using GumTree. I am going to have to try that out.
