    How can I gain more traffic to my site?

    Should I use adbrite, yahoo, or google adsense to gain more traffic?

    Are there any other ways to gain traffic?

    If you have a niche site that you can bid on some very specific keyword phrases and pay 3-5 cents a click, you might have some success without it ending up costing you anything.

    I've been using Adwords for this, I'm paying an average of 4 cents per click for some specific search phrases, which is driving traffic to my site, and the resulting Adsense clicks (which are averaging about 20 cents per click) have been providing revenue in excess of what the Adwords have been costing me. (For the first 2-3 weeks though, my CPC was lower and I was only making back about 30% of my Adwords spending)

    So in essence, using Adwords and Adsense together DOES work provided you can get Adwords keywords for rock bottom pricing, and the Adsense ads shown on your site have a higher CPC. So far for November I'm ahead about $3. It's a very useful way to get cheap or free traffic that's specifically targeting the people you want to see your site. Even more useful if your site is nowhere to be found yet in the search engines. (As mine is, right now)

    Hi there.

    The best way to get traffic is through blogging. Blogs are natural traffic generators. If you use the correct plugins, platform and up date it regularly with good content you can expect to get alot of traffic within just a few days.

    Hope this helps

    hah. agreed. i think spending some of your time manually promoting daily will payoff more than throwing a few bucks a day into ppc advertising.

    Blogging or using articles are ways I have used to direct traffic to my sites. I also utilized forums and social networking sites such as Facebook and Myspace.

    I would suggest you start focusing on SEO traffic, this is the best due to after you succeed in receiving a steady flow of se traffic with little effort (unless your wanting a top ten position) you can keep that traffic. It is a greay way of getting extremely targeted users to your site.
    Backlinks would be another way and really come under the SEO strategies, as this again helps ranking.

    Will.

    I would work mainly on SEO right now, and then some PPC later. This build the base of your website.

    Thousands of ebooks are on its way, but only some have the real secrets exposed, and all others force you to upgrade to get known those hidden secrets.

    I normally prefer, as like many internet marketers, the "Advanced SEO Techniques". Don't Go For any Blackhat Techniques.

    Interesting topic. Another way I've found is to distribute free software on download sites... they link back to you and people come to your site to download your software. If the software is relevant to your site's subject matter, then you are getting relevant traffic.

    Social networks like Facebook, YouTube, and Myspace are the best and easiest ways to get massive amounts of free traffic, bar none!! Adwords or any other paid advertising is a thing of the past if know how to leverage yourself correctly on these networks. You can even use automated business programs that allow you to add tons of friends. The more friends you add, the more traffic to your page and websites.

    I recommend checking out stealthfriendbomber.com and browsing the list of friend adders. You can try them for free and you'll see very quickly how they can get you loads of traffic easily;)
