HOW DO I GET TRAFFIC TO MY SITE?

I just went through a site and found the below article and thought of putting it here as this might serve the need of the people who are trying to make money out of the traffic coming to the website.

Many people think that having a good website is all you need to get tons of visitors. Wrong answer. Getting traffic to your site takes hard work and diligence and is not accomplished overnight. Think about it this way - how are people supposed to know where to find your site if you don't tell them? You must advertise. Here are some proven ways to advertise your site without spending [much] money:

Submit your site to as many search engines as you can. Here are some of the popular ones you can start with:

Alexa
AltaVista
AllTheWeb
AOL
Ask
DMOZ
ExactSeek
Excite
GigaBlast
Google
Hotbot
Kanoodle
Live
Lycos
LookSmart
MSN
National Directory
Netscape
SearchIt
WebCrawler
What-U-Seek
Yahoo

Then Use a favicon.ico


Have Dynamic content on your site - Message Board, Links Directory, Guest Book, Online Search, Picture Gallery, Quote of the day, News items, Site Search, Links Engine ... It all makes for a more enjoyable experience for your visitors ... and happy visitors come back.

Make sure you don't have broken links on your site! There is nothing more annoying when one clicks a link and it does not work. There are hundreds of places you can go on the internet that will check your link validity. Use them.

Make sure your META TAGS are done right. Learn how to do this here.

Submit your site to as many privately run Link Directories/Search Engines as you can find. These will not generally boost your traffic in any major way but will help to maintain steady stream of qualified visitors.

Use Banners with care. See below.

Subscribe to the Usenet groups and advertise there. A good place to start is Google Groups

Be sure to submit your site in appropriate groups!

Be sure to signup with a backup email or you will get onto every spammers database!

Be sure you don't SPAM -- only submit a write up of your site once to any given group.
