Hey, I thought I would share a bunch of tips on how to drive traffic to your website since it's the biggest problem that marketers face today.

1)Blog commenting:
You can get softwares like Comment hut or Comment Kahuna to find blogs of your niche and sort them according to what suites you and then you can always leave blog comments. This will not only drive traffic to your website but also build backlinks to your website. You could also use a software called comment sniper, this let's you know when there's a new blog post and you could be the first one to comment on it. The first comment is the one most people read so this would be really helpful.

2)Craigslist and other classified websites:
These websites get a lot of traffic especially CL, and ads are free to post which makes it even better for us to get free traffic. You can place targetted ads on CL in the section of your choice.

3)Article writing:
You could also write a few articles and build backlinks to your website, these articles also drive a decent amount of traffic to your website since they rank high in google with the keywords you targetted.

4)Social Bookmarking:
Adding social bookmarks to your website caan also bring a whole lot of traffic. If you're bookmark gets a lot of "diggs" then you will get traffic in the 1000s. There are services around which will digg your bookmark.

5)Forum Signatures:
This is a very good way of getting traffic and people don't realise the potential of this. If you leave a signature in a forum of a related niche you'll always get traffic. NOW CHECK OUT MY SIGNATURE! lol :P

Edit:6)Video Marketing:
As ampris mentioned, you could download videos off youtube using a firefox add-on, make a few changes using windows movie maker or another basic video-editing software and put in your website link in the video and in the description. If you're website is in the music niche, you'll get tons of traffic as there are a lot of views for such video on video sharing websites.

7)Web 2.0:
This technique can not only help you get worthy backlinks but also a decent amount of traffic as these pages rank well in google.

I might have left out something, I'll update my post as soon as I can think of something.

All the best to you guys, hope that helped. Any questions, post below.
