Ok. You’ve created your own product that has been proven to have great demand and you have a great salesletter that has a sky-high conversion rate. But all this is futile if you don’t have a single soul passing by your website since you will have no one to sell to!
You might be a total beginner and therefore do not have a massive mailing list to sell to, and your website is on the 103th page of search engine results pages. The good news is that you can change all that with a few tried-and-tested traffic generation techniques.
First and foremost, let me make it clear to you that search engine optimization is not the only way to gain massive amounts of traffic.
However it can be very lucrative to have your website listed on the top of search engine results because many people use the search engine to search for information and arrive on the search engine results page. Hence, heaps of people see your site’s link and you attract loads of
traffic.
The effect would have been exactly the same if your site is mentioned in a website with very high traffic. For example, imagine what would happen if your website was mentioned on the front page of Yahoo’s website. Your website will receive so many visitors your bandwidth might
go over the limit.
So, the trick is to get other high-traffic websites in your niche to link to your site. To do this, you must give them very strong reasons to link to you - maybe you could use the thought-provoking article you’ve posted on your site or maybe it’s the ingenious solution to this lifelong
problem everyone has had for all their lives.
In short, give people amazing reasons or value to earn a link from them.
Alternatively, you may link to a certain high - traffic website that’s related to yours and ask for a link back. This technique is called reciprocal linking and is a very common technique for gaining links.
However, before you even ask for the link check your own website and ask yourself if you would be proud to recommend such a site to your readers, and whether it will provide useful information to your readers.
In other words, make sure your website has its own value and not just an empty shell devised to attract traffic!

Yes its great to talk about getting visitors from different sources , and hopefully long term white hat methods will win,but there not at the moment . my website is a german Golf site and I unfortunately get 75 percent of visitor from google
Golf is still small in germany and the golfers tend to be older, non internet the visitors I receive from articles on other web sites is pratically 3% and the work is amazing, my competion dont use white hat methods and I try but its difficult
