Does anyone have any tips for driving traffic to your wesite ?

I can help but I'd like to know if you're looking for people to look at your site or if you just need raw hits. Manual surfs are for real people to visit and auto surfs are for hits to go to your site. I'd recommend at least a 15 second timer on a manual surf if you want real people to see your site.

There are PTC and PTR sites that can also bring traffic to your site for cheap. (PTC = Paid to Click / PTR = Paid to Read) Just try looking around on Google for the words manual surf, auto surf, paid to click, and paid to read.

use link exchange, it usually draws a ton of people and could help you and others get things a lot better.

Just go around looking for sites that have similar content to yours and ask them to exchange links and affiliate with them. They will send hits to your site and you also will get a higher rank on search engines and what not. It is time consuming but does pay off in the long run.

Remember this, though. A little bit of promotion can't hurt, but if you start spamming, it's not good. That will tend to throw people off.

Well this idea will not get you big hits but it will get you hits of people interested in your site. Just put a link to your site in your Trap17 signature. As long as you have a decent reputation on the forum people will usually visit your site (I only visit sites that are hosted on Trap17 in people's signatures but I don't know about everyone else). If you take this route don't put in an ad just a text link or an underbanner, you'll get plenty of visits and do not use a refferal link that can get you into trouble. I really like this idea because it is free and the more you help the community the more exposure your link gets.

I find that a fantastic way to advertise a site is to purchase banner impressions from related sites. You can usually buy banner impressions for really cheap from sites with moderate traffic. The great thing about banner impressions is that you usually only get traffic that is interested in your site if you used a carefully designed banner.

If you don't feel like buying banner impressions then you could use a banner exchange or a link exchange.

to get traffic your site should be a dedicated one to a good topic, with a good coverage of it.

add your site to site directories in the rgiht category, and this will help drive traffic as your pageranking will improve
