There’s nothing new under the sun!  Its all old school and very effective if you put your mind into it.

Here’s the different traffic sources you can get:

1.  Pay Per Click Traffic

2.  Search Engine Traffic

3.  Banner Traffic

4.  Video Traffic

5.  CPA Network Traffic

6.  Social Media & Web 2.0 Traffic

There are a few others, but those are the big ones.

The real trick here isn’t so much finding new traffic sources.  That’s easy.  The important thing is to find traffic that will make you money.

Of course, throw enough traffic at ANYTHING and you’ll make money.  No problem.  But you gotta be dilligent about tracking your traffic.

So if you want to really ramp up your site traffic, here’s how to do it…

1. Pay Per Click - Sign up for Google Adwords and target keywords and websites.  Track the shit out of that traffic and narrow down which keywords/websites are converting for you.  Then copy those campaigns over to Yahoo and MSN.  Be sure to track those too.  But if they convert on Google. chances are they’ll convert on the other two as well.

2.  Search Engine Traffic - Make sure your site is optimized for the search engines.  Easiest way to do this is to add a wordpress blog to your site along with a Google Sitemap.  Wordpress is set to PING the search engines automatically every time its updated.  So if you target your blog to your main keywords, eventually you’ll get ranked for them and get that free traffic.  Once you’re set up, start building backlinks to your blog.  The easiest way to do this is to just take every post you write up for it, and submit it as an article to multiple article directories, linking back to the original post for your desired keyword.  This will build up link juice for your site.  You can also take advantage of Wordpress’s trackback and pingback feature to get link juice from like-minded blogs.

3.  Banner Traffic - Take your best converting ad from your Google PPC account, and have it turned into banner ads.  You can hire someone to do this for you.  It doesn’t need to be fancy, just words against a white background.  Just make it for every possible banner ad size.  Use these on the Google Content Network, along with banner servers like AdBrite.  You can also target specific websites and cut deals with them to display your banners.  There are also free banner exchanges you can sign up for to get your ads displayed everywhere.  Just be sure to track what websites are sending you the converting traffic!  Use PPSeer for this.  Systematically eliminate the junk sites, and focus on getting more traffic from the winning sites.

4.  I cannot stress this point enough! Video Traffic. Very important if not the most important of all. This will blast your page into G index in a matter of minutes! Signing up with Traffic Geyser was probably the best value for money that I gotten in years. I know that I might sound corny but believe me... hell you don't have to believe me, just watch some demo videos on this guys site and you shall understand what I'm raving about! So make a video and sign up for Traffic Geyser, and blast that badboy out automatically to every video site you can find. You'll be amazed with the results. The easiest way to make a video is to record yourself reading an article, and set that audio to a still image.  You can do this extremely easily with a program like iMovie or something similar. However, when you sign up they will provide you with the right tools and no knowledge on your side is necessary. You get a special toll free number where you can call and record your voice that goes as mp3 straight to your user panel. You also get your own personalized email adress where you upload a picture displaying for example the site you want to promote. After you send all that TG combines the image with the pic and BAM! you got your own video ready to be blasted out to over 50 video sites, blogs, social bookmaking sites, podcasts and RSS feeds. A truly amazing piece of software.

5.  CPA Network - take your offer and blast it out to the CPA networks like Azoogle, Commission Junction, ROI Rocket, and all the others.  Use your converting banner ads to give to affiliates and the like.  Even if your offer isn’t eating up the rankings on these networks, you’ll build up a great network of affiliates sending you traffic over time.  If you’re not a merchant, you can use CPA networks for a pay per action of some sort, like newsletter signup or something like that.

6.  Social Media & Web 2.0 - Hire some people in a 3rd world country to set up social bookmarking accounts for your blog, and create Myspace and Facebook accounts.  Have them automatically add friends to your accounts and send them bulletins about your site.  Put an opt in form on your pages and get people on your list from these sites.  Then send them to your site and offers through emailing your list.  There are so many web 2.0 sites out there, you can get creative and figure out how to drive traffic with them.

I could go on for hours on all the different traffic strategies you can use.  But I won’t.  Just don’t try and figure out the “newest” thing.  Go for the old stuff that still works, and learn how to do it REALLY WELL.
