Depnding on the type of website you have it differs. If its a website promoting your buisness, hang signs up in the place you work. If it is just like a blog of sometging you like the twitter is the way to go. Find others on twitter who would enjoy your blog and get them to advertise also.

No clue what type of site you have, that can matter, the best eCommerce site is one with sufficiently high margins and visitor conversion rates to allow it to profit from paid traffic.

The majority of free traffic comes through search engines, ranking highly in search result for profitable search terms, the various SEO techniques too diverse to run through here will raise your ranking.

Besides continuously adding fresh original content, getting links from other sites is key.The easy to get links tend to have the least influence. Again you will find many of the highly for profit sites have bought links from sites with some ranking. If you plug away and get a few decent new links a week your ranking and traffic may rise a it, sorry it does tend to be proportion to the time and money you invest in the effort.

If you identify a successful competitors site perhaps that shows up in searches for a desirable term, try entering their domain name (with www. if you see one) into the Yahoo site explorer, it will report the number of pages and links to the site, this may give you a rough idea of what's required to achieve their ranking.

Getting traffic is a combination of a lot of things. The key to success is to create great content that visitors want to use, search engines will love and other websites will naturally link to. Of course, it's easier said than done.

You can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products. You can use Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:

1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

2. Use social media. Twitter, Facebook, Stumbleupon, LinkedIn, Reddit, Digg and others can be a big source of traffic for your business. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools.

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and © get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.
