What is the most effective way to drive traffic to a website?

[Andrew M]

In your opinion, what would be the easiest and most effective way to driving traffic to a new website. I have been trying to get a website off the ground for a couple of months now. I've finally settled down into making the site what I want it to be and I think I have a good domain name ifriendzone. So, what techniques would you use for a social network based website?

This site earns you so much traffic by joining and referring people

Well If you don't want to join and refer sites to earn traffic exchange credits then you must use a good traffic exchange which gives 1:1 surf ratio one of such very good website is http://www.easyhits4u.com
But If you don't believe in traffic exchanges and want traffic comfortably you must consider one of these.

1. Traffic from search Engines. For this you have to optimize your website for the keywords you want to get visitors for and then improve your pagerank this will result in your website appear in top pages of Google when related things are searched. This is the most powerful way on the internet to get quality traffic however not so easy.

2. Purchase some advertising. cheap advertising will work as well but beware of those who don't tell you how they will send visitors to your website they are cheaters. I wont name them but you will find them selling ads as low as $10 for 10,000 visitors.
Pay per Click like http://www.bidvertiser.com are also good options but a Bit Expensive.
Paid to click are cheaper and Guaranteed too. Consider http://www.bestgpt.info

3. Link your site from high traffic areas. may include some classified websites like http://www.bestgpt.info etc.

4. Sell your digital products on ClickBank. Only if you sell digital products you may create some products very easily. http://www.clickbank.com
