How to get traffic to a site ?

Getting traffic, specially, new & unique visits to your website is always easier said than done. The basic things to take care of mainly depends on the type of content you post. For instance if you often post about stuffs that are often searched, you will rely primarily on search engine directed traffic. Some basic stuffs to take care of is: domain: a .com domain website (www.example.com) will always have an edge over other domains in getting listed first by search engines. This becomes more important if you rely on search engines for the most part of the traffic you get. Use "Search Engine Optimization" (SEO) tools to make sure that each post of yours have a correct title and mini description for any search engine to index. About the content, always try to post unique content and use graphic (images) to convey your ideas pictorially. If the topics you work with are very less searched on the internet, things become more difficult. Then you will have to rely on referred visits (other than search results). Submit your blog to blog indexing websites(like technocrati), so that the chances of someone reaching your website is increased. Another thing is to give initial promotion to your posts by sharing it with your friends at the social networking sites like Facebook, Orkut,myLot or twitter. Hope all these tips help Best of Luck!
