Traffic from Search Engines
Probably the most common way of getting traffic to your website is through the Internet search engines. To get traffic from search engines, they must first know that your site is online. To do this, you must submit your site to the search engines or have them "find" you automatically buy getting a link from another site that is already listed in the search engines. If you get a link from another site, when the search engines index (crawl or spider) the site, they will also follow the link to your site which will get you listed quicker than if you manually submit your site.
Another good way to get the search engines to properly crawl your site is to have a good sitemap on your site. Sitemaps are used so search engines (and people) can easily find any page on your site that you want them to get to. You can submit your site to search engines or you can get a link pointing to your site from another site. This is one of the quickest ways to get listed in the search engines quicker.
Traffic from Pay Per Click
Even though it is not free, pay per click traffic can be very effective in getting visitors to your site and based on the content of your site and the keywords you select, you may be able to get a lot of traffic at a very low cost. When using pay per click ads, you basically pay everytime someone clicks on your ad. The cost typically ranges between pennies to several dollars per click depending on the keyword popularity and the amount of competition for those keywords. Most of the search engines have some sort of pay per click program. Pay per click ads will get you traffic almost immediately after you put the campaign online.
Backlink Traffic
One of the best ways for getting traffic to your website is with backlinks. Backlinks are web links pointing to your website from other websites. Ideally, you want the backlinks to be from sites that have high search engine rankings and are related to the content on your site. Not only will you get traffic directly from these other sites, but the search engines will rank you higher because they look at links from other sites as a "vote" for your website. So, the more backlinks you can get to your site, the better.
