Need traffic, traffic, traffic

Tried...am failing

Hi people,
I've tried Adwords and links but I can't build my traffic. How can I get 1-3,000 unique visitors a day to my site with little (none if possible) outlay? (Swedish Linda is asking the impossible huh?)

Build qualtiy content that people want to link to. Is you r product/topic popular? If you are focusing on a niche area the traffic may simply not exist.

There a few ways to get quick traffic. One is through a PPC program. Another is buying links. Try and rewrite your PPC ads if they don't seem to be working. You may simply need to make your ads more focused.

Building traffic takes time (UNLESS you have $$$!) and hard work. It also depends on what market you are in. One of the best ways to build traffic is content, create articles or news stories to start with. Not only does this give your visitors a reason to stay around a bit longer, but new people will find these web pages in the search engines.

Link popularity also takes time to build, if you are in a popular market it can takes months and even years to get a top ranking for your market's keyword. So I would suggest to go after the smaller keywords at first and the rest should fall in place.

Content content content. Make yourself an indispensible read. 98% of web content is far from this and those site owners have to rely on every gimmick known to attract an audience and then try a few more gimmicks to keep the audience long enough to click on an ad or make an ill-advised purchase.

If you're like my main site, you provide content that professionals absolutely need (like webmasterworld.com, frankly). If you're not that and can't be that, well, you have to ask whether you feel good looking in the mirror every morning knowing that you're not providing worthwhile stuff. The vast majority of web site owners aren't providing valuable stuff and simply add to the clutter but hoping that they get a piece of the action.

I've gone from 70 to about 260 hits / day mostly over the last 4 months so by:

Studying up on keywords
Creating 'focus' pages for any remotely trafficked ones
Adding around 2 pages / day of reasonable content - rich in anchor text pointing back to those 'focus' pages

things are still growing - it's not taking off like a rocket - but the upward trend is quite clear. I think it's reasonable I'll be up to 500+ / uniques per day in another 4 months.

this is after a long time just building links - with no real results.

this is in addition to a similar amount of adwords traffic. if you can spend $.05 / user (or more) - look into setting up and adwords campaign.

I tried selling my soul to Satan - but he said it was only good for about 200 hits / day. I'm skeptical if those are even real users though...
