Here are some effective techniques:
Linking to others
Look for blog which are similar to yours. Ask the website owner for a reciprocal link. Be sure to pick link partners who match your customer profile.
Forums
Subscribe to forums that discuss your topic. Join in the discussions, answer questions, and ask pertinant questions yourself. Become known as an expert in the field. Then with each article reply you write, have a discreet link to your website in the signature file. Make sure that your signature conforms with the forum rules. Do not spam the forum or you will be stopped from posting. This is one of the most productive ways of getting free traffic as those who click your link have already read and liked your style.
E-Books
Write a free informational eBook which you can give away to your clients and others. Place links back to your blog in the eBook.
Joint Ventures
Contact online marketers looking for new products to sell. They often have large mailing lists with eager to buy customers. Usually they are willing to send an email to their list for a cut of the sale price. This works especially well with info products. It has several advantages. It can give a large boost to both your sales and mailing list in a short time.
Buy Expired Domain Traffic
This is probably the cheapest in terms of time and most expensive money wise. You will usually get a traffic boost within a month. What is it that you're buying? You are buying traffic from expired domain names which the company selling the traffic has bought. They are domain names which are still registered on the search engines which get a considerable amount of traffic. The previous domain name owners have either lost interest in the name or simply forgot to renew the registration. The traffic from the expired domain name is simply redirected to your website. This is usually high quality traffic as only expired domains with relevant traffic is redirected to you. As usual, you should do a test run to see if this traffic is suitable.
These techniques are most powerful when used in combination. When you apply them consistently over time, you will develop a rich source of targeted traffic.
