5) Write Articles that can lead traffic to your site
Publishing articles and press releases about your topic works wonders. You not only get targeted traffic but also precious back links from high PR article directories and PR sites. If your topic is, say, whitening teeth, write a couple of articles and submit to leading directories and watch the traffic flow.
6) Join web 2.0 cummunities and topical forums
Contribute to the general discussion and become an obvious expert by answering other people’s questions. This will create trust and credibility that helps you get targeted traffic to your websites. Word of mouth referrals will drive visitors to you.

If many people know what you are about and your existence is shared with many others, you will find a loyal traffic that can provide you with more traffic by recommendation. If you arouse the curiosity of your customers they would be pushed to help you with your traffic.
