One obvious way to increase traffic is to improve your search engine rankings, which can be accomplished through a variety of methods. SEO/SEM firms specialize in doing this, and so if you are unfamiliar with how to do it on your own, consider hiring one of these firms to help you.
Social Media. Familiarize yourself with sites like Digg, Twitter, Mixx, DropJack, Plurk, Yahoo Buzz and other social media sites. Create profiles, and socially bookmark interesting articles, content, and pages on your site on a regular basis. Social media sites are powerful website promotion tools if utilized correctly.
Use other people's network. Popular information products are found on Clickbank.com. You can create the same, and use people to refer business to you, while giving them a cut. Affiliate marketing is a great business, generating millions of dollars each day, and if you have a particular niche where people are hungry for information, and you can separate yourself with quality content, you'll have an edge. Traffic can really take off.
Many companies and websites find success with the use of affiliate programs, which allow people to sign up as an affiliate on your website, promoting your product from their own site, and vice versa, and splitting the commission from any sales. You can opt to sign up with an affiliate program site, or set up your own affiliate system, which is cheaper but takes more time to manage. Remember, the higher the commission that you offer, the more incentive others will have to become affiliates.
Content / Article Marketing & Syndication. This is a fantastic way to get free backlinks to your site (one-way links) - but also showcase and share your information with your targeted audience. You can also get a following as an authority provider of information, and top article sites are ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com and buzzle.com. Make sure to create engaging content, and take the reader back to a page where you have a direct call to action (make them do something). - 16039
