How do I get more traffic coming to my website that doesn't cost me any money? I know search engines should be used, but I still don't seem to get that much.

It is easy to get more traffic to a website by using free traffic exchanges http://www.1pic4twenty.co.za/freewebtraffic.htm
but this does not mean it's good traffic. Good traffic is when people are interested in your site when arriving there, view your other pages, and make further enquiries about your services or product, or actually use your service or buy your product

You can also make sure you have a lot of content on your site, and not too many images, as Google, for eg, doesn't "see" images (or text that is part of an image - it only sees text of an image if you have used alt tags on them.

Find reputable sites that are related to yours. Speak with the owners and ask if they will link to your site. They may ask to exchange links. The more inbound links to your site, the easier it is for search sites to find you. I hope this helps..Good Luck..

Have you had google and others "crawl" your website?
Also you can add google adds, this helps with traffic. Are your meta tags all set up?

You can do a press release. There are a number of sites that you can submit to for free. Make sure to optimize the text to reflect the keywords you want to return in the search results.

In the <TITLE> put as many words that you would want to attract people to your site. I found that to be the best for a google search.

con people into believing they are getting something other than what you are offering

spam forums like chinese people do

Nothing will bring more people to your website than making it worth visiting.

Try SEM or the search engine optimization marketing services. In this way, you will get to attach the advertisements of your site by associating the right keywords and in the process you will get to generate quality traffic. This way you can promote the best exposure to your website. You can also persuade a lot of visitors by link-building to sites that look to be 'abandoned'. You have to ensure that every piece of the content you post on your website has purpose which supports sales offer. Still, in my point of view, search engine marketing services has been & always will be one of the most cost effective way and the easiest so far to convince a lot of visitors to locate your website. Goodluck!

Not only is it a lengthy process (took me 4 months) but it is also impossible to do with an ebay product. In order to get on the front page of google, you have to do these minimum things on your webpage:
• Optimize the content(lots of related content and repeat of the keywords) on the page with the keywords you want to show up on google for (bubble bag, bubble bags, bubblebags; being three keywords for Google)
• Change the filenames of the pictures on the webpage to bubblebag.jpg, bubble-bag.jpg, bubble-bags.jpg, etc.
• Change the alt text of the pictures to similar keywords
• Have h1 headings with the keywords in it
• Set the meta-keywords to the appropriate keywords
• Set the meta-description to have you keywords in it
• Set the title of the webpage with your keywords in it
• Consistently add new content to the webpage some Google deems it more important

Then once you are done with that, it is time for off-site optimization
• Get others with Page Rank 2 or higher to link to your site without a reciprocal link back to theirs (there are ways where you can link back to them, but make it invisible to Google)
• Get .gov or .edu site to link back to your site, this increases your Trust Rank(some say it is better than Page Rank).
• Have the anchor text(ex. “Click Here”) for the link be your keywords. (So instead of having a “Click Here to view bubblebags.com” You would put “Purchase Bubble bags”).
• Get more and more and more and more and more and more and more links back to your site.
• Get more and more and more and more and more links back to your site
• Repeat #3 & #4
• Get the picture? GET LINKS! (That’s the main focus on off-site optimization, the more links you get from related websites with high Page Ranks, the higher and higher your page rank is going to get).

Page Rank is basically a ranking system you get from Google that tells Google how important your site is. So the more important your site is, the more likely it will reach the top of the SERP(Search Engine Result Page).

So it is quite a lot of work, but if you enjoy doing it, which I do, it doesn’t seem much like work at all. And I’ve actually got to the point where all the on-site optimization can be done in an hour, it’s the building backlinks that takes forever. You are literally submitting your website to directories on the internet, and e-mailing website owners asking them to do a link exchange. When I do this, I put a “nofollow” tag on their link so Google doesn’t pick it up, but when they visit my website, they see the link back to their site. I’ve gotten all my link exchanges this way, and it works for the most part. I always check to see if they are doing the same to me, but so far nobody else has been doing that.

I have been using blog commenting lately. I like that I don't have the feeling of being dependent on google with this technique. Another way to get traffic can be through twitter.

There are several ways to generate good traffic to the site:
Firstly you can approach complimentary domains to link to your website. Exchange links with such domains, if possible. Write some articles & press releases, publish them on multiple free artilces and PR distribution websites with a link back to your website. Perform directory Submissions to to increase your link popularity. Use of social bookmaking sites e.g. stumble, digg, redditt etc will also be beneficial in the long run.
Also update your webpages regularly, as search engines love fresh and unique content!
All the best!

Another technique is to sign up for some forums in your industry. Get on there and get vocal, answer questions, ask questions. Heck answer questions here. Make sure you have your link in your profile and answer questions appropriately otherwise, you may be viewed as a spammer.

Social bookmarking sites like Delicious, digg are good. Do you also have a twitter account?

Traffic on the web mainly depends on how you are known online. In short, you have to promote your page to many advertisement page. To do this, you will need to involve or learn about online marketing because this will be your bases of expanding your name throughout. Some uses article submitter, for some, they uses Easy Video Player as a tool to advertise in other pages. The more visit you get, the more high you are ranked in the traffic.
