Content along with internet traffic is the absolute lifeblood of the internet. Whether it's a case of getting a message out to as many people as possible, or advertising a product or service, you need as much traffic to your site as possible.

Outside in the real world, an enterprise may only need to exist and open it's doors for visitors to start coming in, looking around, and maybe buying. This will not happen on the internet.

With many billions of web pages out there, why would anyone just chance across yours? The chances of an un-marketed web page being found are about the same as finding a grain of salt in the desert.

If this seems depressing, then you are starting to appreciate the scale of the internet. It is no exaggeration to say that finding a new site by accident is literally many millions to one.

But websites do start and become successful. If you want to know how they do this, how they manage to attract thousands or tens of thousands of visitors a month - or more. Read on.

There are many very ethical and inexpensive ways of driving or pulling traffic to your web-site.

Amongst all this though, there are some great ideas and methods. Many free and ideal for beginners. Many costing a small amount and ideal for those who are looking to increase the traffic flow to a site.

Finding simple-to-master techniques that can be applied both to your site directly in terms of SEO (search engine optimization), as well as off site promotion is not as difficult or expensive as you might think.

The good news is, at a very basic level all of this can be done for free. The disadvantage of the "free" way is that it can be very time consuming, and the results might also take a long time to materialise.

I suppose it is a balance between cost and time. If for every one hundred visitors you are making a dollar, and a piece of software costing thirty dollars can get you five hundred visitors a day more, how long will it take before this software has paid for itself? Is there a possibility of it paying for itself many times over in the first week, month or year?

It is worth looking at both side of this equation though. Some very effective methods of automation are also very cost effective.

If you value your time, it might be worth checking some of these out.
