Increasing web site traffic is a subject on the minds of every webmaster on the planet. It probably has always been so, but once upon a time, people simply tried to have the best-looking site or the site with the best information. When there weren’t many websites out there to compete with, website traffic wasn’t that difficult to get. There just wasn’t the competition for it that like there is nowadays. As a result, and because of the Internet being fairly new, people used the same sort of techniques that they would use to make a magazine or a brick-and-mortar storefront stand out. However, as the Internet has grown and prospered, and as more and more people have begun using it, web site traffic has paradoxically become harder and harder to achieve. That’s because there are so many sites these days that it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle.
In considering all a webmaster’s options to increase website traffic, you have to consider what website traffic really means — and how you get it. When someone searches for a website to help with a problem, that person uses a search engine like Google. They type a keyword into that search engine and send it fishing. If you’re interested in traffic promotion, get that search engine interested in your site.
-How to increase web site traffic - sites give varied advice, much of it technical. One thing that keeps popping up in website traffic discussions is whether a webmaster is actually using keywords properly. Everyone in online business knows the value of keywords by now, but many people are unsure exactly how those words draw the search engine bots to their site. For instance, instead of simply tossing in keywords willy-nilly, it is a good idea to make them fit into the text naturally. Bots and spiders are sophisticated enough to recognize when someone is trying to dupe them, for one thing, and content that reads something like -keyword keyword keyword- will count against you with search engines — and with readers.
That leads us to a very important part of creating a successful website. It’s important to know how to increase website traffic, meaning how to get lots of new visitors to the site. But if visitors just give the site a quick glance, decide it isn’t worth their time, and then leave, never to return — then what good are your methods really doing you? You want return visitors, visitors who spend significant time at your site and visitors who buy. Increasing website traffic isn’t just about the number of hits you get — it’s about making your visitors happy. It doesn’t matter how many people walk into your store if nobody buys anything, or if they leave and tell everyone what a terrible store it is. Traffic promotion is largely about providing your visitors with good, useful information, whether you are trying to sell them something or simply entertain them.

For a while now I’ve been signing on with safe list (checkout my next post in a day or two) and Traffic Exchanged every chance I get! PLEASE don’t do this. My main reasons for this is:
Now I get about 300-400 e-mails a day, which I had to setup a rule for to delete as they are downloaded.
You will spend your whole clicking on links, browsing websites to gain credits, so that you can advertise your own site or banner. Again not worth it.
What I have found is 3 of the best ones that work for me and I would encourage you to use them as well. It takes only about 15 mins a day of surfing to gain credits and that is it. Here they are:
Advertising Know How
TrafficSwarm
InstantBuzz
These three are unique advertising methods. First off, they don’t cost you any money. You can sign up for free. So here is what makes them so unique and best to use.
Advertising Know How:
With advertising know how you can surf for credits as per usual with any other Traffic Exchanges, but if you surf 50 sites a day for 5 days out of 7, Advertising Know How will add one free referral to your account. This means within a month you can have at least 4 referrals in your down line, helping you to surf for credits to advertise. Not mentioning that if they upgrade to the pro account you will earn commissions. 
Secondly, Advertising Know How have an option to add banners for your site, to your account. You can then convert your surfing credits to banner “impressions”. These impressions is used to show your banner to people that are surfing. I use this option exclusively. Every 10 credits will earn you 1 000 impressions. Very nice right?
TrafficSwarm:
With TrafficSwarm you also check out sites to get credits, but what sets them apart is the fact that they give you an “startup url”. This you can put in your browsers startup page and everything you open your browser, the browser goes directly to that “startup page” and you earn 1 credit. Now this might not sound like a lot, but I’ve tested this. For me this brings in 50 plus credits a day, without surfing any additional adds. Then if you refer people to there site and they sign up, you will again earn credits for your referral’s views of sites, plus commissions if they sign up for the pro membership.
InstantBuzz:
With InstantBuzz it is even easier to earn credits for advertising. You simply install a little program that becomes an toolbar on your browser. Every time you visit a site, it will show you a new advertisement and that counts as 1 credit. Within writing this blog I’ve earn 130 odd credits. Simple as that, setup your account here, setup you ads in your account profiles, install the toolbar and that is it. Check in once a day to see your ads stats. PS: your antivirus program might see this as “Adware”, which of course it is, seeing as it does show you ads. It DOES NOT contain any viruses or spyware. When prompted, simply add this program to you antivirus exception list.
Now just to make it clear, none of the people you refer needs to sign up pro membership with any of these kind of sites, just the extra credits you earn will be benefit enough!
These 3 sites have helped me a lot, but believe you me, it took a while to get to these three. Use them, they are free and will generate a lot of traffic to your site.
