Other ways to increase traffic
Here we discuss remaining techniques for increasing your website traffic. I personally wouldn't count on any of them alone to significantly increase your website visitor traffic, but they take so little effort from you as the webmaster that I still consider them a must-do of website promotion.
Promoting website in forums
Actively participate in related forums, contribute information and remember to mention your website. Now, I don't mean simply flooding all somewhat related forums with links to your website a it is frowned upon and you will most likely very quickly get banned. On the other hand, if you provided valuable comment on a topic, gave an answer to someone's question or started an interesting discussion, remember to sign the post and include a link to your website. In this way you will get additional visitors to your website, plus you aquire a back link to your website.
Publish a newsletter
Publishing a news letter does not bring new visitors to your pages per se but it reminds your previous visitors of your existence and gets them to come back. Remember that part of your website traffic (to a various degree) consists of repeat visits.
Include website address in print materials
While this really should be obvious it is still often overlooked. Remember to include your website address on all of promotional print materials like business cards and such.
Make a signature
Create an email signature (most email software and free mail services offer this option) and include a link to your website in the signature. This will help to make sure that people you are emailing are aware of your website.
As to bookmark
Ask your visitors to book mark your site. This also helps to increase your website traffic by increasing the number of returning visitors. Yes, you would think that if people are interested they would bookmark your site themselves, but it's a good idea to just remind them of that possibility. You can even offer your visitors a link to automatically add your website to their favorites like this - Add to Favorites
