alreadyknow,

Thanks for lending your experiences. However, while most of these techniques do increase traffic somewhat, it's even harder to convert this traffic into sales, leads or return visitors. All except for your #4 and halfway of your #1 which is what networking is: whether social or business.

Over the past 8 years I have never paid for advertising. My work comes from word of mouth and networking has been the winner for me. This may not apply to everyone because it depends on what your site's goals are but be careful of wasting time increasing traffic.

You're probably asking why would anything that increased traffic waste time? My question to you is would you rather have 1 out of 1,000 visitors a day click on an ad or purchase a product? Or would you rather have 50 out of 100 visitors a day click on an ad or purchase a product? It's all about targeted traffic which you won't find in the methods you're using.
