From michael, Hi,
John…
Could you please send me tips to use that software.

loysten,
Need natural backlink growth and residual referral traffic?
From John, Northville, Michigan We began by using pay per click (Google, mostly) and results were mixed. We are in an extremely crowded internet market and found that ppc ads worked well for a few products, but for most of our products it was expensive and resulted in very few conversions.
We also purchased software to analyze our site and competitor sites for search engine optimization and have been very successful in getting niche keywords to the top of the search engines (we're still working on the general, more competitive keywords). The software was the best $250 we have spent, by far.

From Linh, Chino Hills, CA What worked for our web site: BeautyLiesBeneath.com
Rich Content
Exchanging links with other web sites
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Commenting and Posting on related forums and blogs
What didn't work:
Advertising using pay-per-click
Search Engine Submission that offer to submit your website to hundreds of search engines
From Roman, Zurich, Switzerland What can bring a lot of traffic to your website? This is stuff I've tried on one of my websites http://www.romanvirdi.com:
- Search engines. To get them to rank high, your site needs to be search-engine optimized (hire a pro) and you need other good sites to link to you
- Pay-per-click advertising from Google, Yahoo and Microsoft (yes MS in in the game too)
- Exposure in off- or online media can generate huge traffic spikes. This might even propel you into Alexa's hit-list which will generate more traffic
- Referring links from other high-traffic websites (paid or free links)
- (Teaser) ads in offline media.
Good Luck,
Roman
From Michael Mc., Miami, FL Some companies dont understand the importance of a good design for any company web site, but clients do, no matter how many people visit your site, if the site doesn't work or looks bad people are not going to take it seriously. the image of a company and the way you sell your self is as important as the product.

From Roger, Roanoke, Va I have used Google ad words and the cost is not worth the results. To get return visits I have tried to offer informative links. http://www.brewsterinsurancebrokerage.com
From Javier, Reading, PA On the net, people are looking for useful and practical information that is fresh and regularly updated. That's the basis to entice customers to return to your site.
After you have accomplished the above, promoting your site aggressively would be the next step. Personally I've achieved success routinely commenting on related blogs, posting on related forums, writing and submitting articles to article directories, and listing our site URL on relevant directories. workonline

From Gleb Esman, Ottawa, Canada Timeless truth of traffic on the web is making your portal useful for people. 150 hits/day for Blog or 10000 hits/mo for portal is pretty good traffic already. Breathalyzers is pretty sharp niche so just adding more interesting contents on this subject and maybe spicing it with multimedia, such as videos would help on an ongoing basis. If you already managed to assemble community of interested people around your products – then i'd strongly suggest to open "discussion forum" section on your site. Forum is something that often (but not always though) lives and grows by itself, generating new and unique contents and attracting new participants. Active forum could rank pretty high on search engines (especially for niche topics like yours) and hence could attract lots of extra highly targeted traffic.

From angus cooney, san diego Link share is a good way to guide traffic, make sure its free, the more web pages that link back to you the better. Use good meta tags and keep your site fast.

From Amy, Henderson, NV It could be a number of things:
You have several key words listed (maybe too many) but you need to make sure those key words are listed on your home page. Focus on the most important keywords. You should see these keywords on your homepage at least 4 – 5 times. I would also add more content to your home page and overall website. The search engines can detect this. If you start making a few simple changes, you should start to place in the top listings. It might help to have a URL with breathalyzer in it as well.
From Gordon, San Francisco, CA This advice ignores the most obvious way to draw traffic to a Web site: Web-based marketing.
Putting URLs on tchotkes? The number of visitors you'll draw from that oh-so-subtle bit of promotion will be tiny. Or, you'll distribute so many of them that you'll break the bank — and still, you can count on converting a ridiculously small number of the people who get the giveaway.
Far, far better is to use the Web itself to promote your own Web presence. Hello, Google? I'm sort of shocked that this answer doesn't even address search-engine techniques, whether buying ads or SEO. I wish it had.
