(1) First of all you have to make your website very good. You have to concentrate on the contents of your website and your website must have some thing special. I mean your website must be good in overall scenario.
(2) Now lets come to the real factors which need to be done. There are many websites on internet which accept ads of different things. You can put ad of your website on some popular websites.

(3) You must submit your website to different directories. Important directories are yahoo, Dmoz, Google and msn. Actually a user come to a website through search engine, if a website has global popularity like wikipedia then for those websites there is no need to do something for popularity because every one knows about such websites. But for new websites and even for old websites it is must to do something for getting traffic to their websites. As i was saying 90% users come to a website through search engine like GOOGLE, YAHOO and MSN. If you can afford to spend some money then you must consult to a search engine optimizer for the optimization of your website.

(4) you can submit articles about your website features on different websites which provide such services free of cost such as www.freearticlesubmission.com, www.articlecycle.com, freearticlepost.com, www.articlevista.com, www.squidoo.com many more.

Developing a website is not a difficult task as compare to get traffic for the website. Different techniques and tricks are used to increase the web traffic. Following are some techniques that can be used for this purpose.

Search Engine Submission:
The first and most important step is to get high rank in the search engines. To achieve this goal submit your site to the search engines and write good meta-tags in your home page. All search engines can display your website at top in specific categories. If you have budget then you can but this service from the popular search engines. This will increase the traffic dramatically but this is an expensive way.

Link Exchange:
This technique also provides useful result. Using this technique you can exchange the links with other website (if other website's owner agrees).

Search Engine Optimization:
The different companies, which deal in search engine optimization, can be asked to make your page ranking better. This way is also very expensive.

I use all the methods described above, but they do take a lot of time to implement. Pay Per Click Advertising (PPC) is much easier and has a much shorter learning curve.

Just as the name indicates, you can pay as little as .01 cent on Google Adwords and a minimum .10 cents for advertising on Yahoo each time someone clicks on your ad. You can literally get your listing on the front page of Yahoo or Google in a matter of hours instead of months like you must do with search engine optimization.  To see an example, visit either Google or Yahoo! And see the top listings shaded out in blue. These ads are advertisers who are paying on a per click basis to be there.

You only need to be sure you are bidding on terms which are relevant to your site. Otherwise, you will get traffic to your site, but if it is not targeted traffic (using relevant keywords to what you are selling) it will likely costs you a lot of money without any sales.

www.RedneckGurus.com is the site which taught me how to do this right out of the box. This site is geared toward the beginner marketers and for me was very easy to understand.

If you are brave and want to go at it head first, the top two pay per click networks are Google Adwords at www.google.com and Yahoo Advertising at www.searchmarketing.yahoo.com

A word of caution, picking the wrong keywords using this method could cost you your butt. Do your research on PPC! If you do, and you have a quality product, you could be making sales today.
