There are services that you can purchase and you will actually see a substantial rise in all the hits to your site but this is not targeted traffic and more than likely they are not looking for what you offer and will speed right on by your offer.

Traffic Exchange services will not benefit you in any way unless you are offering a method for new traffic You see the people that join these services join for a specific reason . They are trying to get traffic to their web site but once again it is not targeted traffic that is looking.

1. Content
What is your web site about? Do you just have a page with a lot of links and not much else?

Search engines do not rank web sites that are just a bunch of links. If you do not have content that has value then you will never be seen. You must consider things like:
1. The title of your page
2. The keywords that you are using in the title and in the body of the page.
3. The keyword density

If you don't think that you can write your own content then you can go to any one of hundreds of article directories and reprint articles on your web site.

2. Talk about your direct experiences in your web site content

Use your own experiences in your writing. You can talk about things that you are doing in relation to your web site content.As an example if you have a woodworking site then you can write about the last project you built and the trials and tribulations ,if any that went along with that process. Include pictures if you have them.

3. Forums and bulletin boards.

You could add a forum or a bulletin board to your web site. There is plenty of free software that you can install on your web site to create a forum or bulletin board.You can also drive traffic to your web site by participating in other forums and bulletin boards.Most of these allow you to have a link to your web site in your signature line. Make sure you do not violate the rules of each site or they will throw you out!
