A nice one indeed, but this one has certain ideas which requires investment to get good attention.
For example, Facebook promotion is mere waste without enough fans in a page, so to get more fans, you must invest a lot in it.
Secondly, "Offer something for free" - is something that is free for the users, and not us :P.

Rest all are common stuffs that must be done for a website.. Overall, in simple words, getting good traffic for free is impossible...
 
@sathishkumar, thanks mate for encouraging me...B-)


@Froomple, You dnt need to invest money everytime to offer something to users. You can be offer something realated to your skills too, like a Designer can offer some quality banners or a Facebook cover Photo with User photos and name in a good style, A coder can offer script, A webmaster can offer - free website installation or free pages for someone. or you can offer Link Exchange etc.

Also, For getting more fans on facebook page, A website owner needs to interact with others. he need to tell his family, friends, circles about his creation. Also If possible he can use a popup for requesting site visitors to like there site. Like I used on http://looklikecelebrity.com.

thanks,

@avRo, if you want to use for wordpress then install it, its very easy to use, but use google adwords to find keywords instead from this

thanks
 
Awesome post, I find using a lot of Social media to get a following in your niche best way to get bursts of traffic. But that only works if you are adding excellent content to your site regularly.
 
@Bizzoyce - Yes, I already mentioned Content is King.... When i started using social networks and bookmarking, I thoughts its wastage of time..... but now m getting about 30-40% traffic from them

I agree that free classified site are one of the best source of getting traffic on a website. but there are also some rules to post free classified ads. I have just found a classified website and want to share it with you.
Posting classified ads site
 
From my point of view SEO is a ongoing process. So try to do regular update of your site and contents. First of all do your on-page SEO perfectly. After doing your on-page work start your off page SEO work. Do every type of SEO work for which you will get maximum benefit from them.
