There are many great ideas out there on increasing web traffic and we have talked about them here on several occasions. It seems every time I write up an article on ways to increase web traffic, I will come across more ways to get traffic.

First off, don’t waste your time on 125×125 banner type exchanges like Entrecard. Basically, you visit other people’s site and then they visit yours, but it doesn’t quite work out that way. You end up visiting more sites than the number of visitors you get. Not only that, but the visitors come in for mere seconds and do not even know what your site is about. I ran Entrecard for awhile, but it was a huge waste of time and bandwidth.

Ok, so back to the idea of increasing traffic. If you are not using the StumbleUpon toolbar than you are missing out on a great way to get traffic. If you have got some great pages, then by all means stumble them. You’ll get people visiting your site and bringing you steady traffic. You’ll also be pleasantly surprised with the quality of traffic.

Another great idea for increasing web traffic is to submit all of your decent posts to Digg. By doing this, you’ll get some search engine juice which helps in search engine, but if the article is good, you’ll get Digg traffic itself. It doesn’t hurt to submit to other sites as well.

This brings us to a great way to increase web traffic. Increase your search engine rankings. Write articles that rank well in search engines and get the link needed to get high in the search engine results. Get as many links as you can and exploit them.

Lastly, I want your suggestions. Tell me some ideas to increase the traffic to your sites that have been effective for you.
