The legitimate ways to drive traffic are:
-Get linked to in a quality fashion. Quality links are how Google puts you at the top.
-Pay Google.
-Have content worth reading so people want to visit your site for the information they can find.
-Have good products that people want to buy.
By the way — avoid spam methods. This will just annoy people and cause them to avoid your site.
Dear MTek,
You can read ebooks about how to generate traffic to your company website. You can get them below.
You can get traffic by trying a free traffic exchange service like TrafficSwarm at…
or WebCentreSurf at
Try StumbleUpon at and add your site to your favorites.
You can try article marketing at an article submission service like and link back to your website in the resource box for your articles.
You can also comment on popular blogs like John Chow’s or Joel Comm’s that allow linkbacks to your URL. Do a Yahoo Search.
Create a video and upload it to YouTube with your URL flashed on the screen. All of these are free.
Write articles and submit them to ezines. I do it and I’m getting very good traffic from it.
The better quality your article the faster your website will move up in the rankings.
You can also get good traffic from link exchanges and one way links back to your website. Just google link exchange and one way back links and you will get a bunch to choose from. Use commonsense and do research when choosing link exchange networks. Exchange links with websites that are related to your company website.

Doing it this way you can market ANY website for life – The secret is to purchase permanent advertising space in other peoples products for a one-time fee.
The reason is because these information products or (ebooks) go viral when readers read them and are read by many thousands of people everyday…believe me, this is viral traffic at it’s best!
I hope that helped
Here is a Great website to do this for you:
I liked it alot because I am now able to have all my websites go viral and recieve lots of traffic daily.
is free for that and allows links like your e-commerce.
Use wordpress and blogger too.
Use squidoo too.
You have two options – You could either hire an SEO company to do the work for you, good luck there because even though many people will recommend different SEO’s for you to use, your not going to know if they are right for you until you’ve already spent the money to hire them.
And second you could learn how to do SEO yourself which could take some time to learn right depending on where you are knowledge wise.
So how did they pick you to take care of this, are you savvy with SEO ? The reason I ask is more than one person on here has stated that the boss picked them to take care of SEO, but then they come on here asking for help. Just curious.
