There are numerous ways to generate traffic to your web site or Blog. At the end of the day, you will need traffic to increase your opportunity of offering your products or services to a wide audience. The old adage, the money is in the list applies. The more traffic, the more people, the bigger your captive audience will be and the more revenue you will generate.
Safelists:
A safelist is basically a traffic generation tool to which you subscribe - either free or paid options exist and most Safelists provide you with a decent start, offering inducements for you to register with them. They offer free credits, which can be turned into free advertising, and other freebies can also be offered.
Before joining a safelist, set up for yourself a couple of email addresses - at least two gmail accounts, which will be specifically used for these Safelists - call them "joessafelist@gmail.com or something similar" - The reason why you use new addresses is that these Safelists send e mails (adverts) from all members to the other members of the Safelists. This can clutter your mailbox.
When you read other members mails, you earn credits, which can then be converted to advertising for yourself. Quite nifty and the results can be reasonable. Because you are competing with other advertisers, your adverts need to be good to attract clicks. Safelists are easy to use, quite effective and most offer the opportunity for you to refer to others - enabling you to earn referral income or additional advertising credits. When you want to advertise your product or service, just click on "Safelist e mailer" and fill in your advert details and the url link - then click send - your advert will be automatically sent to thousands of people.
The following Safelists are checked for quality:

Traffic Exchanges:
These work similarly to the Safelists. With these, you are required to surf other advertisers web sites / capture pages and for doing this, you earn credits which are converted to "shows" of your advertisement.
Blogging Strategies:
A great way to drive traffic is to set up a singular Blogger Blog. This Blog should contain links and information pertaining to the products you wish to promote. The secret in getting good Google ranking and thus traffic is to create several wordpress blogs, which contain similar information (not the same articles) and link these to your Blogger Blog. This creates backlinks and assists in generating traffic. The wordpress blogs you would use are "wordpress powered by mu) - essentially these are multi-user blogs already established that enable you to create posts on their blogs.
Once you have started to see the effectiveness of your traffic generation strategies using the Safelists and Blogging strategies, you will need to look carefully at the strategies you are applying to capture these leads and how to follow up with them.
I'll deal with capture pages and autoresponders in another blog.
My advice is test the free mailing systems and get the hang of using them - after this use of traffic generating software and other strategies will need to be implemented quickly.
