Saying "thank you" is important. Where you are in life, what you have accomplished, is also the result of other people's efforts. Someone hired you for your job. Income from sales is the result of other people buying. At some point, people have helped you get to where you are. Another person could have recommended your site to someone else. Whatever the reason or the method of the help, it is important to make sure that all of these people know that you appreciate them. Making sure that people feel that they have contributed to your life can be done by showing your gratitude in a public or private manner. Plus, they will send more traffic to you based upon these efforts to thank them. You should already know how to do basic search engine optimization. SEO is one of the best and most traditional forms of traffic generation. Set your imagination loose and fire up your creativity the next time you're working on your SEO. Why not choose some of the wackier and more far out keywords in your niche and focus on those? When people search on these keywords, your site will be more prominent as there is far less competition. Even though fewer people might be searching for those far-out terms, those visitors are more likely to convert as you're targeting exactly what they're looking for. Besides, you'll find visitors are more interested in some of those more unusual keywords and phrases, which can keep them on your site longer.

Most blog owners think that press releases are of no use to them for traffic generation purposes. Of course, if you have no idea how to write a good press release or don't know where to submit them, you're right. Yet, if you use just a little creativity, you should find that a good press release can be an excellent way to increase interest in your site and generate traffic. Free press release submission and distribution sites are okay, but don't make these your primary focus. Send them out yourself. Send them to local media outlets. Send them to local businesses that might be helped by your services send them through email. Don't resort to spamming, but be creative about where you send them and you should find plenty more traffic coming your way.

The projects and sites that you have can get lots of traffic through standard methods. Many "standard" methods are labeled as such because they have a track record of really working. Most of the time, standard methods lack a little bit of creativity, despite the fact that they work so well. Some of them are not so 'standard', more creative in the way they are done. When you step outside of the box and take a few risks, this can help you get even more traffic. After all if something doesn't work, it doesn't work. It isn't the end of the world, right?
