Content
With the new age algorithms and techniques been used by most search engines in order to provide some good content to the surfers, search engines now give utmost ranking to the website that have fresh content in abundance. So, webmasters need to add fresh content on a regular basis as this is the method of increasing traffic that is most ignored. Many people don't realize that each of the inner pages of any website functions like a mini-website, in that they are doorways through which the site will be found in search engines and through which people will enter.

Links
Linking to your website is also a very important issue because of two reasons while at the first place it places you high in the search rankings for particular keywords while on the other hand, the other sites around the Internet link to your site will increase traffic to you directly and indirectly. So, this has direct as well as indirect response over your website traffic, due to the direct linking you will get direct hits from the visitors while on the other hand from the linking to these websites you will get a higher search engine ranking in search engines which measure link popularity as an index of a website's value. One of the best ways in doing so is by doing reciprocal linking to different websites.
Publish your content
This is someway a very vague idea but has been very much beneficial for driving traffic. One of the best ways is to share your content with other websites giving a link back to your site. At one place it serves the purpose for the other website that it gets the fresh content, on the other hand your link to your website will drive traffic and customers to your website as they know that where the content is. This is an excellent way of selling your product to every nick and corner without spending budget on locating the possible customers for them. The websites link you back and you get the targeted traffic to your website.
So, if you are planning to make some radical steps in driving traffic for your website this is best way that you can do so. This way you will surely drive some long term traffic to your website.
