Your best tips to increase traffic?

A great way I've noticed to work that I don't necessarily follow as I'm not the most patient is just building an awesome site to begin.

If you promote to early you are wasting your time. Make your site something worth visiting. If it's a personal blog it's slightly different but once you have built something nice begin doing blogroll exchanges with other similar blogs. It will help you out.

That said posting on forums is a great way to get some traffic. This forum will send you traffic and help you get an idea on blogging. If you join a forum about your niche it will be targeted traffic. Say a gardening forum if you have a gardening blog...

The number one traffic increasing scheme is to form links with other similar, high quality blogs and then waiting about six months until you start to rise in the Google ranks. That is the best source of quality, dependable traffic for my blogs.

The best way to increase traffic to your blog is get a social bookmarking software and bookmark your post. The social marker is a free software that has 48 of the top bookmarking sites.
