Social bookmarking: This is a relatively new concept from the early 1990s. Social bookmarking enables people to tag web sites to save them for later use. These tags can be shared with others. They can provide word-of-mouth advertising for your blog or web site. If your articles are topical, written well, and have a good reputation, social bookmarking can help foster that reputation throughout the web to new audiences, generating a new stream of traffic to your site.

Blog Comments: The number of blogs is increasing every day; right now there are more than 70 million blogs on the web. There are literally hundreds, sometimes thousands, of blog posts related to things that people surfing the web are interested in. Commenting on some of these posts can drive traffic to websites. All you have to do is include a link to the website you want to drive traffic to in the comment. This link will be clicked by people reading the blog and will also be picked up by search engines.

Article Distribution – People can post articles on subjects that they are interested in to many different kinds of websites. Many of these sites are free, and there are some where a fee is paid to the author. Services also exist to submit these articles to many websites for the author, sometimes without the author’s knowledge. As an author, it is important to write topical and relevant articles well; it is also important to write articles on topics that are either interesting to the general public or to special-interest groups. Including links to certain websites in these articles is a surefire way for authors to generate traffic to those sites.

Forum Posting – There are many online communities, called forums, where people can gather to discuss shared interests. Contributing to these forums regularly, with knowledgeable insights and information in the form of posts or comments, can help increase the page rank of a web site or can generate more traffic for that site if the forum poster includes a link to their website in the comment or post.

Although the methods above are the most common ones to increase backlinks and, therefore, traffic to web sites, using a combination of these methods and other novel methods, such as viral marketing, can generate the best results and the most traffic to a site.
