What are the most effective ways to get targeted traffic?

Random and unique traffic is good to any site but getting targeted traffic is what makes the difference. This kind of traffic yields the highest conversion which would determine your site's success.

Given a budget, I would suggest you opt for PayPerClick. PPC is a very effective way of getting targeted traffic to your site so long as you know how the system works. Keyword and market research should be your primary concern in a PPC campaign. These keyword searches will give you the targted visitors you need. Buying targetted link backs are also effective at getting targeted traffic.

Another great way of targetting your desired audience is through forum posting on similar niche with your link on your signature. What I like about forum posting is that it is totally free. Posting on blogs relevant to your theme is another great way of drawing the right traffic to your site.

Your content will always be a factor to be considered. Getting traffic is just the initial phase, making the conversion from your traffic will depend on how well you match your visitors' needs

Consistently place ads on sites that receive major traffic.
PPC can get expensive, I know!

Also try submitting your site to website directories. The links help your rankings rise.

i've always relied on SEO, and the first 6 months are the hardest to get by but after that you should be on your way to doing well. i'm not very good at PPC and always end up losing money so i tend to stay away from it.

Build and use your own opt-in list of targeted and interested prospects. Offer a free newsletter that provides fresh, interesting, and relevant content. You'll receive feedback from your readers about what's important to them, and over time they'll come to know and trust you. Your products, services, and even recommendations will then be taken much more seriously because you've developed credibility with your readers. An excellent to build not only traffic, but long-term traffic.

ppc is expensive, but everything else is time consuming

What about using ReviewMe?

They can do website content or product reviews. You set the price you are willing to pay per review and select the blogs within a specific channel you want to review your product. I've never used them personally but we intend to use them with Diabco Life Sciences as we ramp up on our online marketing plan.

Does anyone have any success stories with ReviewMe as an advertiser?

Oh, and I've also read that this type of blogging review can also increase your links and search engine optimization. It really sounds like a win-win. I'm interested to see if anyone has any experience with it.
