Be very careful about link referral programs and paid links as well as reciprocal links. All of these have the potential risk of hurting your Google Pagerank, which could do more harm than good. While it's nice to get some inbound links, organic search traffic is a vital long term goal and you don't want to do anything to jeopardize that.

Word of mouth is one of the most powerful vehicles to build or break down a company's reputation and standing. In the internet age, word of mouth has grown up. It's grown from telling a neighbor or co-worker what a good or bad experience you had with a company ( and thus why s/he should or shouldn't ever do business with said company) to blog/forum postings that have the potential to reach infinitely more people.
However, this thread's topic is how to promote your website, ie, how you can AFFECT a growth in traffic to your site. Word of mouth only occurs after good or bad experiences.
To drive traffic to your site, the first step is having a good domain name, preferably with keywords related to your business, which will result in natural type-in traffic (direct navigation). Premium names can also be purchased from an aftermarket site or via negotiation with the current domain owner.
After the name is registered or acquired and the site is built, you will want to optimize it for the search engines using proper keywords and metatags, regularly updating content (keeping pages fresh), establishing backlinks, etc, and then submitting it to the search engines to be crawled and indexed.
After this is complete, the aforementioned strategies come into play- article submission, press releases, blog creation and forum postings, business cards, print/radio/screenvision/adsense advertisments, etc.

One of the methods listed is directory submission
I have become discouraged with directory submissions. I hear from the gurus that reciprocal links with free directories is useless for page rank yet it seems that 99% of free directories demand a reciprocal link.
What is the consensus here?

reciprocal links
Some webmasters usually do not link back thus enjoying the benefits of an inbound links. Moreover the links are buried to your link page which takes five to ten clicks to view the page. Your anchor text points to another landing page instead of directly pointing to yours when it is placed by the webmasters in their page. This leaves your anchor text with no relevance or worth. Webmasters deceive you by placing your link on their page but leave you with no way & space to navigate back to your site from theirs.

My biggest undoing to traffic generation has been trying to be good in all traffic generation sources.
And my marketing was haphazard - I was trying to do it all at once.
I have since decided to stick to one traffic source till I see results. Once I have seen results I move to the next traffic source.
So this is methodical - and you won't be all over the show because you're running after the latest fad of traffic generation.
As one marketer put it, even when you're learning languages - you don't learn French, Spanish and Italian at the same time. You single one - once you're done with it - that is when you can move to learning another one.
So as an example, my day may go like this;
1. Write 5 articles for my site promotion
2. Make 10 forum postings
3. Make 1 blog post
Once you have a system - just stick to it - till you see some results

Great tip meshmore, having a system is awesome and it works if you stick with it, however, it requires discipline to stay focused. I like the way you only listed 3 things to start with so that it doesn't get overwhelming. So many newbies get overwhelmed and quit, if they use a simple system to start and continued to add on a little at a time they will succeed. This is a great thread keep it going.

I'm going against conventional thinking here:
OFFLINE marketing works!
The most powerful statement is "make money from home"!
-place bandit/road signs with this phrase and a simple easy to remember site
-place a sign on your car and go get into a traffic jam(don't laugh it works)
-Taxi cabs! they sell advertising, they DRIVE EVERYWHERE!
-for a even bolder move go to some of these big "make money" type seminars. pass out your cards or place on the driver side windows
-try your local "penny saver" classifieds with using the phrase up above.
-place door hangers(works as long as your product has a good price point)
The original post and ideas are great for building medium and long term traffic. Remember most people who go "online" get so bombarded and confused and become paralyzed and do nothing.
The methods above work instantly and have been proven to work.
Old ways are not bad ways. Just everyone has jumped on things that seem easier, but not always!
