Many webmaster have websites that do not receive any traffic to them, whatsoever.  They are stuck with a problem that every webmaster has seen, how to get a flood of website traffic to their site.
There are many ways and factors of how to receive visitors to your website.  Methods range from buying website traffic to creating on-site search engine optimization.  I will take a look at a few methods and hopefully they help you to drive targeted visitors to your website.
First off, On-site Search Engine Optimization, or SEO for short is the best and single handedly easiest methods of gaining traffic.  You need to write quality content that is targeted to the niche that your website is all about, a niche being a narrow topic, not too broad.  For example, if you were to build a website about golf, it would be very hard to rank well for the keyword golf.  But if you were to build a website about callaway golf clubs, you would find it much easier to get better search engine rankings and much easier to write quality content for your website. The more relevant the content on your website to the domain name you have chosen, the better rankings you should be able to achieve.  Also, You need to supply backlinks to your website from related sites in your niche.  This can be daunting and time consuming, so there are several services that can help you in this regard, such as link directory submissions and social bookmarking.  Though Social Bookmarking submissions are not as effective as they used to be, a backlink to your website is still a backlink, no matter where it comes from.
If your website needs an instant boost in traffic, you may want to buy website traffic.  This usally is a quick way to pad your website stats, and works great if you have a free offer or an informational website without selling genuine products.  Your website becomes an ad on a publishers website as a full screen popunder.  This is not as effective as SEO, however it does help in branding your website and getting your website out there to the pack.
The best scheme to gain website traffic, is to start working on it NOW and not to put it off any longer.  Many web builders do not succeed exclusively by being lazy and not concentrating their efforts on traffic generation, quality content, and on-site search engine optimization.  The more time and work you put forward today, the more traffic and visitors your website will receive
