One way to lure visitors to your site is through article marketing. Currently, the most popular free articles directory is Ezine Articles. The reason authors write articles and place them on this site is so they can get exposure for their link, which can be featured in the lower portion of the article as well as in the bio box. Ezine Articles allows web publishers to get free content, and each time they do the author of the article gets their link on the Internet again. This means more people will see it, which is what you want.
Social networking is yet another way to get people to come to you. There are sites like Myspace, Facebook and Twitter you can use to bring in traffic.
