What does your website sell?

Don't have one i'm just talking in general here.

Well, again, it depends on the industry. If you sell food products the most cost-effective way could be to have a food and recipe blog... If you sell services it could be good SEO... and so on.

Each industry has its own cost-effective ways depending on the niche, the audience, the marketing budget, and how professional your website looks (in fact, boosting your traffic may be a waste of time if your website doesn't convert!).

In general, the following will boost your online traffic:

1) on site SEO
2) writing a useful blog
3) off site SEO (backlinks)
4) pay per click campaigns
5) social media
6) online directories
7) press release
8) seminars / training
...and so on
