The objective of every webmaster is to have as many visitors to his or her website. Unless the website is designed to serve other purpose. In doing this, there are several tactics that one can use to accomplish this task.

Here are some of the methods that are commonly used to drive traffic to a website:-

• Pay Per Click (PPC!) - This is a method that involves paying a third party to advertise on your behalf to various website that the third party feels that your ad correlates more with the content that the publisher is offering. The most widely used is Google Adwords. Others include: Yahoo Publishers Network, Kontera, Adbrite, Bidvertiser among other. It should be noted that this services are paid for and therefore to drive traffic to your website this way will not only require monetary aspect but monitoring too. Many advertisers have lost thousands of dollars through this method, all am saying is, if not done with care it may not as profitable especially for E-commerce website.
• Paid-To-Click(PTC) - This is more or less the same as the PPC but the difference is that the third party publishes this ads on their website and pay their member to click and view this ads say for a specific duration like 30 seconds. My favourite is Bux.to.
• Viral Traffic - This takes a form of a referral method where you introduce other webmasters to the system with your downlines having a link to your website. The most known viral marketing website is the FreeViral.com. This is also a very efficient way of driving traffic to a website but the downside of it is that you do not get targeted visitors who are looking for what you are offering.
• Free Organic Traffic - This is a method that involves tweaking your website so as it ranks well for a particular keyword(s) in major search engines giving you free and organic traffic. Therefore I honestly think that this is the most viable and most recommended for someone who wants to maximize his or her bottom line without incurring costs.

In all these methods with the exception of the free organic traffic, you are required to pay. Something that you need to understand is that you can succeed in the above methods but what am going to introduce
