The trick is to target one profitable keyword at Google, and then focus your site content to be relevant on that keyword. This could bring you huge free traffic for long term.
2. Use Facebook for lots more traffic. In case you didn't know, Facebook receives more visitors everyday compared to Google. Hence, if you think that traffic from Google is huge, than you should also use Facebook as well. Plus, Facebook is less saturated since not many companies are trying Facebook marketing so far.
3. Jump into niches with average competition but high in demand. Some niches might not be competitive at all, probably because those niches are not profitable. A good niche must have average competition level but high in demand and profit, so you will be able to get traffic, beat the rest and make real money.
4. You can also get targeted traffic from Youtube. You can just use free programs like Animoto or Camstudio for this purpose. Upload the video and then include your website link in the video description.
5. Target proper keywords for search engine marketing. The big difference between successful campaign and the rest that fail is keywords. Use tools like Micro Niche Finder or Market Samurai for this.
