My favorite way to get visitors is to go out on the Net and find sites that share interests with mine.
All good websites provide an email address.
When you find a site that you think might fit with yours, email them including your URL, tell them you're going to link to their site, and say you'd appreciate it if they'd link to you. Most sites will be happy to do it. It always helps if you go ahead and post their link on your site and then tell them where to find it. If you really feel creative, you can start an awards program and start awarding sites you like, asking them to link the award back to your site. Here's an example of my homemade awards page .
