It's simple....
1.  Ensure your site has a THEME.
2.  Ensure your site has CONTENT relevant
    to the theme.
3.  Ensure that the theme and content are
    of interest to people other than 
    yourself and your friends.
4.  Optimise your metatags for good
    ratings on the search engines.
5.  Register with the top search engines.
4 and 5 above are covered in my homepages at

Alternatively (as some ppl do), doctor your
hit counter!

For information on promoting your website
I recommend that you read this article:
Secrets of Searching the Web & Promoting your Website
http://www.best.com/~mentorms/eureka_i.htm
You can also do your submissions and read reviews of the
specific search engines by using the
Eureka! Internet Search Engine

May I assume you have inserted META tags in your top pages and sumitted
your Web site to dozens of the top search engines?
Another good way to bring traffic to your site is to subscribe to
mailing lists specifcic to the topic of your site. This site has 1000's
of them listed by topic/category.
http://www.neosoft.com/internet/paml/bysubj.html
Many of these emailing lists have in excess of 50,000 subscribers!
Select two or three that are right "on target" for your site's subject
matter and subscribe to them.
Once you start receiving the emails, read 3 or 4 issues first to get a
"feel" for it. Then, as other people on the list start submitting their
questions or opinions, respond with any on target information you can
offer. If you are selling product on your Web site, be carefull about
clearcut advertising in your posts. However, ALWAYS include your
signature with your URL, email address and a short line about what it is
you are selling :-)
I hope this helps you.

A word of caution about this dubious piece of advice. If you do this you
will find yourself faced with a barrage of spamming e-mail.

The key is Search Engine support.  Submit your site to the top search
engines (1) Yahoo (2) Infoseek (3) Excite (3) Altavista (4) Hotbot
Then advertise your URL in revelant newsgroups.  Sometimes you can get
an angry backlash so you may have to disguise it and put up a post then
add your URL to your signature.
Also, think about joining Banner Exchange programs like Link Exchange.

Advertising in appropriate newsgroups produce more results than search
engines or banner programs. It may be years before anyone will find your
site through a search engine.


Could change the theme of your web page to cater for the millions of
perverts that are out there surfing the web.

 Subject: Anyone knows GOOD tips to get more traffic ?

I have a web page that does very little, offers little, isn't much to look
at but gets about 1,500 hit per month.  I liked to search engines,
advertised on newsgroups and used META tags like crazy.  I also offer
something FREE, that'll get them every time.  Go to my page and look at the
META tags.  They work for me.  By the way, traffic at my site is growing by
about 200-300 hits per month.

about 200-300 hits per month.
Has it ever occurred to a bird-brain like you the NO-ONE actually WANTS
to see your pages - they just get pissed off for being scammed.
Why don't you join AOL - 'cos that's where most toss-pots like you
reside. Do you get it off by seeing your hit-counter going up?
You really are pathetic.

Have a look around the Yahoo directories for a category 
which has not got many entries, then do a good page on the
subject and submit it to Yahoo. Link that page to your
others. Do it several times.
One thing you should not do is have many links from your
site to other peoples. It makes it too easy for them to
leave without exploring your site.
Above all, make sure your site has plenty of interesting
info and is attractive without using gratuitous gimmicks.
Then people will link to you.
You can also submit your site to endless web award schemes.
There are so many of them that it is surprisingly easy
to win and get good links to your pages. If it is a
kid friendly site try this one:
http://www.weburbia.com/safe/
Even better, do your own award scheme and everyone
who wins will link back to you.
Post helpful answers on usenet with relevant links to
your pages. To do this effectively you need to make a
page or two about a question which gets asked all the
time on usenet. For example "Does anyone have good
tips to get more web traffic?", to which you reply...

Actually doesn't need to cost that much. One UK computer company
sponsors TWO premiership teams for less than 200k GBP per year.
Only problem is people still think they make wallpaper!
