Most of the quality traffic comes from the searchings, Add your site to searchings like google, yahoo, msn etc..
add feeds to feedburner.com type of sites.
Publish quality posts on site.

It is slow process but you will get quality traffic. That is for sure.

Many popular site gets most of sites from search engines like google.

How to optimize for google

1)Title is the best place to put your important and unique information page.
Because Google considers Title as important things than meta tags
2)Include alt attributes for images
3)Do not use javascript menu in the home page, because google spiders find your site from web some how and scans it, but the spiders will not able to see the links in the javascript. So they will get struck and end process
4)Submit a sitemap to www.google.com/webmastertools
5)Provide Bookmark us link in the home page.

These are the some ways that i use to improve the traffic.

Search engines are the best but might take you a couple of time before you can reach on top where you will get the traffic. But for the mean time, you might want to try classified ads, they are quite good for me.

While I totally agree that search engine optimization should be considered as the number one way of getting traffic, the power of word of mouth shouldn't be ignored, especially if you have a product/site that "everybody" likes. I'll use the example of webcomics - sure, there are millions of em out there. One of my best friends runs one that is constantly ranked in the top 100, and most of his traffic came from word of mouth.

Basically, one person saw his site, thought, "Hey, this is funny," and told two friends. He guesses that, while he does active SEO, most of his traffic (and recurring fans) come from word of mouth.

thank you all for suggesting. i really started getting traffic but its not that high to my expectation anyway i'm happy but i want to know if these traffic are permanent or not?

i think all these are great way to drive traffic still i prefer the link exchange and social bookmark.

The number one way is ranking high on search engines and I would say number two would be social bookmarking sites.

My blog is about 3 months old now and I am still in google's sandbox so I don't get much traffic from them, but one page on my site has a 5 star rating through stumbleupon and I get about 2000-3000 unique visitor a day to it.

So naturally I am partial to social bookmarking sites
