I agree.
You can do SE optimization, advertising campaigns, campaigns on social networks. All of these methods have sub-methods, free and paid ones.
BHW has a lot of services on the marketplace if you have a budget, or you can read numerous tutorials here or on the internet if you want to try it for yourself.

Hello,

There are a few suggestions on how one could actually increase the traffic to his/her blog. Here's my suggestions:

1) Guest blogging - you could write some really quality texts and then share them on guest blogging sites. However, you need to find some high authority having sites so that it would be visited and your post would be found with a link to your official site.
2) Link building - even though it might not seem very legal, the option exists. There are people who own blog networks and sell links for the interesants. This would probably require you to write a post and send to them so it will be published.
3) Related companies - also, if you have some budget on this issue, you can also find a company that works on increasing the traffic to your site.
4) Templates/landing pages - also, if you have designers you can try creating templates or landing pages that with certain keywords might also increase your traffic.

Ask Kim Roach, Matthew Woodward, Ana Hoffman or Ann Smarty, they have some interesting ideas.
But you can find enough info on bhw.
Try the Skyscraper technique.

nice and true answer

I'm not sure if this will work for you but what I did was build up my blog in terms of high quality content, spruced up the design itself and invested heavily in SEO. Recently, I tried paid traffic from http://webtrafficgeeks.org and it seems to be going well. You could also go with social media promotions, Facebook, Twitter and such.

[h=2]Target Your Content to an Audience Likely to Share
[/h][h=2]When strategizing about who you're writing for, consider that audience's ability to help spread the word. Some readers will naturally be more or less active in evangelizing the work you do, but particular communities, topics, writing styles and content types regularly play better than others on the web.[/h]
[h=2]Participate in the Communities Where Your Audience Already Gathers[/h][h=2]Advertisers on Madison Avenue have spent billions researching and determining where consumers with various characteristics gather and what they spend their time doing so they can better target their messages. [/h]
[h=2]Make Your Blog's Content SEO-Friendly[/h][h=2]Search engines are a massive opportunity for traffic, yet many bloggers ignore this channel for a variety of reasons that usually have more to do with fear and misunderstanding than true problems. [/h]
[h=2]Use Twitter, Facebook and Google+ to Share Your Posts & Find New Connections[/h][h=2]Twitter has 271 million active users every month. Facebook has over 1 billion active users. Google+ has over 300 million. LinkedIn is over 300 million. Together, these networks are attracting vast amounts of time and interest from Internet users around the world, and those that participate on these services fit into the "content distributors" description above, meaning they're likely to help spread the word about your blog.[/h][h=2] [/h][h=2] Install Analytics and Pay Attention to the Results[/h][h=2]At the very least, I'd recommend most bloggers install Google Analytics (which is free), and watch to see where visits originate, which sources drive quality traffic and what others might be saying about you and your content when they link over.
