Link Popularity - To increase your traffic, you must strengthen your link popularity. Link popularity essentially means the number of links on the internet that reference to your website. If you have limited funds, link popularity can generally be increased primarily in two ways. The first method is by exchanging links with other web sites with similar content. The second method is promoting articles that relate to your site, including a link to your site in the article and then promotion the article on as almost all article directory sites as possible. Employing both tactics is the most effective; however, the latter is especially effective because it creates multiple one-way links back to your site.
Link Quality - Keep in mind, link popularity is imperative, but link quality may be even more crucial. There are two components to link quality. First, sites that are pointing to your website ideally must have related content. Keyword engines will give links from sites with related content more value. The second component to link quality is the actual words the other webmaster uses in your link. The goal is to ensure the links pointing back to your website include your most relevant keywords in the link title.
Article Promotion - One of the best methods to improve both your link popularity and link quality is through article marketing.

Think of the potential here. You are getting a one-way link from every site that posts your article.
