2. Link Strategies:

Email Marketing can bring to your site traffic with minimal cost. Buy or download a free newsletter tool and send newsletters to your clients informing them about new services, products or special offers.
Add a form in your site in order to collect email addresses from the people that want to get your newsletters.
Additionally you can setup an E-mail application and use E-mail signatures.
It is not advisable to start buying mail lists, avoid spamming your users at all costs.
5. Social Media
Be part of the discussion around the globe using the social networks. Open an account or a page about your company in Facebook. Create an attractive Facebook application. Build embassies in various social networks and get feedback of your online presence and increase your publicity in terms of awareness and website traffic.

8. The success mix

Almost everyone that earnsan incomeon the internet (even the millionaires) do so through affiliate marketing. Being successful in affiliate marketing involves applyingthe formula that makes other affiliate marketers successful. For example, autoblogging. Autoblogging has been one of the least well-known forms of making money for quite some time… primarily because it’s quite difficult to make a good auto-blog. Yet, when done right, it can provide you with a perpetual passive income with the only real work required being the setting up process. Video Marketing, and several other marketing strategies are all designed to drive traffic to your site, can be incorporated steadily in order to raise the position your site appears in the search engine results page when someone searches for a term related to your site. And yet, even this can be totally automated.
Don’t you mean “relevant” traffic?
Nice article and we concur that successful Internet Marketing includes a mix of the items you’ve listed above.
