Good Points Joseph. Article marketing with unique content is proven method. But what about hubpages & infobarrel ? They will allow to write articles in which we can backlink to our blogs/sites. Apart from that they also help to generate the adsense revenue. Don’t you think this is like one bird two shots ?
I know ezine articles has got high PR but still hubpages & infobarrel are not out of context ? What’s your view on them ?
And Oneline Communities list is good

@Phanindra, Hubpages and infobarrel are quite good especially because the let you make some money. It is good if you can publish on those sites too since you can always get backlinks from there.
Great post Joseph ! Traffic exchange is something I haven’t heard about but it sounds interesting.. Could you elaborate a little more on it and its processes??

@AJ, the concept involved in Traffic Exchange is quite simple, its like you visiting my site and Me visiting you back. But in traffic exchange its not just me and you, but thousands of people.
Do a search on google using “TRAFFIC EXCHANGE SITES” to find some of these sites, register with them and start visiting other peoples site. The more sites you visit the more the points you earn for your own site, and the higher visitors you get. so its quite easy. You may dedicate one hour daily to traffic exchange if you want to get good result from it.

Traffic exchanges could end up getting your site banned if you use services like Google adsense.
But link exchanges could work if you do it properly. I’ve seen 3 way link exchanges go very well (although I haven’t done this in years).

I think there are 2 main reasons why blogger fail to achieve and hold the traffic – first choosing wrong niche and 2nd most surrender before blog mature and start making stable income.
For me, guest blogging is the most sustainable way of generating longterm traffic. It’s also arguably the most ethical

I think the best way to get steady traffic to blogs is search engine optimization. This way you are guaranteed a steady stream of highly targeted traffic. Blogroll exchanges are not that good compared to other methods like article submissions.
