Anything automated, stay away from it. It usually comes back to bite you in the end.

The best way to get traffic will depend on the type of traffic you want to receive. Many will say word of mouth, or just even mentioned in press releases.

For me, and like most businesses, you have to spend money to make money. The key is to make sure that your advertising budget is less than what you would get on the income. I would have no problem with $5k in advertising, if the money spend would yield $3k monthly recurring revenue. It all depends on what you want to have out there as a RISK and what the REWARD is for that risk.

Well, you do not need to break your bank account to use Google AdWords after all. Attempt by starting from some long trail keywords which would definitely be more affordable than some too broad terms like web hosting, which may never lead to real sales and then set your daily budget limit. Buying some advertising spaces on the hosting related blogs and websites too could be recommended.

Agreed. Poor grammar and spelling makes you appear extremely unprofessional.

I think a combination of pay per click, advertisement and Press releases is a good way to get traffic, never concentrate only on 1 thing. You need to find the real places to get targeted traffic, advertise on Domain Forums or Sites if you sell Domain Names etc.

For me SEO is one of the most effective way in generating web traffic and you can use different SEO strategy such as social bookmarking and article submission.

SEO is a long term effort but it will reward you long term results as well. It is one of the best ways of getting more exposure to your website especially if you are like me who have more time than money to invest.

Yes, SEO is one the better choices. It's long-term as sherwood said, but it'll be a steady stream of traffic where as the other options you mentioned are quite limited. Pay-per-click will gradually run out. People may see your site but only because your paying them to, it doesn't mean they'll go beyond that.

Your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and PayPerClick (PPC) efforts should go hand in hand. You are sacrificing traffic if you aren’t targeting customers in both areas:

• 80% of the time searchers go to the organic results first
• 65% of search traffic goes to the top ten search results
• 60% of searchers click on paid ads sometimes while 12% say they click on them always or most of the time.

There is a more detailed article about combining <<URL snipped. Advertising is not allowed.>> Highly recommended.

Interesting stats - I actually believe 95% of the time, searchers go to the organic results first - and that even the tenth ranked organic result gets more clicks than the number 1 sponsored ad.
