The internet giant Google remains the biggest source of traffic, so you must think of making Google happy, along with unique and well explained content you need back links which increase importance of your page in eye’s of google and the chances are enhanced that your website might show up on the search engines list.
You can use different techniques for increasing your backlinks list which would eventually increase traffic to your site, the best methods which worked for me were guest post backlinking and forums backlinking.
While Google continues to improve it’s algorithm most of the developers felt that Google crucified them killing there traffic, Google only tries to make the readers experience better thus it introduced a big algorithm update called Google panda which supported unique and well written content while others were depressed in their search engine as an aftermath some websites traffic got killed while others traffic was enhanced, so keep up the good work publish unique and good content.
Youtube
youtube and dailymotion have been the second biggest source of traffic for me, you just have to upload video related to your niche and just give the link to your content in description and wala continuous, highly targeted traffic to your content.
guest posting
Guest posting is new yet trustful source of getting passive traffic, most of the successful bloggers got their initial readers by guest posting on top blogs, Guest posting on top blogs related to your niche can really enhance your rankings in eye’s of search engines
Social websites
Social websites like twitter, facebook and stumbleupon can give you massive traffic if your article starts getting liked by people, a chain reaction starts and traffic continues to blast in.
Facebook fanpage also helps a lot in getting initial traffic for your new website.
Article marketing
Article marketing technique has like died out but sharing your slides and prepared document still gives you reliable results
You can use list of slide and document sharing websites
