There are 6 forms of traffic that I will talk about

1. Start-up page traffic.

This is normally called your browsers homepage, just like Google, MSN, Yahoo, search usually the first page you see when you load your browser. Now there are many ways to do this, you can set some scripts or buttons on your page, or try to force it with many tricks to make the end-user set your page as your homepage.
The most profitable method for this is to throw up your own search engine with adsense ads or XML PPC companies search scripts. All are profitable but it would only work if it was good, and you don’t want to throw just a crappy page up as you will annoy newbies who don’t know how to change it to whatever they like. So a search engine is good because if they cant change it your going to get a lot of searches made, meaning money for a long time.

2. Typein Traffic.

As everyone here knows typein traffic can be very great at converting, say for example a friend of yours told you to visit “U TUBE DOT COM” if you did not know it from the start you could take this in a numerous amount of ways like UTUBE.com, they are really sought after domains that only usually consist of DOTCOMS because not many people will typein a .NET, anyways these domains if you can grab them are great earners. The best method of grabbing one of these is looking for beta release sites, like http://www.inviteshare.com/ this will tell you invite only sites, that are not yet public, these can be amazingly fast ways to grab upcoming potentially great traffic sites. And if you snap up typos fast could make a great earner, or a domain sale.

3. Bookmarks.

Bookmark traffic depending on what kind of site always leads the user back to you. These are mostly community sites or blogs, well , all sites really get bookmarks but the popular ones are usually member sites, like blackhatworld for instance. The earning potential here is great, and the traffic is recurring for a very long time, but i wouldn’t recommend forcing a bookmark using scripting as that will piss the users off.

4. Linked Traffic.

This is where most of your traffic should come from, Search engines, links from blogs, directories and whatever you can think of that has link potential like blackhatworld. The traffic is usually targeted because your anchor text is usually relevant to what the user wants to see.

5. Pop-ups and redirects.

Pop-ups and things can be sent from other sites, exchanges, and pop-ups from your other network of sites. You can easily get a lot of pop-up exchanges to your site(s) but the traffic is poor, usually only good for the likes of PAY PER IMPRESSION.

6. Software.

A lot of software can have built in browsers, or banners, the likes of MSN messenger always usually runs an ad at the bottom of the client. This converts into traffic by clicks, and mega targeted, you can also throw traffic in your own browser, for example ebooks, and other things like that, i put ebooks here under software because sometimes ebooks can be binded into software , but its all the same, ebook traffic can be very converting , and say you write about something and spread it through torrents, p2p and other things on the subject you want to convert it can get viral.
Viral traffic is another using the buzz to spread the word, for example the likes of youtube videos, you can throw in a lot of funny videos and watermark your urls on the video.
Another idea would be to upload the latest songs in the music charts to youtube or other type sites and throw in a ring tone affiliate url in the description.

Easy traffic

Webrings – for example www.ringsurf.com and www.webring.com can bring in easy traffic but depending on the popularity of your niche, it can be quite dead. So i will skip on to something else, but always keep this idea open.
Toplist traffic – This is pretty much an easy start for anyone, its simple in a way a voting script type banner exchange, but works. Good for dating, hacking, type sites usually but there quite what i would call SEMI-GOOD.
You can pop-up the top list voting page in a pop-up or I’m sure you can cheat it with some sort of script.
Banner Exchange – Poor traffic , easy, fast, and low converting, just depending on where you do it.
Forum traffic – One of the easiest and best out there, for example if you want to promote some Gambling poker related products sign up in a forum of that niche and talk some sense, don’t spam just answer reasonably and you’ll get some hits and exposure
Blog Comment Traffic – Do a blog search on your niche, for example the blogger search @ www.blogsearch.google.com and comment on a lot of them, this can be done by hand for best results, as you can answer according to the actual post , just give it a quick read and post something semi good with your link.
Article Traffic – Writing articles can be fast, check out www.ezinearticles.com and www.goarticles.com and a Google search will give you more. This provides a ton of backlinks as a lot of places scrape the content on article release sites. And is good because of the fact that its targeted traffic and highly convertible.
Classfieds – gumtree and craigslist can convert you can place ads for anything in there and users that want it will check your shit out, you can sell things, promote things, and even trick them, for example say you are running a dating site, post in the dating sections, Hi I’m a girl 24 from such and such I’m looking for a male send me a mail and ill send my pics, then setup an auto responder to send pics and a link to your dating site, or sell a product say a car, and link to a relevant ebay search with your affiliate link in place, YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO HAVE THE PRODUCT, cj.com runs the affiliate site of ebay so check it out.
Expired domains – can be quite good expired domains have traffic and PR already. And of course links to them, they can be found even on www.justdropped.com and www.deleteddomains.comm, these come same price as a normal domain, and you can find some quite good ones. And if you want and find good ones just sell them on at high prices.
Its also a good note to research on the domains on like link popularity or other type sites.
