For years I have been harping on ways to get traffic to your site. I hate to use spammy methods but there is one that works better than any other method especially if you are just starting a website.

I use elance and other places to hire writers but I also use Craiglist. My buddies over at Portalfeeder have made a little video using the exact methods that I use. You can see it on the forum. How to Get Traffic video.

I have used this to hire about 15 writers so far and as you get better at it you will make better ads.
