Dear friends, I understand that its very important for all of us to increase traffic but dont try any paid links, link exchange sites etc. There may be lots of sites which saying that add your sites in social bookmarking sites, web directories etc. These solution worked very well initial days but after google penguin release, we saw a sudden drop in traffic for those sites which considered these methods.

These methods are black hat seo and sooner or later will be detected by google. If any site is found using these tectics a lot then google may remove site from its search index which could be great loss for us. So please try to drive natural traffic. Dont do too much link posting. :)

Lets play safe. earn safe.
