Big name companies often throw thousands and thousands of unfocused dollars into their 'generic looking template' websites and get far less traffic than the little guys that have no advertising budget but have great marketing plans.

Create an email with a joke that relates to the theme of your website but 'leave out the punch line'. Next, create a page on your website with the punch line of the joke.

If you look to the above paragraphs, you will notice a lot of relevant linking going on. Not only is this valuable to your readers, but it’s a great way for other blogs to notice you and we all appreciate a good track back.
POST REGULARLY
Three things are extremely important when first starting your blog:
1. Have a few quality articles posted on your blog prior to the launch.
2. Have a few quality articles on the back burner so you can quickly post through the first few weeks.
3. Post on a regular basis. Why would readers want to visit your blog or subscribe if you are only posting twice in two months? Give them something to look forward to.
If you do not have a blog, I also encourage you to start one. It’s a good platform for you to foster better relationship with your list. With a blog, you can also start looking into other traffic strategies such as search engine optimization, which is a big topic by itself.
For other traffic strategies such as article marketing, forum marketing etc, you can use them as part of your effort to build links for search engine optimization. These are slow but consistent way to drive traffic to your website, but they are not likely to make an immediate impact in short run.
