2) Do a SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

3) Improve the site layout

Regardless what is the type of your website/blog is, you must create a truly original content for it. Don’t spend your time searching for free artilces because Adsense really don’t like duplicate contents.

Another tips is let your visitors know what your website/blog offers to its visitors. Create a section for your new website visitors what they can gain by visitng your website/blog. Suggest them to comment on your entry so that they will feel they are belonging to your blog/website.

From their comment and suggestion, you can improve your website/blog more. Now, thats for the section for getting website traffic.
