You can use forums to get traffic to your website. If you add a signature link to your website and actively participate in forums, you can get mass amounts of traffic.
Or you can write 10 articles a day and submit to an article directories. How about 10 articles a day for a year, that's 3,650 articles in one year. How about submitting to 10 article sites? That is 36,500 article links out. Optimize it for seo to rank high in 48 hours( see my article rank high on google in 48 hours where I give step by step instructions on how to rank on first page of google).
Now take 36,500 articles link and multiply by at least 100 views per link and that's 3,650,000 visitors to your website. I would say at least you would get that much traffic. You will probably get more than 100 views so 3,650,000 is the least amount.
Good luck!
10 articles a day seems like quite a bit, especially when writing orginal quality content. After all, it seems like quality content is what gets an article viewed. I've seem many articles submitted that barely get any views.
Think about it, articles are submitted on whatever your topic/niche is everyday, what makes a article stand out is it's quality/orginality.
Also, rewrite articles before submitting them to different article directories. Major article sites like EzineArticles will reject submissions if they find them somewhere else, so no copy n paste.
Article marketing will be gruesome if your articles don't stand out whatsoever.
