Virtually everyone who owns a website is in a never-ending quest to increase web traffic. They post their links in their email signatures, they include them on email lists and message boards, and even print them on their business cards. With Web 2.0, there are many other ways to increase web traffic. Here are four that many people overlook:

1. Social bookmaking sites ? Tag your web pages with social bookmarks (like digg and del.icio.us) to take advantage of the bookmarking sites? search visibility. The tags can help your pages get indexed and help you rise in search engine rankings.

2. Another great place to post a link is on sites like Flickr, where people can share their photos online. Write a post when you post your pictures, and add a note with your URL. Once it?s saved, it will turn into a hyperlink that can be clicked. When people view your pictures, they may just click on the link and be transported to your website.

3. You can also increase your web traffic by commenting on other people?s blogs and including your URL. But, make sure that you?re interested in the subject and have something meaningful to say. If you can contribute to the discussion, there?s a greater chance that your comment (and your link) will be left intact. Otherwise, the blogger will perceive your comment as spam and delete it without a second thought.

4. Links can also be posted on a website that is specific to your industry. Again, it must not be an obvious spam post or else it will be deleted. But if the post is tastefully done, it will help you increase web traffic to your site.

These are just a few creative ways to increase web traffic. Always use your imagination, and take advantage of the trends in Internet use. When you stay ahead of the curve, your efforts will be much more effective.
