Do you have any tips on which web sites can bring me visitors?

I'd like some stats on what sites are hot at the moment (generating the most traffic)

Digg (so 2007?), Delicious, reddit, propeller, stumbleupon, furl, mixx, newsvine, yahoo buzz, newsvine. (not interested in natural SEO stuff for this question)

Bonus! Your advice is targeted for a site offering daily news pictures.

Bonus #2! Links to companies offering services for generating interest like socialelves + subert and profit.

TRAFFIC EXCHANGESare a great way to get visitors to your site. the only down part about that, is if you use auto surfing, set your computer and it clicks through automatically, as do many other users, then there's clearly a chance people just click through for the 8-15 seconds till the next page pops up. if they're paying attention and are interested they'll log into your site, otherwise, it'll go by the wayside. however, exchanges for manual surfers, they literally click thru manually and view the pages that come up and traffic is higher through this method.
Source(s):
check these out - the first few are auto surfing exchanges offer manual surfing, as well
http://www.rockymountainhits.com/?ref=2547
http://www.webtrafficmatrix.com/signup.php?ref=4927
http://www.definitexchange.com/surf.php?id=10491
http://www.surftarget.com/members/index.php?

the following two exchanges are purely manual surfing, offering more credits per click through thus more chances of your sites being viewed.
http://www.teddybeartraffic.com/signup.php?2769
http://www.10khits4unow.com/index.php?affid=32467

all these sites also offer referral programs - you refer people, they sign up under you, and a percentage of their clicks transfer to you.

my personal favourites are the teddybeartraffic and rockymountain - great web support, great contests and potential for earning more credits, huge database of customers.

good luck :o)

Hi,
From my experience i will give you a short guide to getting lot of traffic to you website White Hat way and Black Hat way also(you chose wich way fits your site):
First you should look to get more backlinks and mostly from the websites the google love
     .edu Powerful Backlinks
        How?
   Use these search queries in google:
site:.edu inurl:blog
"post comment" OR "post a comment" site:.edu blog
site:.edu inurl:forums "keyword"
inurl:edu/forums phpbb
You are looking for dofollow.
How can you tell the difference between dofollow/nofollow?
use firefox. : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5687
"Just a simple extension to highlight links in a page according to nofollow / dofollow status. "
Just install, reset firefox.. Activate the addon and it highlights the follow links in different colors.

Try these links also for VERY helpfull strategies:

http://web.archive.org/web/20071231212747/http://www.zanypixel.com/blog/untapped-link-building-strategies/

Backlinks from commenting on blogs: http://www.mediafire.com/?idlymlrgqim
www.commentkahuna.com/
Use PrStorm

RSS Feed Directories - This ones for the bloggers and forum owners too, anything really with an RSS feed, even if you fake an RSS feed and randomize it, it can still work.
Here is a good list of places to submit your feeds or you can use those automated software like RSS Announcer or Submitter, Or Bloggergenerators free blog and ping tools, theres a ton out there.

Tagbox Linkdropping - Another like the Cbox is Tagbox it works the exact same way.
Powered by Tagbox

Contests - Contests are a good way of word of mouth or bloggers blogging about it, another good example is a giveaway for say the person who sends the most traffic to you, you can use a link trading script to check whos best or a referer script to see which person sends the most, this will bring links to you if you work it smartly.

Digging - Digging the same as any network like such brings an incredible amount of backlinks and gets the buzz around fast.
Digg Comments - Digg comments can get you a few links and the latest comment is always usually at the top. So its an idea maybe to post on the popular diggs.
+ Simply go to digg.com....go to pages that are older than 365 days guaranteed high page rank pages their...you can find some
in the newer sections of digg too...But go to pages older than 365 days....click on the comments of these stories and take
a look....Tell me what do you see...You will see high page rank pages....Most of them PR5 and up....Now all you do is
make a comment and post your url like this hxxp://www.yourdomainname.com and that's it...Your link is now on a
high page rank page for free.....Now just search around and keep looking you will find some pages that are really really
high page rank such as pr8, Pr7 and more....Usually you'll want to choose the ones with the most diggs because they will
usually have higher page rank...Now shhhh keep this quiet because too many people doing this will lose its effectiveness...

First go to digg.com
2nd go to pages 365 older
3rd post comment on high page rank pages with link in comment
4...repeat and repeat...

Oggix.com - heres another shoutbox type way of backlinks

Digitalpoint CO-Op Network - Another one that can work in some cases.
Digitalpoint developed a mass link exchange program called the DP Co-op Advertising Network (aff). After signing up, you then add 3-5 links on every one of your pages, and this earns you more linking power (coop weight). The more weight you have, the more links to your site you receive from other members in the coop. You can choose up to 15 anchor texts and there are over 30,000,000 available links in the network today. Sites have been using it to rank #1 for “Debt” “credit cards” “bankruptcy” and “loans.” Such a simple method is allowing them to outrank massive authority sites like Wikipedia, but the main concern is how long will this gravy train last and when will Google do something about it?

Google staff already know about the network, but have not yet done anything to prevent people from quickly ranking for popular terms. I just want to clarify that I would NOT recommend this technique to anyone that is going to be doing a long term link building campaign for their blogs, but I would recommend it for “made for adsense” sites, and even blackhat/greyhat temporary high profit earning sites.

Flickr Spamming - Flickr allows comments on photos taken by other people, now you can go wild and mass comment but i wouldnt recommend it, instead pick suitable pics about your niche and simply write a comment saying something smart like can i use this picture on my blog here, then drop your link, or go wild and do it anywhere.

Article Submission - If you have a product thats going to be released or a new site, its best to get the word around fast, using something like Article Equaliser or something that mass submits to a ton of article directories, this builds fast backlinks but sometimes takes time to get approved, and its best not using spammy type articles but interesting ones work better. And you'll find that a lot of other sites scrape article sites for there own content. Giving even more backlinks.

Using Software - You can also use software like Internet Business Promoter, I prefer version 8, because it scans the engines for you, and gets links using keywords, to semi-automatically fill link submission forms to niche related directories. It works well and although is a slow process works perfectly.

2 stumbles from my friends gets me more than 1k of visitors ;)

http://imhelendt.wordpress.com/2006/09/16/increasing-traffic-to-your-blog/

Get a backlink directly from BIG G
Go to google.com/notebook and check it out.
Go sign up for a notebook and write a note with your website URL in it. Then go to `Sharing Options` and make sure to check `Yes` under where it asks you if it should be published publicly or not. That's it. The link is gonna be a dofollow. It's gonna be a backlink from PR0, but a link from Google is a link from Google ;))
