If you create an account for your website on social networking sites and use them to interact with potential visitors then your site will get more hits.

Get links from the ‘useful links’ sections of websites or better still from pages of content which are relevant to your own website. You can also get links from lots of other types of websites link online directories, suppliers, online news sites, blogs, forums, trade associations and many more.
Get more hits from email marketing
If you have a list of email addresses for your contacts like previous enquiries or customers then you are allowed to email them about your business as long as they not previously opted out of receiving emails from and as long as each email you send gives recipients another opportunity to opt out from future emails. Include a link to your website in your emails to get more hits.
Get more hits from PR
