Do you actively comment others’ blogs? To tell the truth, I read about 30-40 blogs I am subscribed to with my bloglines.com account, but I never had a thought that one could benefit from commenting others’ blogs with regards to traffic to your website.
Could you imagine that 2/3 of your website traffic can be referred to by your comments in the popular blogs? I feel impatient to test this technique. It takes time, but nowadays any marketing technique takes time. One has to spend the same amount of time on marketing your website as you spend on creating and developing it.
Have a look at the stats and I think you will be immediately tempted to rush to the popular industry blogs to write a few lines with a link to your website. I am not sure it will work with all types of sites (in fact, at the moment I am not sure if it works in general as I am just about to test it next weeks), but it looks promising.

Take your time to properly name your images as Google Images are a nice source of traffic – they would not send you the amount of traffic as if you did digg.com home page, but a nice free extra stream of visitors is always welcome in this competitive online world.
Here is a proof

Linkdumps are predecessors to social bookmarking websites. They are less interactive and not so community focused – it is a fact, but they also used to (and still do) generate many visitors who would share links to all kinds of online products subject to viral marketing effect.
No doubt, linkdumps are a valuable traffic generation technique – I do not talk now of the quality of that traffic. In my opinion any website needs traffic. When it gets it it can analyze what kind of traffic it gets and what kind of traffic it wants.
Linkdump is not probably a nice word, but it clearly states what it is (I wonder if we can apply the same word to the modern social bookmarking websites? They share some components with linkdumps – links and visitors. The only social website component web 1.0 linkdumps are missing – tags).
So, it is not a waste of time to add your link to the old and good linkdumps after you are through with social website list (I guess you add all your original content to social websites expecting a wonder – your content picked up, you get tons of traffic and attract tens of natural links).
List of linkdumps:

Another list of linkdumps is posted and rated here and here, but take your time to filter adult link dumps if you do not need them.
Summary: If you run a new website or you have viral content you should make use of these linkdumps. The only way to cash this sort of traffic properly – CPM (banner advertising). As a rule, linkdumps work just for one type of content – humor and entertainment. But if your website is not humorous it does not mean that you can’t find an angle and make fun in your niche.
