how to increase website traffic

[parthakolkata1]

I have two websites, one lists important dates and events from world history [ http://www.hisdates.com ] and the other is an online collection of popular jokes and quotes [ http://www.jokesplusquotes.com ].

I have submitted the site urls to major search engines and directories, but still unable to drive traffic to the sites.

Can anyone please suggest, how to increase the traffic to the sites.

Thanks in advance.

Submitting your sites to SEs and directories isn't enough to boost your traffic. You need to do more linkbuilding and site promotion techniques such as social bookmarking, forum posting, link exchange, etc.

^ yeah right! While I'm optimizing my websites in Google. I'm doing twitter, facebook and youtube for promotions. Because you really need to promote your websites to get a good traffic while waiting for a good rankings in Google.

If your site is still new, it won't get traffic immediately. You need to do optimization and one day it'll come up with good results.

I've recently launched my site :

www.justkrissi.com

I've been trying to register it on as many free business index sites as possible, i've posted tweets and created a facebook page. I've also started joining relevant forums and posting comments.

My site has been active for a couple of weeks but when I use some of the free seo tools out there to check the links to my site they still say 0. How long will it take for the links to start showing up?

Thanks
