Website traffic. You can't live without it and can't get enough of it. Every blogger and webmaster would love to get more traffic to her website. The more traffic you drive to your website, the more attention your work gets, and the more money you can earn from it.

A lot of people assume that the only way to drive traffic to a website is through online activities. Sure, you can drive a lot of traffic via search engines and online advertising, but you should never ignore the underrated goldmine that is offline traffic.

You can drive lots of traffic through offline activities. It's more than just branding. It's getting your name in front of people and make them want to come check your website.

Here are a few ways you can drive traffic to your blog through offline activities:

• Business Cards: if you do a lot of networking, you should take time to design a business card that includes all the information that people can use to contact you.
• Post Cards: whether you are a consultant or a marketer, you've got to make sure you protect your relationships by showing your partners how much you appreciate their business. What a better way to show them just that than sending them post cards.
• Pens: put your website on pens and give those away. Who doesn't like free stuff.
• Hats: same as with pens. Don't forget to put your brands on it in a readable way.
• T-shirts: t-shirts are great for branding purposes. Think of something catchy or witty.
• Car Door Magnets: if you drive a lot, you can't afford to miss this opportunity. Put one of these magnets on your car, and people will keep checking your site out whether you want to or not.
• Notepads: it always pays to have your branded notebook. When you grab a page and give it to someone, you've got to make sure all your contact information is on it. Who knows where your pages end up.
• Flyers: using flyers may sound like an old technique but they still work. Especially, if you know your target audience and target them properly with flyers.
• Lawn Signs: you can display your information on a lawn sign and give it to your friends and family members. Who knows who passes your lawn by and grabs your information.
