There are many ways of getting traffic to your website such as with search engines, social network websites and telling friends. The best way that I have found besides search engines of getting traffic to your website is by submitting your tutorials to tutorial submission websites.

There are tutorial websites that allow for submission of specific tutorials such as only PHP or Photoshop tutorials and there are websites that allow you to submit a lot of different types of tutorials to that website.

CodeBounce is one of the tutorial submission websites that allow you to submit a range of different tutorials. Its system is somewhat similar to that of Digg's. CodeBounce is a great website and is easy to get to grips with. They allow for the submission of ASP.NET, PHP, CSS, Photoshop, WordPress, Graphic Design, Web Design and Java.
