Techniques for increasing traffic

Hello
Have you thought about techniques to increase your traffic? Have you thought about programs to keep track of your traffic and/or clicks, banners, text ads, emails?
I multi-task to increase my traffic. As I'm surfing my traffic sites, I multi-task by updating my data base. I also have two programs, one that tells my how many credits I have and one that keeps track of my data, the referral links, splash page links, banners, etc.
My data base is date last surfed and which traffic program has which programs assigned to it. I would guess that the technique sounds complex, it isn't. There is a small learning curve.
Prosperous surfing
