Hi all
I know this would have been covered a million times but how is the easiest and quickest way(s) to get traffic to your website?
I am new to this forum and thankyou in advance for any suggestions.
It must be noted that I need plain English as I am not technically minded at all.....

Hello Karen,
Social Bookmarking helps too!
You could use Onlywire or Social Marker.
Additionally, you might consider building a few Squidoo Lenses, and a Hub Page or two using your keyword phrase to link to your website.
I try to social bookmark the pages I comment on too.
If you help to increase the value of that particular page you are commenting on, one day that link to your site will be more valuable.
Have a nice night,
Victoria

Hello Karen and welcome to the forum.... getting traffic to your website is a lifelong learning process! But in plain english, there are so many ways to get traffic to your site that it would be overhwelming for you to start them all at once.
I would suggest picking something where you can connect with your readers in some way and at the same time share valuable information about what it is that you are promoting on your website...
I like to use free sites a lot but I did use some of my profits to then purchase the SBI package as it is one of the best ways that I know of to get traffic to a site.... and it basically is an education in a box on how the whole thing works as far as seo which is search engine optimization in plain english. 
Let us know what you DO know about online marketing as far as what you have done up to now.. like blogs, writing articles, Squidoo, social networking, which is what forums are basically... etc... so we can possibly help you more...

Essentially there are lot of ways. But free and instant traffic would come from forums and other community boards. Dont spam them but you could get a decent and targeted traffic from them.

Hi karen
Welcome to the forum, here and at other forums are are great way to get targeted traffic. Make informative and intelligent posts and you will be surprised at how many people will check out your site.
Top three ways for free traffic would have to be writing articles, making videos and social networking, always link back to your site and social bookmark all your articles and videos. As victoria said i recommend onlywire as well.
Another tip when starting make sure you know where your traffic is coming from if a source you are using is getting you no traffic move on to your next method you wish to try until you hit one on the head. Statcounter dot com or google analytics can help you put code on your website/blog to track your visitors.
