Let's tray to answer a few questions..
It has got many faces the most common is the birth of community websites, where thousand of people gather and share their content. Other members visit your content and may comment on it. Depending upon the quality of your content, you will receive votes from other members and you will receive enough traffic that can ever crash your server.
The content comes mostly in 4 types. Text articles/blog posts, audio recordings, photos/images, videos.
Depending upon the type of content produced there are hundreds of websites people visit everyday. Some of the major ones are Digg.com (articles), YouTube.com (Videos), Flickr.com (Photos) If you think you have a certain flair in producing any of the above mentioned types of content, then you can greatly benefit from the traffic they already receive. With a little creativity you can get a share of the traffic they receive and make profit from it.
To start with stick with only one type of content. For example if you are good at photography. Make periodic visits to Flick.com see what others are viewing. Also see what gets viewed most often. There are thousands of categories like architecture, vehicles, nature, humans etc. Keep a record of everything you noticed in your research. Depending upon your results you can produce content (or get it created from someone else for a fee) and share it on Flickr.com for an instant surge of free traffic to your online business.
In this same way you can try playing with other forms of content and easily generate traffic to your dead website in a few hours with little creativity.
