Search engines are still the big source of free traffic, unfortunately the top to sites in the search results get 90% of all search traffic (for a given search). Creating social site pages, like a Facebook business page and getting links from them are one measure to get visitors as well as improved search ranking.

Getting links from education and book related sites and articles would be a search rank plus, this tool helps you find blog pages and forums where you might leave a link along with a meaningful, useful comment. http://dropmylink.com/

Is the site hosted on your own domain? List it on Google. Send mailers to potential customers. Its confusing cause every site needs a different approach and you havent mentioned your site's link. If you like, send me the link on zubin@zubinkapadia.com and then I can suggest you what to do.

Dont worry! I wont charge you anything.

well at first place good and happy that you did for the student ... i would like to know few things from you... where are you from? and you developed website for various books which people are searching and they do not get ? or you build this website for second sell of books? you can put it on Facebook and many other social networking sites at first tell your friends to check whether site is working properly or no? if it is working spread it viral as you might be in college so that people would visit and keep updating their knowledge and then you can do is spread on social networking sites.

For something like this, my suggestion is that you could...
- talk to the webmasters of your school/institution's website to link to your website.
- see if you can your site mention in your yearbook.
- put it up on your social network page, and get all your contacts to spread the word (especially to other schools/institutions.

If your looking for super cheap website traffic then you can try a service like RoboHits. Otherwise, SEO and PPC are the way to go. SEO takes quite a bit of time and money if outsourced and PPC can cost a pretty penny.
