Do you want to go with organic or paid listing. If paid lisitng then google ppc, facebook and yahoo ppc are the best.

Meanwhile continue seo work. If the contents are interesting in your website/blog then use social media websites to increase traffic.

In my opinion, SEO is the best. First of all, you can do it for free. It is also your best chance of getting fresh visitors, meaning not other marketers that usually come from social media.

When it comes to increasing the traffic to your site, the best way to do is by having unique content. Content is king.
No matter how much you spend on SEO, advertising e.t.c, nothing bets the content. Content with good number of keywords will help you in driving the traffic to your site.
Along with content use the following methods to improve your traffic:
1:SEO: Have a consultant check your site, consultant will help in improving the traffic to your website by suggesting various method to optimize your site.
2:Titles, Descriptions, alternative text: For each page provide a Meta Title and Meta Description.Also, have alt text for all your images.
Note: though Titles, description and alt text come under SEO, I have give these details independently, in case you decide to do the dirty work yourself.
3: Social Media Network: Publish the latest updates of your site in facebook, twitter, orkut e.t.c
4: Publish your site articles in e article websites.
5: Have in bound likes for good quality sites.
Hope this helps you and best of luck !!

Marketing your Website using Directories and Website Links

The next step is to get links to your website. This is one of the most important things that you can do to help your website with regard to internet marketing and search engine results. To do this you will need to list your website on as many websites and directories as possible. Directories operate in one of 3 ways: Paid Listing Directory, Free and Reciprocal Link Directories.

Paid Listing Directory: for a listing fee your website is listed, often these are higher quality directories as only serious website owners and business's will pay to be listed. These are usually the fastest way to get listed and get links to your website, as the paid listing directories are run as a business. There are niche/specialist and general directories.

Free Directories: it can take a long time to get your website listed. As the service is free, there may be little or no control of the quality of websites being listed.

DMOZ is the most important free directory, it can take quite some time to get listed, but worth the effort, follow submission guidelines very carefully.
