If you want traffic from search engines then you should optimize your site for search engines with good lengthy and quality content.

You should target specific keywords and build a page separately for each keyword rank for them. As you build a webpage for each keyword your traffic increases.

Or you can use twitter or facebook to drive traffic to your website by gaining more followers and friends you can tell them about your website and they will visit your site.

Hi Atif,
Ideally you’re going to need a great number of backlinks from a different variety of high PR sites, such as
• Article directories
• Web 2.0 sites
• Social bookmarking sites
• Video sharing sites
• RSS Sites
• Forum Profile Sites
Write articles and include your blog link in the author box. Distribute them to article directories, starting from ezinearticles.com. You can use isnare.com to distribute them to hundreds of directories.
Start creating promo videos (check out Animoto, their service is fun and easy to use), and add your (hopefully) keyword rich link in the description of the video. Distribute the videos to different video sites (Youtube, Metacafe etc.). You can use TubeMogul to distribute your videos. Add descriptive one word tags.
Utilize social media: create a Facebook page and a new Twitter account. And always share your posts on your FB page and tweet about it regularly – at least twice a day. Invite new friends on Facebook – no more than 20 per day – and invite them to like your Page. This way search engines will notice your presence there. You can create targeted FB ads too.

Again, be yourself, do not try to sell in these places simply allow others to seek you out.

8. Offline Advertising

You have some great answers here! Just do not make it more complicated,
First make sure your website is SEO friendly, you will hear a lot of opinions on this because google changes thier rules almost daily. You want to be very careful on the tactics you use because you will hear a lot of promises to get you on page 1 overnite. Google will "sandbox" your site and all your investment will go down the tubes! Stay away from these "blackhat" tactics! It is not worth it.
