Hamza, depending on your website's subject, go to Facebook
and join different groups and like different pages that are related to your
website's subject or niche.

Create a page of your own and install an optin form using FBML.
(Lookup YouTube videos that can show you- that is how I learned about it.)

Then start to friend the members of the groups & pages you joined. No
more than 30/day. Facebook will hurt you if you do more.

When they accept you as a friend, send each of them a message and
invite them to your page. When they come to it, they'll be sent immediately
to your optin form, where they can give their name and email to join not only
your group, but also your mailing list!

When you reach the maximum 5,000 friends, create another Facebook id
and start over, joining different groups in the same niche, friending different friends,
etc. Do the same thing again!

Cool strategy, huh?
And that's just Facebook.

May you become extremely successful in your endeavors, Hamza!

It is best you will use the popular social media sites today. You can also apply the SEO strategies to increase traffic to your site.

[Brad]

theres different methods that can be used to drive traffic to your site:

Twitter Marketing
Forum marketing
Social Media Marketing
Emailing everyone you know and asking them to promote your site to other people (don’t be afraid to ask!)

Posting links to your site in relevant forums and comment threads which might be frequented by people who are interested in joining your site

- Approaching other bloggers directly (via their contact forms)

And if you’re after new readers:

- Be sure to promote your posts far and wide (forums, comment threads, email and more)! And make sure that you are focusing on people who are likely to share your content with others (established bloggers or Twitter users, for example)

My suggestion to you is to be consistent with your brand message and engage in meaningful interaction with people. Fix your product first.. then, the marketing will flow seamless. A lot makes the mistake of trying all those shady SEO practices that may get them instant results ( or instant gratification ) which will cost them dearly after ( as in, getting banned from Google ). Unless you are a top brand or a celebrity, you need to build your reputation from scratch by being - Real. Good Luck!

I would suggest you to engage with people in various social networks (Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc), make a brand for yourself and then promote your site following the 80-20 rule.

80% of the time you will need to be genuine and not selling things. 20% you can use it for Marketing.

If you dont have much free time, you can take help of Social Media Marketing tools like Simplify360, Radian6 or Hootsuite. All tools have their own advantages and they differ a lot in price. You will have to find the right tool that serves your purpose.
