I have a website on China news, each day has 400 Ip only, i tried many ways to promote it, like forum, facebook, videos, blogs etc, didn't have good result. some one may have some good other ideas? btw, my site is: http://www.chinahourly.com
Your site design is a little too plain, it looks like a domain parking page. Looking at your Google Analytics will give you a better idea of why people aren't visiting. What is your bounce rate? Are people visiting then leaving quickly? If so, your promotion method is working but people think your site is boring.
May be, don't try to have every piece of information on the home page. Just put 3 or 4 news in one section. Don't forget that people online are scared of sites where is tons of letters.
Blog commenting on other popular new sites or blog. But yeah it's too wordy.. you need to sub category and put some of those texts away.
try to post your links on social bookmarking sites this can boost your post and can get number of hits by digg and similar sites...

Outsource SEO, some of these companies that do this are ranked pretty high if you google them I would trust them.
Iam agree with this suggest.. I think too many information you give on homepage.. You can decrease it, and make people curious to open the other page..
The site needs to be redesigned (Better design = more traffic), submit articles about your site to articlebase.com and ezinearticles.com submit press releases use social networking to advertise more. There is lots of ways you can build traffic dont forget about backlinks those are the most important!
First of all your design need to changed and you need a lot of seo work for your website plus original content as it looks like most of the content is copied.
