    Hi, firstly, I recommend you browse around on the forums a bit. This question is asked on a DAILY basis. Here is a pretty basic list to get you started:

    • Press release
    • Banner / text link advertising
    • Link exchange
    • Directory submission
    • Article writing / distribution
    • Social bookmarking buttons
    • Myspace bulletins / group / profile
    • Facebook group

    If you have good content that will get repeat visitors, cpc like adwords works well. If you don't have good content, create some, or it's a waste of time. :)

    What sort of product or service or information are you supplying? If it's a product, I'd post an item or two on ebay and you might be surprised how much traffic you get from it.

    i'd second the Ebay traffic idea. Believe it or not it receives more searches per day than Google.

    I second the CPC post. Buy a few keywords - stay specific as they are cheaper and will likely drive more qualified traffic. Utilize content search as well (Adsense). My company gets excellent results through adsense.

    A good way to advertise your site is also to get emails sent to people interested in your niche.

    I'd encourage you make sure your site is fully functional before doing any promotion. I see a bunch of errors when browsing around the site. Fix that, then worry about marketing.

    As your website is about music, video etc, you must join some music forum and I think it is the most effective free advetising way.
