    If you don't want to pay then SEO is your only option. Read up on it. And start promoting.

    Try writing an interesting article, interesting enough to get frontpaged on Digg, that'll get you some traffic and backlinks for the time being.

    You should write press releases that create news about your celebrity gossip site. It is a powerful method to drive traffic and I think this method is perfect for your niche.

    1. Submit your site to authority web directories..the smaller ones too if you have time.

    2. Link exchange with other celebrity/gossip sites. I have a few...PM if you want to exchange. Go to the link exchange forum here on DP.

    3. Submit your celebrity news articles to article directories (pick only good, well written ones).

    4. Submit to TOP 10 sources type sites that allow celebrity news.

    5. Submit your RSS feed to feed directories if you have rss.

    6. Add comments to celebrity gossip sites...only leave relevant comments...no spam!

    7. Submit site to as many social bookmark sites as possible. Get other people to bookmark your site as well. This is one of the best ways to get traffic to your site...hands down!

    8. Create a squidoo lens and exchange lens ratings with other members.

    Continue to work on SEO and keep track of how people find your site on the major search engines. Then go from there...

    A press release is a written communication made for the purpose of announcing something claimed as having news value. You're just announcing your site to the world, basically.

    Sandy gave you the answer, but make sure you read the rules and learn how to write a PR, because your PR couldn't be accepted. It has to create news and it is better if you do not use I, you, we etc.

    I'd suggest this:

    1. Optimize your site so it's SE friendly
    2. Write at least 10 posts before submittting it the directories
    3. http://www.stumblexchange.com/ - quick traffic
    4. Use feedburner.com (for RSS subscription, email subscribtion - you want returning visitors)
    5. Try this: http://www.bluehatseo.com/quit-quick-indexing-tool/
    6. Add your site to these social bookmarking sites: http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/social-bookmarking.html
    7. Submit to directories

    How about that for a first post eh'? :)

    ^As above.

    I got a celebrity related site. Social bookmarking is good in the sense it gets your traffic, but I would only really suggest it if you have something really interesting and hot.

    I average about 50 hits per day with a nice CTR of around 5%. Last week I did a few stumble exchanges and saw 500 visits that day, but not a single click.

    Using the method listed above, submitting to lipstick.com, got me 100 visits for just one post.
