    There is a lot of ways how to get more traffic to your site. You can find many useful advices on this forum. For the beginning remove links from navigation bar that leads nowhere, than submit it to search engines and directories.

    The "parts", "downloads", and "online jobs" links are dead.

    The "reviews" link takes you to a page with a completely different design.

    To get more traffic, you will need to build more content -- A LOT MORE CONTENT.

    FOA make links live and maintain looks in at least top 3 browsers. :)
    and then about traffic do following
    !) Make it search engine friendly
    @) Submit it to top 15-20 directories
    #) Introduce your website in you niche forums
    $) Exchange links with good websites
    %) Buy links with two thing in mind I) Traffic II) PR
    remember traffic is more important than PR consideration.
    ^) If you have budget then try adwords.

    :)

    Brush up on your html and make your site functional before even thinking about traffic.

    Alot of the Website Designers I know usually keep every Browser installed on their machines and take a look at the sites they design in each one of them to insure they look correct... Of course *Cleaning Out Your Cache & Exiting The Browser Once in Awhile* helps alot after working on a site for awhile, I know it did me when I was getting things that looked okay on my machine until I published them... :D

    You do need to get your site in better shape first off....as has been mentioned.

    I would suggest you look at creating more "white space" around your text. You want to make sure a site isn't hard on the eyes, people lose focus easily. By creating more white space you'll give "eyes" a rest.

    In terms of traffic generation, what have you been trying to do so far? I think it'll be easier to respond if we know what you've tried.

    Take Care!

    I would not worry about submitting your site to Google Maps.

    Build a nice web site and get some inbound links -- Google will find you.

    As Will said above if you build some inbound links Google will find you quickly.

    The best way of building inbound links is through good content.

    Try to concentrate on fixing your site up before worrying about Google as the people who will find your site won't be able to make use of it in it's current state and you only serve to tarnish your reputation.
