    Start by trying to get some keywords in your page titles, page descriptions, H1 tags, and in the text of your pages. Right now the only thing you have in your page title is your brand name. Not too many people will be searching for your brand...until you get noticed. Think about other keywords people would use to search with. Get those words in your pages. Then start building links back to your pages with those same keywords. It takes some time, but you'll start getting organic traffic if you work at it a little every day.

    I agree the first step is do keyword research to determine keyword phrases you want to focus on. Then re-write your title and meta tags to be keyword rich.

    I don't think anyone has mentioned submitting to directories. The Yahoo Directory is $299 a year I believe and worth it. However, they must approve your submission or no go and you don't get your money back (they'll tell you what to change but read their terms and conditions).

    The trick is to submit using keywords and mix them up some.

    There are many people on Digital Point who offer services like this as well as article distribution services. These are important to build links and traffic to your site.

    Another way is to find blogs that are about the subject and leave comments with keywords and/or links back to your site. Just make sure you're adding value to the discussion or the blogger will hate you for spamming them.

    first of all, what is your site all about? Who are your target audience?
    So, you will know where you can advertise your site.
    Try Social Networking and Ad posting.

    Hi,

    You yourself answered the question. Organic traffic could only be obtained by organic promotion. Start with SEO which is purely organic promotion. As it is a natural process it would definately take time but would give robust results. :)

    Do the natural way of optimization..but as the gurus say..start optimizing your page first before going to off-page optimization.

    post to blogs(high PR)
    forums, social bookmarking..make some lens on squidoo....hubs, anything possible to improve your stats...Cheers:D
