    Advertise on high traffic site,
    but keep in mind, your advertise must be placed on the right website.
    you won't place soccer ad on the classic music site, will you?
    you must place it on site that visited by your targeted people.

    Advertise on big forum is also good, your ad will be looked by lot of people who are interested on same things.
    advertise on many websites also good

    good luck :)

    You are going to get an assortment of answers to this question. The first thing you need to know is that advertising works in a different way for everyone. The same tactics and methods can not be implemented for everyone. This said, you have to remember there are free methods and paying advertising methods. The free techniques can be associated with SEO tactics. The ones that build you links and help promote your site are considered part of the Off-Page SEO techniques. These involve forum posting, blog commenting, social bookmarking and article writing and distributing among others.

    Among the paying tactics are banner advertising, link placement, ppc, and email marketing which includes solo ads, contact solo ads, ezines and newsletters.

    I suggest you first optimize your site with both On-page and off-page SEO and then do a trial and error marketing campaign. Test the waters and determine what is best for you and your business.

    It depends on what type of your site and the goal of your site. just need traffic or sell something. If you just need traffic using adgitize and entrecard is good idea. but if you want sell something, google ads is the best way.

    Where are your competitors advertising? That's a hint. The online world is so vast that if there are no competitors, there may be no buyers.
    Without knowing your site genre we can only generalize advice. Need some specifics. Not to be silly, but if your site is a micro niche with a tool for left handed blond peanut shellers...you might find that audience difficult to reach.

    On the other hand, if your site genre appeals to a mass, then you might start with ContentArticleWriter's comments above.

    Just be careful with google PPC as its expensive and can run away with you!!! If PPC is what you're looking at try the other search engines as I find they are cheaper.

    You can go for PayPerClick Traffic such as Adwords, MSN Adcenter, YSM.
    also use social media optimization techniques such as social bookmarking, Article Submission,Blogging etc.. as these are really helpful in generating huge amount of traffic from social networking sites such as Digg,delicious,Facebook,Twitter,Google Buzz,MySpace......

    Roxy,
    Couched within all of these good suggestions is another strategy you may want consider. That is local marketing.
    Does you business have a physical presence or do customers come to you in town? If so, make sure you take advantage of Google's Local Business Center. Go there, set up a profile and add content as keywords, photos, videos. Encourage your customers to write a review of your business.

    You can also search the threads in this forum and other Google sub-forum on Digital Point for more info on the Google Local Business Center.

    Go to youtube and look up the channel for Tiger Direct. Tiger direct is a computer parts reseller. On their youtube channel they have video reviews on hundreds of products that they sale.

    While your on youtube, take a look at the national geographic channel - they have some really cool videos.

    Most of those big companies have tapped into large sites like youtube to get traffic. There is no reason you can not do it as well.
