    Relevant back links will increase organic traffic. PPC ads could also increase traffic. Also, consider something like StumbleUpon for a quick boost

    1. http://www.thelist.fm/marketing-advertising.shtml

    2. Increase your inventory. Until then, you may want to consider taking down the number of items displayed you have there now. It looks like you don't have much, even though that is the case. But why show it up front?

    3. Find some nice pictures of people, or a couple wearing each piece of the jewelry.

    4. Can you offer a small gift with each order??? Like a gift box for the jewelry?

    5. Offer a discount if they order a certain amount?

    6. On the earrings, you have as the description: "This is an amazing Silver and Pearl Earrings made by highly skilled handicrafts from Nepal. Pearls are known as one of the seven precious substances and a wish fulfilling gem."

    Can you tell a wee bit more about all of the jewelrys' history, as a selling point?

    I would strongly suggest you find another site on your niche and exchange your links. Also try offering special offers for affiliates (such as get 20 % per sale) then your affiliate will have the work to do for you

    My opinion ...

    Submit to as many social bookmarking sites. The traffic might die off in a few days but you have exposed your site to thousands people and hopefully get some backlinks in the process as well.

    Exchange or trade traffic (not just links) with related sites. Use a traffic trading script. I'm going to be testing this acclaimed method with my new sites. Used mainly in Adult website marketing.

    Nice site by the way. Easy to navigate. My late mother used to love amber. She came from Lithuania and bought more amber jewellry when she visited her home country again in the mid 90's. Seems to be a popular item there. :)

    Try stumble, get more text on your website, you need as many content pages as possible, and try PPC.

    Three advices from someone that also owns a online shopping websites:
    - Forums
    - Discounts
    - Offers

    Until you website become known you must "spend" some money by giving discounts or offers to your visitors. Once they realize that you can be trusted they will start buying.

    The comments you received seem right.
    I would also try to figure out who's your potential/requested client and adapt the site and design for them.
    If the costumer is young, the text can be small and not necessarily clear, but for older costumers it is better to increase the size.

    I would add a "add to cart" buttons at the "/collections" menus as well.
    Lets say someone already visited your site and watched details, the second time he will arrive to purchase, you can make it easier for him.

    The color seems ok, but I'm not sure it's the right color for sales. I would try warmer colors, especially when talking about energies. Orange for example is a good color which calls for an action.

    Besides that, as mentioned, because the site is an online store, PPC seems to be a good way to bring traffic and you can get control over it.

    And good luck, I like these jeweleries :)

    Join http://www.linkreferral.com you get some traffic from there, not so much, but best part of that site is that people will review your site. So you can read what is good and what could be better on your site.

    I would add some content or pictures and promote it on social bookmarking sites.
