    make your site content rich. because selling sites don't have enough content and Google don't like them. So be very careful about this matter.
    market your site in forums. but the best is to increase its SERP.
    thanks

    Yeah, thanks, I think probably we'd need to add a blog related to bags to the site in order to make it more content rich.

    After optimising your site following the basic SEO principles, I suggest starting by trying to target your intended market. You can do this by joining in on the conversations on various fashion forums and blogs. Don't just go in and advertise your site, try to just talk and there may be an opportunity to tell people about your site later on.

    Targeting a less competitive niche could be a good way of getting some traffic to your site which may result in those people recommending you.

    Possibly try a competition to persuade people to share your site and interact with your brand.

    I think participating in the related forums and blogs would help, but not just advertise directly, right? :)

    I think people will just ignore you if you go straight on to advertise your site without providing anything for that community.

    I've found that you have to constantly change, update, and add new products. Also, i don't have one yet on my site, but i would add a blog to your site. That will help some definitely. Good Luck and be patient!

    Great looking site! Try adding more content to your site that target specific keywords so you can get some of your pages ranking for them. You can add a review section where you review one bag and show it in detail. Or maybe put up a On Sale section where you feature one bag that is offered at a lower rate. You'll have to consider PPC and other paid forms of advertising as this is one of the best ways to get your site promoted. You also need to promote your site through social networking sites. This is one way of getting direct traffic to your site.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    You could join other blogs in your niche selling blogs and leave comments, ensure that the comments adds value to the conversation or they might be removed, the more useful comments you add, and the more people see that you know what you are talking about, the more they will visit your site

    SEO n SMM are the good ways to promote any sites on search engine and target traffic should be concerned.
