    I aim to get 1,000 unique visitors per day to my web site www.khuntin.com but i really have no idea how to do that.

    Now I got ~50 unique visits per day from:
    1. Forums posting - visitors from this tend to buy stuffs but it's hard to find forums where you allow to post link to store website
    2. Purchased banner ads - haven't got any sales from this
    3. Google adwords - haven't got any sales from this
    4. SEO - only got few clicks but 50% of them does buy a product

    Any ideas on what I should do to get more traffics to my site?

    Forum marketing isn't about posting a link and expecting people will buy, search for those sites where you can search what people are talking about in forums(sorry, i can't remember the url for this, it's some sort of a forums search engine), find posts or thread for people that are talking about the items you sell and recommend them your site.

    They won't see it as spam, but as a good help.

    expand or scale your keywords / keyphrases used with Google Adwords. Build more pages for your expanded keywords, optimize (SEO) to acquire top 5 listings for each keyword / key phrase. Write articles about your sites services and post on article site, use web 2.0 site to bookmark your articles. Create videos showing your sites services upload to video sharing sites, book mark all url's.

    This should kepe you busy for bit :)

    Lots of letters, but here is my general strategy.

    SEO
    As far as we talk about e-commerce, it would be silly to avoid new potential visitors via search engines. Currently you have to make a small research on the search phrases and to optimize titles and keywords in accordance. At the same time you will find the anchors for needed links. And don't forget to write interesting articles - they must also be SE-optimized.

    Context advertising
    Such an instrument as AdWords is quite good to reach your target audience. Though you haven't reached good results from this, it is worth at least to be reanalyzed. Ads may be absolutely ineffective, when your ads-campaign is poor.

    Partnership program
    Well, having some resources or lucky ideas you could arrange bonuses for resellers or sales %.

    Advertisement in media
    We count this to be banners, news, PR-articles, mass-media advertisement, off-line actions (f.e. business-cards). Don't forget about press-releases - you will find many of them with free-of-charge publication.

    Marketing events
    This I hope is understandable: promo-actions, discounts, gifts to your new clients.

    Corporate support blog
    Why not? Just some light technical overviews, manuals, Q&A. Thus you get not only the target support, but another website as well, which is able to gather some traffic from search engines etc.

    Virus marketing
    This is not the best way for e-store, but having a talented and rich creative idea you could realize a real boooom. Using this tool must NOT be aggressive - just some funny flash movies or spreading some funny sensations.

    E-mail marketing
    Well, of course this is a tool. But you have to be extremely smart with that. Because otherwise the result will be absolutely opposite - people must see an attractive business idea, but not spam.
