    Submitting to thousands of directories will secure you pr and better search engine rankings as well.

    Here's the infamous 5000+ directory list that everyone goes crazy about.

    It seems to be centered around Louisiana, so I'd do a search for websites specializing in Louisiana content, such as blogs, and real estate sites.

    If you're trying to expand to nationwide, then you may want to reorganize the layout.

    Maybe special discounts or free listings for to attract sellers. Then start advertising via Yahoo and Google to attract buyers. If it is localized to Louisiana, then do the ads for just your state.

    Do some SEO for traffic and try to get top search results in google since you have a top searched keyword in your domain name. :)

    You shoud use PPC advertising, writing articles/blogs with signature. Posts forums with signature and use RSS feed.

    Here are a few things you can do to really boost your traffic:
    - SEO
    - PPC
    - Forum sig
    - blog
    - Social bookmarking sites (use digg for short term traffic like about a day or two and use stumble upon for long term traffic)
    - Try and crack JV deals (if at all this applies coz i do not know what kind of website you have got)
    - Affiliates (Again if it applies)
    - Blogrush (This is John Reese's new widget it brings free traffic to your blog)
    - Submit articles to several article directories (this might help you a bit with your seo too)

    These are somethings to begin with then you can test and track and decide which ones work better for you and continue with them and chuck the rest.
