    A well budgeted PPC campaign would help, you could also explore solo ads.

    if you wont like to spend money you have to work hard.

    few possible options:
    article marketing
    related blog post commenting
    create helper blogs
    related forum posts

    etc etc

    Go social. FB Fan page, twitter and then paid FB advertising. I think you will gain more with a targeted campaign there than with adsense. If you can invest into PPC on G you will reach many more with CPM on FB. Beside that you can go to Adbrite and target only selected sites where your demographics reside. I wouldn't spend much on search marketing at all. You want to poke people in groups on FB and create buzz on Twitter. Paid tweets and likes? This is the cheapest delight in the shop.

    Just go there and read their manuals. Nothing difficult and very intuitive. Start with small budgets to test and then scale. If you can run a campaign on adsense you can do this. Make sure your images are top notch so they stand out.

    Try Google AdSense. It's the most effective way to increase traffic. Sometimes when you create a new account they present you $100. Also create communities in social networks, post in article directories and bookmarks.
