Directories – When you find a directory add your site, this will help you gain Page Rank.

Good SEO – S earch E ngine O ptimising is relatively important, here are some basic’s;
Use Meta tags (There are many Meta tag generators online, do a little search on Google and see what you get).
Instead of pixels use %, if you do this more people will be able to see your website the way you do.
Use robots.txt’s I’m very new at this but I’m sure some searches on Google could explain better then I can.
Make a XML sitemap, and then submit it to Google, this helps Google index your site faster.

Top sites list – Join these; vote a bit and get high in the list then you should get some traffic and some Page Rank.

Chat Rooms – Going in to a chat room and having a chat then saying ‘Want to see my website’ can get you some traffic, but it’s really one good for small personal websites.

Word of Mouth – Tell your friends or people your website, give them a little information about it, if they like it they tell there friends.

Writing Articles – Write some articles and add a link at the bottom to your site, simple yet effective.

Affiliating – Try affiliating, you get some good Page Rank, and traffic some other websites.

Writing Scripts – Writing a simple JavaScript or PHP could not only make you some money, but if you post them for free on the web and make it linkware or even freeware, then submit it to the web with the author as your website.

I think that covers everything, I hope this helps you get enough traffic to keep your website alive and kicking.
