To increase traffic, get a whole bunch of people to visit.

1. posting your URL would have given you a bit of a spike.
2. if your site has been designed properly in the first place theres
very little you need do except tweak.
3. http://spiderfood.net/

4. advertise in "traditional" areas (papers/magazines/etc)
5. chant the following for 2hrs/day "a business model that relies on
solely on search engine positioning/traffic is not only stupid it will
fail"

But I thought you said that marketing was dumb? Which is it?

Include the URL on every piece of paper that leaves the business:
letterhead, invoices, purchase orders, etc. Also, make sure you have
enough business cards printed with the URL to hand to everyone you
see.

What's the URL?
"I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person."

Its actually pretty basic: get your URL out there
To accomplish this you can do a couple of things:
1) Submit your site to search engines (and optimize your site so it is found
high in the rankings for your search terms)
2) Participate in usenet discussions (especially for groups relating to your
product) and always include your URL in your signature. Don't spam or just
make random posts, people will only complain or send in abuse reports to
your ISP.
3) Same as #2, but find forums and similar on websites that relate to what
you are selling (ie: if you are selling home appliances then you could
participate in recipe discussion groups... people need blenders and toaster
ovens to cook the stuff up)
4) Most big grocery stores have a community bulliten board you can post to
(usually they give you 1 week), so you can put up cards there or a 1 page ad
with pull off strips.
5) If you go out doling out business cards for anything, include the URL on
the card as well
6) Contact sites that are related to what you sell (but don't sell the same
things as you) and ask about doing a link exchange or how much it would cost
to advertise on their site
7) Advertise in newspapers and buy&sell type classifieds. If its too
expensive to advertise in the big local paper, check out your smaller
community papers or even papers from smaller cities around north america
(most have websites that list their advertising rates)... since you are
selling over the internet you don't have to be limited to only your city for
advertising
