These are not a list of resources, but rather some overall general tips for getting traffic.
1) Use propper SEO... Even in the world of web 2.0, search engines still have a good use. Your site should be propperly optimized for the search engines. That means using the H1 tags and H2 tags properly, including your keyword in them

4) Seek for high traffic areas to get exposure. -When you do post your links, start with the highest traffic sites, and you can work your way down. If you can't post your clickable links with the right anchor text at these sites, you should still be looking at ways to get exposure to your site. Maybe you post a $1 aucition to get in ebay, and that ebook will bring users to your site, and you can also give them "master resell rights" to it so they can share it with their friends, or try to sell it for a profit. Maybe you can just type in your site.com or yoursite DOT COM if the sites allow comments, but not HTML, or if they don't allow websites to be posted,aand typing in ".com" will get you banned, or won't allow you to post.. or if you can post a video, but not a link, you can create a video that has your website URL clearly displayed. To find the high traffic sitesstart with alexa.com and search the top 500, starting with 1 and working your way down.
Also, Associate with sites that are associated with high ranking sites. while you can't get into google, you can try to get into google news, you can get into blogger.com and google video and youtube.com, all owned by google. You might not be able to directly post to yahoo, but you can post to yahoo answers, and yahoo 360 blog. MSN has Q+a and it has MSN video, and windows live links that you can use.You can usually be creative with this, and use google page creator and create google pages and have it link to your site.
5)Interact with people, while building links. -Currently forums are a great method to getting backlinks, but it's also a potential good source of traffic. Simply find the popular forums related to your niche and create a signature with your link and anchor text (if allowed). Post answers to people'squestions, build your reputation with the comunity, and solve people's probablems by sending them to your site without doing it directly. Social networks this can work in too, and more recently, video sites. With Video sites, you might have them check out your video, while you check out theirs.
6)Web 2.0 use it! - Keep up with the modern web sites, know what people are using and adapt. Send your site to social bookmarking sites, and catch on to the new trends. Wikipedia your site, review it, add it, digg it, furl it, youtube a video, stumble it, text link it, chat room, video, NETWORK.... build up friends in every online community you can, and build up links in every spot you can.
7)Integrate web 2.0 on your websites, add blogs and use web 2.0 features there. add buttons for people to "digg" you with.
Bonus: 8)Add widgets, buttons, rsss, etc - keeping up with the modern techniques and websites, and terms and methods on your own is good, but making it easy for your viewers and readers of your website and/or blog are even better.If your visitors can add your feed to "my yahoo", or subscribe to your podcast through itunes, or "digg" your site, it's great, but not everyone knows how. Your links should not just be up for everyone that knows how, but for those that don't know how, but are interested. Link them to articles that teach others how, even if your site doesn'thave the article. Redirecting them to another page, especially a competitor may not seem like a good idea, but if you reccomend it, your readers will associate that content with you, as if you were the one that wrote it. In addition, it's not uncommon for people to link to sites that are linking to them. In a way, if they link to you, and they see you link abck to them, it boosts your competitor's creditbility, and some visitors from his site might come back to his afterwards. But if he links to you, you get the same benefit, because your viewers will notice him linking to you, and it will establish your reputation. For the most part though, just providing your viewers and readers with the information they need, even if you didn't make the information, will boost your credibility and relationship with the viewer, and it will probably make him want to come back,. In addition, you are more likely to get more "diggs" if your viewers know what a "digg" is, and how they can use it!
Bonus: 9) Combine methods together - There are certain methods like traffic exchanges which work very ineffectively independently, but when added with the power of article marketing and social bookmarking, along with a few secrets from all of them, or just one, they can actually work to compound your traffic. Every couple visitor you get will lead to another visitor, or if you really impliment all of these well, every 1 visitor will elad to another visitor, or every 1 will lead to 2, which will in turn lead to a few more.Add "digg it" buttons to all of your articles on your website, then use those articles to promote your other articles, then add links to the articels to boost those articles search engine ranking, then add additional social bookmarking. The result is people searching, finding your article, following through to your other article, digging your article, and stumbleing your article. Then with your Digg ranking higher, it will boost your traffic slightly, and those users will "furl" your article, and subscribe to your xml feed, and later come back and subscribe to your podcast. Now your stumble ranking will increase and you'll get more views that way. Then people will sign up for your newsletter and come back, and then they might "refer a friend" who might do the same thing. And if you integrate traffic exchagne secrets, you can use those to get more traffic, which will cycle through and get you more, and your articles will be able to drive traffic to those "secret methods" and then you can set your traffic on autopilot!
