Blogging
If you don't have a blog (or 'web log') yet, set one up. WordPress and Movable Type are excellent blog programs. Blogger (at http://www.Blogger.com) is the quickest to get started without struggling with technical issues. Get one set up right away. This will become one of your most powerful traffic driving methods, so don't delay it.
Customize your blog so it is optimized for your best keywords. Then post to your blog regularly, choosing the best keywords that describe your product or service or niche, and including them in each post. Do this on a consistent basis and you will be rewarded by a flood of fresh visitors to your website very soon.
Technorati
Technorati (http://www.Technorati.com) 'tags' are a system to categorize your blog content by associating it with relevant keywords matching the content of your blog. It is a powerful marketing tactic for your blog, bringing you inbound links from an authority site as well as some targeted traffic.
Paste these tags to the end of every blog post you make, and then let Technorati know you've updated it.
Social Bookmarking
Social bookmarking is all the rage today, because it brings a quick surge of website traffic. Go to ONLYWIRE - http://www.OnlyWire.com On the right side, you will see a series of bookmarking services. Register for accounts with each.
Then, drag the bookmarklet link to your web browser's status bar. This will make it easy to bookmark your blogs/sites at all these services.
When visitors to your blog find a post interesting, they too can bookmark your post to other social bookmarking sites, raising your blog's profile and attracting more visitors.
Squidoo

At the very least, try and work links to these sections into your lens:
- Your blog
- Your website
- the specific forum sub-pages where your posts are published
- Your social bookmark homepages
MySpace
Join the millions of netizens who flock to the largest social networking site on the Internet, MySpace.com. Open your own account at MySpace. But make it specific to your niche site and business. Brand it with your business or website name. Include links to your site everywhere you can - legally.
You could extend this further and create multiple profiles, targeting different keywords or sections of your site/business.
Digg

Then spread the word. Tell everyone about it. Make it easy for them to tell others. Let it get 'viral' and spread by word of mouth alone - reaching far beyond the reach of your own voice!

How can independent retailers compete with the big-box giants today? One phrase sums it up- Product is King. Selling products that are unique in nature, offering your customers a fair value for the prices you charge, and managing the inventory of these products so as to avoid costly end of season markdowns will do just the trick.Every retailer today knows the value of a dollar. The old phrase, cash is king has never been truer than with the independent retail community today. Paying attention to sales to assure that there's money in the bank to meet payroll and other expenses, or building cash reserves during high season to get you through the slow times is an art form that must be mastered in order to succeed in business today.

Trade shows as a key component of every industry, association, and professional meeting. Their importance cannot be over stated for the attendees, the sponsoring organization, and the exhibitors themselves.Trade show attendees have access to "what's new" in one place. They can check it out anonymously and with no obligation. If they aren't interested they can just walk away.The sponsoring organization sells space to the exhibitors, money it uses to reduce the attendee's fees and other costs.

It’s common knowledge that most small businesses fail within 5 years. These statistics are mindblowingly depressing for people looking to start up a new venture. So what goes wrong? No-one starts out with the intention of creating something that isn’t sustainable. In fact most people would be adamant that they weren’t going to be one of those statistics.Most business owners start out as technical expert in their field.
