Well.. To get traffic to your web site, you will need to have enough back links to your site.

1. You need to make your web site more attractive
2. You need to find the good web directories related to your product and get link from them
3. Join some of the free page listing service like www.findmypages.com which will increase your chance to get list on major search engines.
4. Don't pay $$$ to any advertisement company before you know who your target customer are and where they are. Otherwise, you will be spending time compete with those big shop and wasting your $$$ on wrong target customers.

Good luck on your store.

Since Father's day is coming up, you could make up some gift baskets and find a radio station that is doing a give-away for Father's day, lots of them do. Donate the gift basket in return for your name being mentioned during their promotion. You can also donate them to schools and civic groups, any local cause that is having a fund-raiser to get some local recognition.

Link didn't work. Sorry.
But Google Adwords and Yahoo Marketing are cheap enough.

OK Cupcake you have been on this site one day and both your questions direct people to your web site - No that is not the way to get free advertising.

go to www.ListedFast.com and use the promotional $25 free advertising credit. You'll be listed #1 in search engines in a few hours and the traffic you will get is insane. We did this with our small business the other day and I think we have sold 10 times the amount of products than we ever had before. Just passing along the good info someone else on here gave us!

The following articles will help you:

The average Internet user spends less than 10 seconds to decide whether to stay on your site or not. Without really looking into your site, I would say this looks like a fishing site and I would not have known you were selling products had you not told us. Show products on your homepage if you want to be successful with this.

There are a number of different ways to market your site for free or for a low cost. You can find out more at the site below, but I would suggest working on your site a little more before wasting money on traffic that wont result in sales.
