Its simple. have a forum in it. when go to some classifieds and register it there. Every refresh in forum putting you more and more up in those kind of classifieds, and people are coming. Personally I registered my forum in my ethnic community classifieds. It gave me 800 active users there. And site is already on PR4.
Yaa this is also one way of getting traffic.
But the most important thing is that you should optimise your page first.
Then continuously add relevent contents frequently.
And have a lots of backlinks.
You can get a good search engine ranking by just optimising page and having a lots of backlinks.
You can add forums too.A better place will be add as a subdomain as
www.forums.yoursitename.com
.And adding blogs will be a great advantage to your site.You can have it as a subdomain as
www.blogs.yoursite.com
And if you will link your site properly then adding more pages can really help in increasing sites ranking.
Put a footer in that put all the important links like links to your main page, and all the important categories, links to blog, links to forum etc..
And if you are going to have a forum or a blog then don't miss to syndicate the contents.If you know about RSS otherwise see this post I think it will get you some basic knowledge about RSS.
