The best way to promote your website would be to

1) SEO (Search Engine Optimization) your website. This will get you organic traffic from search engines and you will get more people that are actually interested in what you have to offer. Unique content is a variable in SEO, so remember that when writing articles! Also, backlinking (spreading links to your website) is a part of SEO. This helps with your search engine placement, so it will eventually be a must.

2) Use social networking programs like Digg.com (http://www.digg.com), StumbleUpon (http://www.stumbleupon.com), BlogEngage (http://www.blogengage.com), etc. They work out really well in the beginning for that first tiny jump in traffic. Till search engine traffic kicks in, I suggest you use this method aggresively.

3) Using PPC campaigns such as Google’s AdWord program (http://www.adwords.google.com). This might be costly, so you better offer users something useful so they’d want to come back!

4) Free promotion on sites like MySpace.com and Facebook.com. You don’t need to spam, but if you have a decent amount of friends, this would be a great way to just get the word out. Also, you can go on blogs and put up links on there. DON’T spam! Get on relevant blogs on post up comments. There’s usually an option that says "website," so you can get a link to your site.

5) Get involved with programs online. I started a website (http://www.fka200.com) from scratch and got a ton of visitors within the first hour. Why? Because I participate in a lot of forums. In forums, you can have something called a signature link and you can put up links/text on there to promote whatever you want. It’s a good way to get traffic in the beginning if you have a lot of posts at forums.

6) Article writing. Some people let others write articles and insert links to their websites within the article. I don’t really suggest this since it takes time.

There are other methods, but use what I suggested above and you should be fine. After you get used to maintaining the website and constantly adding new content, you end up getting user loyalty and those users might spread the word about your site. That’s where the site starts to get big.

Goodluck!

If you don’t know how to promote your website – and if you want to then check out my many previous answers that simply state it’s about the content (and the links) stupid – then how can you build a website about making money online. You don’t know how to do it, cos you don’t know how to promote your website. D’oh!
