What sort of website? What kind of traffic? Are you looking for a conversion of some sort?
There are many things that can be done to the website itself via metatag manipulation, search engine submissions, adsense/adwords, and of course SEO (search engine optimization) the list goes on and on for ways.
These are things that you need to pay for right? I am so stupid when it comes to this. lol

This might sound a bit naive, but I got "Search Engine Optimization for Dummies" out of my public library and learned a LOT. Definitely ranking well in Google is key, that's how you can get piles of traffic. There's a lot to learn about SEO, especially as Google's algorithm is constantly changing. I recommend hanging out at http//forums.digitalpoint.com as there are a lot of knowledgeable people there. Also http//www.seomoz.org/

seomoz is by far an industry leader in SEO. Many hosting providers offer search engine submission as well, which helps speed up the crawling process. I always use 1 & 1 for my web site hosting and they have an awesome SEO Simple Submission tool!
I have a lot of learning to do...

While I agree with just about nothing KnightTrader posts at his libertarian forum, that site is a good example of a successful site in that it has original content, which is highly spiderable, and that the site fills a niche. KnightTrader is knowledgeable, and writes a lot about a topic he's interested in, which draws in readers, and traffic.
