IMO, free promotion techniques are very effective. Done properly and consistently, it will bring in traffic to your site.

But what draws the line is getting TARGETED TRAFFIC. It is a bit harder to get these traffic through the free methods. There are several niches that are very hard to market. If I were to advertise a site with a budget, I would always opt for Pay-Per-Click(PPC) as this would yield the proper traffic. Another great way of getting traffic for me is through buying (Targetted) link backs. A combination of these two ways IMO will bring in traffic that would most likely convert rather than just drawing random traffic.

SEO should also be done religiously as this is best for the long run

4.Simple desing can help your customer to easily navigate through your website. Can easily find products they want.
5.Submit every web page, not only home page. Be sure it is manual submission. Avoid automated submission.
6.Keep track of search engine algorithm changes and processes, so that you will be able to modify your web page correctly according to latest techniques.
7. Use online tools to keep track of how your website is doing.
8.Monitor your competitors and the top ranked websites to see what they are doing right in the way of design, navigation, content, keywords etc.
9. Use reports and logs from your website hosting company to see from where you are getting traffic.
10.Create newsletters, free reports, discounts etc to get attention by customers easily.
11.Write and submit articles for your website, products, services offered.
12.Make your customers payment process easy by making them pay by shipments methods.
13.When not sure, hire professionals.

Newsletters, if it's opt in yes it'll bring good traffic but if not it's a nightmare.
Would like to add that by having the <h1> tags on the title it helps as well.

Some of these aren't that helpful:

5.Submit every web page, not only home page. Be sure it is manual submission. Avoid automated submission.

If you mean submit to search engines you don't need to do this. I get indexed within 24 hrs, and have sites with 6 figure traffic from SEs and have never submitted anything to the SEs once.

If you mean directories most directories don't allow you to submit internal pages.

6.Keep track of search engine algorithm changes and processes, so that you will be able to modify your web page correctly according to latest techniques.

If you are thinking ahead you won't need to do this. There are few little tricks that work well - and those little tricks only have a small effect.

If you build good content, build links to your site, and optimize "slightly" for keywords that's all you need to do to get 6 figure SE traffic.

The key is quality content and lots of it.

Why modify always when algo changes? Keep the faith when algo changes...

If you re-optimize when the algo changes or before your site has had a chance to "settle in" with the engines, you'll never really know what works and what doesn't. Those small changes may help with the algo of the day, but not the one after that, or the one after that. I don't know about you, but I'm not fond of chasing my tail. When you try to figure out each new algorithm, that's basically what you're doing—and just like a dog, you'll never catch it.

If you've optimized a few websites in the past, you must have some idea of what works and what doesn't. Have faith in your skills, and don't let the rankings roller coaster scare you. Do the things you know work, and leave it alone.
