Ask HN: How do I increase traffic to my site?

Disclaimer: I never launched a really successful site (but I am still trying ;) ). This is just a guess.

Overnight success takes years of preparation (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2009/01/overnight-success-i...), so ten days is just a start. I would suggest the following:

  Try to get a lot of feedback from real users
  Keep improving the site over the course of some months
  Blog about it
  Keep doing everything you do now (HN, reddit, twitter, facebook, ...)
  Read Seth Godin's blog (http://sethgodin.typepad.com/)
  Read everything Kathy Sierra ever posted (http://headrush.typepad.com/)

When you become successful please tell me what worked, so I can copy your success ;) I want to close with a shameless self promotion: I wrote about something similar in my blog some weeks ago: "I wish I had invented Twitter" - http://davidtanzer.net/node/82
