Yahoo answers helped, I have been able to set up a website www.fortunewatch.com . How can I attract traffic?

Answer 1

submit your site to major search engines line google and yahoo and msn.

http://www.google.com/addurl/
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/suggest/
http://beta.search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx
http://www.searchit.com/addurl.htm

then do link exchanges with other sites. this will increase your google page rank. you can check your google pr at

if you have the funds, buy a search keyword at overture.com or advertise with google ad words. before you buy a keyword, do a reverse search here.

Answer 2

Whoever host your web-site should have a service to list you on the different search engines, ask them.
If, it a Free Web Host like Geocities may as well forget it.
