What is the best way to increase traffic from local people for a local website?

What is the best (and most inexpensive) way to increase traffic from local
people for a local website? I've started a site with a small local
community, but I'm looking to increase users. I've been promoting in a
friendly way through twitter, facebook, and myspace. Is there anything I'm
missing, any suggestions, or any tips? -Thanks!
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Much can be said for getting traffic by good old fashioned conversation. Join your local Chamber of Commerce, they can point you to the best directories and get your website out to hundreds, if not thousands of people, and cheaply.

Thanks for the answer! I've looked into joining a special Chamber of Commerce group in my area for young entrepreneurs, but was discouraged because I'm 19 and their specified age range is 22-40. Maybe I'll talk to them and find out if it's a solid requirement.

Without a doubt try again, that would be crazy if those were their requirements. Could it maybe be their target demographic instead? Don't call, stop in person with a few business cards in hand. You'll do great!

The most effective way to increase local traffic will be to use Google AdWords linked to the zip code or city name.

You could also print out fliers and post them in your local stores, laundromats, pet stores, any place local that has a bulletin board.
