I have had my store about two weeks now. I really love this program. I made a sale already. YES. Anyway, I am getting a lot of my traffic from:

I placed my ad on there a get around 30 hits to this site each day. It is free or paid. Free is the same as paid only there are a couple benefits that don't amount to much with the paid version. Check it out you might like it. Vintage and Modern Beads, findings and more.

I DO NOT reply with my store address in eBay's "Ask A Question".
I sell mainly geocoins, and have posted the information and store link in all the available forums and website that allow it--working pretty good for me.
I still sell a very few items on eBay, and hope to phase that out in the next 2 months.

Thanks for all the great tips here. I also use the link referral program but have yet to start promoting it (other than as my signature on my emails and here on the boards). I need to try the email marketing as Oshun has done. Sure can't hurt!
