Well, what kind of site is it? Depending on your content you could do what yopu are doing here, and that is posting in forums. Yes I understand that it would be a lot of registrating, but it will pay off in the end.
(A way around all the emails is to make an email account for that purpose sepcifically)

Plus you could always ask other sites like your to advertise for you, by putting a banner up on their site, and you would do the same thing in return.

There are other ways as well, free search engine submission, word of mouth, etc.

Thanks for your post! Then i will have to do a lot of registration and posting.. I hope all the effort will be worth it. But if i wont try i will never knew, so i will give it a try

Like moolkye said it would be good to join other forums that are related to your website and advertise there if they have an advertisement section but if not then you could always ask to affiliate with them. They will give you a small banner to but on your site and you can give them one of your small banners to put on their site. If you have friends interested in your website have them do the same and if they have friends like that have them do the same as well and a chain can get started. It is a lot of hard work but once you get going the growing won't stop.

Be active in every online forum that you are a member to. Then add signature to your posts linking to your site. It is better if you will be a member of a forum or group related to your websites. Join yahoogroups or other services like that. Update your websites regulary, making sure there are new contents every time a visitor checks your website. Referral is one of the best thing to do to increase your traffic. tell a close frien to tell his or her friends regarding your website.

Let's not put the cart before the horse. First you have to build your website and then make sure it has content on it worth reading and coming back to.

Ok, make sure it attracts visitors. No blinking ads, animated ads, popups and popunders, etc.

Add some free services such as crosswords, etc. You can find most of these services on Google. Free web content is a good way to start. Make sure they are ad free. A small text ad is okay, nothing bright and flashing though.

Ensure your site has good navigation. Don't make users click 10 links down to find pieces of info.

Include a feedback form. Users can give suggestions to your site.

Make non-animated ads so that other websites can display YOUR ad on thier pages.

Advertise (but don't spam) on Usenet, Google Groups, forums, etc. Make sure your message gets through to people in a nice and firm manner.

Sign up for Traffic Exchanges that don't utilize pop-unders or popups. These can be helpful sometimes.

That's all I can think about for now.

exchange links with other site owners. or else you can pay for ad space on some bigger sites. free link exchanges are a good way to get started

Try asking other popular websites to put a link of your site in their site. Get on a search engine.
Or you could always just hope that peolpe will come.Not! You cannot just make a website and expect people to come. When you make your site it doesn't even exsist. For further help please give me a message^_^
